A thank you to Brexiteers.

[Pickman's model]

That is a load of shit.


If honest I thought it was nuts May conducted a pandemic exercise at the same time as trying to do Brexit, but she did.
It went badly and they covered it up. All prior to any of the no deal stuff

exercise cygnus involved fewer than a thousand people and it is an indictment of the pisspoor state of this country if it cannot manage to wave its hands with panic at the referendum result and spare 950 people to conduct a pandemic exercise at the same time.

Coz if nothing else, the last 5 years has shown just how magnimous in defeat the British can be

politics isn't a competition where one side packs up at some point and says good game well played, its never ending. Brexit isn't going away any time soon - i expect these are still the foothills

If nothing else the last five years have shown how pig ignorant, incompetent, dysfunctional, wasteful and mendacious in victory some British can be.

Exactly.

A system that took 50 years or so to set up.

The hard core leavers like that awful cunt Reece Mogg said it would take a decade or so, that is of course the decade where he sews up his wealth to the level that would be a fantasy for most people.

I don't trust Mogg as far as I can spit so prolly looking at 12 to 15 years of hardship and restructuring

I don't trust Mogg as far as I can spit so prolly looking at 12 to 15 years of hardship and restructuring

definitely - the restructuring - the divergence (from the EU) bit - is what means brexit will be around for decades yet, as what happens in the UK will for a long time be both judged against neighbouring EU countries but also create legal issues of compliance regarding trade.
its also what makes the border issue never ending

to bring it to the present, thing i read recently in the FT with numerous Tory sources suggests the Tories are on pause at the moment over the Irish border, stringing it along a bit, and kicking it into next year, as there's just too much shit hitting fans at home at the moment and they dont want to "ruin christmas" with an article 16 trade war in the middle of that

btw Mogg said “The overwhelming opportunity for Brexit is over the next 50 years.”

 

[Chilli.s]

TBH 50 years to get back to where we were does look quite likely

Eeee... it'll be just like it was in the 1950s. Round here it was all trees, that Bill Haley was top of the hit parade, and it were all no dogs, no Irish, no Blacks.

Well luckily it can't... so ha ha ha

No that's 70 years ago. 50 years Beatles have split up and people have spent a couple of winters discontent

Really? Winters (plural?) of discontent by 1971?

 

[Chilli.s]

I fondly remember the winter of discontent. We had a special candle that went on the kitchen table that we all sat round in the no power dark evenings.

you're getting confused between the winter of discontent and the winter of disco tent

Exactly, never underestimate the power of fudge. A one party state is just what some want, the party of the ruling class

I've never been that good at maths. It's like always say, the world is divided between three kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't.

...and when things got really bad, you'd actually light the candle

Europe is now enjoying riots. I need a new telly and a new pair of Louboutins and have been waiting patiently for the riots to start, and, well .... nothing.

I have some quite durable red paint and can "louboutinise" virtually any shoe you want, for a small price, in comparison

Not a single scientist has applied to a UK government visa scheme for Nobel prize laureates and other award winners since its launch six months ago, New Scientist can reveal. The scheme has come under criticism from scientists and has been described as “a joke”.

In May, the government launched a fast-track visa route for award-winners in the fields of science, engineering, the humanities and medicine who want to work in the UK. This prestigious prize route makes it easier for some academics to apply for a Global Talent visa – it requires only one application, with no need to meet conditions such as a grant from the UK Research and Innovation funding body or a job offer at a UK organisation.

The number of prizes that qualify academics for this route currently stands at over 70, and includes the Turing Award, the L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science International Awards, and various gongs awarded by professional or membership bodies both in the UK and elsewhere.

They're taking those 'here's the science bit' fake labs in their adverts a bit far arent they?
