Logic?? !!...they wouldn`t have a clue
Always something thats been in short supply `across the water` for centuries

And in the place of this logic and common sense you have..
Arrogance
Self-importance
an overbearing, loud-mouthed, know-it-all shower who continually claim to know everything about anything,
most prevalent in the `home counties` in particular, less so as you travel north

The World Wars and the `66 World Cup only added to this

Any wonder they`re not liked around the world

But Hey!, you knew this already ;)
Tommie, saying" across the water " is very reconciliatory, I would have assumed you would refer to them others as being " on the mainland". .. Many of my Northern friends use that term,

Corbyn is obvious where his priority was in his shadow cabinet, militantism above competency.
Those on the 'new labour' wing did not get a look in.
No not militantism, just simply being genuine Labour and not the pseudo Tory of "New Labour". They were even worse than the current Tory government at driving us into ever increasing debt with no investment benefit attached.

How sad that you democratic unionists did not apply some of your supposed logic and commonsense to the subject of Brexit. Or even accepted the democratic will of your electorate on that subject.
.
Flecc, they may even be more canny than the Scots. They might well end up with the very best of both UK and EU offers. .Linked to Ireland and the EU for food standards, and the UK as a market to sell into.

Yes, typical. Putting self before their supposely sacrosanct single union.

But judging from the current impasse between the UK and the EU in the negotiations, they and indeed we may end up with nothing.

That bloke who looks like he’s had his head shoved into the lavatory pan and the chain pulled is fronting the Coronavirus show tonight, not Boris Johnson. That is a scandalous level of contempt for the public.

Still, I am anxious to know how the installation of those new points and switching gear at Leeds railway station is coming on. Perhaps we’ll also get an update on the widening of the B6042 between Shitsville and Whogivesafuck too. Bollicks to all that Coronavirus shite, why would you talk about that at a Coronavirus briefing?

Because the public are fed up to the back teeth with the coronavirus subject?

There are points to talking about railways.
.
I don't think they are fed up with it. I think there is a sense that it's gone away, that we have had it now and come through. I hope that is the case, but I'm sceptical.

I think you`ll find the `idiot fringe` reside in a Hull backwater, have an unhealthy aversion to gentlemens toilets, all under the guise of an ArmitageShanks employee

If anyone needs `cured` on here it`s our resident ToiletBoy!

:D
Actually tommie, I was never never an employee of Armitage Shanks, I worked for the company that bought them out.
And since I was involved in the design of sanitaryware, for both sexes, I could hardly have an aversion to it, could I
Really you should get a grown up to post for you.

How are things going out there in your tiny province of the EU ?.
Have you merged with your bigger neighbour yet? :cool:

This latest stunt by Cummings engineering a fuss over his flights of fancy to free Boris from having to take responsibility for the deaths coming from ending the lockdown is a master stroke.
The Tory paymasters must be delighted end of lockdown no backlash and Cummings gets off Scot free.
Everyone back to work
Nothing to see here move along

Hopefully at tonight's briefing they'll cover leccy scooters and pedelecs and bring in flecc as the guest expert...

On that note this video maker reminds me of flecc's mindful driving style ;-)
Yes, good considerate driving, keeping the car in it's subordinate place. I'm in South London though, we don't have a Jewish enclave like that one.

I wouldn't take part in an e-scooter briefing though, there's no way they can fit safely into our UK transport environment at present.

Why was the Cummings loophole that came early in the lockdown not more widely broadcasted to benefit others subsequently?
