The Poverty of Brexit

Anna Soubry agrees with me!, Blimey!! As she said “where is Keir Starmer”?

Saying all that though Nick Robinson was incredibly rude. My god the Brexit broadcasting company really does need to get a grip

So here is a summary of the government’s position on Brexit according to David Alan Green

The government confirms that it will not join the customs union proposed by Labour, and instead the U.K. will be in another form of customs union which will not be the customs union or any existing customs union, but a new customs union with exactly the same effect as the Customs Union.

Glad that has been cleared up

Thanks for that picture, whitewave.
Fortunately I do not believe in hell.

This is May's hell.

Doesn't sound so bad to me :-) There are lots of imaginative things I would like to do to those two that would be very amusing

Gary Lineker is getting exited about there finally being something positive about Brexit

Crisps!!

Just come across Daphne du Maurier's book 'Rule Britannia' which was mentioned on facebook. About Britain leaving the common market and becoming part of the US. Never heard of the book before but sounds quite contemporary...

Summary of Fox’s speech

From my left hand “any form of a customs union would be a complete sellout”

From my right hand “my government has signed an agreement that pledges full alignment on a customs union to preserve the Irish border.

Poor old Fox he sounds as daft as his fellow dim brexiter who talks about borders in Pimlico.

BoJo's statement is getting a bit of a p*sstake on twitter

Barnier has just revealed that there has been zero progress since December.

I knew it would happen in my lifetime. 2052; what was he thinking of?
Just hope The Death of Grass doesn't happen yet, although it might if Bayer and Monsanto are allowed to join up.

Brexit is a threat to our human rights.

Have we talked about The Death of Grass Jen? It's a favourite of mine - so prescient. Probably needs another thread.

Yes, I've always liked John Christopher novels. In fact I bought that for my daughter in law to read with my grandson.
The problem with him is that his dystopia is too close for comfort now.
I used to have a book called the Science of Jurassic Park, too!

It's amazing - or frightening - when you think when it was written.

I always used to say there weren't any books like that when I was at primary school, but I was when it was written.
Not long after 1984, either.
I used to teach it in the 80s. I hadn't realised it was written in the 50s.

Horrible. Glad I'm vegan.
