Boris, not known nor revered for his honesty, does at least understand what I’m saying.

Btw, I like the letter in today’s Tory graph that suggests he adds a letter to accompany the letter drafted by Labour to say that he, the UK PM did not write the other letter and it is not the UK guvmin’s policy. Cat, pigeons and indignation’s will follow. Can’t wait.
But the challenge for others is the Brexit solution for going forward is "things will be better" - high on emotion, low on detail.

The last 3 years have shown that we’re not very good at negotiating (and you can’t just blame the EU for being "obstructive" or "perfidious", because if you don’t understand/agree that other major countries will be equally, if nor more, "tough" in negotiating, I’ve got a bridge you can buy...).

I don’t live my life hoping "something magic" will make my life better, but that appears to be our Government’s current approach.

YMMV

Re your 2nd letter comment

https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/br...johnson-video/
Quote:
Lord Sumption. who retired from the 12-judge Supreme Court in 2018, strongly rejected the idea, saying it would be in breach of the law.

Asked if such a move would be legal, he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “No, of course it wouldn’t. The Bill, or Act as it’s about to become, says that he’s got to apply for an extension. Not only has he got to send the letter, he’s got to apply for an extension.

“To send the letter and then try to neutralise it seems to me, plainly, is a breach of the Act. What you’ve got to realise is the courts are not very fond of loopholes.”

If Mr Johnson refused to hand over the letter Lord Sumption said: “He would be in contempt of court.

“He would I suspect have to put up with the resignation of the Justice Secretary and Attorney General and probably other members of his Cabinet.”

He also added that: “There are plenty of ways in which this kind of obligation can be enforced.”

Suppose it will have to go to a proper court now and waste more money.

Re: PM Boris forms a government

Nigel Farage offers Boris Johnson no-deal Brexit election pact.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...ggression-pact

Quote:
The Brexit party leader urged the prime minister to strike an agreement to stand jointly in favour of no deal, at a time of increasing speculation that Johnson is revisiting ways of making a version of Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement work.
Quote:
A No 10 spokesman said Johnson rejected the idea of an alliance with Farage, saying he “has been clear – no pact”.
Personally l cannot see this happening.

Since when have remainers been worried about wasting money? It helps their negative "cost of Brexit" balance sheet.

Why,the non-smokers didn't suddenly rush to become pub customers and public houses started closing in droves as smokers stayed at home and bought their drink from supermarkets.

I do agree that some pubs should have been allowed to declare a no -smoking policy but to force it on all...

Yep, stayed at home drinking and smoking in front of their kids . . well thought out policy wasn't it.

Oh, and improved (legislated) ventilation in separate rooms would have been enough to allow smoking in some places . . with of course the obligatory warning signs for those who were too thick to understand the difference between smoking and non smoking areas
