Brexit mega thread part 4 : non goady thread : Christmas edition

[Opal8]

Hi,

Longtime lurker and poster (under various nn) on Westminstenders and these threads.

I'm afraid the other thread op pissed me off a lot so here's another option for those of us that want one.

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and good luck for 2022.

Dh has redone the dcs British passports today

[quote Opal8]@eve

Many thanks x

So Tory and Brexshit donor Dyson, has been awarded the contract to supply HEPA filtration for schools at only 6 times the price of comparable units.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you, shocked...

I assume that schools won't have the money for this.

And nothing to see here;

UK firms taking taxpayer backed Covid loans, donating to the Tory party...

@Peregrina

I assume that schools won't have the money for this.

You assume right. Schools don’t even have the money for supply teachers to cover those off with Covid. But there are no supply teachers available, so it doesn’t really matter anyway.

It really beggars belief that so few papers talk about the catastrophe of johnson's hard brexit (that no-one voted for and was not part of the referendum), the attack on the judiciary, on the electoral commission, on democracy through the crime and sentencing bill, an attack on free markets by handing out contracts to mates on inflated prices, and latterly the attack on the NHS and social care. But a Christmas party and a quiz and hey presto the news is everywhere.

Labour MP asks for time in the HoC to discuss the impact of Brexit.
Rees-Mogg's response:

Holy crap, the level of debate in the mother of parliaments. It's been dumbed down to below toddler level. What we have allowed to be done to us in the name of ideology. Fuxache.

JRM isn’t interested in the impacts of Brexit on others- for him it will likely be very profitable and that’s all that matters to him.

It was embarrassing to see Rees-Mogg making that statement. This is a supposedly intelligent man, but you could be forgiven for thinking he can't be. What a disgrace! But why do people vote for such an idiot?

Chasing Invacare spares up, I've just spoken with the 4th person who has said they have no idea when the spares will be available.

As the castor starts to seize, it makes the wheelchair harder to steer. Quite aside from the safety issues (not that the disabled have any business leaving the house anyway) there's the extra stain it's putting on muscles already fatigued from the pernicious effects of MS.

Dignitas gift vouchers ? May well be an idea.

And in No Shit Sherlock news today;

"Senior Conservative MPs warn that Brexit is destroying British agriculture."

There are no words...

It's almost like brexshitters didn't think it through....

It would be funny wouldn't it? Why don't employers pay for more visas whine, whine. You voted to cut immigration chum.

I assume you've looked into ordering them to a friend or relative abroad, and then having them hand posted to you?

My dh will be going to the US again early next year...can we help?

I've not ruled it out - and thanks to @Opal8 too.

However, living in Birmingham, there should be an engineering firm somewhere that can make a spring. The castor is a standard bearing if you know how to use a bearing puller.

Apparently.

Covid permitting, I'll be travelling to Edinburgh on Jan 30th. If the parts aren't too heavy, you could get them sent here and I could bring them in my luggage and post them to you from Scotland. It would be cheaper and simpler than p&p & customs from the EU now.
PM me if you want.

I just don't know where to start with this...

The erosion of liberty in Hong Kong is an affront to freedom and democracy.

Is it the hypocrisy? Or the stupidity? Where can satirists go from here?

Commons backs Covid passes by 369 votes to 126

More than reported even after going begging to the 1922 Committee?
If the tories lose the Shropshire by election on Thursday (unlikely) the knives will be out for De Pfeffle
