      JRM, ultimate conspiracy theory ******:

      Jacob Rees-Mogg, chairman of the right-wing European Research Group, has asked whether Leo Varadkar’s Irish government had any influence on Arklow’s decision.He told the Daily Telegraph: “One has to hope that the Irish government has not leant on or put any pressure on Arklow to persuade it to pull out.
      “That would be a very unfriendly act of a neighbour to obstruct no-deal preparations and one has to hope very sincerely that this is genuinely a corporate decision.”

        And just to show how completely incompetent this government is, they forgot to tell the other side (Ostend).

        Ostend, paying out thousands to prepare for the new ferries to help Britain out, find out on social media.

        Another victory for British diplomacy and goodwill.

          One less ferry company to worry about

          No ferries for pizza companies, but there are a couple of spare ones for us to convert into warships to send our fleet of drones off from, apparently.

          Access Denied

          The Royal Navy is to convert two passenger ferries or cargo vessels into warships as part of a thrifty modernisation plan, the defence secretary has announced.

          Gavin Williamson also disclosed yesterday that he planned to buy and adapt off-the-shelf drones to create a swarm fleet that could interact with the military’s highly sophisticated F-35 multirole stealth fighter jets.

              Grayling is quite possibly the most useless person to have ever been appointed a minister:

              There are plenty of more cases of where he has totally ****ed up but because he supports May, he gets to keep his job....
