It might be devastating if a couple of others are prepared to stand with him, but if he stands alone then he'll be far more easily dismissed as a bad loser remoaner who walked because he's not getting his way. Ideally it would require someone of Hammond's stature to really undermine May.

Oh Christ, Stanley fucking Johnson is on newsnight. So this whole Brexit thing has moved from being a row in the Tory Party, to being a row in one fucking family.
Go on, ask the fucker the appropriate question. Is Boris the result of Nature or Nurture? "Is Boris the result of your rotten genes, or your terrible parenting?"

Originally posted by johnr View PostI found out yesterday that there are around 210 inhabited islands that go to make up the British Isles.
Anguilla is an island that relies heavily on neighbouring (10 miles away) and much bigger Dutch-French St Maarten/St-Martin island for food, healthcare, services, goods etc., and even tourism (as St Maarten/St-Martin’s main resource is tourism so they pick trade up from them). Needless to say, Brexit is a huge headache for them, they’re very worried and wonder if London hasn’t forgotten them.
Poor buggers, I don’t want to break it to them but the Tories don’t give a stuff about the 1.2 million UK citizens in EU27, they've shafted the Windrush people so never mind 15,000 Black people 5,000 miles away.
I mean, the Anguillan representative to the UK and EU interviewed by Cathy Newman in that YT clip said that when she went to London to talk to the various gvt departments they depend on, the fuckers didn’t even know Anguilla had a border with 2 EU countries… "They [gvt people] have been on a steep learning curve" she says. No kidding. And some of them are pretty special needs, eg Raab who confessed a few days ago that he "hadn’t quite understood the full extent to which the UK is reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing".

Keith Connor was also born there but moved to the UK at the age of 7, whereas Cardigan did not come until he was 18.

In a place like Anguilla, that distinction will correlate strongly with skin colour.
Anguilla is more than 85 percent Black.
