We all now know so much more than any of us knew three and a half years ago about the damaging effects of any kind of brexit and the disastrous effects of a no deal brexit.

How on earth can anyone possibly justify this brexit nonsense?

Let's just agree that the whole thing was a huge mistake and thankfully we still have time to stop it.

Operation Yellowhammer - a brilliant name for no-deal contingency plans which sums up perfectly what will happen: "A little bit of bread and no cheeeeese" - the Yellowhammer's distinctive call.

People waving the EU flag at the Proms: Look at me! Look at me! How contrary am I? What a clever political statement I am making! How risqué!

Some people, in fact many people, are proud to be British and European. Great - fly the flags at every opportunity.

The last night of the proms was just great and any truly patriotic Briton would have loved it.

It was great to see all the blue waving flags. Kapitan seems to have a problem with happy people - as well as the retired and unemployed. Maybe he/she just has a problem with people.
