Come on, TGG - admit you really bought one of his "Hello there" speaking pillows to lull you to sleep?

Alas when the next cod-war starts the UK has no maritime assets to enforce our newly acquired rights to manage our fishing waters so what precautions will prospective Defence Secretaries here propose to implement against “the enemy”?



Answers please, by second-class post, on the back of an old ration card or your latest Covid status report from Hancock. =))

We enlist the SBS to place as many illegal immigrants as they can in the nets of each boat, thereby achieving two aims?

But has the newly privatised SBS submitted a quote for a quota? :-w

Poor Guy Verhoofprat seems to be on the same magic mushrooms as Barnier so I don’t see anything radical appearing from the panic talks now under way;



Incidentally the voice sounds like one of those synthetic METAR voices which some of us enjoyed hearing in past times?

But at least there’s no mug encouraging folks to buy one so that should make it easier for some here to concentrate on content once more...

Who is Anna Soubry? Has anyone heard of/from her recently? How did she and her spanking new political party fare in the Dec 2019 General Election? What could possibly have happened to her?

After considerable research on the topic of Brexit I arrived at the conclusion that it’s a fundamental difference between the English and the French, long suspected by more well-informed historians.

By way of an example here is a short discussion which I believe adequately explains the different outlook on subjects such as architecture and may help us understand the gulf between our 2 countries;

As I crouch in my kennel foaming at the mouth and howling at the moon, if the weather girl gets the forecast right, I confess I always thought the Covid-1984 crisis was a result of Brexit but was too afraid to say so lest folk question my sanity or lack thereof.

But now I’m mighty relieved to discover there are more (nutters) out there who think like me so that’s all right then.

Read and ponder;

This will be music to the (closed) ears of Labour so when can we expect the shrill whining to start in the HoC, except Dear Charmer who appeared some time ago to accept Brexit as inevitable?

I think I have missed the media in which "The madness of blaming the Covid death toll on Brexit" is displayed - where has it been hiding?

Ah, yes - I did miss that one (not a full-time Grauniad reader.)

Actually I put the failure to act properly down to:

a) Incompetence Tony Hancock/"let's have another baby" Bojo)
b) Jiggling on the end of the Chump's puppet strings - after all, it was going to go away at the end of February, wasn't it?

It is impossible to know where we are with Brexit, very excitable headlines contradicting themselves daily, the SNP triumphantly claiming plagues, famines, floods and independence, and no statements from the Government.
I am an enthusiastic supporter of Brexit and voted for Johnson as there was no alternative.

I really do hope that he knows what he is doing, or at least is employing people who do know what they are doing, because when I listen to self satisfied self congratulatory Government spokesmen reassuring us about Covid I do have my doubts, lets hope for the best.

I am not reassured by Johnson elevating those Remainers who exerted every sinew to thwart the referendum result into the House of Lords, just whose side is Johnson on?

Remainers in the HoL might have a difficult time trying to reverse the process as I gather from the departures board that the train has already left the station, so any sabotage will be on whatever crap deal is offered by the EUSSR and accepted by the BoJo & Cummings clique, and I can’t see the Dom fanatic letting that past.

As the Brussels Sprouts are exhausted wrestling over their €750,000,000,000 post-Covid-1984 financial agreement, reached apparently after much table-banging and emotional scenes in their discreet discussions, then maybe the attention has been diverted from the much-maligned Brits whose reputation of being the “awkward” squad in the bloc is now being supplanted by some of the more ‘permanent’ members of that doomed venture. :YMPARTY:

Every single misfortune which falls on the Scots is immediately blamed on Boris Johnson, motorway delays, closed libraries, thunderstorms, everything is caused by Johnson failing to stop Covid together with the likely outcome of Brexit. Sturgeon is under pressure from the even more unhinged section of her deranged followers and the only way she can retain her power is to stoke up the anti Westminster/Tory/English sentiments to demonstrate her unswerving dedication to plunge Scotland into Independence.

I read the local Scottish newspapers online out of fascination, even Goebbels could learn a thing or two from the SNP. Can I invite you to look at this
