The Curragh Mutiny and the machinations behind it are woefully unknown in England. I didn't come across it until I was an undergraduate, and I did history at A level. It has been successfully bleached from Tory history.

Some ‘you’ll regret this Johnny Foreigner’ nonsense from the Express. Now Nigel has fucked off they’re reduced to copying Tweets from Alan Sked.

A BREXITEER has lashed out at Germany after companies in Angela Merkel's state have been forced to seek other markets as a result of red tape following Britain's departure from the EU.
The disruption caused by Brexit has forced German exporters to seek other markets or relocate production.

Germany accounts for more than a quarter of all EU exports to the UK and has been hit the hardest than other member states.
However, Alan Sked, emeritus professor of international history at LSE, has lashed out at Germany for "giving up" on Britain due to the red tape imposed following Brexit.

He tweeted: "German exporters are giving up on the UK market due to delays and red tape since Brexit.
"Well done Barnier!" https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics ... barnier-eu

Who?

British tourists could lead a backlash against Spain's new visa laws which have come into force following Brexit. Under new measures set out by Madrid, long-term British tourists who do not hold a visa are limited to stays of 90 days within a given 180 day period. However, Brexiteer Joshua Mackenzie-Lawrie believes these new visa regulations could backfire on the EU and Spain, leading holidaymakers to "look elsewhere" when it came to booking trips this Summer. https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics ... eenlist-vn

Nothing. To. Do. With. Madrid*.

Lies, dissimulations, untruths. And yet the thick bastards who read the Express lap it up every time.


*Schengen Rules: explained to Brexitiers before, during and after Brexit, and dismissed as Project Fear, and the assumption that British (English) exceptionalism would mean preferential treatment to all other third countries.

University of Birmingham. Senior Communications and Research Executive at Get Britain Out

Fat boy, huh?

I'm guessing that research executive is one of those jobs you don't see advertised in the Jobcentre.

D'you know, I'm getting fucking sick of the sniffy and cuntish behaviour of some members of this forum? If it's not having a snide dig at people because of their size, it's describing people who don't live in metropolitan centres as the "Turnip Taliban".

it's describing people who don't live in metropolitan centres as the "Turnip Taliban".

Turnip Taliban was coined by Cameron era Tory Party in East Anglia concerned about the loons and amateur halfwits who will eventually repel moderate voters. UKIP temporarily slowed that direction but now they lose Cambridgeshire elections to the LDs and Labour. I’ll have to get a screen shot of the idiotic tone deaf comments about that result from Wisbech Tory councillors. Like Corbynistas they have little empathy or understanding of politics outside of their comfort zone.
Funny you should mention it under a Tweet about John Hayes he’s the Turnip ayatollah.* If he wasn’t NF in his youth I’d be surprised. And you want to waste time defending these people from piss takers?

* Due to a lack of formal hierarchical power structure in radical Sunni Islam, I don’t know what a Taliban head honcho is called.

That exceptionalism is alive and well among Tory Remainers as well. Although he’s right that the UK exiting the SM isn’t good for either side. Apart a bonus prize from the EU states poaching UK business.

I live in that area. Hayes is my MP.

And I fucking resent people on this forum lumping me in with the rest of them.

For a forum so proud of its 'woke' credentials, I'm fucking sick of the hypocrisy.

Mate, look him up. Look at some pictures of him. Piggy little eyes, shiny tight fitting suit, everything about him screams market town solicitor with form for dodgy rugby tackles and frequent visits to the local knocking shop. On the one hand, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but on the other a picture paints a thousand words, and in his case 500 of them are "fat" and the other 500 are "cunt".

And you know, I'm a little on the overweight side myself. And I don't know if Liverpool actually counts as a metropolitan centre. We're not all walking around in Lennon specs and making mordant quips about not trusting the Tories, you know.

So, that bollocks you've written justifies your choice of language, does it? I know what he looks like because I took the trouble to look him up.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

And I fucking resent people on this forum lumping me in with the rest of them.

Nobody is, but we rely on your anecdotes to get a picture of your neighbours.

First came across John Hayes as a skills minister in the coalition years giving a speech through gritted teeth at Congress House praising trade unions for their positive role in apprenticeship training. Had me fooled he was an old school One Nation Tory. Nothing of the sort, he would have been a Monday Club pro-apartheid bigot back in those days when there were One Nation Tories.

Frosty is one the case. You know what'll fix it? Hiring some consultants.

Don't think Hayes was a Monday Clubber as an MP.

Andrew Hunter, Andrew Rosindell and Angela Watkinson seem to have been the only ones in 2001, when arch-modernizers, IDS and David Davis severed links.

Robert McNamara would be the man for the job. Punch all the data into the mainframe to show Brexit was won in 1965. (A poignant apocryphal tale but not true
https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/ ... ar/542046/ )

Robert McNamara was a very intelligent man.

In the meantime, it sounds like that weak Australia trade guy was committed to free trade after all. Unfortunately, some of the Cabinet don't seem so keen. Liz Truss will have to sit them down and explain free trade to them.
