The big Brexit thread - news, updates and discussion

We're the stupidest people in the whole fucking world. Even Americans would laugh at us if they knew who we were.

Humanity is stupid, not just us. It's that really bad type of stupid as well, where we think we're really clever.

Don't get me wrong, humanity as a whole usually has the collective intelligence of fog, but there's no getting away from it: we let's-face-it-the-English people are thick as an abandoned truck of mince. A nation that doesn't believe in consequences.

Baron Moore of Etchingham has a plan. Who wants to eat green things anyway.

Oh my god. Spare us these old twats ranting on about how things used to be in the 'good old days.'

On which note, time to wheel this one out again:

Not everyone has a government made up of stupid people who are focussed singlemindedly on appeasing the stupidest people in the country though.

Seafood for Christmas simply isn't a British thing. They'll really struggle to offload that lot.

I know loads that have to suffer a frozen lobster Christmas starter.

 

[TopCat]

Seeing how so many have issues with just cooking a turkey, changing it to lobster, langoustine or shellfish will be a disaster?


I'd be more than happy though

You are the wrong sort of fish eater apparently.

Prawn cocktail

If only we had some kind of system where goods didn't travel long distance in individual units each accompanied by a driver. Maybe some kind of system where you make big line of those units, 20 or 30 of them at a time, and then a machine at the front with just one driver that pulls them all. And it would be designed such that the machine could be easily swapped at places like borders. So you could move large quantities of stuff with hardly any need for plague carrying humans to cross borders at all. You could invent this system, say, 200 years ago, and then not abandon most investment in its infrastructure, say, about 40 years ago. You could build a Channel Tunnel perfectly capable of carrying this system, and then not spend the past 30 years failing to invest in making efficient use of it.

My plan to build a canal under the English Channel is still ready to go. In fact, it would be a lot easier now that there's a tunnel that could be partially flooded with readily available seawater. The first barges could be leaving in a matter of days. And arriving in a matter of weeks.

Tinned cat food is going to be quality next year.

By about March that'll be what we're all reduced to eating

Grayling to secure the barges?

 

[TopCat]

Which cunts the scottish Fishermen? I thought the fishermen were the goodies

The fish brokers. They screw the fisher people and sell the fish abroad cos profits.

FFS. How many more horses have to die before you'll give up on the Chaqueduct?

I don't even like horses, I just think it's unnecessarily cruel to send them down there knowing full well that they'll be hit by a train.

This is just silly. nobody knows what to do with a lobster round here it doesn’t even look like food.
Have you been to Lidl yet.

The French love a good horse, tastes great with a bit of garlic.

If its not a Cod, Whelk or Eel the British don't want to know about it. Especially if its not got a blue passport.

We don't need horses. The barges will be powered by cutting edge yak treadmill technology.

I know what to do with a lobster.

I am scared of reports of panic buying. Waitrose in Beckenham has hundreds queuing. Remainers only signs have not diminished the numbers.

Anyway I am just finishing my coffee and will get off my arse soon.

 

[splonkydoo]

All these fools giving out about a lack of winter veg have obviously never savoured the taste snails. Snails, and locally foraged mushrooms, with a lash of beef drippings on top #levelingup

This is a big lie.

 

[Artaxerxes]

This is a big lie.

Your right, any passport is acceptable as long as the fish has enough bread and looks good in a suit.

I was thinking in relation to the times I've been with family in France. Mussels, oysters, scallops, prawns and crab. Not so much the lobsters.

Roast Turbot would go well.

as long as kippers are available i'd be happy

 

[seeformiles]

Big queues outside Waitrose when I drove past it this morning . I went to Aldi and, while it was a bit busier than usual, no-one appeared to be panic buying and I was in and out in 10 mins. The Waitrose queue didn’t seem to have moved one jot as I went past on the way home.

 

[gentlegreen]

kippers will shortly be compulsory.

Splendid isolation , at last!

Whats this then, everyone being assembled Just in case magically a deal is reached in the final heroic days ?
