Portugal, have a word with Bickerstafs down at the harbour
Who said 37 pounds a week?
I only pay 34 pounds (my pound sign on my keyboard has stopped working for some reason) a month income tax.
It is 37 pounds a YEAR. I worked it out based on my income from two pensions, one private and one state pension. Not even one pound a week.
Just this morning the former head of MI6 has said our standing in the world has been 'severely diminished'
What do you know that he doesn't then?
You're just splitting hairs here, playing whatbaoutery and clutching at straws and trying to score points, because you've got nothing positive to add about Brexit or have any clue about it, as normal. We're being laughed at abroad - we're diminished, our existential future as a country and existing territorial integrity, as well as an international peace treaty is at risk - because of people like you. Anyone sensible can see it's a total international embarrassment - it really goes without say frankly. That Tory Party polling about people happy to see this country break up if it meant Brexit - you're exactly the same. Brexit is one giant embarrassment, but you can't see it because you're English and one of what Matthew Parris refereed to as 'The Brexit Crazys' - he said when you mention The EU to them, their eyes go funny and cannot reason with them. I call people like you 'The Infected' - I just feel a mixture of pity of contempt.
Ruth Davidson said of the Tory members who think that way that they need to have a good look at themselves. I'd have just called them stupid, English, Brexit voting ****s.
We're about to get Boris Johnson as PM and then goodness only knows what in the autumn as this utter cluster***** continues to play out. It's rather obvious to anyone not infected that this is many things, an absolute, utter embarrassment being one of them. It is embarrassing for diplomats and civil servants working for this shower. The world is laughing at us, but you're cheering it on along with the rest. I can fully understand why senior servants are leaving Whitehall to go into the private sector - they're reporting to embarrassing buffoons if they stay.
Every day in Africa, in my left front pocket of my shorts or trousers when I went out, I carried my British passport as ID. To the best of my knowledge I was only ever asked for it once by the police at road block, but then, just like when I handed it over in banks, I felt very proud of it. Like a lot of people I'm afraid now I'm actually embarrassed of where I come from. Still, at least in the future I can get a blue one.
Watching this idiotic country do what it's doing can bring out a rant in a lot of people.
I'm really not too fussed about not speaking to a smug, middle class, English Brexit voter from Hove and, on balance, I think I'll cope. I'm heading off down to watch some cricket in a while, and have a few pints. Lovely afternoon for it. You have a nice day too. If you can.
