    Johnson's hero Churchill was considering, 70 years ago, plans to seize the former Irish Free State Treaty Ports for the duration of the war.

    Johnson is considering giving up Treaty Ports to the rule of some unelected EUSSR Customs Commissioner.

    The old man will be looking for opportunities to earn hard currency in the Liverpool dockside area, but the economic situation will bring in a lot of amateur competition driving down prices.

    No border required on the island of Ireland.

    Unless of course Boris is forced to extended and he goes back to parliament asking to be sacked as he can't deliver what he promised and parliament know this so will also tell him to FO for the entire term of the next parliament.

    I work with a Scottish chap with a very pronounced Scottish accent. So pronounced it makes him more understandable than most of the English.

    To be fair, hardly any English here. Its awesome working with some many people from round the globe who love London and the UK.

    In fact, most say the only negative is working with me....

    Be fair, it's extremely hard to tell the difference between your normal stupidity and when you're putting it on.
    Always best to err on the side of normal stupidity.
