https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/dec/21/covid-royal-mail-halts-deliveries-to-mainland-europe-canada-and-turkey yeah no postal service. Just when everything is maxed it all collapses. Boris must be laughing his head off, on coke and alcohol.....
I reckon boris is on his own in a morose little corner as he knows he can't do anything now about the target on his back and his reputation being about as far from Churchill as possible.
He isn't so stupid as to not know he hasn't ballsed this all up and that will likely twist the knife in his guts.
Well am hoping anyway
Binners has hacked your account.
I thought you were trying to come up with something better ffs.
Still, I can't imagine the Presidium of the PFJ is much use on the witty quip front.
When everyone is wearing overalls it kills the fun somewhat, I guess.
Incidentally have any members started adding little bits of gold braid yet? You know 'some are more equal than others' stylee?
So on the TV now he (Johnson) is saying that WTO terms will be very satisfactory and we will 'prosper mightily'.
All said with a straight face
The cheek of it. Johnson and Schapps vomiting out self congratulations about the handling of Kent / Dover based on their successful Brexit prep, whilst Johnson jokes and smirks about Macrons birthday.
One thing he did says thats absolutely true "...we'll prosper mightly after January 1st".
Yeah, I bet you will >:/
Yeah, I bet you will
He's simply using the royal 'we'.
He's bored of pretending to be Churchill now, so he fancies trying the role of King Alexander the Inept...
Can I just confirm that this is the first use of ‘Tier 4+’?
That was slid in quite casually
I suspect we’ll be hearing a lot more of that in the coming weeks
I thought you were trying to come up with something better ffs.
We both know that you don't really think that. All that's happening is the sad spectacle of you trying to deflect attention from your loss of control earlier today. Here's a reminder.
So, basically, bollocks.
Got the arse because you can’t get your sprouts for Crimbo?
Do one, pal.
GFY.
Couldn’t care less what you think ransos.
Keep up the sub-Binners digs if you like, but you're going to have to do better if you want a bite.

Ok comrade.
All that’s happening is the sad spectacle of you trying to deflect attention from your loss of control earlier today.
By the way, no loss of control, I was just a bit pushed for time to dance rings around you then, so I kept it short.
I've got about half an hour now if you like...
STOP IT!
“I know you are, but what am I?”
Crossing the streams…
A reminder that our politicians chose to end the transition period when we were expecting the second wave of this pandemic to coincide with the normal NHS yearly crisis…
The donkeys that we elected have made this January the bit of a mess that it will be… they choose this… they have let us all down…

Half an hour slot has passed, unfortunately.
Guess you must have been busy - allotment perhaps?
🙊
As amusing it is, and good comedy value for a short respite within the context of the insanity, can we please try to stay on topic rather than pissing up lamp posts to see who can piss the most? whether that be on thier own trousers or on innocent bystanders.
WTF is our goverment doing apart from absolutley nothing?
What are they doing? Ruling out any reasonable way forward to prevent maximum No Deal disruption in 10 days time…
https://twitter.com/pippacrerar/status/1341012259598987272?s=21
What our government are doing is ‘getting Brexit done’ by simply doing nothing and running down the clock to No Deal
As for everything else that’s going on, they don’t seem to be unduly concerned by any of it
I still can’t quite believe that we’re in the middle of a pandemic and we have such a spectacularly incompetent bunch of chancers at the helm who still don’t even seem to be taking this seriously. Boris can’t help himself. He was at it again today, mugging and gurning and making flippant remarks
The ****ing clown!
On a practical note… who knows what’s required for GB->NI orders from the end of the month? I genuinely can’t work it out, and need to know.
Latest…

Re. That pippa crear tweet- Is this not just so the MPs have to time to scrutinise the deal and will have to vote it through so BoJo gets to be the hero?
We're even more ****ed than we thought, and were were pretty badly ****ed in the first instance.
With every day that passes, something else gets added to the ever-lengthening list of utterly shambolic none-readiness for what’s about to happen.
These are really fundamental things too, that this joke of a government doesn’t even seem to have even considered
wondering if you'll need to fill out a customs declaration for returns to CRC

I'd assume so, but in the UK, the PM isn't a leader, he'll say anything he fancies depending on which way the wind is blowing on a particular day.
All the time scales, and dealdines, are UK deadlines, which mysteriously seem to be fluid. Sometimes, when it suites.
Rushing a load of utter insanity through parliment is this governments modus operandi.
And they have a massive majority of cowardly carrear MPs to see it through.
They've already won. We just need to figure out how to limit the damage and reform.

Both labour and conservative, may I add.

and you know in 4 years or whenever, nothing is going to change, the same eejits will be re-elected!!!!
Is this really how a first world country behaves?
I can't believe that any of the people running this show would attempt to run their own businesses in a similar manner.
If any of this shower of imbeciles even attempted to run a business they’d have gone bust before lunchtime.
They couldn’t run a bath
All wealth must be inherited and unearned, accumulated off the backs of others.
Taxpayers money is there to be funnelled into the pockets of them and their mates. Brexit exists to make that process a lot easier
I can’t believe that any of the people running this show would attempt to run their own businesses in a similar manner.
Yep, but this is running a country, so it isn't their money. They don't give a shit.
I missed a ‘dont’t’ from my previous post. Agree with Mattyfez and others. Assuming a deal gets done, saying if it’s not ratified it’s no deal basically forces Labour to vote it through
Given that Keir Starmer and Boris Johnston are two cheeks of the same arse, why wouldn't they?
the unknown here is how many of the ERG headbangers are so hell-bent on no deal that they won’t vote for any deal
What's still missing is a deal to vote on.

I hardly need to post on this thread as Binners says pretty much exactly what I think!😁
when the idiot came out and dover calais was important, you knew it was never going to go well
Dammit binners has hit the nail on the head. The blond eejit will get to be the hero who defeated Europe and bent labour to his will.
Rubbish deal will be better than no deal and labour will have to vote aye to counter the erg.
We have crossed the Rubicon.

This was always going to be the outcome
In fact here we go
I saw that earlier but only just read it. Going from 60% to 35% when the EU suggested 25% is quite a capitulation.
Sounds like as has been previously suggested, BoJo will go with what the EU will accept and spin it was a great victory.
I Was surprised to read that Starmer wasn’t pushing for an extension when he was asked.
all in the game, yo

To a point, but as it will be debated Starmer can make it clear that this isn't the deal that was promised, that is needed or is wanted and the only reason to vote for it is because the only other option is worse (and is entirely due to tories). Point out that a better deal is and was possible but Boris threw it away through arrogant posturing and stupidity. And that we are going to have to go back and negotiate a proper trade deal anyway, so most of this will get revisited but on less favourable terms......
If he makes it quite clear that the only reason Labour support it is to make sure that Boris's own party can't sabotage the vote and that this is damage limitation putting Country before party then they may be OK.
wondering if you’ll need to fill out a customs declaration for returns to CRC
Depends, might just send it to Wiggle.
putting Country before party
The Tories have never once done this (and it's why we're here). The LibDems did and it destroyed them. Labour should allow a free vote with a nudge to abstain.
Given that Keir Starmer and Boris Johnston are two cheeks of the same arse,
You must be a rubbish judge of character!
I can’t believe that any of the people running this show would attempt to run their own businesses in a similar manner.
As someone who's worked with a fair few businesses over the years, I absolutely can. Why do you think British productivity is so low?
