Cracking me up it is....

A conditional extension, known as a Preparation, Ratification and Engagement Period (PREP), would not extend the negotiation period and could only be used if a deal has been reached between the UK and the EU.

Not an extension at all, no need to worry.


Brexit going well lads...? LOL

Doesnt matter M2, if your ask the 85% odd who returned the Toriez last time they will say 'strength & depth is the most important consideration'. Boris could have the rest of the year off it wouldn't matter.....its good that others are gaining valuable experience.
Raabi, Govey, Gavster, Richi, Shappsey, Steve Baker, Eustice & Redderz.....its like naming the 1st 11 at Man city (was gonna say Liverpool but they've not won anything for years).
This band of Tories work as a team they had to to deliver Brexit they are very well organised invincible, unstoppable even. With covid on the wain it wont be long until our focus is drawn to withdrawal negotiations. I'm expecting our boys to shine. C'mon u blues!

Mayor Khan – travelling safely?By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MAY 19, 2020In March the London Mayor told us travelling on buses and the tube did  not pose a threat of catching the virus. More recently he has supervised a major cut back in services and expressed worries about the safety of staff and passengers.The background to his astonishing U turn on public transport safety  is the fast deteriorating financial position of London Transport on his watch, which pre dated the collapse of revenues on lock down but worsened  when that happened. His early comments on the virus were probably motivated by the need to keep revenues up and to hit targets for more people using the tube and bus.  His lower fares policy left LT short of revenue to pay all the running costs and finance the improvements and expansions this growing business needed.He has now been forced into asking for a big bail out from central government and national taxpayers. Last week the Transport Secretary agreed a grant of £1.095 billion and a loan of £505m just  to see the Mayor through to October. In return the Mayor had to accept the need for a government review of the finances and efficiency of LT, and to two government representatives on the Board.Mr Shapps the Transport Secretary  now needs to sharpen up central analysis and supervision of this expensive state  business. The writer of the  official government release said this:"In order to reduce the risk of crowding and to encourage vulnerable groups to from using (sic) public transport at the busiest times when there is greater risk of transmission it may not be possible to socially distance, (sic) the deal will see the temporary suspension of the Freedom Pass and the 60+ card concessions to off peak hours. It will also see temporary suspension of free travel for under 18s and special arrangements will be made to ensure children eligible under national legislation can still travel to school for free. The changes will take place soon as (sic) practicable"There is immediate work to be done on how many services and what the rules are over the number of people allowed on each train and platform. It will also be complex to allow free travel to school but not for other junior journeys.The  new Board members need to examine the impact of Mayor Khan's fares policy on the finances of LT before the virus hit, and to help LT find the right fares policy to maximise permitted use and generate more revenue relative to costs. The whole structure of costs has just changed substantially with revenues much down for the next few weeks at least. They need to re-examine the whole business approach, with safety and costs in mind.

Tick tock.


When the enemy is killing itself you need do nothing.



Just watch like me, I've got the popcorn.

Johnson was in bed for 4 days last week a relapse , unbeknown to most. He’s toast. The 1922 will come knocking .

[minerve 2] 18/5/2020 23:22

Johnson got elected as the British public was not interested in policy, but slogans and the lowest common denominator. Sadly as a country we don't seem to engage in political detail and therefore allowed the kind of Government we have now. Johnson is a brand, a celebrity, and people relate to that. Corbyn (to some extent correctly) was cast as the bogeyman and would never win against such a celebrity politician.

In many respects, we get the Government we deserve. Had we been more engaged, our politics wouldn't be like this and we'd have a competent government, but we haven't and we've only got ourselves to blame.

History won't be kind to Johnson. History won't be kind to early 21st century Britain.

[minerve 2] 18/5/2020 23:21

Lets hope that the crisis and recession sweep this dreadful government into the past tense as soon as possible.

[minerve 2] 18/5/2020 23:20

He is in such a pickle because Covid-19 has exposed the myths and fallacies of his pro-Brexit campaign. Rather than evidencing that our country has proven, world beating capabilities, we have been exposed as having come up fundamentally short on a wide range of issues from an inadequate health service to overly bureaucratic logistic chains to incompetent ministers.
Unfortunately, Johnson has 1 play book. Tackle everything through the lens of “TAKE BACK CONTROL”! Except he has shown neither he, nor his ministers, have any idea how to control anything. How do you deliver on your Brexit rhetoric if you have so manifestly failed?

[minerve 2] 18/5/2020 23:16

Tick tick, the clock runs down and the mouse runs off to a holiday on sunny beach paid by a party donor.

it is obvious that taxes will have to rise to pay for all of this it just a question of who pays.

now we will pay twice , the cost of the virus and the cost of Brexit. One is a Financial shock and the other is a long term erosion of productivity cause by increasing in the cost of doing business with the EU and long term hit to gdp,

covid and no deal Brexit by themselves are bad together is a nightmare. I think Boris is hopping to hide the impact of Brexit by blaming covid for the depth of the down turn.

lets see how fast other countries recover compared to us time will tell

Complacency or panic. The Conservative party is often said to default to one of these two states.

Their leader is one of these chaps who spent his school and uni days goofing off classes and lectures, making no attempt to study til the night before the exam, then panic stations...

On to his journalistic career and we can imagine long days of relaxation, hours spent in bars with journalists and then a last minute dash to file copy ahead of the deadline...

One of the facts of having such a colourful and varied personal life is that it leaves very little time for actual work work.

Complacency then panic is a feature, not a bug; nay, it's hard-wired into the likes of Bozo for their whole life.

Wouldn't want to look like a girly-swot, would we? Reading your brief is for losers; did anyone expect he and his ilk would change the habits of a lifetime just because someone unwisely handed them the reins of government?

[minerve 2] 18/5/2020 23:00

"So 2% of gdp is inconsequential? OK got that."

Of course it isn't inconsequential when the country is run by a group of idiots and charlatans that have been voted in by the ignorant masses and you are clutching at every straw you can because you are committing economic suicide.

To intelligent folk who don't like to slit the throats of our suppliers and customers at the same time it's just a blip.
