A Brexit clock costing 500 pounds has been delivered to Downing Street to count down to 31 St. October just in case they miss it !!!!
That should keep them busy and they only have to take their heads out of the sand every now and again to check it.
Its like the looneys have been released all at once.
They have set aside 2 billion to make sure the UK Borders and Customs are fully staffed etc but what happens when they get to Calais or other Ports.???
🙊🙉🙈

Please somebody stop this, it is getting silly :cry:

Too late Judi, the UK has been infected by collective madness, consider it a freebie from the ERG Tories in their effort to take back control from the EU. :evil:

I do wonder how long before we will begin to hear the excuses when everything start to go steadily downhill after Brexit and what those excuses could be? Maybe wrong leaves on the line? That seems to be the one most commonly used.
-
Not long I suspect Frankie, and it will be everyone’s fault except for the Tories. :angry: :angry:
-
So Judi love Wales, I bet it's not because they voted to leave in 2016.
And Frankie, do you honestly believe Boris Johnson? Like I said, I wouldn't put money on it - I'll believe it when I see it. It's more than 3 years now and we still have not left!
-
Do I believe BJ? No way! I see him as a clever buffoon who is no fool. All his tactics before speaking are simply designed to disarm his audience whether it be in person or on TV. He will always weigh things up and then do whatever is good for Boris. He is hailed by some as the leader of the Leavers campaign. No, he wasn't. He did not come out from the start and nail his colours to the mast but waited to see which way the vote was likely to go and then began his own leave campaign quite late with the ludicrous sign on the side of the London bus with the promise of millions of pounds being available for the NHS. Now that he is PM it appears there is nothing like that promised amount to be doled out but a tiny fraction of it.
I doubt it will be too long before the general public sees through him and there will be calls for a General Election.
The whole debacle is a total bugger's muddle.
-
The feeling at the moment is that Johnson will call a general election, but get the timing right so that it falls during the week after 31st October. Parliament will be suspended so will not be able to stop him going for no deal. After that I don’t think he really cares what happens! 😡
-
Johnsons government only has a working majority of one now so he has to keep them all alive and onside for some time.
Its a long long way to 1st. October.
The DUP. Ten who are keeping the government afloat are keeping their heads down just in case .
Interesting times.

The Times:
“Johnson would refuse to resign even after losing a confidence vote so he could force through a no-deal Brexit on October 31, under plans being considered by Downing Street. Dominic Cummings, the prime minister’s most senior aide, told colleagues last week that Mr Johnson would not quit if Tory Remainers voted with Labour to bring down the government. The Times has been told that Mr Johnson could stay on as prime minister even if Tory MPs were able to form a “government of national unity” opposed to a no-deal Brexit. Mr Johnson would ignore the result of the confidence vote and call a “people v politicians” general election to be held shortly after Britain had left the EU. Ministers said that there was an emphasis on “getting stuff out the door” by bringing forward policy announcements before a possible election this year. Constitutional experts confirmed yesterday that Mr Johnson would technically be under no legal obligation to quit if he lost a confidence vote. They warned that it risked the Queen being “dragged into politics” and put in the “invidious position” of facing calls to remove the prime minister herself. Tory Remainers have conceded that there is no “absolutely foolproof” parliamentary mechanism to stop a no-deal Brexit.”
The Telegraph:
“Brussels believes that Britain will leave the EU without a deal after accepting that Boris Johnson "isn’t bluffing", the Telegraph understands. EU leaders are now working on "a working hypothesis of no deal" following a meeting on Monday between Commission officials and Brexit diplomats from each of the 27 EU countries, amid mounting speculation Mr Johnson will call a general election after October 31. It comes as all government departments in Whitehall were given a 48-hour deadline to prove their readiness for no deal. The EU-27 is understood to be shaken by reports that Dominic Cummings, Mr Johnson’s chief strategist, has said it is too late for MPs to prevent a no deal exit on Halloween.EU officials had been confident that Mr Johnson would not force Britain out without a deal, but meetings with his senior adviser David Frost last week have changed their minds along with newspaper articles including a confrontational opinion piece written by Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay. "Our working hypothesis is now no deal," said an EU source after the meeting, where diplomats agreed they could not rely on MPs to prevent a disorderly withdrawal.”

The closer we gallop to this horrendous conclusion, the more I wish with the knowledge we now have, that the clock could be turned back 3 years. Had everyone been in possession of the true facts, I suspect it could have been a totally different outcome. :cry:
-
I'm not sure it would, I think most of The Great British Public are thick. Anyway the press would not have printed the truth
-
Cant agree there Judi , I think English people are the most intelligent and interesting in the world and soon to be the greatest nation on earth as Boris said. . !! Honest .!
Im off now to the Pinnochio reunion.
Im an honarary member.
Raymondo !!!!😜😁😂

Judi you are 100% correct, most of them are thick but to be kind some of those thickies are also gullible and possibly trusted the lying self-serving politicians who fantasied about life 'Out of the EU'. :laugh:

I think most of The Great British Public are thick
Sadly, most of The Great British Public nowadays are immigrants or kin of..
Released 1969
Back then (late sixties, early seventies) the education system was constantly changed as well... remember, Hull had that phonetic spelling system introduced? We still see the results even now, although it wasn't Steve's fault the schools failed him... nanny state indeed :crazy:
So a mixture of new people and lack of education is the major culprit, I would say :tiphat:
-
I think you may have a problem coming your way Drax!
I think that most immigrants to the UK know very well, where there bread is buttered ... well away from Brexshit!
You aren't suggesting that the typical immigrant to the UK is less intelligent in any way are you?

Jersey is bringing in emergency powers to deal with medicine shortages in the event of a no deal brexit.
This will give them the power to restrict the number of prescriptions issued by Doctors and filled by Pharmacies.
Will also give them the power to requestion all medicine from pharmacies to one central point if necessary.
Sounds a bit like when the Germans took over the Island in the war.
Makes Brexit look more and more like the work of unhinged politicians and the not so clued up voters.
Makes the immigrants look quite intelligent.
