      It does surprise me somewhat. 1million is a very high number. Half that would have been my guess (though as we discussed in a different thread a few weeks ago, the number of people applying for settled status is not necessarily a reflection of the actual numbers residing in the UK)

        According to the BBC, Nandos are warning of shortages of chicken. Except in Northern Ireland and the Republic. They don't appear to be speculating as to why those two places should be OK, though.

          Brexit chickens went home to roost?

                  The best description of Ian Botham's appointment as trade advisor to Australia is that the UK Government is now a shitposting troll.

                  Comment


                    Dmitry Grozoubinski who is pretty sound on this sort of thing says that Botham is basically a goodwill ambassador and that there's no problem with the appointment as long as he doesn't actually start trying to negotiate.

                      "Now".

                        So the Government think it's OK for truck drivers to work even longer, more anti - social hours.

                        The race towards worker serfdom gathers pace.

                        As I've said on here before, I would never drive a truck in Britain. Conditions and treatment are appalling enough there as it is.

                          Next Liz Truss appointee will be a blacked-up Jim Davidson as "Chalky" as our trade envoy for the Caribbean.

                              I think every envoy is white, I'm trying to find the tweet of this.

                                  And Kate Hoey will fulfil the same rôle with Ghana.

                                        It's like the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, when they put all the useless bastards in the one spaceship and got rid of them.

                                          That doesn't end well for anyone

                                            This crack squad of trade talent has to compensate for the loss of Prince Andrew from a similar role so those are pretty big shoes to fill.

                                            What's the real perk that Johnson's assorted hench-people are getting as their loyalty bonus here? A couple of junkets to their country of interest or is there more?

                                              It feels a bit like a legacy of empire. Sending loud, unwanted, incompetent people off to far-flung outposts to do jobs for which they are eminently unqualified in order to not have Kate Hoey making a nuisance of herself at home.

                                                  No milkshakes at McDonald's in England, Wales and Scotland. Supplies are fine in Northern Ireland.

                                                    This lot are definitely the descendants of the Golgafrincham B Ark passengers and crew.
