    I worked for a trawler company when I left school. It was said that the deckhands would have sex with skate as the genitals of the female are more or less identical to humans.

    Let's hope Boris the Spaffer Johnson gets jailed for refusing to ask for an extension. He'll be over a barrel in the yard. They'll make his brown eye blue.

    Call me weird, but one of the highlights of a woman's vagina, is that it's attached to a woman's body. And not a fish's.

    I'm pretty sure this goes under the urban myth category!

    I really cannot see how any male would get any kind of satisfaction from the genitals of a bloody fish!

    Nigel Farage walks into a pub and says, "I'll have a pint of beer, please." The barman pours a pint, then throws it all over Farage.

    'What did you do that for?' says Farage.

    'Because you're in a metaphor which illustrates the stupidity of asking for something, but not stipulating how you wanted it delivered. '

    'OK then... I'll have a pint -- this time in a glass!' says Farage.

    'You can't ask again!' said the barman.

    'Why not?' sniveled Farage.

    'Democracy.' says the barman.

    Professor Michael Dougan of Liverpool University very recently joined Twitter, and here is his contribution to the "get over it" debate this morning. Worth reading, not that the entrenched leavers would read past the introduction.

    "Got a nice (well, angry and abusive, actually) email to finish my working day, including the golden oldie: "Leave won. So why don't you just get over it?" Very happy to answer that one. Here's a brief summary of my main reasons for not "just getting over it":

    1) Brexit is a profound act of long term national diminishment - squandering our leadership in Europe and through it much of our influence in the wider world...

    2) Brexit is one of the largest and most far-reaching decisions, by any population in modern history, to disenfranchise itself from a vast range of rights and freedoms, protections and safeguards – not least against its own future governments...

    3) The 2016 referendum and its ongoing aftermath have succeeded in making a mockery of the UK as a mature and responsible democracy. The precedent of rewarding systematic political dishonesty is terrible. The self-inflicted damage to our reputation and standing is shocking...

    4) Brexit remains a vast distraction, a huge waste of time and energy and money and resources – all of which are being poured – not into trying to improve our country and the lives of its people – but simply into trying to limit the damage of Brexit itself...

    5) Treatment of EU citizens in UK / UK citizens in EU27 is one of the great scandals of modern Britain. The uncertainty and anxiety –plus public slander and private hostility– forced upon millions of people is quite simply a dark stain upon the moral conscience of this nation...

    6) Though has to be said: risking the achievements and stability of hard won peace in Northern Ireland - in many cases, not even giving the slightest damn about the consequences for my homeland and its lovely people - is another contender for that particular crown...

    7) Offering inspiration for (and of course drawing its main international support from) the forces of illiberal authoritarianism (the Trumps, the Bolsonaros and let's not forget the Putins) who are on the march right across the Western world...

    Plenty of others, of course. And shouldn't be too surprised: that's what happens when you take a reasonably well-run and stable country (whatever its faults) and chose to throw it into utter turmoil on the back of the lies and fantasies of a gang of populist hard right charlatans

    And that, dear Leave correspondent, is why I won't "just get over it". Plus the fact that I'm a sentient being, concerned about my country and its closest friends, able and entitled to form and advocate opinions, without being bullied into silence by PEOPLE WHO USE CAPS A LOT."

    The only thing to add is this.... Amen.”

    It's brilliant that a Norwich fan has quoted that without realising what Godders is referring to <laugh>

    Johnson just hasn’t got a clue about the reality of life as experienced by ordinary people and never will have.

    Hopefully people will confront him with that reality, everywhere he goes.

    I loved his statement, in front of the cameras, that “there are no press here”. Lying comes as easily to him as breathing

    I also like that he doesn’t know how to react to the confrontation, because unlike when he is with the press, a member of the public won’t let him go on one of his bullshit, arm swinging rhetorics looking to distract and gain a laugh.
    I am waiting for someone to chin him, tbh.
    I would be tempted, simply because he wants to put my wife’s life further at risk by slowing or even stopping medication from reaching her, and other sick people, in order for it to be effective.
