    The governments own body, the ONS has confirmed this, thats the news. oddly nobody on the Brexit side has mentioned this, in fact it seems its about trumpeting Brexit freedoms now, like removing the working time directive, reintroducing imperial measures, weakening environmental rules and other such "benefits" of Brexit, which were never mentioned in 2016!

    Typical Swale, pound for pound the biggest Anti Brexit voice, guaranteed to write swathes* of comment at any opportunity, give him an inch and he’ll take 8 furlongs

    * a swathe is about 5 feet

    But it's not news though is it? These numbers have been bandied about for quite a while now. That was my point.

    So he will take 1056 swathes then, approximately. Curious though as I thought swathe was a (misused) verb whereas swath was the noun. A swath width will obviously vary with the crop being swathed, so for example oilseed rape being a tall plant will leave a longer swath whereas second cut hay will be much shorter. Anyway, who uses a scythe nowadays? More often a cutter akin to a header on a combine mounted on a spindly tractor

    Or...he continues to informatively draw attention to the mistake known as Brexit and the error of our ways. Now I know I’ll be called a ‘rear gunner’ again or something similarly infantile...but what exactly is wrong with him doing that?

    Jesus wept, nip out and get yourself a sense of humour. Even GP saw the humour and he’s an accountant

    Being serious though, nothing wrong with him or anyone doing so, likewise nothing wrong with responses along the lines of ‘it happened, suck it up and move on’

    On a related subject, and you brought it up, my U.K. to Greece cross border experience was: delay in U.K. 35 mins due to the impact of Islamic terrorism, maybe 5 minutes of that due to an audit going on. 0 mins due to Brexit. Delay in Greece 0, in fact they didn’t even look at our passports. Delays within Greece (another scare story in the papers last week suggested all sorts of restrictions for brits) - 0

    Ah...and how we all laughed!
    Interesting though that my lighthearted Theresa Coffey comment of a couple of weeks ago brought forth only recrimination and disdain from our moderator’s ‘humour police’.

    Your point is pointless, the ONS ahve just published or had when I posted, so yes the numbers ahve been around a while, but the oNS confirming them is news. But hey why worry eh?
