EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

I'd be more motivated to do so if quality of manufacturing was something the UK was known for.

Oh man I'd forgotten about that :D I need to re-watch that show. This kind of thing is where the real quality is in the UK!

I think the PSNI should lend they water cannons here to the Gardai in ROI, then when shit goes down tweet BoJo "sorry lads, can't get them back over the border and they are way to big to pack under a bus seat"

What the hell is this sudden tour of the UK by the ministers about?

Today the business minister Claire Perry visited a clotted cream factory, where she told the confectioners (creamists?) that she hadn't known that clotted cream was such a successful export.

Perhaps it might just have been a good idea to arm yourself with that fact before becoming business minister in a government executing Brexit, but maybe that's just me. Anyway, it's good to know that we'll have plenty of clotted cream to go with the promised six months of jams*.

The thinking apparently is that this little roadshow can convince the public that May's deal is a goodun, then they will lobby their MPs in time for the vote. This is of course - if you know the slightest bit about campaigns and influencing - absolutely impossible, especially by next Tuesday.

Heseltine just told PM he thinks Number 10 just wants the ministers out of their hair, which is the best theory I've heard so far.

Where does the milk come from, to make the clotted cream?

Given that the PM is insistent that the people will not have another say in the deal, I can only assume that they are considering the possibility of a general election.

The Tories also seem to be busy visiting foodbanks with the requisite photo opportunities and then posting almost identical tweets:

From clotted cows obvs.

Cows.

Talking of which, what fucking planet is Prithi Patel from? Threatening a blockade of Ireland so they starve?

How do cunts like her get elected?

From clotted cows obvs.

But not from vaches coagulées anymore

Apparently Ireland is one of the most secure countries in the world for food supply - they produce way in excess of 100% if what they need. But, you know, facts etc

^^Enjoy your bi-lingual virtue signalling while you still can, yankee boy.

Cows.

Would they be Irish cows, by any chance?

Ironic, coming from a nationalist.

'countries like Africa'
I'm so old, when I was at school, Africa was an entire continent.

Doubtful. Clotted cream comes from Devon cows.

No, they're not that far away.

The way I read the article, the (four Scottish Tory) MPs in question didn't actually visit the food banks but charity collection points in branches of Tesco's.

Ahem!

This suggests an education and life experience similar to Dominic Raab.
Someone should let her know that Irish ferry ports can accept roro ferries from anywhere,
and,
either Irish Ferries or Britanny Ferries are proposing a year-round link between Ireland and France/Brittany.

(Someone should also educate her about the Irish Famine).

She really is an example of a miscreant MP, who far from being allowed to resign should have been sacked, and forced to stand down as an MP.

May is really keen on taking away people's rights, so this kind of thing just keeps coming back in various guises:

Even to propose that is fucking nuts, but saying it to/about Ireland???
