But it could be fun if we have to sign up to an "asymmetric" trade deal with the EU so Scotland vaults over to the other side and takes advantage.

Hmm. He’s no longer just a concerned observer with no axe to grind, he’s head of a think tank that seems to be positioning as a pan UK Better Together. Him and Tom Holland will probably genuflect before the statue of that bastard Carson when they try and give Belfast the benefit of their superior Sensible Knowledge. Apart from being an idiot even going near the North (but he has a Catholic prof writing for him! She’s a real live Nordie Catholic! And also a Professor! (See Holland’s erstwhile pals Prof Jill Stephenson and Mad Prof Tom Gallagher whose frothy anti Islamic pro Brexit anti Nattery pretty much sunk Scotland In Union before it started- I’d say a lot of donors have switched cheque books to These Islands) and talking about the Positive Union, as a Dirty Brit especially, being fucking Madness, it reeks off smugness and a BritNattery they are blind to. All this shared history bollocks, the examples they give of why we should be Proud are so fucking fuzzy, and could be applied with equal relevance to the Free South.
If the projections don’t suit the agenda, after a while I can see him doing a reverse ferret on Gers, OBR reports, whatever fucks up his spreadsheet. Going Full Wings for the Butcher’s Apron.Last edited by Lang Spoon; 01-11-2017, 20:48.

Originally posted by Alderman Barnes View PostI happened to watch the BBC news last night, where they were breathlessly reporting that dairy farmers are really excited about selling all their milk to Dubai and China. That'll be China, where everyone's lactose intolerant. Another great thing, apparently, is that the Chinese prefer to make deals with single countries, rather than large blocs. I wonder why that is.
Is the BBC always like that these days?

They're not all lactose intolerant.

"Bercow says that Commons could find the Government in contempt of the House if It ignores the motion now passed unanimously" "asked by Sarah Wollaston, Bercow suggests he'd expect that Government should act on this motion within a few days"
think this is the end. They can't piss about any longer. May is very close to implosion. People who know what's in the documents know how serious it is. So does the City. Hammond has no money. And the next meeting with Barnier is more or less the last at which anything substantial can happen .

Interesting, well for me, to note how Brexit is also a concern in Switzerland. There are currently talks between the EU and Switz, Juncker is due in the country this month, on progressing on a consolidated agreement to replace the bilateral packages (I&II) and the still influential ex-foreign minister Calmy-Rey considers a break would be strategically advantageous to the country. There is a concern that the EU can not be seen to be more accomodating with Switzerland, which is quite possible as relations are quite cordial at the moment (Swiss negotiators are really good at their job) and it would also suit the EU, allowing them to concentrate on Brexit (and indeed all the other issues concerning the union). Those Brexiters using Switzerland as a model really fail to understand how far reaching the relationship between the EU and Switzerland is, considering it grew out of the EEA referendum rejection. They should be sent on a compulsory visit of Basel and the "Regio Basilensis" where the border, for people, between CH, FR and DE is now non-existent, publics transport fully integrated across the three countries and economically in very good shape...

Fuck sake guess he lives round Kilmarnock now. That they pass off the QT shit pile as a Scottish production, classic bit of production accounting sleight of hand. Back in the days of Pre-Devolutionary Oppresssion, you had a far more robust Scottish media than now.
Back when I were a lad we had Open to Question on bbc before Question Time, as Sportscene once nudged out MOTD. If milquetoast lefty Unintentional Partridge Gerry Hassan is to be believed, representative as well as administrative devolution meant BBC and Stv dumped their Scottish as fuck political discussion shows post Holyrood settlement, lest Nat propaganda got on screen. Which has had almost a deleterious effect on the quality of Scottish political debate as the collapse of print media. Thank fuck for The Ferret online (and gtf with Commonspace’s idiot blaming of the EU for not supporting a Molt Mal Catalan UDI).Last edited by Lang Spoon; 04-11-2017, 01:51.

So what's so amusing, Luke? that the pounds lost 20 per cent of its value? That having scraped a majority in the referendum the Brexiteers haven't the fainitest idea of what to do? that fruit is rotting in the fields? That racist attacks on EU Citizens are increasing? do share the joke.
