No. Not any of his workers. They can suck it up. Don’t imagine that the super rich will suffer here.

there are the academic and technical benefits, oops my mistake

in fairly dark moments i could consider the greatest brexit bonus to be that it may give me opportunity to unleash my full skill set

i wont tell and it is best not to ask.

in more fluffy ones i cannot see anything that needs changing is prevented from being changed by being a full EU member and there are so many advantages to assorted countries planning as a group especially as the biggest issue is a global climate/6th extinction one not whether or not somebody can secretly offshore their profits to avoid taxation where those profits were generated.

a united states of europe with a federal and local framework would be a decent bet for a safe and stable continent, churchill thought so, he had many serious faults but he was correct on that matter

or i could sign up with nazis, vulture capitalists and the less charming members of the tory party . where do i contract a long infective period class 4 virus so i can go on a hugathon?

brexit sucks and just for fun mogg has gone full chas one/1930's by suggesting taking back control was for him not for the unbelievers in the HOC so therefore the HOC should be prorogued to prevent a total refusal of a "no deal " withdrawal. the Friday Club protocols seems like a good basis for a contemporary response to such a suggestion.

"If the supposed route to prosperity for post Brexit “global Britain” lies through a global lattice work of preferential trade deals, how can one possibly seriously argue that the ONLY bloc with which one does not need a free trade deal is the one with which one does easily the largest volumes of trade?

And if a preferential trade deal with the EU is, in practice, essential, then you obviously gain nothing by tumbling completely out to WTO rules, and then having to try and scramble your way back up the hill to a preferential deal, under huge time pressure, notably in those many sectors and issues on which a resort to WTO rules gives you nothing."

This is the bit I never understand about Brexiteers who claim WTO will be a clean Brexit.

that warms the cockles of my heart, bless the free market

maybe my sales slump thought was a reasonable as well as the wasted propaganda aspect of the maildrop spoonnews that fell in the letterbox yesterday

i did not like the look of the egg on a bun thing, no sir it was ugly .

tis rather daft to do a ratner to half the population and upset a lot of the staff even if half the punters are going to stay on side

a beer hall putsch with the spooners as the storm troops would be messy but rather funny once it was hosed up .

never underestimate etc but an afternoon in a barnsley spoons is quite an education .
a bank holiday monday is even better.

they now have unicorn gin with "added sparkle " glinty manure , how quaint
