All the herring we can eat, all the oil and gas we can burn, all the insurance you can afford.
You cynic Stan, just wait and think of all the opportunities we can have when we tell the Dutch and Germans to piss off because, we just signed a trade deal with Bourkina Faso and Kiribati.
Everywhere needs insurance and financial advice Toots. The world is our lobster.
Are you flying, good luck. I hope they dont call their 15th strike.?
Today's French air traffic control (ATC) strike, the 14th this year and expected to last until 5am GMT (4am UTC) on September 16, has affected hundreds of flights to, from and over France, including the cancellation of 94 Ryanair flights. EasyJet, Aer Lingus and British Airways all said flights would be affected
Ditherer May puts back Heathrow decision by another year, now its 50 years since they started talking about this.
MPs will now get a vote on the Brexit deal, but only when it's too late to change anything. **** knows what happens if it's rejected.
One region of one EU country (Wallonia in Belgium) has voted against the EU trade deal with Canada, scuppering the whole thing after 7 years of talks. So much for everyone doing what Germany (or more accurately BMW) wants.
Cabinet looking a fiasco, Johnson and Davies ganging up on poor 'Dr' Fox, refusing to rule out us remaining in the EU customs union, which we have to leave in order to be able to negotiate our own trade deals. If we do leave we have to grow our trade with our 10 biggest non EU trade partners by 37% by 2030 just to stand still in terms of trade. And GDP still drops by nearly 5%.* Hammond the only one speaking from a pro migration, pro EU trade perspective in Cabinet, the other remainders coughing and looking at their phones. This is what you get with a leaky 'open' cabinet.
May's trust in the team she selected is such that she will chair 4 out of 5 of the full cabinet committees (Cameron chaired 2). These include a new one on her favourite subject, Modern Slavery. The one on the Health & Social Care has been axed to make way for this. Because all is obviously well with the NHS and social services, not a priority.
Another May legacy, the farce that is the inquiry into child abuse, is not set to report until 2020, by which time I guess it will have cost at least tens of millions and nobody will be happy.
To cap it all ****ing Phil Collins is making a comeback.
* figures from papers considered at cabinet Brexit committee. Presumably drawn up by experts, so can be ignored. Just like you would ignore advice from a heart surgeon on your heart problems.

As it happens I am a fan of hats, much to my childrens' embarrassment. And you are right, we need more. ****ing Tories.

I'm confused about these over age asylum seekers. I know a lot of those claiming to be kids aren't, because a friend of mine fostered an Afghan lad who was meant to be 16 but turned out to be 22. He nicked her work laptop and disappeared. Don't know if he was caught.
In this rush to clear the 'jungle', why didn't we prioritise the youngest first? Surely they need help fastest?
It is difficult to tell people's ages though. I'm regularly mistaken for a 35 year old*.

I have an alternative and cunning plan, which is to ignore it and say it's somebody else's problem. Anybody seen Imaz?
