In the news

The whole thing is brilliant.
You can get a mansion for £1m, where do I sign?
As for Croissants aren't they more 80's liberal??

Excellent internet value!

Who will have a flutter on May gone by end of day tomorrow?

It took a month to get rid of IDS after his weak conference speech, it's just not that fast.

I'd say 'unfortunately' but realistically all the potential replacements are worse. That's bad for the party though.

you can't get a 3 bedroom flat above a ladbrokes in hackney for a million squids. still - at least he didn't mention cappuccinos - the usual go to signifier of liberal middle class elitism by people that still own vhs video recorders.

I found this a perfect response to this liberal elite nonsense

Perhaps everyone should start watching Arte (it's free) it's culturally middleclass af (in UK terms) and start trolling the shite out of these "you gotta be loaded to be liberal or whatever" types ;)

Being a Lord does make these kind of statements a little awkward (although he was Dave until recently).

That is the view of a large number of traditional labour voters though. If you're in a £50k 2-up 2-down you're going to view someone living in a £1m house in Islington as pretty well off.

Even though for £1million you're going to struggle to get a 2 up 2 down in islington...

I think since they started serving continentals* in Holiday Inns.

Sourdough on the other hand ... Watt's is just a bit out of touch.

Edit: *breakfasts, not forrins.

Average house price on our street in SE is over that. Despite the price of ours.

yeah. Apparently ISIS don't stake claim when someone can't be traced back to them. I believe it's more that people will find a way to trace an attack to ISIS rather than them actually being involved.

I wish I could be like David Watts

Surely not

Would an option be to have the hard border on goods on land and the hard border on people in the sea?
You’d need some kind of personal or local business allowance but it would still prevent large scale smuggling etc.

So neither goods nor people cross either border freely if the goods are being carried by people?

I wonder if you'll need to get a temporary import permit for your car if you are commuting from NI to I/vice versa.

One down one to go.
Must say last day or so has reduced my confidence in the second, I still think that'd be too soon.

So where and when?

People and their personal possessions cross land border freely, imported goods have already been checked when they reach sea border.

You won, so you get to choose - happy to meet at your selected location and provide the coffee of your choice.

I'm actually feeling that it's going to be further out than November now - I think that May is going to stay until she triggers the A50 revocation, and we'll likely need to see the banks execute their contingency plans and move to the Continent before she can sell that to the Leave voters, then resign/trigger the next election cycle.

However, nothing is certain - if we get a "that's it, we're walking!" this week then everything happens on a highly accelerated schedule.

So many questions. But I'll save them!

I'll PM you

JRM and Simon Pegg surley.

In other news. Cyclists Kill or Mame 2 Peds per week now apparently. Not 1 death every 5 years.

Apologies for the source.

However, the Department of Transport Data did not say who was to blame

I'm surprised they included that.

@teenslain and @Aroogah

I haven't had that much hair since the 80s ended. So. Fair cop.

Comments section horrendous as usual...
