Following on from George Osborne's reported comment (bags in his freezer) Vince Cable has said Theresa May is like someone handcuffed to a radiator in Beirut.

I can't believe he's dragged that figure up again, it's been totally discredited, even Farage said it was a misleading figure the day after the referendum. This BBC article puts the figure at ?252m after the rebate...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41289080

You then have to factor in the money that comes back to the UK through grants etc, and what about all the pre & post-Brexit costs for staff, buildings, new IT systems, infrastructure etc that's needed. And he's still banging on about not being in the Single Market but we should have free access to it. What an utter cockwomble...

Hetan Shah, the executive director of the Royal Statistical Society, said: ?It is extremely concerning to see a minister seeking to undermine our independent statistical regulator. The UK is envied around the world for the independence of our statistical system and it is important that politicians are not seen to be compromising it.?


Boris won't back down though.

I can. He's miffed he has so little credibility, and this figure is the centerpiece. Talk in Tory press of him being marginalised etc. He'd like to correct history.

So, the current negotiators look no closer to a deal than at the point we triggered Brexit. And today the Beeb points out why 'no deal' is not really being prepared for either.

So, is Brexit going to be:


a) a disaster

b) a complete disaster, or

c) a complete and utter disaster.

Preparation? Relax - it's only the future of 60 million at stake, it'll be fine. Everyone can just retreat to the country piles and use their rainy day Swiss funds until this all blows over in case it goes awry.

    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
    • Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again. 
    • What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
