Today is the last scheduled day for talks with the EU.

We have til 30th June to ask for a transition extension. We won't.

That leaves us starring down the barrel of a no deal exit, when we still could be in a covid-19 crisis and the US may be in turmoil given recent events and the coming election...

It's not a pretty picture.

My thoughts to. Win win. For Barnier - he stops wasting his time, and can get on with his life, and Boris and chums, can say it's all the nasty EU's fault.

Meanwhile, we the plebs suffer. But people can only take so much. As we have seen with the Black Lives Matter and the Colston statue, I wouldn't like to bet on how the public would respond. They didn't buy the Cummings excuses.

Oriel College are properly mindful of the previous attacks they have suffered at the hands of iconoclasts in previous centuries.

That said, could they not just move him indoors, out of sight and out of mind?

According to the Express ! Boris is the worlds least popular leader.

I'm hoping and praying the Oxford vaccine trials is successful this year. If it is Boris will take all the credit and elevate himself from the bottom.

AuldAlliance · 09/06/2020 20:08

I can confirm that my French friends here are all sniggering/aghast at Cummings being such an entitled twat, but have not mentioned Brexit recently and I suspect most of them reckon it's done and CBA with it any more anyway.

Interestingly, Douglas Ross's comments seem to have been broadcast here, as a friend who counts only on French radio/TV for her news mentioned this evening how 'juste' she thought his resignation statement was.

AuldAlliance · 09/06/2020 20:09

Wow.
I posted on here and it has been "hidden until the MN team can take a look at it".

HoneysuckIejasmine · 09/06/2020 20:12

What did you say, Auld?

GeistohneGrenzen · 09/06/2020 20:13

I'm all agog!

Nothing to do with previous post where my thoughts were along the lines of Boris being hoist with his own petard was it? Though I couldn't really see the connection with the vaccine trials...

MockersGuidedByTheScience · 09/06/2020 20:19

A Boris Vaccine, leaving people impervious to being swayed by mop-haired shambolic rants interspersed with extraneous gobbitts of random Latin, would be a public good worth investment.

AuldAlliance · 09/06/2020 20:21

Well, I drank most of a bottle of rosé on my terrace with a friend whose father is dying before I toddled back to my laptop, so I can't pinpoint what might have caused the censorship, but basically I said I could confirm that people here in France agree with our viewpoint on DC, that a friend mentioned today how "juste" Douglas Ross's resignation statement was, and that my French mates think Brexit is done and CBA with it anyway.

I may have compared DC unfavourably to a word beginning with T that is also used to refer to female genitalia (I can't remember my exact wording, TBH), but I am struggling to identify what caused MN to hide my post.
Regulars on here will know that I am not exactly the most likely candidate for censorship.
Not sure whether to be flattered or leave MN immediately.

QueenOfThorns · 09/06/2020 20:25

Well, I think it’s clear, Auld. You have insulted female genitalia by comparing them to DC and must pay the price (whatever that is).

HoneysuckIejasmine · 09/06/2020 20:25

Frankly calling him a twat sounds pretty mild and accurate

yoikes · 09/06/2020 20:33

Mnhq are losing the fucking plot re: deletions lately.

I'm mostly small lurker and see so many deleted posts when much worse is left to stand...

And twat is a VERY quaint term for the spam faced fucker

yoikes · 09/06/2020 20:34

Small lurker!???
Ffs

AuldAlliance · 09/06/2020 20:35

I am posting a conciliatory pussy in an effort to convince both female genitalia and MN that I am not a bad 'un.

yoikes · 09/06/2020 20:39

You have a beautiful pussy auld

Here is a cake I made yesterday...

LouiseCollins28 · 09/06/2020 20:40

Jeez, not like you to get stamped on by MNTowers Auld sorry to hear about your dad too! Flowers

AuldAlliance · 09/06/2020 20:47

Cheers, yoikes.
That's a fine cake. (Finbarr Saunders could maybe find smut in there, but I'm struggling...)

I haven't posted for a bit, as I have been lurking and trying to juggle work, kids, long-distance support for my ailing mother and the rest, but my deepest condolences to you and yours, TheElements.

SabrinaThwaite · 09/06/2020 20:50

A Boris Vaccine, leaving people impervious to being swayed by mop-haired shambolic rants interspersed with extraneous gobbitts of random Latin, would be a public good worth investment.

And it would only need to be effective on 21% of the UK population to be 100% effective.

BigChocFrenzy · 09/06/2020 20:53

Maybe MNHQ are envious of your beautiful pussy, Auld

BigChocFrenzy · 09/06/2020 20:55

I hope this doesn't get deleted for bad language too ....

The word that AuldAlliance that begins with "t" is actually a relatively mild pejorative term in Scotland - without the meaning of female genitalia (it just means someone is a real idiot - but more pejorative than that). It was only on MN that I learnt that in certain regions it is a much stronger word (in the same way that I wouldn't use the "c" word except in French Wink

Given that we freely use the term clusterfuck and cockwomble Grin, I'd be surprised if that was the reason. It could be another one of the "hidden" words (eg laughing with a dirty mind - "S" plus the name of Guy Gibson's dog in Dambusters, which is a word that isn't allowed at the moment) that has triggered the automatic filter. It happened on the Boot Camp thread Shock

But this discussion has reminded me of to re-post this old favourite. You can thank me for the ear worm Grin

ListeningQuietly · 09/06/2020 21:28

I wonder what Mr Dyer would have to say about Mr Johnson

TatianaBis · 09/06/2020 21:35

in the same way that I wouldn't use the "c" word

I would and have - generally Tories. Probably on here. So it’s odd about twat.

yoikes · 09/06/2020 21:37

I'm not one to mince my words either Grin
