Ha ha who was that ?

Was it the covid restrictions that put the kibosh on that ?

Yeah otherwise hundreds of thousands of the right sort of people would have taken to the streets and rioted in the way only militant liberals can riot.

Great shame I would have loved to have seen EU Supergirl , the ' Jeanne d'Arc of Post-Modernism' and 'Une superheroine au service de l'europe' , go out on her shield.



I was half hoping she might have come up with a ditty about the EU vaccine.

Fuck that’s awful. She should change Leave to Biden and sing it in the US.

It's the kind of music that brings a swift end to a generally terrible night at the local. Once the EU have forgotten who she is she can be deployed to clear pubs in a less confrontational manner, than the more traditional earpiece and black puffa jacket approach

At least a duke box can't deliver a finger-wagging lecture on the lack of information surrounding customs or the length of the passport queue at Riga airport, I suppose.

Or maybe more appropriately “Tom, Tom, Turnaround” by New World?

I think that's a valiant effort but it's very hard to get any sort of decent anthem to include the lyrics 'they commited electoral fraud' without having your artistic licence endorsed

Trump missed a trick by not signing her. She had a song ready to go.

No it’s consistent throughout his posts. What about the musos and BTW you are all bigots and stupid.

When did #editor call you stupid and a bigot. He asked the same question further down the thread. I note you have declined to qualify your statement. Quick to jab an accussasional finger, slow to qualify it is how you come across.

I am summarising and paraphrasing 5 years of his posts on Brexit. He has insulted leave voters consistently.

Complete dishonesty seems to be the order of the day, but I think as in many other things that's SOP for this government.

He makes 14 points. Only one refers to article 16 getting enacted last week. He minimises it in a way that rather undermines his other points however true.
“Against that background: yes, EU was clumsy & insensitive to propose, albeit quickly retract, idea of "vaccine border".

And that justifies calling him a bigot. Somebody who is blindly obstinate in favour of their own cause. Kinda reminds me of your posts of the last 5 years. If the cap fits...

Who called him a bigot? I think your fan girl bit has caused you to misread.

Even the slipperiest politician would be embarrassed by that vague, obfuscating non-answer. Which is a lie, too.

Oh, a gender insult. Classy.

Well when you read the papers today looking for another meme or article to condemn “brexiteers” you might want to read up on last Fridays events regarding the EU and Ireland.

To simply say you don’t know enough to comment makes you look dishonest.

Last Friday was a terrible move by the EU. I said it at the time and I'll say it again. It would not have happened if we were in a union of nations collaboratinge with them. It is a consequence of your shitty brexit and a worrying look at things to come. You have no moral victory on this.

The EU did an bad thing though so that makes everything fine and brexit unequivocally good?

 

[Flavour]

That is absolute bollocks, sorry. Did we make the EU nasty by leaving it? Was it nice before we left? Or is this just the first time that you open your eyes to what a bunch of massive cunts the EU can be, now that their ire is turned on Britain? When it was Greece however... bunch of tax-dodging greasy-haired "southern Europeans" innit, need a dose of good old Northern European common sense fiscal responsibility.

Live animal exports on hold because of Brexit The Guardian reports this morning. Although I happily eat meat I think we owe animals good husbandry and sending them alive, abroad in trucks is unacceptable.

Juicy quote from the above.
“Royle added that the government consultation was having an additional chilling effect. He said it was “pretty clear” the UK government wanted to end the trade for fattening and slaughter”.

We didn't make them anything they look after the own. Not sure why you are throwing racist remarks around about Greece but it's not a good look.
