Got out of jail with two correct results in the last two games. Week 20 points... Week 20 table...

Two I think, hasn't happened for a while...

Right in the sweet spot... The inability to trade freely within your own country (ie between Britain and N.Ireland) is a far more humiliating and stark loss of sovereignty than anything the UK experienced as a member of the EU. Ironically, it is a consequence of Brexit - or of the Brexit deal Johnson chose.

Phew! Well done Spurs, prior to that I was nervously half-way to joining the Coupe de la Mis?re hall of infamy...

Have to 'fess up, I predicted a Scotland win by mistake :) Perhaps like the football, away wins are going to be more commonplace in crowd-free stadiums...

''You have no authority here Jackie Weaver''...:)

How do you think some Remain voters were hoodwinked, bearing in mind they were voting for the status quo?...

This plan to ''save the Union'' has to be up there with giant wave machines to deter migrant crossings in the Channel...

I've found that poll I referred to earlier, it's quite the eye opener...https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2019/06/18/most-conservative-members-would-see-party-destroye Not only were Tory members strongly in favour of breaking up the Union, they were just as strongly in favour of there being ''significant'' damage to the UK economy and even the ''destruction'' of the Tory party itself, if it meant delivering Brexit. I think it's fair to say that for them at least, Brexit was definitely an emotional vote, and I suspect for a lot of non-Tory members likewise. I've long thought that how Cat came about his decision to vote Leave was an outlier, and instead most people voted on a more simplistic, emotional basis, on the Remain side too. Any emotional vote very much plays into the 'Braveheart' narrative...

After the Biden win I saw this graphic showing all the previous Vice-Presidents, the point being that Kamala Harris was going to be the first female VP as well as BAME... Apart from those two obvious differences, what also stands out is the use of the Stars and Stripes in the background, which has only been 'a thing' since Spiro Agnew ('69-'73). A more recent addition is the lapel badge, started by Dick Cheney ('01-'09). Now even our health secretaries go around wearing an NHS badge to 'prove' their commitment. Modern day political virtue signaling in a visual communicative world...

I don't want to see the break-up of the UK, I just see it as a natural knock-on effect of the hard Brexit we ended up with. Had it been a Brexit that reflected the closeness of the vote, that respected that Scotland and NI each had strong support to remain, i.e. a softer Norway-style deal where we remained in the Single Market, then I don't think we would be having this discussion. In the run-up to the 2014 Indy Ref a big deal was made by the No campaign that Scotland was stronger in the Union because we were in the EU, but that's been taken away, so I fully understand why a majority would now want to break away... ETA: NI is a different situation, I've always believed that eventually it would become united with Ireland, but Brexit has speeded up that process...

Hiya Hammy, great to hear from you again! Have you used one of your multiple accounts to report someone whose viewpoint you didn't agree with, lately?. Special mention in dispatches to Mahoody, Dyson Repairs and Winder...Lest We Forget. Kisses, HCD

How's it going, have you posted any more fake recommendations for your other accounts lately? Send our love to tomdhu and Dulwich Dyson, and our sympathies go out to all those previous accounts you had to close. Keep smiling! Lots of love, The EDF Liberals (Hardline Centrist Division)...

The EU will learn from this.

Put it this way Cat, the 'EDF Remainers' won't be coming to your next barbie...;-)

Austria, Italy, Poland, and Sweden can be added to that list. I don't think there would be an outcry here if there was scientific reasoning not to give it to the over-65's, have any of these countries said why they won't?...

A lot of the spam I get these days is Bitcoin related, seems that interest in V.iagra has drooped...

Neighbours are concerned the Buzzards have taken the Neighbourhood Watch scheme too far as the Domino's courier discovers... Do you have anything else to declare apart from a Two 4 Tuesday meal deal with extra Banofee Pie? Darling, remember it's my turn to wear the rubber glove! squealed an excited Mrs Buzzard...
