"
EU WILL LOSE: Britain heading for ‘fantastic’ future as UK WON'T make Brexit concessions
BRITAIN is heading for a “fantastic” future of prosperity and opportunity outside the EU, David Davis has said today in an exclusive interview to mark two years since the historic EU referendum vote."

As if that wasn't silly enough they had to top it with this

"
BREXIT SHOCK: May is prepared to WALK AWAY and leave EU severly damaged, reveals Fox
BRUSSELS would be foolish to think Theresa May is bluffing about being prepared to walk away from Brexit talks without a deal, Liam Fox has insisted."

Well, thank you for the Humour......

BREXIT SHOCK: May is prepared to WALK AWAY and leave EU severly damaged, reveals Fox
I noticed the frequent spelling mistakes, the liberal use of block capitals etc in the DE - this one seems to be written by the same bunch of .. (you fill in the rest).

on this first anniversary of brexit:

Johnson: No bog roll brexit
Davis: our fantastic future out of EU... and we can leave without a deal
Fox: EU will be severely damaged because we'll walk away

What have they been doing in the last year? They have just found out that there isn't yet a thing that the EU would like to trade on.

the cleverest brexiteer seems to be Michael Gove.
He has conspicuously kept his head down.

And a generation or two
This morning from the Guardian
"
Trump flips on North Korea, declaring country still an 'extraordinary threat'
President extended the ‘national emergency’ for one year in an executive order, re-authorizing economic restrictions"

Does that constitute a vote of confidence?
.. there was on moment of truth, in one of those interviews after he had come back from NK ,. A reporter had asked him the standard type questions of why are you cosying up to a known dictator etc, and his reply was actually clear..." I am doing this for you, so you and your family are not incinerated "

it's early days, give them a bit of time and space.
Given the rest of time and the whole of space itself, North Korea will still not give up nuclear weapons in exchange for the USA just removing the threat of them from South Korea.

Weird they might be, but daft they aren't.

This comment was posted on the Independent today:

"Liam, you run along and tell everyone, I'm a very difficult woman and I'm not bluffing. They will all be scared out of their wits and I will deliver the People's Brexit. Run Liam, run."

Lying blighter!
What an excuse for wanting praise as desperately as he does
There was no danger of North Korea incinerating anyone but themselves, but the idiotic US President still remains a danger to everyone of causing a nuclear conflict with his infantile macho attitude and erratic outbursts.

that was the high point of UKIP two years ago today.
What has the UK achieved since?
Proved that you can fool some of the people all of the time?
And the leave campaigners liars, cheats and incompetent.
Pretty much as expected

Surely the Express has got it right? Is fantastic not the correct adjective to describe fantasy?.
