The EU is phooked...

[sinkov]

I noticed the last question on today's Muppet Show BT, a Remoaner journo saying we'd surely have to extend the transition period. They still haven't given up clinging to their comfort blanket, I'm sure many of them still think we won't be leaving, it's all a bad dream. Mr Sunak, bless him, didn't indulge him but put him straight, we're out, we're in a transition period and that ends on December 31st. Simple as.

Maybe this cretin thinks we've blown that much money recently that another £19 billion to the EU is neither here nor there for another year of adopting their directives and regulations, and at the end of which we still won't have a free trade deal. So what the's point ?

As you well know sinkov, I’m just a normal British working-class sort of bloke who likes nothing more than occasionally purchasing a cheap airplane fare and heading off towards southern Europe with my wife to take up a bit of sunshine and drink my own body weight in readily available, cheap alcohol.

The UK leaving the EU was always going to put a bit of a dampener on these types of sojourns, but the coronavirus has seen the outbreak of inter-European warfare not witnessed since Hitler and Mussolini were in their heyday.

Holland, Germany and France at the outbreak of COVID-19 closed their borders and left Spain, Italy and Portugal to the mercies of the pandemic.

It’s a pity Boris won’t be at the top table in Brussels to help resolve the unavoidable North/South Europe fallout in a post-coronavirus world. Remind me of the thread title again?
