Yes.

I won't bite regarding your spelling. However, following in similar vein to your previous post; use of the word 'pal' to signify a passive-aggressive posture towards another person. Classic debating technique by somebody losing the argument. Love and kisses.

Or merely a claim to intellectual superiority. 😁 It's a line that I cannot use with certain other posters as it would be too easy.

Punctuation, chump. 1 apostrophe, 2 full stops, and 1 capital letter missing.

Or the fact that the Government IT system for the new customs arrangements isn't working as it has yet to be fully specified let alone tested, which is actually the case.

Loose can mean to set free or to fire; you can loose an arrow, so potentially can loose phlegm. 😉

Just watched the last episode of Disco season 3; how much void space is there inside that ship ?

Should have claimed it was an eye test.

More from CNN; Derrick Evans, a West Virginia state legislator who recorded himself storming the Capitol on Wednesday, faces criminal charges, US officials said. Evans has been charged in a criminal complaint with entering restricted area and entering the US Capitol, said Ken Kohl, a top official in the US attorney’s office for Washington, DC. ============================================= The man photographed sitting at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s desk has been arrested and charged with three federal counts including theft of public property, federal officials said Friday. Federal officials said Richard Barnett of Arkansas was taken into custody Friday morning in Little Rock. Barnett was charged with knowingly entering and remaining in restricted building ground without authority, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds and the theft of public property, officials said. A resident of Alabama was also charged in connection with the pipe bomb found on the south side of the Capitol building, 11 Molotov cocktails and military-style weapon found in his pickup truck.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/07/us/capitol-riots-people-fired-jobs-trnd/index.html As images and social media posts of Wednesday's insurrection at the US Capitol circulate online, some of those who were present are being identified, and some have lost or left their jobs because of it.

Is Trump not going to Biden's inauguration because he knows something naughty is likely to happen ?

Watching the video that Donnie released yesterday, in which he said he would not look for a second term in 2024, I wondered who's words they were and whether for a second he meant what he was saying, based on the following; " Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, citing conversations with senior White House officials, said on Hugh Hewitt's radio show that President Trump "wanted chaos on television" on Wednesday and was "confused about why other people on his team weren’t as excited as he was as you had rioters pushing against Capitol Police trying to get into the building." In an interview Friday morning with Hugh Hewitt, Sasse also said Trump was talking about "a path by which he was going to stay in office after January 20." On impeachment, Sasse signaled he was seriously considering whether he would vote to remove the President from office, but that "there are a lot of questions that we need to get to the bottom of," specifically citing delays with deploying the National Guard. "But I think that the question of was the President derelict in his duty, that’s not an open question. He was," Sasse added." In other news, Nancy Pelosi has spoken to the Joint Chiefs about control of the Nuclear Codes.

You have your view, I have mine. They are not quite diametrically opposed, but I don't think we will ever agree. Sometimes you appear to truly believe what you post, sometimes you give the impression that you are cheekily acting as a provocateur, just for the poops and giggles. Trousers does this in a less subtle, and slightly more humourous, way.

But only one was fomented by a sitting President attempting to overturn and subvert his legitimate electoral defeat. Now, if David Cameron had encouraged a protest after the Brexit referendum then that might be comparable.

Yes they do, but what you have to accept is when you are attempting to compare apples with pears. What happened in Washington was not equal to the anti-Brexit protests; nobody on either side was killed, nobody tried to directly and violently interfere with legitimate Government processes, the anti-Brexit protest wasn't fomented by the Leader of the country. A more direct comparison with the BLM marches in the USA is relevant. But specifically in Washington DC, compare the images of the Policing of the BLM event to the lack of security at the Presidentially endorsed invasion of the Capitol.

At least one of them had a taser - but hadn't read the instruction leaflet. The point is that this happened in the USA, where you can buy ammuntion with your weekly groceries, and none of these people had been searched. How many could have an automatic pistol under their clothing ? You don't know, nor did the Police, who actually did seize a small number of firearms that were being openly carried in a City with a "no open carry law".

There has been a syndicated story in local newspapers that interprets the rule as "your village, town or the part of a city where you live". Out here in the sticks, some village parishes are many miles across - it is easy to travel 5 miles without leaving the 'local' area, by this definition.

The new CoViD lockdown laws do not set a definition of 'local'.

Yes

Perhaps the fishing industry itself ? https://thefishingdaily.com/latest-news/scottish-seafood-exporters-hit-by-perfect-storm-of-brexit-disruption/ " Responding to the current Brexit disruption, Donna Fordyce, Chief Executive of Seafood Scotland, said: “The last 48 hours has really delivered what was expected – new bureaucratic non-tariff barriers, and no one body with the tools to be able to fix the situation. “It’s a perfect storm for Scottish seafood exporters. Weakened by Covid-19, and the closure of the French border before Christmas, the end of the Brexit transition period has unleashed layer upon layer of administrative problems, resulting in queues, border refusals and utter confusion. “IT problems in France meant consignments were diverted from Boulogne sur Mer to Dunkirk, which was unprepared as it wasn’t supposed to be at the export frontline. There have also been HMRC IT issues on the UK side that need to resolved ASAP regarding certification. A lack of knowledge and understanding of the required paperwork means some companies are ill prepared for the new checks, which are taking far longer because of the mistakes being uncovered. When the systems settle down, checks should be carried out on samples from each load but now entire consignments are having to be checked to satisfy requirements. “These businesses are not transporting toilet rolls or widgets. They are exporting the highest quality, perishable seafood which has a finite window to get to markets in peak condition. If the window closes these consignments go to landfill. The knock-on effect of export falling over is that the fishing fleet will have little reason to go out. In a very short time we could see the destruction of a centuries old market which contributes significantly to the Scottish economy. “The problem is no longer hypothetical. It is happening right now. We are working with industry, Government, and other bodies to try to mop up the mess to allow trade to flow again. We are doing all we can to help companies get the paperwork done. It will take time to fix – which we know many seafood companies can’t afford right now.”

And the weak, repetitive, line of somebody trying to avoid denouncing a violent assault on a centre of Government by associating heterogenous events.

Short

Well, yesterday GM was arguing that tasers should have been used instead of guns.

New border rules introduced last week are already creating problems for exporters and traders, say firms. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55583244 " But major retailers that use the UK as a distribution hub for European business could face possible tariffs if they re-export goods to the EU. "Tariff free does not feel like tariff free when you read the fine print," M&S's chief executive Steve Rowe told Reuters on Thursday, ahead of the retailer's trading update on Friday. "For big businesses there will be time-consuming workarounds but for a lot of others this means paying tariffs or rebasing into the EU."
