“Good grief” said Phil. “Can they do that?” His voice sounded odd. He’d been quaffing that cheap Honduran ‘Old Goat’ whisky again.

“They can. And they did.”

The former. I knew it was bound to come. Oddly enough, the only actual MAGA hat I’ve ever seen in Britain was in Crickhowell, of all places, during the early Trumpian era.

Looks worthwhile 😀

Doubtless a small caboose, seatless and with floor covered in sawdust, will be provided for trans people so as to ensure proportionate dignity and respect.

Ah. I expected it to illustrate ‘UK producing the wrong kind of graduates’. The citation there is one you used in your following point?

Wrong citation?

The level of hateful prejudice against brown people is a separate variable from a calculated net migration statistic.

True. However there is a ‘Drop Brexitism’ sauce.

Phil made a good start. I didn’t mess up. Perfectly satisfactory.

I don’t think many of the more vocal boat-stoppists care about net migration. They only care about stopping immigration.

💥 This is the economic equivalent of a senior Vatican priest admitting the Pope is wrong about God.

Even the architects of Brexit are confessing the truth 👉while Farage still lies.

Ah, I see. Yes, they did!

Beholden, really. The Sword of Damocles that is the TV licence fee is dangled constantly over the BBC by certain ‘defunders’.

Hendrik’s profile declares that he is indeed a Dutchman.

I wouldn’t want to harp on exclusively about the ‘economic’ damage of Brexit, severe though that obviously is.

There’s also:

- the moral damage caused by fucking millions of people up then condemning them to soldier on as if there’s no remedy

- the injustice of enmeshing Scotland and NI in it

Heck, they could go for the Farage/recommended ‘Norway option’.

They’ll want to interrogate him about how to be a decent person.
