Hannan did a similar thing in the days after the vote.
It's still online and it's fucking embarrassing.

Apologies Youngian: Once again I've fired off a snappy reply without reading to the end of the thread.

Frost seems to be arguing for expelling Tobias Ellwood. That'll work, the sane guy known for giving CPR to a Police Officer attacked by a terrorist.

[Andy McDandy]

Grumpy serial protesters in the parliamentary party.

Who says Tories can't do irony?

[Tubby Isaacs]

Yeah, Frosty, we know. Some of us were keen to reduce those barriers further but your party dicked about with its "referendum lock" and the like.

[Youngian]

SM is a work in progress for over 30 years and one of the most sophisticated economic integration projects ever attempted by neighbouring states.
They lack the magic of Frost and David Davis who can deliver this sort of thing over lunch with a plan on a fag packet.
It appears this think tank are serious people making credible criticisms of the SM’s impeded progress. The core criticism is that EU members are sacrificing the advantages of economy of scale and integration that US and China enjoy for flexibility on national sovereignty. Which is producing poorer economic outcomes than it rivals. Over to you Lord Frost.

[Andy McDandy]

Up there with their terrorist screening and security programme, called "Oh go on, you know it's me, you know my face".

[Youngian]

My goodness, gushes Gloria. He’s a PR account manager hack. Whiskey producers, Tory Party, just clients to be served.

[Malcolm Armsteen]

These people are so dismally, depressingly, fuckawfullingly limited in ever sense...

[Andy McDandy]

None of that black nonsense. All it means.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Great use of headteacher time here, Gillian. What happened to truancy officers? Did your lot get them sacked because "blah blah the classroom"?

[Tubby Isaacs]

None of that black nonsense. All it means.

Othello would be OK.

[Bones McCoy]

None of that black nonsense. All it means.

Othello would be OK.

We didn't Brexit to have Eurotrash like Othello, Hamlet, Julius Caesar and The Merchant of Venice rammed down our cultural throats.

[Boiler]

In other words, so niche no-one would watch/listen to it, in which case it can be shut down for good.

He seems to be arguing for the US PBS/NPR model.

[davidjay]

None of that decadent nonsense like Dad's Army and Last of the Summer Wine.

[Youngian]

Rawhide, Three wheels on my wagon? Funny enough the BBC have recently shown the greatest British western ever made, the English (not a vast genre, I grant you).
Anyone have access to this shit rag so we can read what Frost is babbling on about?
Has he heard of Radio 3?
Frost flicks to Classic FM in the car after the Jeremy Vine show finishes to listen to the Dvorak piece from the Hovis advert. If only the BBC had more of this for intellectuals like me instead of woke programming, Frost ponders.

If you’ve had an educated guess as to what he has written this is it isn’t it?

[Andy McDandy]

I remember the new version. It acknowledged that other cultures have, erm, culture.

It was quite good. Better than Clarke wanking over the renaissance.

[Watchman]

Let’s listen to lots of Wagner, that gets people stirred up, said Mr Gobbels

[Tubby Isaacs]

I love Civilisation and Kenneth Clark generally, but he’s not exactly free of « ideology ». Has patriot Frosty watched it lately? It’s not very complimentary about Britain.

Why is the BBC expected to give everything available for free all the time? There’s loads of art and culture on the iplayer even if Civilisation isn’t on there.
