bob the tank Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I sat and watched a man bare faced lying live on television this morning, and some of the committee who were supposed to be grilling him were actually trying to give him some wiggle room and provide him with excuses for the shite he was blethering.

Quote I am not a fan of economic models because they have all proven wrong when you have a paradigm change, the usefulness of [sectoral] impact assessments would be near zero”. There you have it.

The only reasonable assumption for trying to keep the information secret is that it suggests the country will be worse off. *************** Poor performances by Corbyn & Blackford at PMQT!

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Now we have Hammond saying that the final Brexit deal has never been discussed by the cabinet. Is this some alternate reality I've woken up in? He's also saying the 'Brexit Bill' will be paid regardless of a trade deal or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I think this regulation alignment is similar to the following: "We have decided to invite you on stage to sing your own songs." "That's great." "The only thing is, we will be singing our songs at the same time, so your songs will have to use the same words, music and tempo as ours or it won't work." "So how exactly will these be my songs." "Well we will say our songs are our songs and your songs are your songs even if they are totally identical." "Oh well, in that case, take back control, let's do it!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Can the OP or a Mod please change the thread title from "Brexit slowly becoming a Farce" to "Brexit: the Biggest Omnishambolic Catastrofuck of the Modern Age"?

Scary Bear Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The other two-thirds won't admit it. Interviewer: "Hello Leave voter, are you a disgusting racist?"Leave Voter 1: "I'll tell you what, John, I am a bit racist now you mention it."I'd say a fair few were pretty thick as well, going on those recent vox pop interviews with the good people of Barnsley.As a Leave voter, I must be in the 'won't admit it' camp. I don't feel particularly racist or dislike Johnny Foreigner and think he's trying to steal my job, but there's probably some subconscious racism lurking there. I think I'm more an anti-state type. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 It sounds like the 58 'Impact Assessments' were a bit like Homer Simpson's report on the nuclear plant's accounting department. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
