just a bit of 'mithering' here:

Added to which, the EU must be trying to come to a solution too, as they import more drugs from us than we do from them.
And - in addition to that problem - there is a worldwide shortage of essential drugs which is affecting all countries.

Jalima1108 Sun 14-Oct-18 19:27:40

So the links of the serious concerns by medical and pharmaceutical experts represent 'running around like a headless chicken'.

No!! Not them!
They are working towards a sensible solution

Jalima1108 Sun 14-Oct-18 19:28:33

we are an island,
confused yet again
I thought Switzerland was land-locked.
Am I missing something here?

Chewbacca Sun 14-Oct-18 19:35:24

There's lot missing here Jalima. Sanity and common sense being two of them.

Great post POGS smile

Jura - you just don't 'get it' sad.

Jalima1108 Sun 14-Oct-18 20:13:19

I thought the links were to those who were concerned, sensible, measured and determined to find a solution to what could be a problem.

Very different to some of the 'mitherings' on this thread.

Jalima
No, your not missing anything. I'm sure many of us are thinking the same thing.

POGS Sun 14-Oct-18 20:16:33

oldbatty

Why did you post lyrics from The Red Flag?

Chewbacca Sun 14-Oct-18 20:18:10

I asked that ages ago POGS but answer came their none. I think its meant to be cryptic.

Jalima1108 Sun 14-Oct-18 20:19:36

it's such a good tune POGS - especially when singing about Christmas trees
wink

oldbatty Sun 14-Oct-18 20:25:25

I like it. I like what it says. I like the idea of redistribution of wealth.

MawBroon Sun 14-Oct-18 20:28:44

And the connection with this thread is....?
(Answers on a postcard)

POGS Sun 14-Oct-18 20:29:33

Oh

So no relevance to anything on this thread or poster.
[confused ]

oldbatty Sun 14-Oct-18 20:32:58

here's my answer, not on a postcard, I can say what I like and post what I like and some of you are downright unpleasant and sarcastic.

Chewbacca Sun 14-Oct-18 20:35:23

Eh? I was perfectly pleasant, and not at all sarcastic, when I asked why the Marxist lyrics earlier oldbatty. I genuinely couldn't see the connection. And still can't, to be fair.

oldbatty Sun 14-Oct-18 20:40:22

sorry but there is a bit of a coterie on here sometimes.

Chewbacca Sun 14-Oct-18 20:43:46

Ok smile

lemongrove Sun 14-Oct-18 21:54:01

So, if you think there is a ‘coterie’ you immediately start singing The Red Flag? Makes sense...grin

oldbatty Sun 14-Oct-18 22:06:53

Oh well it's fun to mix things up a bit sometimes.

Chewbacca Sun 14-Oct-18 22:09:20

That's true enough oldbatty! smile

POGS Sun 14-Oct-18 22:13:33

oldbatty

Fun!

You think what has been said and the subject of cancer/illness and medical supplies worthy of deflection for ' fun '.

Hmmm.

oldbatty Sun 14-Oct-18 22:21:08

Let's face it, it's an almighty mess and nobody hasa clue what's going on.

harrigran Sun 14-Oct-18 22:54:39

jura2 I am well aware that you live in Switzerland and the comment was not actually directed at you but a general complaint about scaremongering by ex pats. I have family in Germany and Belgium who probably believe I alone engineered Brexit.

MaizieD Sun 14-Oct-18 23:02:49

Let's face it, it's an almighty mess and nobody hasa clue what's going on.

That just about nails it, oldbatty

It's weirdly fascinating watching the tory party implode. And taking the UK with it...
