My theory on why it is all so bloody LAST MINUTE....

[attila]

I think they are leaving it to the very last minute because they want the world (ie NIMBYS) to see that every conceivable measure has been taken and every angle has been looked at - thus lessening the chances of any judicial review, should the NIMBYs be mad enough to sue the Government.

I hope that's what it is anyway.
I can't see any other reason.

After more than 10 years I suppose a few days doesn't make much difference..

THOUGH IT BLOODY FEELS LIKE IT DOES!

Or it could be Prescott has not even looked at it yet

They've spent the last five years trying to teach the pie boy to f***ing read

 

[Curious Orange]

I don't think its got anything to do with the rat protection league. I reckon they're just trying to piss me, personally, off!!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

They tossed the coin. Heads - YES. Tails - NO.

But it rolled under the table and they can't find it.

Gordon Brown won't increase taxes to let them get their hands on another coin. And the House of Commons Treasury Committee hasn't yet completed its investigation into the scandal of missing funds at the ODPM.

Please don't say that Lord b.
I do tend to believe everything you write.

This and final legal advice/documentation have to be the reason.

 

[sullyupthewing]

No doubt they have made a decision and the wait now is down to the pinstripe piranhas.

 

[tinx]

Maybe they have got a temp in thats typing up the letters and she's a bit dim and slow and its taking her ages to type it.

Well it might be the case

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

No :rescott:

Yes :rescott:

just get a fecking move on Fatboy.

 

[Turkey]

Every minute that passes is a minute too long. Can't take it anymore!!

 

[Uncle Buck]

No :rescott:

Yes :rescott:

just get a fecking move on Fatboy.

Well that should swing it Glover, well done.

I hope your right attila, I really do. Sounds plausable to me!

Prescott has been out on his travels for the past week. Prehaps he needed to be back in London to sign it off before it can be released? I guess he will have the final say as he is in charge and ultimatley responsible for all the decisions made by his team.

 

[perseus]

It could go into the second day of Injury Time. I hope it is in 2005.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Anything I can do to help Piers

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

I've got a feeling that they will find a way to extend the deadline - so that we have to make a big pie for prescott as a final campaign push

Hmmmm.....

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Of course the decision will have already been taken, probably weeks ago. The reason we haven't heard anything is, I think, down to the Department, checking and re-checking with the lawyers and political advisors.

1) Is this going to have any national implications, if we say YES. If so what are they? Is it going to cause trouble down the line?

2) If we do say YES could our decision be taken to judicial review?

These wil be considered very carefully. Lawyers are cautious creatures and they like to take their time.

We'll know soon enough.

 

[O Lads]

I was just wondering what happens if he doesnt make a decision before mondat?
I know he is meant to legally but what if he doesnt, will they arrest him and lock him up or fine him or what?

COME ON JP GET A MOVE ON!
