Because they chose not to use the EU protocols like we did. Hungary used the same protocols we did to buy the Sputnik vaccine from Russia.

My Mrs would manage it. She’s the type to poke her head through the door go seen it and leave. We went to Bangkok years ago and got up early to go to Wat Phra Kaew. We were there 5 minutes and she wanted to go, whereas I could have spent all day there. She was the same at the Egyptian museum in...

I was reading yesterday that the government is struggling to find anyone interested in buying all the land back from the cancelled phase 2 meaning that phase 2 is still a possibility with one of the biggest expenses already settled. I think that there needs to be an enquiry into it first on how...

Which we did under EU regulation as we were still in the transition period and legally obligated to do so, so did. One of the biggest urban myths going that the vaccine rollout was a Brexit bonus, as confirmed by the woman responsible for the UK’s vaccine rollout during a parliamentary select...

Adan Canto. Only known him from Narcos and Designated Survivor in both of which I thought he was excellent. Only 42, to cancer.

It was on CD sadly.

Found Dummy by Porishead the other week while having a sort out of the garage and suddenly realised that I didn’t have it on iTunes so promptly downloaded it and have been playing it when in the car.

I can’t believe this is a shock to anyone

Call me cynical but I think that the governments sudden interest in the post office scandal is precisely because it keeps the public distracted from things like the Mone scandal.

I never said he was principled (plural) I said that he resigned on a single principle (singular).

He’d already announced that he wouldn’t be standing for election at the next GE, he’s resigned early on a single point of principle.

Another by-election incoming. Tory MP quits. In a change of pace on an actual principle not a flounce or in disgrace.

Sunburn.

Traitor, good one. You shat over your own country over an ideology that you’re too immature to understand. You really shouldn’t be going around calling anyone a traitor. You didn’t even vote leave for a tangible reason that you can fashion into a balanced argument like Steve for instance. You’re...

You should try reading past the headline. It basically says that the government thought the houses would have to ratify it as a checks and balance procedure. Same as we did when we went to war and in Iraq and Afghanistan. The article is spelling out a procedure. You’re labelling it a fallacy...

Fair enough. On the matter of the Lisbon Treaty I do see the cancellation of the referendum on it as undemocratic, that aside though the fact is we constantly voted in increasingly pro European governments since joining with a mandate for further ties to the EU. That’s just a fact and that is...

So you’ve picked the one possible example from hundreds if not thousands of ways we helped shape the EU through ours and EU democracy while members. You’re also buying into a myth on what happened in Ireland. The actual facts are that the sitting Irish government tried and failed to use the...

It’s article 5. The idea that we would bow out from that if a NATO country was attacked, especially the that member was the US or a European member is for the birds. You seem to have no grasp of either history or the current climate.

Err, yes it can. An armed attack on one NATO country is an armed attack on all NATO countries, it’s what we signed up to. So for example if Ukraine crumbles and madman Putin then decides to try and take land in Poland for example, we’re at war with Russia. It’s the exact reason why Russias...

The EU changed over the years with the consent of our elected governments through treaties that we helped to write (or in the case of the withdrawal agreement, wrote). Every government from the time we joined until 2016 were elected with a manifesto that stated closer ties to the EU, so they...
