Crikey, where have you been ?

It stopped being WWF a long time ago, as it the same abbreviations were getting mixed up with World Wide Fund for Nature, who successfully sued due to an agreement bring breached over the use of “WWF”, thus it then became WWE.

The issue I have is that is seems there are many people who have applied who get turned down, seemingly in favour of Billy Mitchell. Who also seems to be so cosy with production, his questions have been aired at least 3 times.

Mmm, yes, I’m totally going to believe the interpretation placed on a contextless photograph by a Facebook page that went out of date in 2014.

Re: Brexit

Just been said on Radio 4 that nearly half of UK pensioners live in other EU countries, I never thought it would be that many.

Edit: Correction now made, it wasn't nearly half of pensioners, but nearly half a million pensioners.

I thought it was a lot!

As soon as the Referendum result was known the government should of started planning and seeing that referendum was 30 months ago and they have only just started planing for this a few months ago it is clear incompetence just like all the other things they have only just started planning for in the past few months.

Its been a complete omnishambles by HMG since the result was known and anybody who thinks otherwise needs to take their rose tinted glasses off.

There does seem to be a 9 month period when what triggering A50 would mean should have been looked at in depth by HMG, which has been forgotten. Perhaps because there was the Tory leadership, then calling an ill thought out General Election. During which time the EU were preparing for A50 being triggered.

Meanwhile there seems to be a total head in the sand attitude to "no deal" and the dire consequences of this option.
