EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

I'm assuming Fast Stream recruitment from a Consultancy, moving quickly enough between previous secondments/assignments that he was 'never there', when blame was being doled out for non/underperformance or late/over budget.
Took on current role on the basis there were no budget restrictions,
(Look at the money Grayling wasted on non-existent ferries).
As we inch closer to some form of dePeffel-induced disaster,
there are many fewer opportunities to embarass MPs,
(turning Kent motorways into lorry parks),
so back into 'Business' with a hatful of contacts,
and the inside line on some future privatisations,
(pay-per-mile Motoways?, pay-per-litre potable water?,
pay-per-lesson for 16-18 education?)

I passed the JD onto one of my old bosses, who is just that sort of person. More for a laugh than anything. If I remember correctly, they were paying about 25% her salary expectations for a project like that.

Yeah, well done to the Brexit Party

^ Everyone else in the room should have legged-it during the anthem. Very quietly.

And let off a stink bomb, as they were leaving.

Quite a petty display and maybe quite ironic(?), given the reaction by those propping up their leader to any protest in the form of a show of deference for the US anthem.

Extreme case of playing to their own gallery here.

Taking the MEP money/turning their backs to "show" the EU are a bunch of suckers for their own supporters, even though that disproves the EU is some form of dictatorship as it clearly allows politicians in there that are critical of it on equal terms.

Bingo

even though that disproves the EU is some form of dictatorship

Because in a dictatorship, people shout down those with differing views as traitors. Oh, hang on...

wonder what a venn diagram of arseholes doing this and arseholes that got salty when a hand-egg player knelt looks like...

It probably looks like a massive arsehole

On a square plate

monster.

The backstop bites again.

"Alternative arrangements are ways of maintaining a soft border without regulatory alignment between the UK and the EU."

Again, even though it has already been explain ad nauseum to be really complex due to the rich rule package/trade and services options the UK has being in the EU.

Is it future...or is it past.

A circle.

Britain First or some other pasty, shouty group is having a gammonfest out front of the Old Bailey.

Beautiful day, they'll all be Lobsters soon.

From memory, today might be the first day of Tommy Robinson's retrial for contempt. Think it was scheduled for early july...

Yep, lots of those shirts and Trump stuff, US flags.

And a single "I <3 global warning" tshirt

Life threatening levels of cringe

Amazingly tone deaf even for her, evoking images of slavery, colonies, oppressors, etc... that was all us!

The Great Britain has risen against the Great Britain, one of the biggest oppressors of all time. I thought that's what brexit was all about.

Not completely all - fairly sure that the rest of Europe involved itself quite happily in all of these practices also along the way. "Look at all the really shitty stuff we all did together!"

Indeed. Belgium had a fairly brutal reputation for their practices on Congolese rubber plantations.

Not to suggest one is worse than the other. We were all horrible cunts back then. A bit like now them, but less violence.

Honestly, British people can congratulate themselves as never being as bad a Belgium in Africa.
