OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

As we now seem to have abandoned checks on good imported from the EU!

The British Ports Association (BPA), a lobby group for the industry, calculates that at least £450m of taxpayers’ money has been spent on these now mostly unwanted new border control facilities. This includes the £200m government fund for buildings at ports, as well as an estimated £250m spent by the government on building 10 inland border facilities, in places such as Dover and Holyhead where there is not space for a checkpoint next to the terminal. These buildings will be difficult to repurpose.

Looking more and more like Boris's days are numbered... Now the dust has settled and everyone has now excepted Brexit, Who would you like to be our next Prime Minister, I know most folk would want Nigel Farage but at the moment that's not possible.

I’m not sure I know how...you might have to explain, but honestly...I think I’d prefer to spend time with DCFCA than either of the other two. At least we could talk about football and I might be able to help him with his homework.

If you’re really asking me to put them in ascending order of dislike it goes...1. DCFCA 2. Johnson 3. Farage on the basis that...
1 makes no difference to my life at all, he just upsets you.
2 is a spent force who will soon be an irrelevance.
3 has done the UK more harm in my lifetime than any other single individual so I should probably snog him given my current state of health.

Going to have nightmares tonight after that.

Don't necessarily agree with you about Johnson being a spent force, but hey we shall see. He can still do damage from the back benches or if he resigns as an MP in the newspaper column. After all i was his lies and false stories about the EU, which stoked the fire which lit the touch paper which encouraged the Tory euro sceptics and they are still there you know!

Anyway much along the lines of the Monty Python "I'm not dead yet" sketch, Johnson hasn't gone yet.

How much longer can he have left considering in excess of 50 ministerial resignations, MPs turning down the offer of taking up a minister's post and the current Chancellor telling him Boris time is up and he should go less than 48 hours after accepting the role....

Dead man no longer capable of walking IMO.

With regard to any possible journalistic role in the future, wouldn't his new employer see paper/magazine sales drop?

Apparently Boris wants to stay on until the new leader in Oct, how's he going to do that without a cabinet? I actually feel for him on a personal level, he might be in over his head but can't fault the commitment.
