Imagine if Malta or Cyprus starting poaching British HGV drivers! The seethe from the usual suspects would be off the scale as former colonies stick the knife in. I could be wrong, but I'd imagine a non-EU (e.g. UK) driver could get a work permit in quite a few EU states at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Imagine if Alistair Campbell had just said "Aye, we just made WMD up then threw that Dr Kelly bloke under a bus. The US had our balls in a vice and f**k it, at least we got Saddam" in about 2004. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We solved the constitutional crisis of our own making by entering into an agreement with our nearest neighbours and friends in bad faith, with zero intention of complying with what we heralded as a great success just so we could beat that b*****d who wanted to give everyone free WiFi. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendan Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) The true disaster of Brexit is the complete poisoning of relations with our neighbours, and yet we are still throwing petrol on the flames. Meanwhile everyone thinks the real litmus test will be the availability of pigs in blankets and Christmas trees.

Medium to long term I agree, short term I would have thought the ludicrous exceptionalist response to covid wasn't great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Cummings is only confirming what everyone knew. Gove and others were openly briefing as such and they got away with it too with minimal blowback. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 19,735 voted for Nicola Sturgeon (in her constituency) . 1,294,204 voted SNP in the constituency vote last election. 1,018,322 voted for Brexit. Surprised that no-one pulled him up except online. ps. Does Mundell actually have a stammer or is he just a very nervous speaker?

It's the old get your lie in first cos far fewer people will notice the correction - it would've been embarrassing if he'd been called out on the show but he probably considers it a success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Venom Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 There's also the element of comparing binary and non-binary votes, which for some weird reason never gets brought up around FPTP and UK elections. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
