Yeah but...blue passports....

The dozens of times I've used mine, nobody has ever looked at the cover - yet from some folk you'd think the blue cover worked magic.

Remember Iraq's "weapons of mass destruction"?

I do. At the time it was the US intelligence  services that relied on bogus information stating that Saddam had WMD which was later found out to be from a tip-off from an unreliable source who was in it for the money. That same intelligence information was then used to tip the decision made. I was most certainly against any war but people can only rely on the intelligence given to decide what follows.

The difference is now Boris is in a position of power and he can attempt to get changes to the Backstop or implement a no-deal.  

What world are you living in?

 

The EU will not change the backstop and no-deal has been prevented by an Act of Parliament.

 

Johnson has even less power than Theresa May had, and her ‘working’ majority of +4 is now a minority government of -21.

And lets face it, Cummings is de facto PM anyway...not even a Conservative.

A no deal has only been suspended and is still the default position if no extension or agreement by the EU is forthcoming. It has not been permanently prevented.

I tried to use mine at Folkestone yesterday. Nobody showed the slightest interest in it.

 

France is a very civilised place. I might not go home.

Now I know you’ve lost it. 

 

Exactly how much power does a man have who can’t control parliament, or call an election or get support from his brother

Best thing we ever did, retiring out here. Off in a few minutes to the local restaurant for a very good 3 course meal for 25 euros a head.

Are you likely to be turfed out in the event of a no deal brexit?

No, but it can be.

 

All this nonsense about it being ‘inevitable’, ‘the default position’ or whatever, it is not a natural disaster that we must prepare for. It is entirely of our making and can similarly be unmade! 🙄
