And I thought we were on about the hoteliers of Majorca, in this scion, not British holidaymakers.

If you were a hotelier in Majorca, and felt the need to knock 20% off prices, wouldn't you be looking at how you could make it up again?

Bruce Willis can take on the whole EU27 while Cybill Shepherd takes over from Carrie?

I spy (yet again) weasel words: A government spokesperson said: “We are committed to negotiating an ambitious free-trade agreement with the US. Without exception, imports into the UK will meet our stringent food safety and animal welfare standards. That’s not going to change.” But it doesn't...

Where? Any proper reference to it? Malta is or was considering a gas pipeline connected to Europe.

Are you sure it doesn't depend on reverse osmosis and groundwater? Is there actually a pipeline from Italy?

Did I miss it? Or has this not yet been posted? EU MUST BE JOKING! Sneaky EU chiefs are planning to hit Britain with a tax bill for £1trillion for unpaid VAT https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/brexit/9649719/eu-britain-tax-bill-1trillion/

BJ should think of Marat: We've got nothing always had nothing Nothing but holes and millions of them Living in holes Dying in holes Holes in our bellies and Holes in our clothes Marat we're poor And the poor stay poor Marat don't make us wait any more We want our rights and we don't...

Which, like so much to do with brexit, has proved (at least, so far) an impossible promise. Sort-of, like Cameron saying he'd stay... Reminds me of the story, however true, false or mis-reported, of the US state defining pi as exactly 3. No matter the impossibility of making wheels with...

So glad he managed before the end of October. A Frenchman who really wanted t get to England. Franky Zapata crosses Channel by hoverboard at second attempt French inventor flies from northern France to Dover on jet-powered ‘Flyboard’

Who invented the term "honour the result of the referendum"? Utter bilge. If anything, it should be the voters who are honoured. My choice of doing so would be to ensure that the issue is referred back to the electorate. Of course, whether as a GE or a referendum is a matter for discussion. So...

There is plenty there to be concerned about in what is accepted in that article. By the way, how much would it cost to have 11,000 lorries queuing on the M20? How much extra pollution as they sit with chiller units running and regular start, move a little, stop as the queue moves? I was...

Meanwhile, back at brexit... Secret report reveals government fear of schools chaos after no-deal Brexit Risk of axed exams and food shortages, while informing the public ‘may cause panic’ Schools may have to close, exams could be disrupted and fresh food for pupils’ meals could run short...

Think about it for a minute (if you need that long, a few seconds should suffice). If the old man were off the internet, he wouldn't be able to post insults or anything else.

Which depends on the belief that low income workers would have done better with the UK not in the EU, and will in future do better by the UK leaving the EU. Neither is obvious, proved, or even explained to a reasonable level. The UK government has continued not to do everything which has been...

Could you describe what would happen in 2024, after the backstop has been in force all that time, there is no real FTA, and the backstop gets torn up? I can't see an alternative to a hard border. But the effective border would move from Irish Sea to the land border. Thus NI would suddenly change...

Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited on Friday and promised a "major rebuild" of the dam. Oh, so not a minor rebuild? Some expanding foam and slap on bit of mortar not quite enough, I assume. I guess it will be a "great big beautiful, beautiful dam".

Our Home Secretary has some way to understand what she is saying: The new home secretary, Priti Patel, has said she wants criminals to "literally feel terror" at the thought of breaking the law. Many of us (all of us, I'd guess) want the police to be far, far better than they are. But the most...

People did notice, though. At least some - like you OG.

Whaley Bridge: Boris Johnson visits amid fears of dam collapse PM tells residents that Toddbrook reservoir looks ‘dodgy but stable’ What an amazing coincidence we have a so-called PM who just happens to be a dam expert. (Rather than those damned experts...) I agree. There are many things...
