Brexit mega thread part 5 : new year new PM? Partygate continues...

[Opal8]

Morning

New thread

Ds1s new UK passport arrived today.

Got a real gut punch feeling when I saw the black cover :(

It's just all so....pointless...and will impoverish the UK (in all senses of the word)

Did anyone seee Nathalie Elphicke claim that Dover traffic jams are "not because of Brexit, but because of Brussels bureaucracy and red tape".

@HannibalHeyes

Ah, another Great Brexshit Bonus!

This is excellent news for all the businesses that this country relies on so much to rip people off and provide poor service.

I did. The TV barely survived

She is correct, it is not because of Brexit.

It is because it is the wrong type of Brexit. If the EU, Jeremy Corbyn and other enemies of the will of the people had just allowed the right kind of Brexit it would be fine.

The queues are Corbyn's fault, surely?

Maybe he wandered over the M20, basket in hand, looking for fruit for his jam-making.
And he does have a weird brother.

An open and shut case, innit?

Just thank goodness that we didn't end up with Chaos with Ed Milliband eh?...

More fascism coming to a school near you.

My DS and his classmates have been frequently taking the Mickey out of Bozo (and Trump). There is, apparently, one boy in his year who is pro-Trump and pro-Johnson. I do wonder if he has passed his 11-plus...

I am just catching the Tory propaganda broadcast, lies lies lies and some weird graphics

That was supposed to be a confused face rather than angry as it was just weird.

I do love Charlie Brooker...

Although I suspect the grammar mistake wasn't his...

Cold War Steve nailing it again...

Re the Met "reconsidering". I for one am not holding my breath.

We have to put up with EU controls. But we don't have to replicate them ourselves. We should have a light-touch border to the whole world. That's a Brexit opportunity.

Once again conveniently forgetting that the UK has a land border.

I'm sure he remembers, I just think he doesn't care. They'll happily watch the situation in Ireland worsen to the point of civil war because it gives them cover to loot the last of our publicly owned services @mathanxiety

I imagine they are now on a police register of non-offenders, and in line for a "thinking check".

Did you hear R4s mixtape of Dame Cressida Dicks top 10 apologies yesteday ?

JRM is asking Sun readers to write to him with the EU regulations they want to see abolished

Well, that's going to go really well .

@Opal8

Oh! And can I suggest cans with pull openers? Many clients don't have tin openers Pot noodles/savoury pots are handy as they only need hot water Thank you :)

Thank you for all the advice, if we are going to give it is good to be giving the best things. Hope you are getting plenty of donations, I think you are going to be very busy. The food banks are such a support to many, I wanted to volunteer but it was just as covid was starting and my kids were worried about me and even more about me putting DH at risk as he is very vulnerable. Maybe time to think again.

DGR, no, what did I miss?

.

Funny that

I'm pondering where we could go when if the UK becomes a failed state.

I am unsurprised to see reports of GE next year. In fact, I predicted it. The current cabinet will slope off, counting their piles of money to EU countries where they have bought their residency a la nigel lawson or the US.

God, what a fucking waste.
