Off Topic The Politics Thread

[Stroller]

Yeah, I know. But ‘Brextard’ suggests Leavers are in some way ******ed, doesn’t it, which isn’t particularly PC in this day and age?

It’s all a laugh, though, isn’t it?

Nobody really knows what’s what until we get there.

I hadn't thought of it in the sense of suggesting they are ******ed.

Just bastards.

Get the withdrawal agreement over the line - take the frigging backstop - the real dealing will start thereafter.
The EU will not be able to continue the blinder they have played so far in keeping everyone in check - latest from DFDS (a Top 30 Danish company)

Have you seen the M20 lately Staines? It’s in bits for 20-30 miles plus it’s concrete like the M25 section near us . Making it into a UK smart motorway! I am saying not sure that will be done before Oct

The bottom part of that near j8/9 is a contra flow so the coast bound carriageway can be used as a lorry park

Good grief cheers Kent
It took me ages to get through there the other week as came down to fish a match on Nickols Pit near Hythe
Some anglers from the north were late for the match and were spitting teeth about it

That was on a Sunday 7am

I thought the 25 was bad around Heathrow but that M20 takes the biscuit imo

As you know traffic flows like clockwork through France

The bottleneck will always be us I’m afraid Brexit or No Brexit

Add in the knock on effect to the roads it looks to me to be tough

Still all of us will need to just get on with it but I have zero faith in the UK road infrastructure anyway that’s a calamity we may all agree on?

Oh yeah, the roads are paved with gold in France .
No traffic jams, no violence, people always smile politely and say ‘hello’
.....wake up man and open your eyes, France is just as (if not more) **** than the UK

I know most of France and have been most places in the UK

Not sure you have been outside Staines much.

France on a world stage has to be right up there regarding roads and infrastructure. I don’t smile politely to anyone that would be false and too much like an English mask shrouded in a myth of English Manners

Difference is I get to see it all so outrank you ... I think I am the boss of you

Oh and the French play the best football and produce the worlds best footballers

Northern France yep not for me as I live the Mediterranean lifestyle

Oh where I am also is the hottest place in Europe over 365 days

English Cheese now that’s another story as is car prices

You really are a cock sometimes Paul.
You need to get a grip and come back to the real world. Your bizarre posts do you no credit mate

The traffic flows through France my hairy arse, I have spent many hours stuck in traffic jams in France no more than a few miles from Calais, in both directions on the A16 what’s known as the toll free corridor into Belgium, and more than a few hours on the la perephique around Paris and don’t even start on the ****ing roadworks around Rouen which by my calculations have been going on for several years, with closures at night with an unmarked or signposted detour causing chaos, and don’t even start me on all the roadworks down towards the Spanish border, don’t paint a picture of blissful motoring in France when you know in all honesty it’s no better than here.

I found this really fascinating: Hitchens P’s review of two books on Germany, but mostly one written by a German called Fischer for whom this was fairly recent history or current affairs at the time. Quite lengthy, but reveals quite a lot about quite consistent German political intentions.

You know he's better than all of us, has been to more places, done more and knows more.

It's a slightly distorted view from Macron's back passage...

Brexit Britain Wins $35 Billion Contract to Build Aussie Warships

You must log in or register to see images

Just breaking in Australia, possibly the biggest [HASHTAG]#DespiteBrexit[/HASHTAG] yet: British defence giant BAE Systems has won the tender to design and manage the construction of nine anti-submarine warships. The deal represents the biggest peacetime building programme in Australian naval history and is worth $35 billion, or £20 billion. It is being reported that the clincher was Gavin Williamson’s decision to send Royal Navy ships to Australia and the Pacific. Boom…
