If the coronavirus hadn’t taken over Brexit is all we’d have been hearing about for the past 3 months……. I’m well aware of the importance of both but I’m sick of Brextit and Covod 19.
@Dec:
Well – As Leon T said:
“You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you”
@Michael Kavanagh: A Trotsky quote to make a point re the advancement of capitalism…. however unlikely it may be it’s an excellent quote and very apt in this instance! It’s the reason we keep reading and commenting on Brexit and other such articles even when we’re completely disillusioned with them all!
‘The Duchy of Lancaster’…..God what is it with these people.
It just showed how much the readers of the journal are interested in brexit, this storey is up 2 hours and only 2 post about it. I got bord after the scend line .

“…which was illuminating in showing how little we still don’t know.”
Do you even read what you write?
Boris the Bluffer and his cronies have shown themselves up ti be as useless as most people outside the UK saw them to be.
1000 people a day dying from Covis-19 but they only count hospital deaths! It keeps the numbers low.
All the lies they told about Brexit are being shown as that
@Gary Kearney: there are not a thousand dying each day check worlometers
When the boy cried wolf he gained a reputation. British Perfidy has been around for hundreds of years. Indeed Stalin refused to believe the British when they warned him of imminent German onslaught. He thought they were lying. That’s what reputation does.
Embarrassing shambles, the entire affair. Full of lies and some misplaced Empire nostalgia nonsense. Johnson is a pathological liar and unfit to be the prime minister.
