I disagree and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels embarrassed and shamed that queen Catherine isn't wearing a full burka to show respect to her hosts.
So when they visit New Zealand, should Will-I-Am wear a jewel encrusted jock-strap and have the cheeks of his arse tattooed? The man is a complete toss-pot swanning around in those robes. He needs to take control of him.

Not tattooed. Nothing permanent.

That's just daft.

I can't the DUP is going to accept this:

“Northern Ireland would de jure be in the UK’s customs territory but de facto in the European Union’s.”

On top of this, Bojo will have to get his deal through parliament this Saturday. There is only one way this can happen: second referendum.

A confirmatory referendum has been the only way forward since Johnson came in.

That's why wee Nicky Sturgy was so excited yesterday.She knows she will get her second ref late next year or early 2021 once the EU get theirs.

Although interestingly once we vote to stay in a massive part of her strategy to win is taken away.

And furthermore the scots will see how hard leaving a union actually is.

Was fun whilst it lasted and it might still be good for a few giggles yet.

Brexit!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't be too sure. Some more knighthoods for the remaining nine of the ten DUP MPs without a knighthood, plus some promises of Boris's largesse one he's in office as PM after Brexit could do the trick.

We already know they can be bought.

How many pages are there to wade through?
It's 300 pages, but the following may be sufficient:

"Tété-Michel Kpomassie was a teenager in Togo when he discovered a book about Greenland--and knew that he must go there. Working his way north over nearly a decade, Kpomassie finally arrived in the country of his dreams. This brilliantly observed and superbly entertaining record of his adventures among the Inuit is a testament both to the wonderful strangeness of the human species and to the surprising sympathies that bind us all. "

I have no idea what an Orange Man is. Is it a person who’s had a spray on suntan? A bit like that celebrity antiques dealer bloke?
If only. No. It is a person who attends meetings of the Loyal Orange Order, at tgeir lodges, where they can relive the Glorious Revolution of 1688 , when a coup d'etat, overthrew the legal King of England, and replaced him with a princeling from Holland. It was a good bargain as far as the London merchants were concerned ,as it brought them the slave traffic and sugar plantations of the Caribbean. They have branches in NI, Scotland and Canada.

What a wonderful story. How fascinating. Has it been turned into a film yet?

I think it’s an unnecessary demonstration of difference and division. Why don’t people just wear their usual clothes no matter where they are in the world. There is no need to dress up in the local gear when you visit different country. It’s foolish.
No. It's not 'foolish'. It's called showing some respect.

As you were.

Isn't Boris doing well here's the latest at 6:00 PM
"
Boris Johnson news – live: DUP dismisses Brexit breakthrough 'nonsense' as government braces for humiliating extension request letter

Apparently the latest Bung has failed ,surely the time is right for Boris to do something approaching sensible?
Such as tell the DUP to go away making short jerky movements?
It's not as if they matter any more.
