Went for a ride today up some climbs I hadn't done before. Got home and found that the steepest climb is a STRAVA segment called the Death Wall ! Mind you, part of the descent was a straight road nearly 1.5Km long, downhill all the way 🙂

That'll upset Wes.

"There is no plan for no deal, because we’re going to get a great deal." - Boris Johnson "We have four years more or less between now and date of next election. We can easily conclude a new settlement with EU in that period." - Michael Gove "If you think about it, the free trade agreement that we will have to come to with the European Union should be one of the easiest in human history.” - Liam Fox "It will be easy to negotiate a trade deal, and of course, it's in the European Union's interest, just as it is in ours." - Paul Nuttall (UKIP) 'trade relations with the EU could be sorted out "in an afternoon over a cup of coffee"' - Gerard Batten (UKIP) "I think we could very easily get a better trade deal than we have at the moment." - Douglas Carswell "All the problems that you traditionally have with a trade negotiation aren't there." - Matthew Elliott (Vote Leave Ch. Exec)

So much for the easiest trade deal in history. 🤩

And what, pray, is the "British mood" ? Yours is certainly not mine. Do you really think that most leave voters want 'no deal' ? As they are almost all employed elsewhere, would they concede on fisheries if it meant maintaining their own jobs and income ? As you are well aware, fishing is a minute part of the overall economy. Edit: regarding the "British mood", how many businesses have come out supporting no-deal ? How many have advised against it ?

The French are digging in over fisheries because they suspect that the UK Govt will back down on that to land more favourable agreements on more valuable areas of the economy. ( And they are probably correct in that assessment ).

( Or political advisors ) Yay! WSS has seen the light. 🙂

"....solemnly call on the negotiators on both sides of the Channel ...." "We call on the leaders of both sides to stay committed to the Withdrawal Agreement and the Political Declaration, ". So, calling on BOTH sides to stop being intransigent. Not quite as Guido is reporting it, nor as you are reading it.

Are you inferring a Northern stereotype ?

Have they done a similar piece on, as you term him, the buffoon. As you said in your earlier post, what a choice !

He might well have, but Fox went out of their way to paint him in a specific light.

The Government invited the Warrington MP to join the video conference about restrictions in Merseyside, despite Warrington not being in Merseyside. They also failed to invite Lisa Nandy, MP for Wigan, to the conference for Greater Manchester - Wigan is in GM. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/government-fumbled-tier-listings-last-night_uk_5f856b1ec5b6e6d033a76cd8 Their grasp of the geography of the North West is nearly as poor as their grasp on reality.

Fox News. Nuff said.

"If you have even the slightest doubt about whether your eyesight is OK for driving you should not drive again until you have seen an optician or other eyesight specialist." https://smartdriving.co.uk/Driving/Useful/eyesight.html Driving with defective vision is an offence. So, if he thought his eyesight was defective, then technically he broke the law by not having a 'proper' eye test before getting into his car.

"Do as I say", not "Do as I do".

The Amendment was an attempt to ensure they keep to their election promise, though to be fair the Governent have said they will simply transfer into UK law the existing EU regulations. We shall have to see if they actually deliver, when Tory back benchers are coming out with comments such as these : " But Conservative MP John Lamont supported the government, saying the amendments were "not in the interests" of food producers or standards and would be "bad for trade". Party colleague Anthony Mangnall said there had been a "huge amount of fear-mongering" over the importation of chlorinated chicken and hormone-injected beef, and that "has to stop". ".

The Lounge seems to have taken a big leap backwards this weekend.

Dominic Cummins may not be an MP, but he is arguably more important and influential on the public experience than a non-entity from north of the border. He has not apologised, and has said he has no regrets over his trip north, or his " eye test".

This.

What Aintforever said in response to you was "Fuck me you are hard work. What the Scottish MP (no typo this time) did was worse ", and he then continued to say that she at least had the decency to apologise. The key factor in this is which one, out of her and Dom, is helping generate the 'guidance' that we are all supposed to be following.

A million monkeys with a million typewriters, and this is the best they can come up with.

Come on then, give us the evidence that the entire world, except you oh special one, is wrong. Explain what all those people have died of. "Classic idiotic argumentative twot" - defined in Britannica as "St Bangkok".

Come on, even you should have spotted that is a typo.
