Shocked to hear Boris Johnson was at an hospital & actually shook hands with patients who had the corona virus!? What type of clueless idiot shakes hands with Boris Johnson?!
Brexit, for once some facts.

Re the lorry with chiller, I was thinking about, say, a lorry being used between RoI and NI not just on the immediate border but right across the area. If Green is illegal in NI, and Red in RoI, then how do they manage it? Dipping would (so we are told) allow detection of recent use of red or green. The only answer I can see is two tanks - and emptying one/filling the other before crossing.
An intensive care isolation shed only takes a day to put up in the back garden - with that on my CV (and O'level art grade C) I'm applying for the 'Weirdos and misfits with odd skills' government job.
Damn 'Anderson' beat me to it

Doing so might pass on covid-19 - but just what will you get passed the other way?
While we are still EU members, duty paid in any state remains the only duty payable as a consumable. However I was referring to tankers loaded with cargos of the stuff. It would be legal to pump that green stuff out into a pipe line in the RoI ,and transfer it into a tank ,still on the RoI, then it magically becomes transparent in a pipeline going into a tanker on the NI side. It is if a tanker cargo were the wrong colour ,that there is evidence of a crime
Is the new passport really blue or black?
The new UK blue passport is as "near as damn it black", an expert on colours says.

With the government we have in place the best we can hope for is a row of Army surplus Bivouacs, a Hurricane lamp , esbit stove, billy can and K ration packs
(Bring your own blanket, those army ones itch like hell)
Well at least now we know the Government is colour blind as well as stupidly incompetent

Tory minister wants Boris Johnson to reconsider bridge proposals... for a tunnel
The Scottish secretary Alister Jack wants Boris Johnson to reconsider his proposal for a bridge between Scotland and Northern Ireland by opting for a tunnel instead.
Speaking during an evidence session in the Scottish parliament, Jack said a link between the two countries would boost the economies of Northern Ireland and south-west Scotland, while also strengthening the union.
But he said a tunnel would not face the same problems posed to any potential bridge project by the Second World War munitions dump at Beaufort's Dyke in the Irish Sea.
When asked by SNP MSP Kenneth Gibson about the idea of a bridge, Jack said: "I'm very keen on it now, but it's not a bridge that I'm keen on, it's a tunnel.
"It's no different to the tunnels connecting the Faroes, it's not different to the tunnels underneath the fjords, and it deals with the problem of Beaufort's Dyke and the World War Two munitions.
"The bridge for me is a euphemism for a link, which is a tunnel."

If we can manage to survive in a crisis for five months without it, could we ask for the suspension to be permanent?

Clear evidence that the government believes that leaving the EU will seriously damage our currency. Therefore they take the usual defensive measure, switch to gold.

My guess is a massive upsurge in allegations of antisemitism in Labour. If you have no defence, point your finger at someone else.
