Boris has been tweeting again

The British economic establishment always gets it wrong. Wrong about joining the ERM, wrong about leaving it, wrong about joining the Euro, wrong about Project Fear after the referendum. They can't forecast six months out - why should we believe them over 15 years?

Well done Boris.so now you think we should have joined the Euro do you?
Just been reading the tweets to Boris on that page

Someone else making a fair point is Graham Norton giving forth with his view on paying one's taxes:

Fundamentally agree.

The one thing that has really undermined my willingness to pay what I owe has been those who conspire to pay nowt, or nearly so. How can any of us feel bad about "getting away" with a few quid in the context of others getting away with millions?

(The other factor is when taxes have been implemented in ways which are fundamentally unfair.)

Yes - I do pay my full taxes - but less willingly than in a fairer system.

Completely off topic.
That's never bothered you in the past, has it ?
for example

Get back to Co op OG...

And the entire comment presumably a rather weak attempt at satire

"here's a snippet from it

I, d guess OG is biggest single contributor, assume perhaps a 50 word average for each of his wise offerings... and assume he, s made 1 in 10 posts.. (both minimums).... He is easily at 200,000 words. That's a fair length novel.. JK Rowling was a millionaire on fewer words,and reached a world wide audience.
OG has written by my assessment between 1 and 2 novels.. and reached perhaps 100 readers.
Start a book OG...

But remember, when you are trying to reach an audience on a Daily Basis, the only sure way is to be a regular contributor, as few read anything beyond the latest page.

Off topic click bait with no facts included like yours, delivered occasionally as your mood darkens leaves a lasting impression on readers that a Brick does thirty seconds after being tossed into a pond.

As do the mutterings and attempts to disrupt the thread of the Wannabee Cecil B.Demille the cat seems to have dragged in from somewhere.

It's a pleasure to watch the pair of you struggle as you do, and great for the thread ratings that without payment, you provide a comedy element.

Another header in the Telegraph
There appears to be trouble in Brexit land when they start doing this sort of thing to each other
"
There's no 'Backstop Bridget' to save this Remainer Brexit deal from oblivion

Remaining in EU membership is what "Remainers want, and nothing whatever to do with these petty leave camp squabbles

And here is the long forecast "Big sell" from the Daily Mail





Bored or reamed? that's apparently the price of Blue Passports
And as an added Bonus it's under a Conservative Government too!
