Yes, junta is a suitable term. Much shorter than "so-called government" as I have been using.
Brexit, for once some facts.

Might want to add the delights of:What fun timetable to disaster
And then the slide down into chaos begins.

- September 23-27: Boris Johnson speaks at UN General Assembly in this week and could visit the White House
- September 29 - October 2: Tory Party conference
- October 14: Parliament returns with Queen's Speech - but is then snarled up in a week of debates
- October 17: European Council meeting. The last chance to get a Brexit deal with 27 EU leaders
- October 21-22: Votes on the Queen's Speech
- Final week: Vote on any plan Boris Johnson gets for Brexit
- October 31: Brexit happens, with or without a deal
And what's in it for us? Nothing.. but for this character with the bucket on his head, it's sunshine all the way.
As an example of how phony this son of a one time editor of the Times is, his parents purchased the alleged "ancestral home"Prior to his birth, in 1964 Ston Easton Park, a country house in 1964 then A few years later, in 1978, the family moved to the nearby village of Hinton Blewett where they purchased The Old Rectory, a Grade II listed former rectory, today valued at £2Million.
So where did the big grant go?

Boris Johnson is prepared to blow up his own parliamentary majority and withdraw the whip from dozens of Conservative MPs if they back plans to stop no-deal Brexit, Tory whips have warned potential rebels, in an extreme move by Downing Street that would pave the way for an imminent general election.
So much for the Government saying "Don't stockpile";-)
Could be a smelly October with all those beans sweet corn and soup!
By the way if tax on food is reduced, does anyone imagine they won't simply make it up from somewhere else?
What happens to finger's "win win" then?

"Brexit ultimatum to rebel Mp's
Back me or be sacked"
Isn't this all a bit futile when the EU aren't falling for the bluff anyway?
And Boris's threat will simply hand seats to both the BNP and other opposition parties?
He looks like a deranged loony, the best thing the conservative party could do is deselect him.

They have a cunning plan you know, from Baldric Cummings
But if you read the advice, for individuals, and you are not intending to travel, there isn't anything to do. So just how much money have they put into the campaign telling us that a very large number of us don't need to do anything?
Well, perhaps they did actually come up with some advice but the expenses came in when they had to invoke the "official secrets act" to classify it (to avoid political inconvenience of type of the legal case over the referendum that went the same way)
This is the sort of planning we have come to associate with Brexit.
It's all on a "Need to know" basis
The less the public knows of the situation the better till it's too late.
Nothing to worry about. Nothing to see. Move along now....

"Gloves off as Tories plot to topple Speaker John Bercow for 'blatant Brexit bias'
LOYALIST Tory MPs yesterday threatened a new attempt to topple Commons Speaker John Bercow after accusing him of “blatant Brexit bias”.
Backbenchers called on party chiefs to ditch the convention of allowing the Speaker to stand unopposed in his Commons constituency as punishment for controversial rulings in Parliament. The bid to oust Mr Bercow at the next general election comes ahead of crunch Brexit debates at Westminster where the official is set to play a key role. He has denounced Boris Johnson’s move to cut short the current parliamentary session as a “constitutional outrage” and held talks with leading pro-Brussels Tory rebel Sir Oliver Letwin.
What a bunch of lunatics and people still defend this set of bullies and blackmailers?
Loyalists?
Loyal to who exactly? these are enemies of Parliament
