Today we have cut the bridge between us and Europe.

We are from today less relevant to both Europe and America.

All of you who keep knocking the government,could you have done any better with the resources available?
Our politicians must be on their knees with exhaustion.
It is not their fault some people can’t stick to the rules.
But then you can’t cure stupid.
Let’s hope this new vaccine will offer some relief.

Varian
Remind me. How many seats is it that the party you support have in parliament? Oh yes, I remember now. 11. At least they made it into double figures, just!

Not only is it an incompetent government, it is rapidly becoming an isolated government unless it changes its values and principles pdq.

Just as the home secretary can never be too Brexity or dog-whistle rightwing, she can also never be too stupid or incompetent. These are the qualities Boris most admires, having gone to some trouble to eliminate every cabinet minister who showed the slightest sign of having any independence of thought. Or even of having a mind at all. Priti Patel’s sole purpose in government is to be Priti Vaca
