The sooner this buffoon gets off the train the better. I pity the subtitle writers and the signers!
The man is a blithering buffoon... and is surrounded by a coterie of toadying incompetents... Did anybody watch the fireplace salesman yesterday? Pathetic!
As I said, Frank Spencer, and which idiot gave him the nuclear keys? Tobias seems more sensible.

Meanwhile, as if there wasn't enough to worry and fight about, the Flat Earthers and other conspiracy fools have their say:
On 1 Jan 2021, what is going to happen to:-
UKIP
The Brexit Party
The Farage
...and will we be able to do anything different with the boat people?
Farage will still be around, he won't rest until the UK has a deal with the EU that doesn't cede any of the UK's sovereign rights, because one assumes that talks won't stop if they haven't done a deal by then. Even then, he might return to haunt future governments if they look like they're weakening.
It is the first time that any government has cut VAT.
Maybe a UK government. Stephen Harper cut GST (Canadian VAT) from 7% to 5%.
No it's not. Alistair Darling cut VAT from 17.5% to 15%. Thanks to EU rules it cannot be cut below that. The beauty of VAT is the poor, who otherwise would pay no tax,or have to pay a 20% sin tax.

Post Independence Day, after the New Year festivities are over, we will have control over VAT, as well as so many other things.
That reminds me, I really must arrange for my single firework to be made. It'll be a bespoke job. Massive, mortar launched, with a starburst spread from 500' agl to 100' below the Edinburgh CTA stub. All fully legal and as safe as safe can be. I've got a ship's foghorn which will sound for 60 seconds after the last crackle of the firework. There will be much merriment, in addition to the usual Hogmanay malarkey.
It'll be fired by laptop at very exactly 24:00z on the 31st of December.

I heard a single firework go off at 3 am last night.First thoughts were "Why."

Shouldn't that be 00.00.01z on the 1st Jan. ?

For weeks now we in the UK and the planet have been bombarded with messages telling us which ethnic backgrounds and BMI’s have been statistically shown to be vulnerable to the plague and it’s (terminal) effects.
So I award the chocolate teapot award to the publicity director of this campaign on impeccable timing for the launch;
I wonder what General Practitioners will be saying to such examples of Homo sapiens when next they are in the surgery for a consultation on any condition? But then maybe the GPs will be afraid to mention their patients’ BMI as the PC “taking offence” brigade will be on the alert for any perceived slight or alleged insult?
