    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    There is one point worth making. Maybe two. When we initially joined the common market it was hailed as a great opportunity for British manufacturing, motor industry specifically as is this trade deal. The problem was it also opened up the market for European manufacturers into the U.K. and a...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Apparently it’s going to boost $15B in trade. I assume that is total in both directions. Could just mirror what we would have had had we stopped in the EU, that was certainly the original talk around the deal. I’m sure someone other than the government will explain it in more detail.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Even ERG members are starting to criticise the bill. Got a feeling that this might not prove to be as easy as Cummings... err, sorry, Boris thinks it will be.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    More to it than that though. Track and trace is a disaster, testing is a disaster. How can you model what schools are safe when the tools to do that is in tatters. The situation regarding information on what precautions to take to open schools would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious...

    Right wing jokes

    Got a new one, it’s actually from 2019 but has dated really well. Vote Conservative in the general election to end the Brexit chaos.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Their whole handling of the crisis reminds me of that episode of Extras with Patrick Stewart where he fantasises about being able to walk into a room, say “make it so” and whatever he wants to happen just instantaneously happens like a miracle. Granted in Extras it was usually something to do...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Boris’ own sister said as much during the GE campaign. Something along the lines of Boris does not represent the voters he represents the disaster capitalist that have backed him to this point and a no deal Brexit suits them.

    US presidential Election 2020

    The one glimmer of hope was that at no time did Hillary poll more than 50%. Biden has consistently done that. Comes down to concentration of votes. If all them extra votes are in safe states for the Democrats then the only thing that might change is by how much Biden wins the popular vote.

    US presidential Election 2020

    Got a feeling it will be a rerun of last time. Biden will win the popular vote but Trump will win the college vote and unfortunately that’s what puts you in the White House.

    Can’t see them buying it to be honest. This is what happens when you take someone like Boris seriously.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Peston has been tipped off from a senior Tory that the Lords are going to kill this bill. The Salisbury-Addison Convention apparently means that they have to hold the Government to account on their election manifesto and the bill contradicts their not even a year old election manifesto...
