Brexit, for once some facts.

[oldgroaner]

Every time I see the phrase "Leave camp", I get a momentary mental image. Remember the very old, Camp Coffee picture? Days of the British Raj. Their promise as fake as the promised flavour of coffee.

I remember staying with Grandmother, (Who was like the rest of our clan mad as a box of frogs) when mother and father went to the annual regimental dance.
She served a rather too generous slop of it into a cup with condensed milk and no sugar
My goodness!
Never again!!!

Specialist online retailers in various EU countries have said they will no longer send products to UK addresses because of tax changes due to Brexit. Losing trade is all part of a Government initiative to reduce red tape and delays. And this one could actually work

When you think about it the Leave Campaign left the EU intent that we would lose a huge amount of trade, and now the continentals think Brexit means Brexit is a great way to cut red tape too! KARMA

Oh, here come the sunlit uplands
"The EU financial markets regulator has withdrawn the 'registrations' of six UK-based credit rating agencies and four trade repositories due to Brexit. Fitch and Moody’s are among the rating agencies affected by the measure."

Brexit means Brexit

I’m supposed to be on Jury Service in mid February. I’m not at all keen about mixing with random strangers, whose habits during this pandemic I know nothing about. They might be ant-mask / ant lockdown etc. It seems as if it will jeopardise / negate all the rule following and safety measures I’ve put myself through.

I’m going to ask if I can give my guilty verdict now so I don’t need to attend in February. After all, they must have done something to end up in court. They might not be guilty of the offence for which they are in trial, but they will be guilty of something, it’s just they weren’t caught.

Recall of parliament and 8pm Johnson announcement.

He waits and delays until there is only one decision to make. That’s what he’s done, again. Faced with a variety of decisions, upon which a strategy can be built, he’s out of his depth and he dithers until circumstances make the decision fir him. The entire cabinet is the same.

I have always admired your style, I'm convinced that somewhere in a previous incarnation, with the enlightened view of justice you just explained, you were one of the Bell clan.

There have been around one million Covid-19 vaccines injected so far.

There has not been one single vaccination in this county, so far as I can tell.

I can appreciate some of the reasons but it is starting to look bad. Clarity and openness might help to dispel the questioning over distribution and some notion of "fairness".

I change age range before I get anywhere near the top of the queue. Which then reduces the queue substantially. (Assuming they use my age then rather than my age now!)

How's everybody enjoying their Brexit then? Has anybody noticed a difference yet? The weather seems a bit colder - bloody Borris!

Yes we have been posting about noticeable changes but since like Boris you either don't read, and or won't understand, since you don't intend to, they will pass right over your head as usual

I’m due January 2022. That’s my penalty for looking after myself and keeping fit.

We need to get the fat bastards inoculated so they can get back inside the cake shop.
