Make America Grate Again.

Would that make them dung beetles ?

Radio 1 decidng to edit "Fairy Tale of New York" because the lyrics might offend the sense of sexuality and gender held by the precious little things that now comprise it's audience. The grown ups who listen to R2 are allowed to hear the original.

"......you have to accept that there is probably a majority of the electorate currently who do not wish for us to cave in to EU demands (particularly from the French) that they have undiminished access to our coastal waters. Neither do those "people" want us to continue to be subservient to EU rules on how we should govern ourselves, or subject to the jurisdiction of their law courts. " That reads as if you are claiming a 'majority of the electorate' want to leave the EU, under WTO if necessary. I contend that you are wrong.

Who asked you ? Wes mentioned 'a majority of the electorate', and I responded. I didn't lose, I wasn't in the contest. Do you think a no-deal Brexit is 'winning' ?

If they're so smart, ask them to explain Pythagoras' Theorum.

There wasn't a majority of the Electorate in favour of Brexit; 52% of the 72% turnout equals 37% of the electorate. And there is absolutely zero evidence that a 'majority of the electorate' are in favour of Brexit now, let alone taking your slant on things.

Perhaps people don't share your almost gloating desire for WTO, seeing it as bad for the UK's economic future, and therefore digging our heels in over a comparitively insignificant issue is picking the wrong fight.

If CoViD is, what about Sickle Cell Anaemia ?

Come on Wes, we've been through this already on here; The UK Government is solely responsible for the allocation of fishing quotas for UK waters, apportioned through Production Organisations, and based on historical landings and size of vessels. The fact that EU companies and masters hold so much of our quota is because the UK fishing induustry sold it to them.

What about bleached fannies or shaved arseholes ?

Not debating his operatic ability, but that doesn't make him a nice guy. ( Which I reiterate - he isn't ).

Quite. The UK has always had 'control' over it's own waters, it just chose to mismanage the quota system that it itself created.

He isn't.

The EU has not had 'virtual unlimited' access to UK fishing waters either.

It only requires one side to be sensible, no need for the UK side to follow suit.

Ireland's Foreign Minister speaking on Sunday; Mr Coveney told Sky News: “If you want to use sporting parlance, this is move week. We have got to make big progress this week, hopefully we have got to get the big issues resolved in principle this week.” He also repeated that any trade deal would not be approved by the EU unless Mr Johnson dropped his threat, contained in his internal market bill, to break commitments on Northern Ireland in his withdrawal treaty. Definitely panicing.

Of course it is reasonable, but it is hardly ground breaking or worthy of stringing out the Union Jack bunting.

We have signed "Memoranda of Understanding" to maintain access based on existing quotas, to review the quotas annually, and to share information on management of fish stocks and relevant advances in technology. No biggy, just maintaining the status quo.

Britain's Got Talent X Factor The Voice I'm a Celebrity...... Anything on ITV2. ( I would add ITVbe but the title of the thread does state 'popular' ).

Just don't be first in the queue for it, wait until at least version x.2 and somebody else has discovered the bugs.

The Governor of Michigan announces a new 3 week restriction on group meetings and activities, in response Whitehouse spokeman Dr Scott Atlas tells people to "rise up and resist" the new measures. ( It took the US 6 days to add the latest 1million cases ).

If only one of them had been on the scene, then he would have been up around the 180 England caps mark.

And you also have the issue of who's rules and regulations are enforced, the Internet by definition operates outside normal national boundaries. That is unless you introduce a local version of the Great Firewall of China, or a similarly restrictive route of access to the Web, as countries such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Iran have done, and as Russia is attempting to do.

And it is easy to completely ignore the reality of how people are influenced, and potentially manipulated, by their Social Media interactions, and how much Social Media has become an integral, almost organically intertwined, part of human existence. The clue is in the term 'Influencer'. If it wasn't effective, the Politicos wouldn't expend so much time and money on it.
