Little wonder you side with Johnson. You share many of his traits. As for “very angry,” no, just deeply frustrated that there are still people in this country who think that it is perfectly ok that Johnson remains as PM and that we are being governed by a bunch of total incompetents. I am not sure about using “very old” as a pejorative term. If you are fortunate enough one day you will be “very old.” Probably best to hope that there is no WW3 and you are called up to feed a submarine crew though. At least I will just be sat in an underground bunker regaling all those bored enough to listen with tales about strange characters on an Internet forum. Rather than talk about character on an Internet forum won’t you be impressing them with your career prosecuting knife crime and rape, telling them how you did your bit for BLM by tipping your mixed race bar maid or explaining to them that the Useless PM is personally responsible for your significant personal debts?

badgerx16 Posted 28 May, 2022 Share Posted 28 May, 2022 (edited) Boris is psychic..... https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grant-shapps-claims-not-partying-27047663 "Tory Grant Shapps has bizarrely claimed Boris Johnson was “clearly not partying” when he raised fizz surrounded by booze at a No10 party. The Cabinet ally said the Prime Minister "lost his mum during the period", despite the fact Charlotte Johnson Wahl died “suddenly” 10 months after the party happened."

One thing they are pushing is that it will help trade with the US. Unfortunately, whilst the US pound and ounce are the same as the old Imperial measures, the US hundredweight and ton are smaller than the British versions, and US pints and gallons are similarly smaller.

sadoldgit Posted 29 May, 2022 Share Posted 29 May, 2022 (edited) The Mail on Sunday making a big deal about the Crown having to be removed from pint glasses after an edict from the EU 18 years ago and now being brought back as part of a benefit of Brexit. Only there was no edict to remove the crown from pint glasses. But never mind, it makes for a brilliant jingoistic front page when you are trying to save Johnson’s job for him.

Jeremy Corbyn Posted 29 May, 2022 Share Posted 29 May, 2022 I know the imperial measurements thing is supposed to stoke the culture war, but it feels like an own goal for the government as 1. Noone under 60 understands it so will see it as a pain and 2. I can imagine some brexiteers thinking "ermmm, is that the biggest benefit?".
