Alex 35095 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 He’s good crack when it comes to cricket but he’s a backward gammon cunt. If his knighthood gets blocked he’ll be absolutely apoplectic because it’s the sort of thing that really matters to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21924 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I could listen to him complain about batting all day. No big surprise he was Billy no mates off the pitch. Old school is a polite way to describe him - he once said he would have to black up to get a knighthood I don’t think knighting a convicted wife-beater sends out the best message but what does May care about protecting her reputation at this stage?

PaddockLad 17281 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 There's a bit in today's mail about the victim being somewhat of an unreliable witness and the conviction being unsafe. But, and I can't emphasize this enough, it's in the mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21627 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I wonder if that's just ignorance or someone is taking the piss. Fits in nicely with Johnson's "We're going to make a titanic success out of Brexit" comment a couple of years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44900 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 No deal sounds amazing. What are we waiting for. (my mam still wants no deal, or "clean break" as she's now calling it after she heard her hero Farage say it in the last couple of days. We've gone from "no deal" to "WTO" and now "clean break".)

It definitely seems to hold a lot of appeal for people who seem to know nothing about what it entails. There’s a lot of talk about the notion of our being failed by our politicians and our political system and there’s obviously a lot of merit to that view. But, fuck me gently, a lot of people make virtually no effort to find anything out about it for themselves. Yet they’re still vehement they’re in the right. It would be a crazy stance if it wasn’t important 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4386 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 The "clean break which means the whole thing is done and dusted" narrative seems particularly pervasive and is the one that needs challenging. Trying to explain that even if none of the doomsday scenario happens there'll still be months/years of negotiations is a fucking hard task.

Things will still need to be sorted, but in a much worse environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a short new one with Dunt and that Brummie constitutional expert they sometimes have on about what happens next in the Johnson prorogation case. He is in the shit basically.

ewerk 30620 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 So Johnson's NI only arrangements that look like the backstop, smell like the backstop but most certainly aren't the backstop aren't going to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17281 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Does it matter that the NI assembly isn’t sitting at the moment? Will Johnson just try to impose it? Edited September 13, 2019 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DUP would demand a Stormont veto on new EU legislation. The EU will be mindful that Stormont is possibly the most disfunctional legislature in Europe. They aren't going to want to be beholden to the DUP's will. They may offer NI MEP representation in the European Parliament but they aren't going to give it the same veto powers as a national government. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
