    The European Council conclusions are as constant as John Le Carre's titular gardener:

          And they're trying to avoid using the words "No Deal" by replacing them with "Australia's terms". I bet someone at No 10 almost wanked themselves into unconsciousness when they came up with that one.

            Someone in No 10 has evidently been reading Schrodinger lately:

                What a fucking triumph. What an absolute fucking triumph. Do you reckon the 52% of fuckwits would have voted for Brexit if we'd told them chocolate was going to cost 21% more? Or bacon sarnies 15% more? Tomatoes 14% more? Or BMWs 10% more? Would they fuck.

                  Yes, if they were told it was going to keep out the forrins.

                    I've no idea how much BMWs cost. I see around 170k are sold in the UK each year. That's more than I'd have guessed. Still, I don't think a 10% price rise will affect that many people. Chocolate, now, that's a different kettle of ball games.

                      170k? Is that *new* BMWs? Blimey.

                          They knew what they voted for, every bit of needless tariff, regulation, hassle caused by this shit show will be accepted as a must to achieve 'sovereignity' and foreigners blamed for it...except when the USA impose on us whatever they wish, in that case it will be necessary compromise

                            I bet quite a few of those will be fleet cars and rentals.

                              They were told it would lead to price rises.

                              But Johnson et al said this was scaremongering and Project Fear.

                              It's obviously going to be someone else's fault.

                                Yes, it's the EU negotiating in bad faith. I thought everyone was on board with that self-evident truth.

                                  "We survived the blitz, we can survive a more expensive bacon sandwich", they will reply. Unaware that the blitz was, erm, imposed on us, while the expensive bacon sandwich is entirely self-inflicted and unnecessary.

                                      Are you saying that large parts of the English public of 2020 are perhaps not exactly as tolerant of hardship as those who lived through World War I, the Spanish Flu, the Great Depression, and the generally much shittier conditions of everyone nearly a century ago? How very dare you!

                                        I bet it's a busy Venn diagram intersection between the 'Blitz spirit will carry us through Brexit' and 'Masks are freedom killers and I'll do what I want'...

                                          The "blitz spirit" was largely a myth anyway. Crime apparently soared (looting and black marketeering especally.)

                                                Getting the hump with the Church of England counts as a return to traditional Conservative values by the standards of this mob.

                                                    I visualised the caretaker of an abandoned theme park saying that. Which I suppose Johnson is, really.
