The Politics Thread

Lol what a mug

 

Brexit has stopped freedom of movement?

 

Not being in the EU means not being able to breeze through passport control like EU nationals can

This is one of main reasons I voted Remain (that and I knew the Tories would **** everything up): back in 2006 I went on a work trip to France, and while most of our group strolled through passport control one of the group didn't as she's Bulgarian and they hadn't joined the EU yet, and by the time the rest of us had collected our bags, grabbed a much-needed coffee (as our flight left at 6am) and rented a ****ing car, she was just about clearing customs - and while I don't expect anyone to experience something that hellish personally (barring the possibility/probability of a passport officer in Paris, Dublin or Malaga relishing the opportunity for some petty vengeance) what I do expect is things will get ugly when a 99% of the passengers on a Ryanair flight to Magaluf are stuck at immigration for an hour or so while the 1% of passengers who are EU nationals stroll through passport control right next to them

 

Which beggars the question.....will there be stops either side of the Channel Tunnel when (if?) using Eurostar?

 

A similar question can be asked of this week's de Pfeffel vanity project, namely the bridge from Scotland to Northern Ireland

 

Actually you southern dwelling bastard it could be a huge boost to the economies of an Independent Scotland and a United Ireland. Even now it would be the border with the EU so it make sounds economic sense, unless of course if you live in Croydon.

Why would you live in Croydon actually Croydon could do with a bridge starting at Norbury and finishing at Purley.

 

Let me know when David Baddiel or Rachel Riley make any mention of this...

37 minutes. It used to take my mate 40 minutes to get into work from Tottenham.

 

I saw this too.
The OED should adopt this as the definition of irony.

 

I bet the City fans who voted for Brexit are pleased too

 

Well that's an awkward thing for their gobshite owner to have to admit...

 

Andrew Sabisky has resigned from his role at Downing Street, due to his past comments.
The racist, sexist, white supremacist, eugenicist is the son of Len McCluskey's finance director, apparently. Strange.

 

Apparently it was surprised that, when Dominic Cummings called for "weirdos and misfits", he didn't mean cuddly eccentrics and actually meant the living embodiment of Toby Young's tweets

 

On this day one year ago, a bunch of MPs whose constituents never saw them unless there was an election on thought they would break away and create a new voice in British politics

One year on, and they're pouring your latte at Starbucks

 

“I took drugs on several occasions at social events more than 20 years ago” - Michael Gove.
He used to. He still does, but he used to, too.

George Osbourne definitely hasn't, though:

 

Too late.
