Like in Scottish hotels they dont serve a full English. They serve a full Scottish, which is the same thing plus a packet of oatcake or porridge on the table.

Looking at the papers today you'd think it was all the meaniepie Europeans fault. But then I heard Johnson talking about the negotiations and it's clear he has been promoted above his competency level. He insisted at the end that everything would be really really great for the UK but it sounded desperate.

I may have refused to watch televised news for 18 months but thanks to twitter I'm still losing my will to understand this process.
I know I shouldn't expect much from our present "government", especially after the last nine months, but as Imp has said here or elsewhere I still expected them to muster up some of that "Great Britsih Common Sense" they claim OUR SAINTED NATION possesses
I might not be losing the will to understand if I could see a hint of contrition or humility but minister after minister cannot help but imply that nothing is their party's fault. They may have called referendum that produced an inconclusive result and manipulated the aftermath but this situation is not of their making oh no.
Today Raab felt able to brush aside the Tory quotes mentioned by Marr (quotes that directly contradict their present position) to blame the EU for "moving the goalposts". It's refreshing to know that in spite of OUR SAINTED NATION spending 50 years as the member of an organisation our present "government" still isn't sure of the organisation's position or its approach to negotiations.
If they were up for the challenge OUR SAINTED NATION's negotiating team could have scoured twitter for free advice about the negotiating process, For example I saw a clip of a Spanish politician speaking on Sky News earlier today. Apparently a trade deal is more about managing interdependence than asserting independence, apparently people will be able to work out that you're acting as A SAINTED INDEPENDENT NATION when they see you trying to negotiate a trade deal with an organisation that you'd left in a high profile manner 11 months earlier.Last edited by Kowalski; 14-12-2020, 17:27.

The BBC pretends that "balance" means you can't call a lie a lie. The inevitable outcome of this is that lying becomes the only mode of government. It's like the broadcaster is in permanent Falklands-era propaganda mode.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 13-12-2020, 21:03.

Laura Kuennsberg and Robert Peston would ensure it was spotless and there were great images of Johnson with rubber gloves
Andrew Marr here, interrupting Ed Miliband every time he takes a breath, and quite often when he doesn't

He should come here and say that.
On the topic of less informed english commentators venturing into Irish subjects, Youtube thinks I want to watch Owen Jones Lick Mary lou mcDonald's arse for 42 minutes in his latest podcast. Maybe youtube has overheard me saying "Owen Jones has the mind and judgement of a reasonably bright 13 year old" and drawn the wrong conclusions.
