    Isn't it a satire on project fear? Or am I giving the Sunday sport unwanted credit

    I was thinking that. But now I think maybe it is a strategy (Leave.EU? Putin?) to plant really outlandish Brexit scare stories in the press over the next 6 months so Brexiteers can start trying to dismiss genuine negative Brexit stories by association.
    Does anybody read the Sunday Sport?
    Elfsborg.
    I've seen him.

    I think the more pertinent question is "Do they employ any editors?". Or are they using some kind of app to select, collate and print their stories?

    I wonder if he still thinks we can see his trolling. He must be fuming :smiley:

    I just came across that. Wish I hadn't. The only reason I can think of to doubt it is, as some tweets point out, that it would require a unity of purpose within this government that is absolutely not in evidence.

    It’s a nice conspiracy theory, but I can’t see it as much more than that - not least because I highly doubt our government could pull something like this off.

    I'm sure it's what some of them want to happen, but the hurdles to pull it off are too high, I would hope
  • Appropriately enough, Britain is being hellbanned from global relevance. Still yelling all sorts of nonsense, but nobody will be able to hear us or care
  • A couple of interesting (though not exactly reassuring) articles in the Irish Times today.

    The leader column is not entirely positive about HMG's stance this week: https://irishtimes.com/opinion/editorial/the-irish-times-view-on-jeremy-hunt-s-history-lesson-offensive-and-preposterous-1.3647909. The final couple of sentences are really quite scathing.

    The backstop remains a live issue (and, in reality, some common ground on the backstop has to be agreed within the week or so, to demonstrate sufficient progress for the EU27 in two weeks to agree to holding a special summit in November), and there is considerable pressure on the UK to provide legally workable wording: https://irishtimes.com/news/politics/pressure-builds-on-may-to-present-her-brexit-border-plan-1.3648155 & https://irishtimes.com/news/politics/brexit-full-animal-checks-proposed-as-part-of-backstop-deal-1.3648152.

    Meanwhile, Arlene Foster continues to do her utmost to "support" the continuation of the Peace Process in her own inimitable style: https://irishtimes.com/news/politics/foster-says-belfast-agreement-is-not-untouchable-1.3648709.

    Looking at things in the round, what could possibly go wrong???

    Listening to May squirming and doing everything she could to avoid admitting this was the result of her policies on Today this morning was excruciating. She even got turned over on BBC Breakfast by the bloke more used to interviewing footballers (whose name escapes me...).

    Needless to say she ran the default position of trying to blame Labour on both occasions.

    Here is a young man who would not be looking so stupid today, if only he had been following this thread for a while...


  • Not sure it’s fair to engage these people in debate. They really have no idea about the reality of the situation. Only the sound bite nonsense spouted by the usual suspects.
