      Was this a photo of Johnson taken in an Italian airport?

        It might have changed, but when I was working in the Ag sector of government the Australian deal with the EU came with all sorts of caveats and regulations around environmental standards and the like. Surprised this is meant to be a good thing visa vi taking back control.

            Some platitudes from Barnier appear to have ended Johnson's faux huff:

                    The choice is therefore between a dynamic, flexible and open economy delivering higher living standards for all, and a pinched nationalism that clings to the past. Little England or Great Britain.
                    So they endorsed....

                        No. She was about 90. But good to see the Heilan Polis rushing to help the PSNI investigation

                          I'm guessing that countries desperate for tourists (Greece, Spain) will find a workaround and those that think Brits are a pain in the arse will apply the law stringently. OTOH I've know friends to be stuck in Rhodes arrivals for three hours even under current rules because UK is not in Schengen; smaller airports just aren't equipped to handle the flights they receive (whereas taking an international flight to Athens then connecting to Rhodes after clearing immigration has always been a breeze).

                            These fucking adverts from the government I keep hearing featuring ridiculous cred regional accents saying if you're a business or just a person who wants to do business with, or just even dare visit Europe as a person in 2021 then you better fucking smile and get on with it cos it's going to bloody happen whether it's totally bloody ridiculous or not...

                            How much did they pay Hans Zimmer or a cheap, brexity replacement wannabee Hans Zimmer for the music?

                              Would be easier for businesses to get on with it if there were a working customs system, say. Also this

                                            Yep. Literally everyone who didn't start pushing for a second referendum the day after the first one has their share of blame in this.

                                              John Major's lecture is excellent, ranging from global geopolitics, to how Brexit diminishes the UK's international standing, and the internal consequences for the Union.

                                                    To be honest though, that was the sort of thing Anna Soubry and Heidi Allen did for years in the Commons, except deliberately.
