The stupidity level in this is quite spectacular

Like ferries or trains? There's plenty of those but the chip-pan dwellers voted to "cut red tape."

Yebbut they're exporting to Europe and the English Channel is in the way. This hypothetical mass transport thing would need some way to cross that. I dunno, a tunnel or something.

They do know that you don't just drive through the tunnel? They not seen Mission Impossible?

Mmm, chips. I wish I had a chip pan. Doubt it'd do me any good though - not least the risk of burning the house down.

I see that Roger Helmet has stopped taking his meds again.

I see the barking-mad twat is still calling himself MEP.

Roger, mate, read your emails. We left the EU twelve months ago.

Wasn't he a General and a Queen's Council last year?

More outfits than Mister Benn.

Yeah right, like I’m going to whitewash my conservatory

It should be up to the car driver, not the government, to set the speed limit. If we get lots of accidents, we can always fit speed limiters later, on a voluntary basis.

Helmer and Bannerman are the sort of people that Cameron was too scared to face down.

I can think of a large number of car drivers and motor-car enthusiasts who genuinely believe that should be the case.

In this, Beau is talking about 'agents of influence' in a US context, but how does this hypothetically fit what we have seen in UKIP and Corbyn's Labour?

A casual observation.

Some 5 years back there was a scaremongering trope about a European army.
The folks who stoked that as an argument to leave the EU are now complaining that Europe isn't pulling its military weight in Ukraine.

Standard British assumptions, part 94.

Foreigners are either amusingly inept, or sinister and threatening. What they never are is equals. In 2016 the EU army was a threat (and besides, Our Boys would have to do all the heavy lifting and take orders from some jumped up generalissimo who wouldn't even have a country if it wasn't for us). Now the EU army is quaintly amusing with its funny little ways like not existing.
