I hear we’re going to dig a hole in Kent and bury them
Won't all those bodies start smelling after a while? Oh, you mean the goods, not the lying cretins who got us in this mess.
We best watch ourselves. Not even God is allowed to criticise Brexit nowadays
‘Divisive bishops’ could force Johnson to cut ties with Church, says MP
Just when you think this country can't get any more unhinged, the Brexiteers immediately disabuse you of such quaint notions
Disestablishment would be a good thing, I am not going to quibble about how it happens. The alleged deity is alleged to move in mysterious ways.

The revolution must continue. Nothing and no one must stand in its way.
Reminds me very much of the French Revolution, continued on longer than its achieved aims, and ended badly for the revolutionary's.

One of course should always be disappointed with the actions of the opposition, but one should never be surprised.

It's ended pretty well, if it's ever ended. The spirit lives on and still defines France to the frustration of anyone running it.

Not really the thread for this, but the part of the revolution that led to the reign of terror, Napoleon, and the kings that followed. While the changes eventually stuck, it could have happened much sooner if the original revolutionary's hadn't out stayed their welcome, so to speak.
Hopefully that will happen here, but its probably too much to ask that the instigators of this f*ck up get guillotined.
The spirit lives on and still defines France to the frustration of anyone running it.
Can we agree to a tariff free trade deal that sells that spirit(bottled of course) to England?
Time to start buying baked beans. Make a killing on eBay next year.
And this happens even if we get a deal.

The 2020s to be the decade of "shortage of X"
The 2020s to be the decade of “shortage of X”
Well, the 2010s was the decade of shortage of brain cells so....
After a crappy day yesterday wielding my pick at the typeface I popped across the fields to my local for muscle relaxant.
A retired business buddy mentioned his high level J P Morgan neighbour is currently pretty certain there will be some kind of deal as both sides want it really badly.
So fingers crossed it wont be just something to keep the bankers in London.
I think there will be a 'thin' deal, which will still be terrible, but pronounced as a triumph.
‘Divisive bishops’ could force Johnson to cut ties with Church, says MP
Turning attention from threatening the BBC to threatening the church of England, all must bow down to the cult of Brexit or face ruin.
It’s a wizzard old wheeze isn’t it?
I'm sure it will feel like Christmas every day for some of Boris' mates, but I'm guessing most of us won't even be getting one of them this year.
Which bit of the Shengen Agreement don't you understand Johnson?
UK: We want all the benefits of being in the club but don't want to be a member or pay for it.
EU: You can't.
UK: WAHHHH! It's not fair!
Actually knowing how duplicitous this lot are, it wouldn't surprise me that they've looked at the EU's red line, not going to budge, points and explicitly demanded them so that the negotiations fail.
The whole having cake/eating cake principle still hasn't sunk in, has it?
They're not a bright bunch, are they?
Just had notice that my bank accounts are being closed because I don't live in the UK anymore. I still have income and outgoings there, though. So that's nice.
That one is just amusing mariner... which bit of "Leave the EU" does Johnson not get? And here's the worst thing... that's in the press because it's simple, easy to understand, and transparently an issue for the general public... behind the scenes this kind of shit is going on across all industries in way the public wouldn't grasp even if they were interested... with the government still failing to grasp what it is they were so insistent we have to do away with. Will o'the people.
i hope they are not going to shut my UK bank accounts , need them for the UK house .

I'm still not sure if it's supreme arrogance, or incredible stupidity, but I suspect its an amazing hybrid fusion of the two.

