        Jim Ratcliffe demonstrates his commitment to Brexit by moving to Monaco.

          "Petrochemicals magnate" is a really weird way to spell "arsehole".

            I don't know, seems to be fairly standard to me.

              He already packed his Land Rover Defender nostalgia wankfest factory off to France.

                  Precisely what it deserves.

                      Can they not be struck off or something?

                        We need Eggy for the rule in England and Wales

                        It wouldn't be a clear enough case for the New York Bar (as illustrated by the fact that Rudy Giuliani is still a member in good standing).

                            In theory, barristers are supposed to support the rule of law and the integrity of the Courts, and not advise their clients to embark on a criminal basis.

                            In practice, I doubt the Bar Council has the guts to act as the attack on the rule of law is bad enough without loading the gun further....


                            I see the car industry is fucked as car parts from Japan and Turkey, which get imported and built in "British made cars", aren't going to be counted as British, so exporting said cars may be at a higher tariff. This also potentially fucks EVs as batteries are not included either, and the UK makes Nissan Leafs and MINI EVs.

                                Have we done this one as part of that?

                                "EC President to issue legal action against UK for breaching obligations under the withdrawal agreement"

                                So. "WTO minus" looms then.

                                  This was always going to happen. The Brexit headbangers knew very well it would happen, and that it would give them something to get good and performatively angry about, to further rile up the fucking idiots who continue to insist that Brexit is a good idea.

                                        The Secret Barrister and David Allen Green have gone full bore at Braverman and Buckland, for all the good it will do.

                                          It enables them to repeat the words "grooming gangs" 3 more times and there is no doubt how their supporters will read it. As you say, this is who they are and they and their supporters should be confronted at every opportunity.

                                              a voicferous campaign for victims of grooming gangs is easily misread

                                              I bet that wording wasn't agreed, and If i were ms Shah's lawyer I would demand a further apology
