Things are getting serious over the Pond.
The Mother of Parliaments censures the UK Government for a lack of transparency.
The British Prime Minister, after 17 months of Brexit negotiations, and after enthusiastically and lengthily promising to back its own motion for the House of Commons to approve the Government's own (at least, so called) Brexit deal, yesterday adjourns it suddenly, without giving the House of Commons the opportunity even to take a view on the adjournment.
The Speaker of the House of Commons, in response, derides the UK Government for its blatant disrespect for Parliament, in so doing.
I do wonder if in hindsight the lyrics of Sarah Brightman's Adagio (Albinoni/Giazotto) in G minor / 'Anytime, anywhere', can be viewed as a kind of ode to Great Britain's situation against background of the vivid Brexit events coming to a dénouement.
LYRICS: Strade son´ cambiate Faccie son diverse Era la mia città Non la conosco più La ora Io sono solo un´ estranea senza patria I remember you where there Anyone emotion Any true devotion Anytime, anywhere Case son´ cambiate Voci son´ diverse Era la mia città Non la conosco più La ora Io sono solo un´ estranea senza patria I remember you where there Anyone emotion Any true devotion Anytime, anywhere Tanti anni son´ passati Vite son´ cambiate Era la mia città Non la conosco più La ora Io sono solo un´ estranea senza patria
(Tr. ...It was my city, I recognize it no more...I am only a stranger without a country)

1 Timothy 2.1-2:
"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty."
