The Brits already said goodbye with the Brexit vote. Now its official. Elvis is leaving the building.

You never did.
 
I congratulate the British, who have found freedom from the shackles of the eurobureocracy, but it's too early to relax, it's time to think about the republican form of government. It's time to replace the irremovable Windsors and their hateful aristocracy, which parasitize on the british people
 
There appears to be precious little change in the lives of the British equivalent of 'Joe Six-pack' thus far. Perhaps there will be a commemorative stamp issued.
 
Andrew Marr off to a good start this morning - from now on, nobody else to blame, any successes will be down to our politicians, any failings will be down to our politicians. No more blaming the EU.

Except, Bojo looks like he's doing just this shouting out that "we won't be bullied by the EU..." because it appears the Canada style deal offered Theresa May is not the same one the EU is talking about.

To me, simple as this - you want to sell goods into a specific market that has set rules - then "alignment." You DON'T want to sell goods into a specific market that has set rules - then "no need for alignment."

There's already a coin

Brexit day 50p coin unveiled by Chancellor Sajid Javid - BBC News

So when at whatever time in the future Leave voters start having second thoughts, they can glue it to the edge of a hammer and stamp themselves in the forehead with it.:mrgreen:

As to "precious little change", of course there isn't. The UK won't be "out" til the end of this year.
 
Both sides of the channel set out positions today - Boris apparently pushing for an Australia style deal if we can't get a Canada style deal and the EU basically saying what it said 3 years ago.

Groundhog day? Not quite.

True dat.

Meanwhile the clown (UK version) has told all of 'em to take inspiration for the future from the ceiling painting in Greenwich, IOW aspire to get the Empire back.

I switched channels, thus having garnered his take on "no deal" only from later news snippets.:roll:

What he didn't elaborate upon is what exactly an Australia style deal is. Seeing how apart from Canada with whom the EU (and thus the UK) DOES have a deal, no such thing exists with Australia for either.

Ground clown day, more likely.
 
Since Australia has no deal with the EU, presumably Johnson is talking about WTO rules after crashing out deal-less in December!
If he knows what that is, he's spent his entire life since childhood winging it on the basis of a carefully crafted "bumbling jolly idiot" persona which he wears in public.

Did you or anyone else see the look of amusement on the Latvian Ambassador's face at BoJo's speech on Monday when she was asked about the benefits of an EU~Australia style deal for the UK? Said it all really.

Somebody should ask him if the Australia deal is better than the North Korea deal? (without saying that there isn't one of those either!)

I hear the Maldives have gone back into the Commonwealth. That must be a good sign for the path to regaining the Empire.

Johnson is insisting that the Windrush deportations be restarted. Sending people back to the Carribbean who came here as kids in the 1950's when their parents answered Britain's call for Commonwealth workers to help rebuild the country. Theresa May's "hostile environment" lives!

Along the lines and scale of the trade continuity deals Liam Fox prepared with the Palestinian Authority and the Farioe Islands. That will secure all those high tech jobs in the north east Brexitland.

Makes you wonder where are the forty "oven-ready" deals that were waiting to go on Brexit day?
 
Watching Boris gets things done reminds me of the American military doing the occupation of Iraq, where we had to run through and discard the top maybe thirty generals in the Hierarchy before we found in Petreaus someone who could get the job done..

The rot is really that bad now.
 
Here in Johnson's Conservative Britain The immigrants are testing better in English and Maths than native speakers! If they can't be bothered to learn English then they shouldn't be here!
