Particularly if we start to diverge from EU standards and protocols.

Your Jedi mind tricks won't work on me.

Have we yet found 3 worse teams than Saints? Villa's next 2 games are Norwich and Watford.

I understand the words, and I accept that you believe them to represent a potential future. However, I do not think that the EU will imperil or compromise their project going forward, even if it means a short term 'hit' through standing firm against UK brinksmanship, or the German Chancellor having plug her ears to block the noise of their car manufacturers beating on her door.

You didn't, but you are semantically evading the issue by ignoring the fact that the EU are far more important to the UK as a trading partner than the UK is to the EU.

But, drowning in custard ? ( Ooops !! )

Just seen the new Star Wars film, or rather Skywalker meets the Blues Brothers ( "We're putting the band back together" ). Won't post any plot spoilers, not that there's much plot to begin with. In the main it seems to be an excuse for a cast reunion for A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, and the big reveal regarding Rey was actually suggested on HuffPost back in 2016. A pleasant enough treat for our 39th wedding anniversary, but horses galloping along the outer hull of a Star Destroyer ?

I thought you were quite content with a WTO based no-deal exit.

As a proportion of their total trade ? They are approx 50% of both our imports and exports, we are less than 10% of EU exports.

He needed to go years ago.

Whilst the cliff edge might be troublesome for the EU, it will be far worse for the UK. A classic case of "cutting off your nose...".

I note that we seem to be lacking in graphs showing that the Pound has fallen against both the Euro and the Dollar this afternoon. Presumably this is not due to Boris 'playing a blinder'.

A similar thing didn't happen to my daughter when she showed support to some EU citizens on FaceBook, she was told to 'go back to where you come from'. The antagonist had no further response to her posting 'What, Blackpool ?'.

To be accurate, the funding is planned to increase year on year so that in 5 years time it will be that much higher than today, not allowing for inflation. It is not £33bn in the next financial year.

Don't be so touchy, it was an attempt at a light-hearted comment. You Brexiteers should stop being so angry and aggressive - you won ffs !

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/dec/17/johnson-bans-ministers-from-davos-in-nod-to-working-class-voters "Johnson also asked his colleagues “how many new hospitals are we going to build?” with the cabinet answering back in unison “40”. He then asked: “How many more nurses are we going to hire?” They chanted back: “50,000.”" Oh no you're not ! ( Well, it is panto season ). As for forming a 'People's Government', how very Communist Central Committee. Jeremy Corbyn must be spitting feathers as his mantra gets hijacked.

No you wouldn't, but it would make misery easier to bear.

Boris continuing to 'play a blinder'; "THE pound has plummeted against the euro and US dollar with Boris Johnson set to throw down the gauntlet to the EU." https://www.express.co.uk/finance/city/1218217/pound-to-euro-exchange-rate-GBP-sterling-US-dollar-Brexit-no-deal-boris-johnson I wonder if anyone will reply claiming that I don't really understand that this is all just posturing, and that both the EU and the UK will now work all the harder to ensure that no-deal does not, in fact, happen.

340,000 leave votes in NI, population of Gib approx 35,000. Still leaves over two and a half million.
