No Excuses Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Been watching BBC quite a lot over the past few days. Britain’s conservatives are light years ahead of our own in terms of thinking sensibly about a lot of issues. For instance, climate change isn’t a Chinese conspiracy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corcaigh Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 You couldn't make this up ... the newly elected leader of the UK Independence Party is ... Dick Braine https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/lifestyle/dick-braine-elected-new-leader-of-ukip/10/08/ Clearly we are living in a simulation and the writers are getting bored and starting to show their twisted sense of humor. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 No-deal Brexit: quarter of UK voters now stockpiling or delaying big purchases A quarter of UK voters have started taking precautions against the adverse consequences of a no-deal Brexit, including stockpiling food, toiletries and medicines, according to a new Opinium/Observer poll. While 75% of those questioned said they had taken no special action, the remaining 25% said they had taken one or more of a series of measures listed by Opinium, which also included altering travel plans and delaying major purchases. The survey was taken after leaks of official documents showed concerns within Whitehall about the effects of no deal on the supply of food, medicines and other items. Among those who had taken action, 9% said they had begun stockpiling goods, 8% said that they had delayed major purchases and 7% said they had altered travel plans. Among people who said they had begun stockpiling 57% said they bought extra tinned food, 45% extra medicines, 38% more toiletries and 30% additional toilet paper.

Corcaigh Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 The Boris Johnson government can't be this stupid. Not only are they willing to **** the UK economy with a Hard Brexit, they are also acting in a way that will likely restart the 'troubles' in Northern Ireland.

They don't want a hard border between NI/ROI but they also don't want any type of internal border with the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels kind of weird given how this is bearing down on them, would be kind of like Congress going on vacation as we were about to pull out of NATO.

DCSaints_fan Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Really, I don't think it matters all that much. They would have waited until the 11th hour anyway. I bet there's another extension come October 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
