Whatever happened to that deadline…

As it happens, I’m in town tomorrow for the formerly hard deadline, but it is far from clear what if anything that it will signify. Noel MacAdam in today’s Tele (no link as yet): “Taking a semantic, not to say strategic, leap or two, Peter Hain seems to believe that, while the actual date can change, deadlines remain the same [eh? – ed]. Without it, this week’s sweeping legislation would not have happened”.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
