i tell you whats not fun.

the story I'm working on for te six today.

The blood scandal.

Heartbreaking
I’ve just watched a news article concerning contaminated Factor 8 blood products. It was a terrible story of unbearable loss and heartbreak, but if true, the fact that the government and drug companies knew that the product was contaminated defies belief. Why would they continue to supply it whilst knowing the risks?

Well thats what the inquiry wants to find out.

Back on topic. The Irish Budget was presented today and includes a 1.2billion euro Brexit fund. This is money we would prefer not spending, and is to ensure industry does not suffer unduly. In UK terms that would be an operational fund..not infrastructure of 15 to 20 ,billion . Has your Parliament committed that?.

My post on Positions of responsibility suggests an answer.

From the Guardian today
"
Overnight, a government adviser – step forward Classic Dom – had leaked that the Brexit negotiations were dead in the water, we were heading for no deal and the UK would seek to punish any EU country that granted an article 50 extension.

Then another No 10 spokesman leaked a sketchy version of a phone call between Boris Johnson and Angela Merkel in which all the blame for the failure of negotiations was attributed to the German refusal to compromise. Government by unattributable quotes, with all eyes firmly focused on an imminent election rather than a Brexit deal."

What will these cretins try next?
Well leave Eu did this

I would very much prefer you not use the word "cretins" in that way.

The rest of what you posted, I heartily endorse.

We didn't win two world wars to be pushed around by a jumped up failed Russian airline operator.

Congratulations on your memory, but according to the Wilki, that Georgian Diplomat had not returned home before DI was Revoked, by his home Government
The Russians waived DI and allowed his extradition.???
Our problem at moment is Theresa May's refusal to extradite McKinnon. Alledgedly he, d hacked US defence sites. At time I agreed with May stepping in but you an bet Trump will bring it up if we ask for the lady to come back.
DI shouldnt protect anyone from this type of crime/investigation. I agree, she was probably ordered to leave but that doesnt make it moral.
Josh Ackland still got his come upence from Mel in Lethal Weapon. Perhaps Trump might be more influenced by that.

Ok, Georgia waived his DI, not Russia.
You need a new Wiki Danidl.

But it works. Ive a brother in law, a gp, who voted for brexit. Who would get a bizarre jingoistic stirring out of that ****. I treat him like an educated lab rat, trying to fathom what would change his mind. So far, nothing. He has the reflective capacity of a rabid chihuahua. The novel 'we need to talk about Kevin' comes to mind, except we have 17 million kevins
