I've been enjoying, a a gallows humour kind of way, watching the Japanese diplomats this week saying "what the fuck are you doing?" in as many different ways as possible.

Take that, traitor Corbyn.
Don't pay anything, (presumably) repeal the European Communities Act and the Irish question is simple. Cede Northern Ireland.

Interesting population statistics too. Seems to be taking 2004 as his base.
Is he trying to insinuate there's 8 million Poles here? I think he is.
edit- I've no idea what he's talking about.Last edited by Tubby Isaacs; 31-08-2017, 18:25.

There seems to be a concerted effort by shady god knows who funds them U.K. Think tanks to keep Irexit on the agenda in the Irish media. Of course, the useless Irish Times (think they published some utter bollocks from former "professor" from den of cunty West Brit MBAs Smurfit Business school Ray Kinsella) are loving this click bait bullshit (y'know, for Balance). Support for an Irish exit barely exists here, but we do have a lot of fucking idiots left and right, and I wonder how shallow the affection for the EU is, especially if folk keep getting reminded of Losing their Sovereignty in the bailout. If the Mail and Indo started pivoting to Irexit, I'd worry there's just enough cunts for it to almost become spoken of seriously.

Spain's interesting there. No "those tourists are money".
Spoony, it really doesn't take much money at all to fund a think tank. It's the "both sidesism" that you rightly decry that do the bulk of their work in terms of public exposure for nothing (in fact, they actually PAY the muppets).

This is what Brexit is all about.

Sales of vacuum cleaners producing more noise and heat than suction are restricted under EU rules from today.
Vacuum cleaners using more than 900 watts and emitting more than 80 decibels will be banned when stocks run out."Without EU energy efficiency rules, the UK market risks getting flooded with inefficient and cheap imports from China which waste more energy and break easily due to lower standards."
UKIP's Roger Helmer said: "By all means let's make pathetic under-powered vacuum cleaners for export to the EU.
"But we must retain the right to make and use sensible full-powered appliances in the UK. This shows why we must not agree to be bound by EU rules after Brexit."

Not that The Times can be relied on after this week but it's saying the Tories have agreed a £50bn Brexit bill.
Might be trying to do May a favour by setting up a "triumphant" negotiation down to £40bn, but striking nonetheless.
Caroline Flint is worried about Brexit getting too soft.

David Davis the other day did a fervent ode to free trade for an audience of American businessmen, I see. They'll have liked the sound of that. Probably enjoyed the Q&A even more: Davis banged on about his innovative solution for the Irish border and an executive from FedEx called him out for bullshit.
"Can we have this guying in charge of our trade deal too?" they must have thought.
