            He's speaking to an audience of EU fanatics; if he said anything vaguely diplomatic about Brexit he'd probably be lynched "pour encourager les autres".

            His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

              Actually it just looks like the Europhobic Express blowing things up out proportion, again.

              Agree with your second comment, maybe it's the choice of paper for gammons
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                Rearranging the Deck Chairs on RMS Brextanic

                Everyone is blaming the Government for not coming up with a Brexit strategy. They've made no progress in two years so how useless must they be.

                However, when will it dawn on everyone that there simply isn't a Brexit strategy? I guess Theresa already can see that. She's ostensibly nurturing a stay-in-only-worse-off approach but she'll never get away with that. The hard exit (which is what people voted for) is too expensive and disruptive. So all she can do is the classic deathmarch manoeuvre that so many of us project people have seen played out so many times - just keep plodding along and shoving in the invoices until the merde finally hits the fan.

                Then blame everybody else.

                  I don't belong to the target group for which these headlines were designed to raise blood pressure.

                    What this is all about is taking the good bits of the 1960's and combining with the good bits of the 2000's unfortunately what is now happening is that it is combining the bad bits of the 1960's with the bad bits of the 2000's.

                      People didn’t vote for a hard exit. Yougov polls since Brexit show a majority of Remainers supporting the SM, and Brexiters split.



                      But you’re right about there not being a plan.
