I have nothing to say on the matter at the moment but I thought a separate thread might keep the other threads clear😊
In London. Keen but lazy.

    Think of this thread as a carpet under which you can sweep the dust.

    We've had a Brexit thread or three and they were al contentious.

    Like it or not it's happening as of Jan 1st and nothing you can do about it.

    Glad you kept the pound but such a mess.

    It’s the good old British muddle through approach.

    I’ve heard it’s said that it’s why the Nazis failed to squash the Brits. They were sure we had a plan. They kept looking for our plan. If they found our plan they could counteract it and whop us.

    We had no plan.

    Never ascribe to conspiracy what might be ineptitude.

    These days I would go so far to to always assume ineptitude. Decades of Bond films and spy stories have given us the impression that there are various dark, malevolent, powerful agencies plotting to overturn the world. From what I see no quango or confederate can organise a piss up in a brewery.

    They would set up a commission to decide what type of glasses to use and then decide to drink it straight out of the bottle once an expert on pig farming had been offered squillions to manufacture a world-beating  bottle opener that could have been sourced from the local pound shop

    I am actually very optimistic for the future!
    Some disruption ,obviously, at the start but then it will all settle down and we will just get on with things.
    It has happened this way for centuries.

    No point now either.  It can't be changed or stopped.   Going to the wire was inevitable.
