The latest crazy nonsense to come out of Whitehall is that to appease Brexit voting farmers in the event of no deal, the government will buy 100,000 tonnes of British lamb at market rate to offset the zero tariff imports from abroad. They don’t however, have anywhere to store this meat so there are plans to burn it en masse like during the foot & mouth crisis. I tell you, these people seriously need to go to jail for what they are doing to our country. 😡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly getting out and about a lot. I expect the girlfriend is feeling a bit neglected, has she moved into number 10 with him yet? He's lost a by-election, the pound has tanked and he's been booed in Wales, NI and Scotland, splurged up £2.1bn on brexit prep and another £100m on marketing telling us how to cope if medicine runs out in the event of no deal. In 9 days. I have to ask, what's a bad start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought the Tories would have lost more votes, Libs can thank the lack of two mainstream parties that didn't put out a candidate and the Brexit party for splitting the Blue voters. As for medicines, its also good job the yearly flu jabs are in Sept/Oct for those that need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hauxwell Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) It looks as though Boris is working through his holidays, can’t say the same for most of the other MPs. He has also made time to visit Whaley Bridge to take a look at the damaged dam which must be reassuring to the locals. He could be on the campaign trail to, if there is going to be a general election. Edited August 3, 2019 by hauxwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The less well off will be eating cheap New Zealand lamb imported tax free, while British farmers will be wondering how long the government will continue to subsidise them before the money runs out.

You die hard Brexiteers need to get over it seriously. Leaving without a deal is not an option, people didn't vote for it and the country cannot afford it. Little message to the Prime Minister, that little dividend from the RBS created by tax payers money? its owed back to the community in services that they have missed out on for the last eleven years, not rassed up the wall on Brexit crap. Thank you. Just in case you conveniently forgot about that Tax payer owned company, here is a little reminder RBS hands Treasury £1bn in dividends as profits surge 10 hours ago, tinfoilhat said: He's lost a by-election, the pound has tanked and he's been booed in Wales, NI and Scotland, splurged up £2.1bn on brexit prep and another £100m on marketing telling us how to cope if medicine runs out in the event of no deal.

Events will determine the future anything could change in a short space of time. You must have heard the saying "A week is a long time in politics".

That he's even being considered is emblematic of the moral bankruptcy of the Government. It’s been interesting looking back at this thread. On 17/06/2019 at 17:11, Lockdoctor said: But, even if those allegations you make are true that doesn't back up your statement that Boris is unfit to lead anything because he was re-elected as Mayor of London. Why did the people of London who normally vote Labour re-elect the Tory Mayor Boris, if he was only very average? I reckon they must have been putting something in the drinking water!

It looks like Corbyn is in for a torrid time, the PM tore him a new backside. Long may it last. Angel1. I certainly hope so. He’s doing a great job isn’t he?
