Filip Sijak12 Jun 2020 11:56AM@IAN HAY People can die from many things, and Covid is just one of them. Not sure at what point did the world leaders think that we can become immortal. Yeah, older people will die from Covid, but at the age of 70-80 or whatever the average Covid death is, you would expect something like this to happen even without this virus

Well, they say you get the government you deserve. Well good luck with your Brexit, you are certainly going to need some. If the government's handling of COVID and these BLM protests is anything to go by this is going to be great entertainment. Thankfully, the greatest percentage of my earnings is offshore. I'm not going to suffer by the morons' experiment, you are!

The Little Englanders are about to learn how little they are.

There will not be an extension to the Brexit transition period, the European Commission said on Friday, before warning Britain it must now get ready to police the border in the Irish Sea.

Michael Gove told Maros Sefcovic, a commission vice-president, that Britain would not ask for a delay to the period beyond the end of the year in a meeting of the joint committee on the implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement.

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster "couldn't be clearer" in his formal notice to the commission, Mr Sefcovic told reporters in Brussels, "he explained this was the promise that was given to the British citizens in the electoral campaign".

"[He] was very clear, unequivocal on the fact that the UK is not going to seek the extension and because this was the last joint committee before the deadline expires we take this decision as a definitive one," said Mr...

Like the old Fiat 124 saloon and 128 saloon

Very different to the 124 sport which is now a collectors car. So much so they (Fiat), decided to bring back a new version of the 124 sport :)

Agreed Poikka. The government's made a total balls of law and order and it's not done all that well with the virus, but it's good news that it won't go back on the democratic decision to leave.

[minerve 2] 12/6/2020 17:16

Slightly hilarious that "we'll take back control of our borders" by French customs cutting us off from the Continent...

I thought we were supposed to be doing the controlling..

LOL!

Economic independence" with a 20% GDP drawdown in April with people who cannot implement a purchasing strategy for PPE, inability to implement custom checks (using covid as an excuse). Good luck and the mess has just been front-loaded in any event for all the parties.

Feeling good.

"(Alliance News) - The British government on Friday said it had officially told the EU it would not seek an extension to the post-Brexit transition period beyond December 31.

"I formally confirmed the UK will not extend the transition period & the moment for extension has now passed," senior UK minister Michael Gove tweeted after a meeting with EU leaders."

Min2 is clearly a self loathing white privileged leftie female, or a foreigner.
Only those two groups detest Britain and all she stood for,and still does.

Who cares though?

World leading death rates

World leading drop in GDP

World leading destruction of industry

We about even and Barclays up. Maybe some miss understood that fine imposed but doubt it. Have a good weekend all, see how we do next week.

The UK has left the EU. The Brexiters are the ones unable to move on from that fact. Failing to extend transition arrangements until pragmatic, workable solutions for all of us in the UK are in place is madness. These rules will govern UK life for decades to come. If a deal was agreed tomorrow there would be insufficient time to prepare.

Asking people and business to prepare when they don't know what to prepare for is idiocy, asking them to do so when the devastation of covid is still being realised through is criminal negligence.

[minerve 2] 12/6/2020 16:49

So so glad I no longer have to run a business under these clowns.

[minerve 2] 12/6/2020 16:43

There is no longer any doubt whatsoever that the UK government consists of a troupe of reckless hard Brexiter baboons. The UK's downhill path has just become steeper.

Thanks for the heads-up Gove.
