Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
Ah, yes, the british electorate. That esteemed bunch of observers who support the justice secretary when he says he would resign "if the uk broke the law 'in ways he found unacceptable'". If they were a jury and saville were alive they'd probably elect him as the next prime minister.Now the young are getting a slagging
Interesting thread here
Birmingham's up to 90, solihull 68 per 1000. The sun claims people from Bolton wont be allowed to neighbouring area's pubs. The idea of that being enforced (I went to a pub in the shires today where no contact details were taken and me and two friends sat, socially distanced, amidst a throng of unmasked punters milling around until we decided to leave) is as hilarious as most of boris/cummings other epiphanies
As you know, I like simple things, so I’ve simplified the government’s complex, contradictory and poorly thought out advice. Complex things make my brain hurt.
My rule of thumb is, “if a cash register is involved, it’s probably ok. If it doesn’t make money, you probably can’t do it.“
Seems to work if applied to most of their crap.
You would have to explain that to me ..I haven't a clue what that is!.
I think it's got something to do with dropping a bar of soap in a prison shower 
Another own goal for the government

The bad-faith EU is furious that the UK now has a backstop of its own
Nixk Timothy
The PM is offering Brussels a choice: negotiate fairly, or the whole country will leave without a deal
Bad Faith? from the side that reneges on a treaty and dispenses with the Law?

SNP’s shameless plot to block Boris: Ian Blackford launches bid to WRECK Brexit masterplan
NICOLA STURGEON'S SNP is plotting to block Boris Johnson's Brexit plans amid claims new legislation aimed at breaking deadlocked EU trade talks could leave Scotland's NHS and water supplies open to privatisation.
What is the "Brexit Masterplan"?
Anyone care to offer an explanation?

It has also been suggested a 'rapid acceleration' in coronavirus cases could be linked to the hugely popular Eat Out to Help Out scheme, an Oxford University researcher has said.
The scheme, which involved the government fronting 50 per cent of the bill up to £10 per head at participating restaurants from Monday to Wednesday, has been hailed as the hospitality industry's saviour.
However, a new report from Oxford University public policy researcher Toby Phillips suggests the scheme may have contributed to a 'rapid acceleration' in reported infections in Britain and 'encouraged extravagant levels of eating out'.

Eat out to help out. According to the Rule of Shittpeas this involves a cash register, so cannot possibly be responsible for spreading Coronavirus. Subject closed.Snippet from a Daily mail article

Had I been asked, I'd have found it difficult to split between "young people" and everyone else.Now the young are getting a slagging
I see quite a lot of older people failing to maintain distances, pushing in, not wearing masks (only required here as of today), etc.
I see quite a lot of younger people wearing masks, generally maintaining distance, and generally being careful. They seem more nimble and therefore better able to walk around, and pass more quickly.
In any case, when you see people close together, it can be difficult to decide whether they live together or not.
If I had to assess which grouping was worst, I simply wouldn't be able to say. And if I were forced to answer, it would as likely be based on prejudice as reality.
You know very well what it is. Here‘s the lyrics. Sing along and mime all of the chorus actions as you sing them.
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee
To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody
I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki
Where she was selling pineapple playing ukulele
And when I went to the girl come on and teach me to sway
She laughed and whispered to me yes come tonight to the bay
The lovely beach and the sky
The moon of Hawaii
The rum calypso sarong
We'll all be singing this song
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee
To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees
Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody
Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree
Agadoo doo…
