Suspect Device Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Brexit reporting is indeed a farce. https://www.express.co.uk/travel/articles/921801/pound-euro-exchange-rate-Brexit All good news apparently 3 hours ago. https://www.poundsterlinglive.com/gbp-live-today/8556-pound-sterling-today-unemployment-and-all-important-wage-growth-dominates Or maybe not. Of course you've got to bear in mind the swivel eyed loonies in charge of the editorial stance of The Express which makes me more inclined to believe the other report. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 That fact was played in the media as if she was an MP at the time which she wasn't,but itwas an odd and poorly judged confession to make. Angus tories a breed apart ! My MP in the late 60s early 70s was Jock Bruce Gardyne a well heeled Angus tory. To be fair we plebs were allowed to run amok in the grounds of his ancestral home on our annual Sunday school picnic so kudos for that concession Jock. Lifetime ago and a different world. Well before my time [emoji38]It was Bill Walker I remember Mike Weir who lost to the blonde fuckwit was an excellent constituency MP, even if you don't agree with his politics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Walker was a wee grey haired arsehole as i remember. Jock Gardyne was old school.Even showed us round the Commons in 73 while we were on a primary school visit. Proper gent he was although he would have had us up chimneys in a second i reckon. Andrew Welsh was my lecturer early 80s he was ok for a Nat. Think he was "between jobs" Westminster wise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 From PM’s questions. PM: 'Absolutely right UK chooses own passport colour' Tory MP Chris Green asks whether the PM can ensure new post-Brexit passports will be manufactured by a British company. The PM says it is "absolutely right" the UK will be deciding the "colour of passports we want, not the EU wants" after Brexit. That really is the level of thinking of these c***s. Despicable, despicable, little Englander mentality c***s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of British company manufacturing the new passports but because of a misunderstanding or a problem with the dyes, they all come out burgundy in colour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside you make some good posts granny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Why did the majority of farmers vote for Brexit anyway? They need the labour and don't they get massive subsidies from the EU? I can kind of understand the fishermen up here voting to leave, they naively think they'll be able to fish the seas dry after we leave. Never understood the farmers though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They think if there's a war on everyone's wives will be sent to work on their land while the real menfolk are storming beaches, again. Getting to bribe the widows of the fallen with a sack of Jersey Pinks for a rumble in the hay loft is pretty much every rural landowners wet dream. That and they are universally thick as absolute f**k, yet somehow experts at tax avoidance. Which is pretty much the tory archetype. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've hated the EU forever cause rules regulations standards etc make them jump through all sorts of hoops. Though they benefit greatly from it and a cynic would say they're just annoyed they can't sell us pigshit etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despicable, despicable, little Englander mentality c***s. Fully agree with the sentiment behind both posts, but I have to admit I had a mild chuckle at the juxtaposition of these two posts. "I saw this news article about the impact Brexit might have on the seasonal labour pool for the agricultural industry, and it had me a bit concerned. Dave, what do you think?" "Who cares? British bureaucrats get to choose our own passport colour instead of some bloody Brussels bureaucrats!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43136076 Theresa May and her senior ministers will try to hammer out a deal over the government's approach to Brexit when they meet at her country retreat. 20 months after the Brexit vote and just over a year to the implementation date and that is an accurate and valid headline. What a complete and utter shambles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a complete and utter shambles. I can probably predict the outcome of this one already. Hammond, Rudd, May etc. will want a transitional deal where we still have access to parts of the membership (for a few years at least) Gove, Johnson, Davis and Fox will want some hard brexit ("making Britain great again" type deal) Monday morning - back to square one. The EU must be p*ssing themselves laughing at the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
