Feck's sake. I only went for a pee & completely missed this...Breaking: The Queen has resigned.

Personally, I believe that Lettuce, Bacon and Cheddar is too PC, it lacks audacity. By the way, Cheddar is currently protected by EU laws, is it by UK's?Tweet

You found a gig during Trump's visit?Feck's sake. I only went for a pee & completely missed this...
I was just talking about your post saying that there would be a revolution. There really wont.I voted remain. But remain didn't win and leave did win. The moral high ground is theirs. If you totally ignore them with some line that "you didn't know what you were voting for", you'll be asking for trouble.
So some way needs to be found and it won't be another referendum
Yeh just catching up. British politics are getting as interesting as trump presidencyComments since then suggest it's unlikely for now at least.
That could be a soundbite from the 18th or 19th century; politics is merely a source of amusement & the stuff of self-important memoirs to these clowns. Nothing truly changes in Britain...Giardian said:Sir Alan Duncan, the Foreign Office minister, has paid this tribute to his former boss:
"I had two amazing years in the foreign office working with Boris Johnson. He was and remains a larger than life figure, one of politics’ great characters."
It's no big deal to him. He's used to cabinet sackings and resignations.May’s govt & the rest of us are fecked.
Is it coincidence that the week the cabinet turns to shit, Donald will be visiting?!
It simply has to be now!I voted remain. But remain didn't win and leave did win. The moral high ground is theirs. If you totally ignore them with some line that "you didn't know what you were voting for", you'll be asking for trouble.

Try for Tory leadership?Can see Batten resigning and Farage taking over UKIP again. feck knows what else he can even attempt to do.
Looks like a packet of shortbread biscuits.
That's what all biscuits will look like under BREXITLooks like a packet of shortbread biscuits.

Yes trouble would be awful wouldn't it, best stay on the current strong and stable path instead.I voted remain. But remain didn't win and leave did win. The moral high ground is theirs.

Top 10 crossover episodesYeh just catching up. British politics are getting as interesting as trump presidency
Fitting that they are meeting up on Thursday
Sounds distraught.
Given his form in the past, I wouldn't put it past him putting that in as a quite calculated little in-joke.Sounds distraught.
"heading for a status of a colony " says the secretary of state of a nation that colonised half the world. Boo hoo
I don't think May is in any danger of losing a confidence vote.If there's no confidence vote, is this basically a way for Davis and Boris to pretend they have principles by standing down, while not having to effect any genuine change by implementing a Brexit they know won't work?
Can't this plonker just feck off to Yankee land.Tweet

I was in the UK when decimalisation was introduced, and the locals could not stop complaining about, and some still do now.I went to greece just after the euro was introduced, the locals could not stop complaining about it.
Sadly, I fear there is still a long way further to fall.That really shows how low we have sunk.
ahh fair enoughGiven his form in the past, I wouldn't put it past him putting that in as a quite calculated little in-joke.
This was somehow interpreted as a soft Brexit on here yesterday.She said no custom union, no single market, no ECJ and no freedom of movement. Which essentially means no deal and leads to the question, why is she negotiating with the EU?
The bit about juggernaut window heights is a strange inclusion. It's obvious he was being fobbed off as he was seen as a distraction … if the British government wanted to legislate that they could have done it independently of Europe if it were viable – it simply isn't.Tweet

Trump when he shows up to Downing Street this week.
I found that passage particularly strange. I think its a deliberate attempt at emotiveness in the absence of any coherent rational economic argument.The bit about juggernaut window heights is a strange inclusion.

I totally agree, but I thought about it more and edited my original post.I found that passage particularly strange. I think its a deliberate attempt at emotiveness in the absence of any coherent rational economic argument.
Just read it. Good point. But also, I would have assumed Britain can change rules of the road - look at the way drink driving limits differ accross Europe for example.I totally agree, but I thought about it more and edited my original post.
I don't know, I understand why @Adisa reads a soft brexit, it's not because of what is written or what she says but because she is seemingly negotiating with the EU. Now for me there is an angle that is interesting to explore, no deal doesn't require any negotiations, so if she isn't going for soft brexit then she is just acting in a way that will keep her in Downing Street for as long as possible. If she publicly states that no deal is the way, then her party doesn't need her and they are all going to fight for her place.This was somehow interpreted as a soft Brexit on here yesterday.
Furthermore, even more ridiculous are the Cabinet ministers resigning because she's effectively asking for No Deal.
Bingo.I found that passage particularly strange. I think its a deliberate attempt at emotiveness in the absence of any coherent rational economic argument.
I despise him. Hidden behind that buffoon persona for far too long. He knows exactly what he's doing and if anyone's a spineless jellyfish it's him.Someone on another board wrote that Johnson's letter is 'essentially an application letter for the PM job'.
