You seem to have inadvertently edited my post to take out the 'shouldn't you be at work ?' question. A simple mistake, I'm sure

Government wasted another 3 weeks, now they're just in a panic.

David Gawke (expelled grown up Tory)...
The UK’s position is absurd and reckless.
https://www.newstatesman.com/commen...thern-ireland-protocol-is-absurd-and-reckless
It is absurd because of the nature of the government’s objections. Frost has objected to the limited role that the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has in the governance of the protocol even though that role was included in the governance proposals put forward by the very same David Frost in the 2019 negotiations over the protocol. And if he thought that the ongoing role of the ECJ was so oppressive and unacceptable, it is curious that he boasted in December 2020 that the UK-EU trade deal meant that “the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice ends”.
Maybe the government should ask NSC leave collective, maybe they have a better idea?

There is no point... unless it is a Brexit within the SM ( where all the 'sunlit uplands' are ) - where we can both have our sovereignty treasure and eat our prosperity cake.

I love the way they have now put out more temporary visas for EU Butchers and Pig Slaughterers
There's obviously thousands of Butchers and Pig Slaughterers in the EU that have been waiting patiently for the last 10 months for the UK Government to reverse it's position completely and grant some temporary visas to come to the UK. Just look at the reaction from EU HGV drivers that have been offered similar.
This Government can't get it's head around the fact the these EU workers have moved on elsewhere.
There really is no end to this lunacy, is there ?

All of the 'sunlit uplands / bazillions of £s for the NHS / sovereignty / taking back control / *add false Brexit "promise" of choice' / xenophobic gimps, really don't have anything of note to offer, anymore, which is hardly surprising considering the utter shit-fest it's proving to be.
Still, cheaper tampons and a kinda 'blue' passport makes it all worthwhile.

I think Gammon had it sussed earlier, something about 'moving on'.
Yes, I'm sure you and the other gullible ones would love it if we 'moved on', now that you have eff all to say.

I think everyone would love to 'move on', but it's rather difficult when this Government keeps on wanting to renegotiate Brexit again after they made such a f*** up last time. That'll be the one you voted for because they told you it would be 'The Easiest Deal in History' and that they would 'Get A Really Good Deal', and then voted for again because they told you they would 'Get Brexit Done'
I'm aware other people may use different terms, but I like to think 'innocently naïve' (twice)
Parts of Boris Johnson's Brexit deal were 'always provisional', admits Lord Frost as he says it's 'not surprising' that renegotiations are already needed
Lord Frost said the Government always knew elements of the deal might be 'difficult to make work in practice' and it was 'not surprising' that renegotiation of the agreement was needed already. Mr Johnson was accused of negotiating in 'bad faith' this week after ex-chief adviser Dominic Cummings said the Government planned to 'ditch' bits of the deal it didn't like after the 2019 election, adding: 'Cheating foreigners is a core part of the job.'
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10097891/Parts-Boris-Johnsons-Brexit-deal-provisional-admits-Lord-Frost.html
Frost even said this week
'that disruption caused by EU checks on goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland was so great that the UK might trigger Article 16 of the Protocol, effectively suspending parts of it'.
This was on the part of the NIP that the UK Government proposed, he negotiated and Johnson signed off
And all this from one of your 'preferred' news sources. So sadly, whatever else you thought you were voting for, it seems the one thing you definitely didn't vote for, was 'to move on'
