Well it keeps them in their mansions, and they have done some good for us. Although I can see why it is called the house of comedians

So they shot themselves in the foot by not giving you a loan HiViz to take the perilous journey back the truck! :-)

According to the media this morning, the PM is refusing to be rushed into announcing the next move, vote or whatever, on our exit.... In the meantime, better do some research on the MEP candidates I will be asked to vote for, or not! |

I'm a bit worried that democracy is going to be bypassed because the government is refusing to rule out abandoning the European elections.
Whilst there is a possibility that we may stay in the EU past June it is imperative that people have their say. Democracy demands those elections go ahead, the public must have their say. We need to choose who represents us. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

Sometimes we've better learn, or try to learn, from what is not said or said abroad. Just now, several important govs are working hard about new regulations to apply after Brexit. I guess it means that now they take it seriously. Good news imo.
Gerry'Mo PS Sorry for putting "gov'" and "working" in the same sentence! |

That’s the attitude! Just announced by Mr Grayling’s office that the ‘no deal’ ferry contracts are being cancelled. It’s only going to cost US £50 million....... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-48117366 I hate to think how much the whole brexit debacle is going to cost taxpayers in immediate costs, let alone from the knock-on affect its going to have on the economy! |

In truth, leave or stay, I doubt there will be much impact on the overall economy. Individuals and small businesses may feel a slight pinch in the event of staying since taxes will rise to cover the costs of paying the full levy to the EU. Plus the requirement to keep bailing out the less productive member states.

According to the Times today, in Germany, those applying for citizenship are now marked down on their entrance test if their answer to the question "How many countries are there in the EU?" is not "27"..........
Always said the Germans were forward-thinking |

I think you're right there. It will make no difference to our pockets leaving, it will be spent elsewhere. The NHS lie was the worst and even Boris admits that

I don't think it is possible for them to be economical with the truth when they have no idea what the "truth" is. Nor, so far as one can ascertain, does not knowing worry them much. Indeed it might be seen a very positive benefit. |

Boris's main claim to any form of competence, other than a good memory for 'the classics' in an historical context, is his knowledge and experience of "spaffing" other people's compulsory tax payments "up the wall". I feel sure he would, when allowed, continue to deploy that knowledge and experience very effectively (from his point of view). |

Boris loves talking and has good knowledge, but he also knows the ins and outs of politics. To be fair I do agree with some of his views, if not all

On the basis that; he does have an education; believes in what he says; and, there is no real alternative he gets my vote.

I certainly hope that was said in jest, or at least meant to be ironic. The man's a sham, and he changes his mind/views almost as often as I change my socks! Do you remember when he was standing as the candidate for Uxbridge that he said that he would lie down in front of the bulldozers to stop a third runway at Heathrow? Well, what does he do when the matter came to be voted on in the Commons? He jumps into an RAF transporter, and flies off to Iraq on an unscheduled day trip just to avoid having to through the voting lobby. The man's a waste of space. |

Like I said what's the alternative?
Not entirely in jest, we (you) appear to expect perfection, I don't. I do know that London improved greatly under his watch and is now dying again. Likewise whilst he's used certain means to avoid a vote, he's not the only one. Who would you pick? |
