28th February, 2019.
Yes, I know: that’s a bizarre thing to say …
But … ?
Every so often, I’ve woken up, first thing in the morning, convinced Tom Baker’s death is just about to get announced on the news.
Weird? Possibly: after all, the man’s not getting any younger.
But also the man who defined the Doctor as non-human … is also very much alive.
So that notion … ?
Well, weird doesn’t start … !

Just as a quick question … ?
Are you in the UK?
You’re possibly aware of the Brexit Situation: even if you aren’t.
Just so you know … ?
I voted Remain, back in 2016: so the ensuing vote to leave? Wasn’t something I wanted.
For starters, nobody in government seems to agree on what sort of Brexit’s wanted: hard, soft, deal, no deal, Canada plus, Norway style, with or without a backstop, whether we should introduce a delay …
With roughly a month left — we leave on 29th March — to agree any kind of deal, we’re getting close too a no-deal exit.
Again, STILL not something I want.
There’s been talk — talk — of a no deal exit, at the worst case.
There’s been talk — talk — of a delay. Possibly, that’s needed.
There’s been talk — talk — of a second referendum. Certainly the first was flawed.
There’s now an official position from Labour: the parliamentary party who formed the UK’s Official Opposition.
They’re going to support a second referendum.
Good.
I’d LOVE to see one: and hope for a Remain result in it.
But that depends on a couple of things.
Legislation for a second referendum successfully going through Parliament.
And what the question* on a Second referendum actually is.
