Geoffrey Howe said, "It is rather like sending your opening batsmen to the crease only for them to find, the moment the first balls are bowled, that their bats have been broken before the game by the team captain."

This was exactly the position David Davies was put in. The old bag made it impossible for him to function.

Apparently all those who voted to stay in the EU will have to self isolate, and take brain altering drug treatment to help them get over it!!!

Alphorn, Teresa May's advisors that used to ponce about in dungarees & kicker boots like a fkin swiss on a sabbatical were all remainers, Hammond was a fkin EU plant, so was May, the whole damn government was. DD & Raab were put thrre to create the Brexit illusion & soon threw in the towel when they realised their efforts were being thwarted at a higher level. Well done Raab for driving through change, the government fell much to the disbelief of the EU. Just Whithall to clear out now.

Hopefully Q2 results day will prove to be the low point for a lot of companies.

Ut - so David Davis, as an example, was a arch Whitehall Remainer was he? A nutcase if there was ever one.

“Within minutes of a vote for Brexit the CEO’s will be knocking down Chancellor Merkel’s door demanding that there be no barriers to German access to the British market.”

"Davis also predicted that Britain would be already trading with new, exciting partners by 24 June 2018"


..........at least he got something right:
"I don’t have to be very clever, I don’t have to know that much......."

Rather sums you up as well Ut.

"it's only a matter of time before he gets a dangerous dog and a tattoo."

You mean like you?

Have a frontal lobotomy and end-up chopping branches for a living.

ROFLMAO!

(No thanks, it would 'do my head in')

Now talk in the papers of lockdown for those over 50....Is this just Headline Grabbing by the media or is the way out for The Government to lift lockdown as the people of this country rebel and tell The Government where to stuff their face coverings.STAND UP AND REBEL like they did in BERLIN which didn't receive much or very little media coverage her.

Absolutely, Alphorn. 01/01/21 will be wonderful. We can go back to pounds shillings and pence and bring back hanging.

Had a pork pie. Delicious. I'll have some alcohol later.

[minerve 2] 03/8/2020 12:32

I could have told the clown that months ago!

[maxk] 03/8/2020 12:12

I've had my doubts for some time Alp.


But surely there must be someone in the government with half an ounce of common sense?

[alphorn] 03/8/2020 11:43

max - I am just amazed that so many people still believe in No 10's utterings.

The gardens of Eden will open on 01/01/21 and everyone will be happy. Just be careful what you eat.

[minerve 2] 03/8/2020 11:42

"all day long drinking alcohol and eating pies, you are not in a good place."

Sounds like a good idea. I have some mini pork pies in the fridge.
