The Brexit Arms (temporary till the licensee get here)

Noise enforcement squad!
Where's the landlady? Surfer?
We've been advised of a a lock in and it's reported that the jukebox has been stuck playing Pulp - Common People - all night.

Love the Daily Mash heading and the first two lines; they should have stopped there

The daily mash is just the guardian saying what they really think.

It's the message, not the man, innit?

I stopped following them on FB over their disgusting portrayal of leave voters. They think they can get away with bigoted shite because it's 'humour' - left wing wankers. They're not even funny half the time.

The twitter photos are hilarious, how many people will be feeling a teeny bit hot under the collar today The way the cookie crumbles.

Can't disagree with you on the Mash surfer.

Frustrated by the endless calls for details and justification I've got the "I know I'm shouting ..." quote my DF used to use running through my head. I think it was a football manager who said it?

"The Scottish Government has been happy for the British aristocracy to manage Highland sporting estates for their own benefit (hunting, shooting, fishing)"
Informal - is the Scottish Government happy for the British aristocracy to manage Highland sporting estates?
I thought they planned to ban primo geniture in order to break up these estates?

Evening folks. Feeling very mellow tonight and about to settle into a nice smooth while the roast is roasting and Spotify is belting out my happy playlist.
What's everyone else up to?

howabout You said "I am far more interested in the position of the Dane who is the biggest landowner in Scotland mopping up millions in EU "farming" subsidies. He apparently prefers repopulating the Highlands with wild lynx to looking at investing in agricultural businesses. "

He's not mopping up millions in EU subsidies though, is he? Payments are limited because of the nature of the land.

You can't equate cultivatable land with uncultivatable land - what local agricultural businesses do you want to see in high moorlands?

No, it's not right that people like Al Saud and Dyson are getting shed loads of EU subsidies - and it's the fault of the CAP system which doesn't require the money to be invested in the land. The National Trust and the RSPB which are both huge CAP beneficiaries (£8 million and £3.5 million respectively) are arguing for reform.

I thought they planned to ban primo geniture in order to break up these estates?

That would be the hoped for side effect of ensuring that children are treated equally when it comes to movable and immovable assets - but effectively landowners will still be able to make their own arrangements.

Oh man! I nearly died laughing!

It's v funny, isn't it!

Poor wee Hilary

Brilliant isn't it - I liked the John Lewis ad this year but this has definitely topped it

that was funny

"That would be the hoped for side effect of ensuring that children are treated equally when it comes to movable and immovable assets - but effectively landowners will still be able to make their own arrangements."

Informal, genuine question, but how would they be able to make their own arrangements? In Europe the Napoleonic code has forced properties to be divided up.

Actual lol at this proposal:

Associate EU Membership - whereby 'Associate Members' pay an annual fee to the EU to retain their rights to free movement & medical care etc.

A few people on my FB are sharing it with all manner of fist-bumpy 'yeah! I'm up for that, for sure!' type commentary.

Ironically they seem to have conveniently airbrushed from their minds 'the poor' who they were handwringing over before....
You know - 'the poor who will be disproportionately affected by Brexit' - liberal tears were virtually shed all over social media about these 'poor' folk & their ruined futures.

Funnily enough, now that my rich & privileged liberal friends have the notion that they may in fact be able to buy their Europeanness post Brexit, they're all over it like a bad rash - 'the poor' that caused them so much angst now merely a distant memory...

Well, I hope all the t's and c's of associate membership are scrutinised by the takers and that they don't find that they are signing their children up for national service for the EU army.

I am having some sinking feelings today, that the reason TM et al are so keen to distance from Farage is because they are worried that by association they might have to actually Brexit. Anyone else thought that?

Hi Boredofbrexit
Sorry haven't been on here much last few days ( busy busy ) but the Farage/Trump thing is great for Brexit, they're not going to try & screw us now Farage is best mates with the top man in the world.

Hi Surfer! Good to hear from you, we need a bit of your cheery optimism to keep us right.

lol - I often gravitate towards Claig's threads when in need of cheesy optimism!!

That woman is irrepressible

All lights are green baby!

Cheery optimism! Not cheesy

Although cheesy works too

As Rihanna says I'll drink to that! Scandalous, on a school night.

But I still have reservations about May. I think her over eager cheerleading is to throw off the scent, waste time etc.

What keeps me sane is reckoning that there's soon likely to be sod all left of the EU to leave

I've got her thread on watch but haven't caught up on it tbh.
She's totally brilliant though, name checked me once & I nearly fainted.
