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.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I’m broadly in agreement with you, Dogkennelhillbilly. But why the meme? It’s a very unfair representation of Sean Dyche, a man who to my knowledge has never engaged in any culture war bollocks. From his Wikipedia entry: Dyche features in an internet meme criticising modern trends in football, in which the phrase "utter woke nonsense" is attributed to him; he said "I wish I'd copyrighted it. Considering I didn’t actually say it, it does follow me around".

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Whisky Macs, like Harvey's Bristol Cream and Cinzano Bianco & lemonade, are a taste of Christmas past sadly lost to many. A little Whisky Mac and icing sugar whisked through whipping cream makes a festive accompaniment to stollen or Christmas pudding.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Angelina · Posted

      Legal matters are notoriously slow.  There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary?    If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is?
