    On the upside, 8% of small businesses didn't read the manifesto.

    In security terms, a failure to reach agreement would mean our cooperation in the fight against crime and terrorism would be weakened.

    Strangely enough that made me an even badder man.
    Very bad man apt

    They've chickened out and removed it from current Finance Bill, no doubt it will make a comeback...

    They can spin it how they want, it's a fecking shambles. They've made "strong and stable" the centrepeice of their campaign. May is woefully untrusting of anyone beyond Timothy and Hill, and this is what happens when you formulate your manifesto on the back of a fag packet with your besties. They better not approach the Brexit negotiations in this way. It also leaves them open to ridicule from such esteemed commentators as Gidiot, let alone Labour, who should be having a field day with this, had they any semblance of competence. Ultimately, I don't think it's going to change the outcome, but it makes them a fecking laughing stock. They're trying really, really hard to make me stay at home.
