Oh, yes, down the side return too - does anyone have a number for a gardener? I did some trimming in the front garden yesterday with Mrs Bob.

[Blah Blah]

And now Uncleglen amazes us with his utter lack of knowledge about Dominic Raab :D

Yes that?s him, the one and the same. Still 20 years in the foreign office probably meant that it took a little while to figure out the complexities and nuances of trading goods across the water from foreigners lands.

Like how the heck are you meant to know these details, if not by working in the Foreign Office. That said, Whitehall is quite a long way from Dover, I?ve read Samuel Pepys diary and it took him days to get there tbh.

So please, let?s cut Dom some slack here.

Raab has a fine tightrope to walk but he seems to have gone all in for Trump now (I think someone from the US has got in touch)

I can only assume from his comments that we would also have killed the guy if we had the opportunity, yes ?

52 sites "important to Iranian culture" - so they are culturally important to Iran but not to the world in general ?

Tempting to try and list them.

Yea - Dom Cummings has his first applicant

Harry Gl?cksburg Battenberg-Windsor is thinking of applying too. You heard it from me first

Really? Along with Gardiner's question time...

[SpringTime]

Is anyone here on the Forum applying?

[dulwichbloke]

Nah, but Cella/Marcella hasn't been heard from on here for a while. Maybe she's already applied and started working for Dominic.

Which one - Raad, Grieve or Cummings?

[SpringTime]

Sorry - Raab

Oh oh, Derek Mackay has now had to resign and Alex Salmond will soon be in court. Peak SNP? All downhill now?

An independent Scotland would not be run by the SNP just like UK post Brexit is not run by UKIP.

I'd expect independent Labour and Tory parties of Scotland.

[TheCat]

For context - I didn't vote conservative recently, despite my leaver credentials on this forum. For me the question of government or leave are totally separate.

But, in anycase, after the election I was prepared to give Boris the benefit of the doubt, despite his patchy record with the truth etc. But I must say this forcing out of javid does concern me.

They wanted him to change his advisors, so really they wanted to keep him as a figurehead to show stability, but number 10 would actually make the decisions in the chancellory...

Hmmmm.......

[Bob Buzzard]

Now the Mayoralty election has been delayed what we will do instead?
