Comment I liked on the BBC's Radio 4 news at midday in answer to the question, "Where does this leave Theresa May". Answer given:
Still in charge but Weak and Stable.

Possibility of Poland doing a POEXIT,Poland quitting the EU over the row about the EU interfering in Polands judges.
That one would be interesting to sort out the borders...Poland neighbors Germany,Czech Republic,Slovakia,Ukraine in the EU and Kalinagrad an enclave of Russia....the latter ideal as a smuggling base.
Hehe!!!!!

The complications could be interesting. Ukraine isn't in the EU by the way, there's an association agreement between the two, but it falls far short of membership.

Brought to mind some poll findings on religious belief that I very recently heard.
Apparently 9% of those who say they are not religious said they do believe in the resurrrection of Jesus Christ.
And even more astonishingly 25% said they believe in the existence of angels.
Where can that leave the status and value of a referendum?
.
Translated into common sense, I should think the EU will address the Polish delegates with the message, 'Point made and protest noted, now back to normal dialogue.'

I'm sure you must have noticed 'flecc', as I do every time I'm out and about but particularly in department stores and supermarkets, there are some people who really shouldn't be allowed outside the house unescorted. I'm sure some of those figure in the findings of that poll!
Tom
Interesting possibility.
If Poland leaves the EU, would the UK offer Poles unconditional FOM?

No they will be helping Austria and Hungary reform the Empire. Everyone will dress in black and walk in goose step to the border with Ukraine where they will shoot at refugees until the refugees find a safer route...
We probably would, partly due to our past associations with Poland, WW2 for example, and partly because with freedom of movement the Poles have not been an economic problem to us, more a considerable benefit.

Word on the street has it that Damian Green resigned to avoid other serious allegations of a predatory nature coming to light. It seems many people had misgivings about his conduct but felt powerless to challenge him due to his proximity with the PM and senior figures both in his party and within his social circle.

Given the lies that this government have told since coming to office and their desire to railroad their own version of 'Brexit' through without parliamentary oversight and approval, (thankfully thwarted), everyone should view this little bombshell with the gravest reservations:

The late George Carlin, a very insightful man, comedian and social commentator, had this to say about homelessness in America but the message is exactly the same for tory Britain:

Equivalent of the Bride having an attack of Flatulence at the Altar as the Vicar says do you take this man?
Theresa May has said 'A line should be drawn' under this matter! So, somehow, there are certain times and occasions when it's ok, just fine - normal, to behave inappropriately and use lewd language towards a woman in the workplace?
May has been wrong in her judgement so many times in her short term of office that she should be replaced. It really isn't good enough for a Prime Minister to fail to condemn such behaviour as exhibited and admitted by Mark Garnier and allow him to remain as International Trade Minister.
I can understand May's desire for these matters to simply disappear but she is the leader of the party in government and she should be absolutely firm in all such matters of abuse of position. There is simply no room for anything less than the highest standards from people paid by the taxpayer to represent the interests of decent people.

I remember confusing one of the "Sky Fairy " followers that approached me with the Question.
"Do you believe in God?"
I answered "I'm an Atheist, thank god," smiled, making the sign of Spectacles , Testicles, Wallet and watch.
Do you remember the lying, cheating, despicable, self-aggrandising tory scum tory pro-'Brexit' advocates telling the nation that we don't need expert opinion - we have had enough of experts and the like?
Well, maybe they got that wrong - they got everything else wrong and they are still deliberately lying to the nation - so perhaps a re-think is in order, particularly as we can't argue with the stark facts that have emerged since they told us about experts:

I think you've hit on the nub of the problem there.
