Absolute gold.
Ah thats outstanding, classic Borris.
Terrific banter tbf
May’s speaking about Brexit negotiations currently. She’s about 20 minutes in and has said absolutely of substance bar a few absolutely nonsense proposals. The Brits should be terrified that this one is going to be leading them through negotiations. Not a breeze.
I believe I was the first forumites to call this.

It’s scary how thick she is.
This is what Jeremy Corbyn said in his interview about how staying in the EU single market could stop him implementing Labour policies. (See 9.41am.) When it was put to him that 66% of Labour members want to stay in the single market, he said he would listen to them. He also said he wanted tariff-free access to the single market. But he want on:
I would also say that we need to look very carefully at the terms of any trade relationship, because at the moment we are part of the single market, obviously. That has within it restrictions on state aid and state spending. That has pressures on it, through the European Union, to privatise rail, for example, and other services. I think we have to be quite careful about the powers we need as national governments.
Q: Some 66% of members want to stay in the single market. Will you listen to them?
Of course, says Corbyn.
He says a large amount of UK trade is with Europe. We need to protect that.
But he says he wants the government to be able to intervene in the economy in ways that might be blocked by Europe.
Q: Can you give an example?
Corbyn cites the steel industry, and proposals to save Redcar.
Some countries flout state aid rules. Others don’t.
I thought we were finally getting a coherent policy from them on this? This is the same have your cake and eat it approach of the Tories, with the old socialist hobby horses of Benn/Livingstone demanded. British politics.

Brexit is a disaster. A truly awful idea. Regardless of who was at the helm it would be tough, but it was a bad draw to wind up with someone as useless as her. It’s like Mary Hanafin or Pat Carey was in charge,

Soooooo … I will be meeting a Daily Mail reporter next week, married to a member of our family as it turns out.
Any questions worth asking?
How much do they have to drink to quell those dreams they once had of being a proper journalist?
On a scale of 1-oh fuck I want to kill myself, how do they feel every morning when they wake up and realise where they, and who they work for?

She’s shit but who’s better? Corbyn is a fucking clown too, he’d run the place into the ground
House prices falling in London. Inflation on the rise, business sentiment down, interest rates going up.
This Brexit is great craic altogether.
I recall a TFK poster concluding that Theresa May didn’t have a breeze back when the Daily Mail and TFK’s cabal of rural right wingers were celebrating her genius and steel. “The New Iron Lady”.

Yes I think that was me. I pointed out that she had a very mediocre degree from Oxford and one of the urban right wing cabal attacked me.
