On the subject of the England World Cop win, it seems Fingers has a very unlikely ally

"Jacob Rees-Mogg has tweeted the Cricket World Cup Final victory of an England team captained by a Dubliner shows "we clearly don't need Europe to win".

You couldn't make this class of comedy up, you need real idiots to do that using natural talent.

The notion that they strike "Fear" into anyone tells you what they are, a bunch of nut cases that overestimates their own importance, and thinks bullying while being handsomely paid to do a job of work is a legitimate way to act.
they strike fear in many of us.
fear for our collective reputation of pragmatism, short, sharp, to the point, cool and collectedness, level headedness and openmindedness.

Liam Fox wants to train school leavers to be UK trade negotiators.

If it takes that long to get them ready (about 5-7 years of university + 4 years in training in the civil service), brexit will have been cancelled before they are ready.

Too late! all we can feel now is dismay at what their popularity reveals about a large segment of the population.

Perhaps in the post Brexit world of neat deals and trading opportunities, it would be preferable to be world cup standard in something more useful than hitting a ball with a stick.

Perhaps the intention is to make a better deal when rejoining the EU?.

They are a dying breed though. Most Brexit party supporters are old folk.
or their dying wish?
They should have voted for Hunt, he may be slow at the starting line but would get there more quickly.
On the other hand, BJ may die on the 1st of November, they can always try another who promises do or die.

"
Brexit Party threatens Strasbourg chaos in EU takedown 'can you smell Verhofstadt's fear?'
THE Brexit Party have threatened to wreak havoc in Strasbourg today as they warn EU bosses they will not "relent" until Britain has left the Union."

lets look at this logically; they are only 4 more in number than the last time
Just 4
Last time they achieved nothing at all.
This time they will achieve nothing at all.

because of what they do
Nothing at all except make a fuss

But they do manage to con the simple minded voters for this one man business startup that they do the opposite, and the right wing press promotes this lie.

The notion that they strike "Fear" into anyone tells you what they are, a bunch of nut cases that overestimates their own importance, and thinks bullying while being handsomely paid to do a job of work is a legitimate way to act.
And I thought Project Fear was a remainer invention?

i tell it much better than this and use tomato soup instead strudel but i cant be bothered to type it out so its a Gerald cut and paste special

A British couple decided to adopt a German baby. They raised him for years, however they began to get worried because he never spoke, and they believed that he was mentally handicapped, going as far as to take him to therapy, which was fruitless. Then, when the child was 8 years old, he had a Strudle, and said "It is a little tepid."
His parents, of course shocked that he was suddenly speaking, asked: "Wolfgang, why have you never spoken before?", to which the child replied: "Up until now, everything had been satisfactory."

By East Germans no doubt.

Reminds me of the most popular jokes in the former USSR, like this one:

"Why do KGB men go around in threes?

One can read, one can write and the third one is there to keep an eye on the two dangerous intellectuals."

For the Education of all a pictorial explanation of the principle of
"Taking back Control"



In many ways Scotland's fate has become that of the entire United Kingdom.

Bought and sold for American Gold
What a parcel of rogues for a nation.

Apologies to RB

I am somewhat perplexed.. why would Mr RM have wanted Europe to win a world cup in Cricket,when there was an English team playing?. So he was stating the obvious,I have heard of the legendary British sense of fair play, but that would have been ridiculous

Who is RB and why are you saying sorry to him/her?
Because with Brexit one of his sayings is about to come true and we can't stop it

The best laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft a-gley, An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain For promis'd joy.
