You speak as a Remainer, happy to be dominated by the EU after Brexit. It's that domination, where we're governed by rules we do not make, that is pointless. Vassell state. Soft Brexit is the worst of all worlds.

Oxford Street: Men filmed spitting at Jewish people on bus - BBC News
I find this BBC article fascinating:
"An alleged anti-Semitic incident involving passengers on a bus in central London is being treated as a hate crime, the Met Police has said...Footage appears to show men spitting at and abusing people on the bus...In the video, a man seems to make a Nazi salute and others wave their shoes - an insult in some countries."
"Some racial slurs about Muslims can also be heard from inside the bus, which had been hired by a group of Jewish people celebrating the eight-day festival [of Hanukkah]."
Why is the BBC not allowed to say that the men were of Asian descent? Why did they only seem to be doing what you can see in the video? Why does the video only appear to show what you can see them doing when racial slurs can be heard from within a bus full of Jewish people?
Yeah, I know... innocent until proven guilty, eh? Gotta mind the law, eh? One of the nasty Jews is guilty of a racial slur, though, eh?
I'm sure it's all very unbiased and accidental use of language. No institutional whatsits to see here. Move along now.
Oy veh!

You mean like "clock is ticking" and "falling off a cliff"?
Vassell state describes it accurately. Brino - there's another one that describes a soft Brexit.
NI will sort itself out, but I fear the EU may find one or two of its customs offices knocked down before it does.
It was a bunch of Muslim men trying to intimidate Jewish teenagers out on a celebration. And it happened in the middle of Oxford Street. Multiculturalism right there.
I suspect said more in hope than expectation. The increasing personal animosity between Johnson and Macron is holding back progress in the UK forging a new and positive relationship with EU member states. Maybe both countries need a change of leader. Sunak would probably be more of a diplomat than Truss.
Truss is an idiot, so Sunak would most almost certainly be more of a diplomat.
If you’re looking for support, though, you need a Truss.
That might have something to do with having to rush my old man to A&E late Friday afternoon. Was a bit busy.
I see many folk in County Durham and Darlington are still participating in Boris’ great experiment to see what life will really be like once all the life-saving initiatives of COP26 have been implemented.

I've been working up in Aberdeenshire this week, and there's a huge area that is still without power a week after Storm Arwen hit. There's trees down everywhere, it's like a scene out of a disaster film. You've got to feel sorry for people going so long without electricity but the guys on the ground can only work so long each day repairing all the damage. I read that the Army have now been called in to help
I see Black Lives Matter, that many footballers kneel to, is calling for a boycott of "white companies." Sounds racist to me.
