EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

JRM is playing to the gallery while no doubt making hay of this with his investment funds.

So more a bandit rather than stupid. He's gaining something from it, the truth loses. But then this is Brexit.

What a shite, clichéd term of abuse.

Get fucked.

(Nippy enough for you?)

What a shite, clichéd term of abuse.

I wouldn't bother-Andy has extensive form of this kind of casual bigotry when it suits one day and white knighting over different shades of bigotry the next when that suits him too.

Let them get their confused little englander's brexit out the way so they can return to just kicking their closest neighbours any time they need to feel oh so strong and mighty again... with any luck they'll awake one day to be a union of one.

It’s hard not to respond with anything other than the expected knee-jerk “Wee Highlander” response to this kind of utter keech. I know he has previous; it’s just depressing that “Sweaties” and “Jocks” are tossed around with such gay (ooh-er!) abandon that us otherwise rational Scots folk “on here” feel we have to call him out for doing so. GIRFUY, as they/we say.

The point was, however clumsily made, that Scotland gets not a single mention in 585 pages on our future relationship with the EU. There’s deemed to be nothing worth mentioning about how Westminster and the Scottish Parliament work together on this, despite devolution.

Does that seem fair to you? Especially when a large majority of Scots voted to remain.

Called it.

I was today years old when I learned that sweaties even existed as a term to describe the Scottish let alone that its derogatory. Is that a northern phrase? (suggesting northern because im southern)

I've heard of Jocks but Im a simple sheltered being.

So there still have to be some goods checks in NI even with the backstop. Hmmm ok... with which infrastructure?

The infrastructure they said absolutely would not be put in place. Along with unicorn-mounted PSNI and somesuch.

Tis classic cockney slang.

For more Scotland Brexit shenanigans, Scot Tories are not best pleased that the Fishing Industry won't be guaranteed all of their waters back.

Although, call me cynical, but part of me thinks they are chasing this because the SNP would rather stay in the CFP!

Dominic Raab first to go . . . .
. . . . hope he is not planning to go through Dover on his holidays.

Yeah, this sounds like the start of number, its going to be an interesting morning. A bit like a slow motion car crash .

Wells Fargo has asked a court to block a shareholder lawsuit that seeks to punish the company for lying when it promised to promptly and completely disclose any new scandals; Wells Fargo claims that the promise was obvious "puffery," a legal concept the FTC has allowed to develop in which companies can be excused for making false claims if it should be obvious that they are lying (as when a company promises that they make "the best-tasting juice in America).

hang on, wasnt he brexit minister?

Which gif best expresses running around saying"we're fucked"?

He fucking negotiated the deal, how can he resign over it?

Weapons grade moron.

Both him and Davis. Scarcely believable.

It's either an admission of incompetence, impotence or that he's deliberately torpedoed it in hope of no deal.

High speed camera footage of shit hitting a fan? ;)

That, but then there's also this 360 degrees circular motion of the camera circling around the fan as shit is hitting it. It's very fancy.

Thon Gobshite foghorn of Sammy Wilson or King of Gammon Jim Allister will no doubt step in.

(the TUV makes the DUP look reasonable)

Well, the infrastructure should not be on the border, that is is done elsewhere was always discussed. But you still need HMRC checks, a registration system, random checks etc... so backstop 4evah then unless the constantly failing government IT projects can suddenly deliver.
