That's what a balanced person would do, anyway.

No, he's being kept well away from Westminster.

He'll be spending most of his time in Scotland, where, according to himself, he is bigly popular.

Whatever happens we all can be sure there'll be a huge outpouring of BS on the subject. It's also highly probable that Jeff will start a thread on the subject designed to piss off conservatives.

The same one who approved both anti trump and pro trump demos. The anti trump one will need to suitably policed, the pro trump one less so as so far only BoJo is expected to parade

Pro-Trump people vote. Anti-Trump people bitch about it.

Anyway, boys, get on side.
Tonight is England v Croatia. FWC semi-final that may lead to a re-enactment of the Battle of Waterloo next Sunday.

And in case you’ve missed the latest:
" BRITAIN “ is now officially a banana republic - constant sunshine, a collapsing government, depreciating currency and a good football team."

The "banana" bit took a while to be recognised!

AFAIK, both of us still live abroad, and so might be somewhat out of touch beyond media experience. However, I have it as personal belief from many still resident there (within the skin) that it is indeed the case about the old place.

Some go as far to tell me that should Scotland ever become independent, there would be a sign at the southern border pleading for the last person out to kindly extinguish the lights.

Yet, and yet... if I do go back, at least I know I would never have to buckle down to varnishing any more goddam shutters. Of course, Brexit is just a cynical ploy intended to prevent a mass exodus to France, Spain and Portugal in the event of eventual chaos in the Goode Oldie UK. Deprived of free, reciprocal medical care, who could afford it anymore? Even the bloody taxis on this island are often new Mercedes. The preemptive trap will have been well and truly sprung!

Of course, and Trump got off to a good start with a gross lie about German energy supplies. No doubt Alan will be along in a minute to defend it.
