Johnson likes publicity.

Any attention is good attention. Whilst you are talking about how crazy his idea is, the less you come up with your own.

And there it is. The lack of plan to stop no deal. Just a bunch of idiots who argue over who is more right about politics without offering up a practical solution.

Unable to see their own flaws.

And leading us ever closer to the cliff edge and operation Yellowhammer.

What's wrong with this picture of Liz Truss engaged in trade talks with the Japanese minister ?

Thanks as always folks, I am as ever, grateful for your explanations!

rosie39forever · 21/08/2019 11:11

🤣🤣 that's the funniest thing I've seen in ages and also the most depressing thing, this fuckwit is in charge of our post Brexit trade deals!!!

bellinisurge · 21/08/2019 11:19

That's brilliant!

It took me a minute because I am probably also negotiating with the Japanese government on trade. A new code expression for Stoopid!

Is she actually holding it upside down or is it just badly photoshopped (yet with the carefully positioned picture of her hugging her Dulux dog?).

At first I thought it was that her shoes clash with her cutlass trousers. Ahoy! Or the red shoes. Treesamee Mark II?

Ignoring the photoshopped phone cable - why isn’t she using the speakerphone next to her and WTF is the Dulux dog photo doing there?

ContinuityError · 21/08/2019 11:23

Plus - you know what they say about red shoes ...

LonelyTiredandLow · 21/08/2019 11:24

Obvs it's a Top Secret conflab, can't have the pesky photographer telling the World how Japan plans to plunder our sticks once we leave?

Are we sure she isn't trying to get hold of Australia though? Wink

But Brexit will tackle the burning injustices the UK faces

www.theguardian.com/football/2019/aug/21/eu-to-blame-football-new-handball-rule-ian-holloway

The European Union has been blamed for many of the serious problems in British society, including the power of vacuum cleaners and the shape of bananas, and a new charge must now be added: football’s handball rule.

The former Queens Park Rangers manager Ian Holloway has bizarrely claimed that the EU is responsible for Gabriel Jesus’s late goal for Manchester City against Tottenham being disallowed.

(contd)

repeats: I will take it seriously. When they take it seriously ...

Germany has long been able to sell short term bonds at zero or longer ones at v low intrest rates, because investors think there money safe in Germany

However, "this is mental"
Some global investors are now clearly desperate for a German safe harbour.
Worrying about longterm global downturn ?

Dmitry Grozoubinski@DmitryOpines

This is mental.

The German Government is basically offering to charge investors and funds 30 years worth of inflation for the privilege of lending it free money
... and it's finding willing customers.

Not my field but that's probably not a fantastic sign for the global economy.

Germany to sell 30-year bonds with zero interest for first time

BigChocFrenzy · 21/08/2019 11:30

I wonder what rate the UK will have to set for its own 30-year bonds, if No Deal happens Hmm

TBF he didn’t actually say that - he used the EU “dictating” rules to the UK as a (very) clumsy example of an external body imposing new rules on English football.

DGRossetti · 21/08/2019 11:41

external body imposing new rules on English football.

Because English football has done so much to nurture English talent rather than buy in foreign players to make more mullah in the worlds most profitable football league ?

ContinuityError · 21/08/2019 11:53

My field of fucks is barren when it comes to football. Just pointing out that Holloway’s comments have been interpreted in a particular way.

ListeningQuietly · 21/08/2019 12:03

Have caught up. Shall now go back out into the sunshine.

If I crash out of having HRT I will get osteoporosis. (No ovaries after surgery.)

Is the Govt not discriminating against me on the grounds of sex, given that it's being complicit or instrumental in creating this shortage according to the KIMS hospital reports?

DGRossetti · 21/08/2019 12:41

Be a fascinating story about how this story got chosen ... alongside the headline about EU migration "underestimated" by the ONS (www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49420730)

‘Men have always taken the glory': Why more women are becoming farmers

(contd)

Why the BBC forms less and less of where I get my news. Or in the BBCs case "news" ....

BigChocFrenzy · 21/08/2019 12:55

AutumnCrow Sad For the sake of millions of women, let's hope HRT supplies return to normal asap

It's shit to put you through this

AutumnCrow · 21/08/2019 13:12

@BigChocFrenzy thanks for the kind thoughts. I've actually bought myself a 3-month buffer privately, using an online pharmacy, but I notice today that the online pharmacies are all running out now too so women are now being denied that option also.

So it's off to the continent we go ... maybe I'll set up a new sort of travel adventure company involving some very determined women, the estrogen grail, and the ultimate downfall of this misogynistic government.

BoJoIsABellend · 21/08/2019 13:19

That Liz Truss photo 😱🙊

Songsofexperience · 21/08/2019 13:22

I don't understand why the Tories are so far ahead in the polls.
Do people really believe no deal is great??

Songsofexperience · 21/08/2019 13:23

Again, for the 100th time, Corbyn has to go...

prettybird · 21/08/2019 13:37

Looking at the data tables for that Kantar survey: their unweighted base of those who said that they were likely to vote (ie excluding those who said that they wouldn't vote or refused to say) was 974 and the weighted base was a whole 737 Shock - so that would explain why it is such an outlier Hmm because probability variation is so large with such a small base ConfusedHmm

Again, for the 100th time, Corbyn has to go...

Only 100?!

Labour should be romping away with the polls. How can the Cons be ahead by so much? It's ridiculous.

Were the regions sufficiently represented to show that it would give a 40 seat majority though?

prettybird · 21/08/2019 13:45

You can't extrapolate from from a base of 737 Confused
