Is it just me that's actually starting to think, "let the house burn"? I'm so fed up with the 'project fear' nonsence, that a small part of me is starting to believe that we should crash out and let Boris et al be exposed as the con artists they undoubtably are. There is no good way out of this and it feels a bit like we'd be better just ripping the plaster off and rebuilding again.

It seems the U.K. is fulfilling the post-empire prophecy of managed decline. We only punched above our weight previously because of our common market membership, not in spite of it. Few people alive today will have memories of living in post war economic uncertainty. A bankrupt country crawling out of debt. The idea we are a great nation punching above our weight is laughable in the context of Brexit. Without EU membership, I would hate to see what state this country would be in today. Ah well, you reap what you sow. I have a tin hat somewhere.

Same. I typed a longer response but then thought better of it.

Seems the UK managed to f**k up potential trade deals with both China and Japan due to sheer stupidity. Meanwhile the media manages to focus on a teenage girl in a foreign country who is apparently a threat to the nation. To keep the story going, let's strip her of her citizenship. That will keep the great unwashed busy for a while.

To be fair the trade deal with Japan is still on the table, although I suspect we?ve burned some goodwill. China is always tricky territory, both literally and figuratively, although Williamson has to know that which makes his comments even more bone-headed.


All that said, it doesn?t bode well for the idea that we?re good negotiators.

And yet Kate Hoey is allowed to ignore the fact that 70% of HER constituents voted Remain?


Let me see if I understand your ?logic?...


- MP voted Remain, but constituents voted Leave, MP is duty-bound to support Leave. Ok, yeah, fair enough - I see where you?re coming from on that. They work for us and so on.


- MP voted Leave, but constituents voted Remain (by a far greater margin than the overall result), MO is duty-bound to lecture those constituents about how wrong they are and then ignore their opinions. Um, hang on...isn?t that exactly what you objected to for so many years, and isn?t that completely twisted? And massively hypocritical? Yes. Yes it is.


Oh, and look - ?libturd?. Your term of abuse for anyone who disagrees with you.

I bet you looked fetching in your yellow vest. Funny how they say people get more right-wing as they age, eh?


?Libturd?...dear oh dear...

Boris Johnson and Michael Gove are journalists. Winston Churchill was a journalist. Geoffrey Cox is a barrister and so was Margaret Thatcher. Seriously, take some water with it and try not to start so early.

OK this is even more chaos now - someone tried to draw a decision tree of Mays latest plan - but what happens when you get to the bottom right - you can't say no deal as it's already been voted down in the earlier portion of the decision tree.

      Annoying words that have cropped up in our language

      By Sue · Posted

      Curated. Or carefully curated. FFS. You are a shop, not a museum. Your customers EXPECT you to have chosen what you sell, rather than grabbing (GRRRR) some random selection of whatever it is you sell from the wholesaler, or the manufacturer, or the individual artists or craftspeople or whatever.

      Where does one go to ask admin questions please?

      By Sue · Posted

      If you are on the app, click on "more" (on the right of the green strip at the bottom of this page). Then click on FAQ. The page on the screenshot below comes up. Then click on "How can I contact the forum admin". Then click on the link which comes up (the  "contact us page") There might be a quicker way, but that should work.