BSB aren't going to Assen either.
How much is related to Covid I don't know, but for a paddock that only does one international trip I'd guess that they looked at what they'd need to do (carnets etc) and thought "bu99er that".
Actually knowing how duplicitous this lot are, it wouldn’t surprise me that they’ve looked at the EU’s red line, not going to budge, points and explicitly demanded them so that the negotiations fail.
They are trying to ensure they 'fail'. Everyone with more than two brain cells knows there are going to be no benefits whatsoever coming to the 99.99% who aren't positioned to benefit personally.
This is really all about a massively disruptive 'event' that is designed to 'shake the pieces' of our society to allow privateering spivs in to make a stack of cash for themselves, then disappear overseas. It is a one-off, last chance heist of an economy in terminal decline and the interested parties are not going to miss this opportunity. No Deal is pretty much a nailed on certainty. Cummings is 'their man' and he has to deliver to get his payout. Total stitch up.
^^^
Basically just think of Brexit as a nation-level insider trade. It starts to make more sense that way. The key difference being that it is a destructive 'event' that is being staged as the perps don't hold the real interest in the 'company' (in this case our welfare state, health service, education, law enforcement etc).
The real short term spivs just need a nod and a wink and they can take positions against the pound. Overnight billions and a one way bet.
In the more medium term you have the outsourcing spivs circling the NHS, education etc. As the amount of cloth to be cut gets smaller they will be invited in, under tender, pocket a fortune, fail and transfer the mess back to the public purse. When someone asks the question about a recovery of the amount plundered you will find the perps offshored the cash about 30 seconds after they got it and are currently domiciled elsewhere. Recovering the cash will then become a massively long, drawn-out and (more snouts arrive at the trough) expensive process.
It is already happening. There are consultants being paid eye watering amounts investigating the effects of a No Deal on the NHS. Hundreds of thousands of pounds a day going out to a relatively small number of people researching the effects of an unnecessarily damaging act of self harm. Fishy, eh?
More evidence that mighty England may eventually be a very sad little country.
Scottish independence supporters are in the majority and who could blame them.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-54630729
I think that Scottish independence and a united Ireland are now a given. It's when not if.
But when that happens, the other thing to throw into the mix, given the shenanigans in Greater Manchester this last week, is the demand for proper regional devolution within England itself, which is now most firmly on the agenda.
I hope this is finally the death knell of dictatorial rule from London and the South East.
That'd be a nice 'Brexit Dividend'
Just now and then Brexit makes me smile. On TF1 this evening they had a report on 59.8% out voting Ashford and the lorry park being built opposite a toffy-nosed old person's delightful village. No mention of how they voted of course but there was not a word against Brexit, just the lorry park. Gloat me? Lots. I hope they park the refrigerated trucks just over the fence and the sex workers park their camper vans along the lane. 🙂
And some properly good news if reciprocated around Europe, which it will be:
No mention of how they voted of course but there was not a word against Brexit, just the lorry park.
Zero likelihood of a word against Brexit when the lorry park is all the fault of lily-livered remoaners, dirty foreigners etc.
Still, their quaint little village won't ever be quite so quaint again. I can see the photo of the village VE day street party 2021 now. Silly bunting, silly little union jacks being waved, cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off.... and a lorry driver having a piss in a lucozade bottle in the background....
🤣🇬🇧🤣🇬🇧🤣
My stepfather is a Brexit cheerleading, racist, Boris-supporting truck driver. Part of me hopes he spends a lot of time next year stuck in a traffic jam in Kent. Does this make me a bad person?

No. He sounds like a twot, so discounting the beautiful schadenfreude, him being stuck in Kent means you'll see him less. I'd class that as a win-win.
brexit, noun
(toht - l - krap)
The undefined being negotiated by the unprepared in order to get the unspecified for the uninformed.
Any recent sightings of Field Marshall François or is he still on secret manoeuvres?
It's not just Francois - there seems to be a few politicians keeping heads down...
Does that mean Essex police are investigating more than one of them?
One can only hope
I’m particularly enjoying the current Twitter spat going on with the @tradegovuk account regarding their claim sent out during the great British bake off that Soy Sauce would be cheaper in future due to the new Japan trade deal... which is actually untrue. It’s made even better because they haven’t yet worked out how to spell Soy
Is that the Brexit Dividend then? Soy sauce will not be going up by 30%?

Yesterday’s FT, meanwhile, was saying that we’ve now passed the point of no return and there will be chaos at the ports on January 1st even with a trade deal cobbled together.
Good job our economy will be in such robust good health at that point
Interesting discussion with my sister yesterday. Her (nurse) and her husband (police officer) both voted leave. Both said it was out of frustration with the ruling powers that be, and that anything was better than the situation they were in.
It's taken until yesterday, but she's now said it was a huge mistake and that they feel both lied to and stupid for having voted leave for the reasons they did. She had not realised the ramifications of not being in the EU anymore.
Anyone else seeing voter regret on either side? I'm wondering as a tough winter is upon us, with in 9 weeks (?) a Brexshit shambles, if we will see any more...
Nope. I only found out last weekend that one of my riding buddies is an ardent Brexshitter who doesn't want any sort of deal with the EU because we'll be able to get much better deals with everyone else. When pressed on who he means by "everyone else" he was somewhat unforthcoming but utterly unrepentant.
What happened to the halloween deadline for a final brexit deal? obviously covid is taking the headlines, but no where mentions the brexit halloween deadline, did it get extended?
There's supposed to be some sort of talks continuing. Sorry of. As BJ (well his minions) didn't walk away from talks as he threatened.... Because he's a lying shyster amongst other reasons. Understandably I think the EU just want rid now. We are a malignant growth off their coast like.
I suspect some bare minimum will get agreed which will make next to no difference. Its going to be bloody nasty next year and beyond. The EU will be damaged too but compared to the pain we will be going through....

It all hangs on the US election. Everyone knows that if Biden is elected this week then the chances of a US/UK trade deal is dead in the water, as he has stated that the Good Friday Agreement is sacrosanct. If thats the case then Boris will have no choice but to:
a) accept whatever the EU offers him and try to sell it as a victory
b) take the UK economy already ravaged by covid, put a gun against the back of its head and pull the trigger
b) take the UK economy already ravaged by covid, put a gun against the back of its head and pull the trigger
In normal times that would sound completely mad. Now...😐
you make it sound like a US/UK trade deal under trump would be good, I cant imagine any trade deal like that would be to the benefit to the uk..
