"£4bn has been allocated to the process of leaving the EU already" says Foreign Secretary Dominic Rabb

And another £2.1 billion

Indeed. Where's that damned bus now that we need it? And who's got the tin of paint?

I posted here a conversation between Andrew Neil and Osborne who was asked about the cuts in welfare he oversaw, who replied glibly that if you( the country) havent got the money you can't afford it. Yeh very convenient analogy with household finances not.

Raab is and was economical with the truth?

No just a blooming liar.

Google is a good way of discovering what folk are saying. Looking at historical data on search queries tells you buckets.
"No deal" simply doesn't show up in historical search data until after the referendum.
(https://trends.google.com)

What's also interesting is reading 'leave' biased forums and sites. For the most part they all believe that's what was promised, it's an interesting example of how folk shift their views and convince themselves the new position is the one they wanted all along.

You find the same thing with a lot of aspects of leave, how many people were happy back then to watch the economy burn in order to get out? Turns out almost nobody because it simply wasn't on the table.
Now a decent percentage of leave voters are happy to accept an economic downturn in order to leave - one assumes they think their jobs will be safe.

Us humans have turned self delusion into an art form.

‘It’s almost as if “project fear” was in fact reality’
Emergency budget. Supply chains disrupted. Jobs leaving. Currency tanking. It’s almost as if “project fear” was in fact project reality, and the lying leavers have been talking out of their arses for three years (in addition to 40 years of whining without a plan).

Several are missing! For example:

The current and ongoing neoliberal scam to take all value from 99.99% of humans and turn it into cash value owned by 0.01% of special humans.

The enclosures acts and various other legal scams arranged by various aristocracies throughout the history of the UK to create and then to benefit large property owners at the expense of everyone else. Let us note the rentiers in particular.

The huge thefts (and associated murders) committed by The East India Company and similar UK business organisations upon various foreign nations and locales before and after them.

The ongoing theft of the ability for humans and other lifeforms to survive due to resource plundering and planet-rape of the most egregious kinds by businessmen gharks & hoos that are orcs dressed as humans.

I cannot calculate the exact figures but they could be summed up as "everything".

I've just checked:

They've been stolen off the shelf by fictitious history book writers, someone had better phone the police...



...on second thoughts don't bother phone the police, let's instead look up to the skies for the coming of intelligent and friendly Alien intervention.

It's a bit of a long shot [ being intergalactic ] but at least it gives us a possibility of a resolve and something to hope for

Lib Dems win Brecon and Radnorshire

Jane Dodds - Lib Dem - 13,826 (43.4%)

Chris Davies - Con - 12,401 (39%)

Des Parkinson - Brexit - 3,331 (10.5%)

Tom Davies - Labour - 1,680 (5.3%)

Lady Lily The Pink - Loony - 334 (1%)

Liz Phillips - UKIP - 242 (0.8%)

Liberal Democrat Jane Dodds' victory means that the Tory Nasty Party government at Westminster now has a working majority of one.

[Cyril Haearn]

By a surprisingly small margin, plusminus

[Debs]

Yes it is a small margin, but a win is a win.

The message to Boris is that the Brexit Party is strong enough to de-rail Tory electoral wins. He won't want a General Election now.

Although the Brecon and Radnorshire ward is fairly rural area with many typical Tory toff country land owner types who would probably still vote Tory if their candidate fraudulently fiddled his expenses, or they had a fat fascist pig-piffle for Party leader....

I'm so glad Lady Lilly the Pink beat the ugly UKIPer.
The UKIP candidate was too humiliated to present herself up at the results announcement!

Unless, of course, Britain Trump and Farage work together. They are two sides of a coin.

I see the Loony party polled more than UKIP.
I wonder, does this result indicate that the Lib Dems have been forgiven for their time in coalition ?

You mean Loony Party(1) polled more than Loony Party(2).

[661-Pete]

I see the Loony party polled more than UKIP.

The Loony party (in full, the Official Monster Raving Loony Party) are anything but "loony". Didn't they successfully campaign for the voting age to be lowered to 18, for pet passports, and for extended pub opening hours? (this last I might query, but who am I to be sanctimonious?*)
