He has had several self-imposed deadlines, and missed them all.
Is he frit?

Speaking of which, hope you've survived unscathed thus far.
Just because we beat you at rugby more often than you can deal with...
And he will be General Galtieri.
Some meaty stuff (if you pardon the pun) in that thread. The British Sausage in NI gets a 6-month reprieve.

Back in 2016 it seemed barely possible we would be left with the 2 worst Brexit outcomes. Neither of which are acceptable
GCSEs will go the same way in England, probably far too late to come up with meaningful alternatives.
By twats. For twats.
To be...
Not to be...
That is quite a connection.

Famously the first minister of agriculture to be ploughed by a Field.
UVDL is a huge improvement on Junckers
But also: Boris's deal promises to be a bit rubbish (what with the whole not-trying-for-services-access-at-all, and not-enough-people-in-booths-at-ports things). If a deal tuns out rubbish, it's nobody's fault but his. If no deal turns out rubbish, he can blame those damn foreigners.
He's a terrible politician and person, but has a definite cunning for sensing this sort of thing.
It's 2B or not 2B.
Anyone with half a brain could have told you it would be a clusterfuck. Indeed many on here did just that.
Oh but this is not the "true" Brexit, right? Like "proper" socialism hasn't been tried.
Brexit: 'Strong possibility' of no trade deal with EU - PM https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-55266678
You say he was fit in 2016 but maybe he's just very good at reading the runes? Had he run in 2016 and lost would he ever have become PM?
Johnson, you see, can do more than merely contradict himself about some matter of fact. So you fail to credit him with being the most accomplished liar in public life (as Rory Stewart put it: "a lifetime of practice and study has allowed Johnson to uncover new possibilities which go well beyond all the classifications of dishonesty attempted by classical theorists like St Augustine.")

It's the disgraced national security risk Liam Fox.
And it does not alter the schoolboy rubbish of those tweets

But that was a decision that needed to be taken a month ago and properly planned and communicated. Taking it now merely makes life more difficult.
What worries me is that our immediate, contingent, reason for leaving will be pescatorial.
I'm trying to come up with the most famous/memorable cuckolded man in history.
The entry requirement for this is that the cuckolded chap has had to pretend a child really is his
So I'm thinking Robert Boothby/Harold MacMillan, but can you (and other PBers) come up with anyone better?
Anyone who suggests Saint Joseph is a naughty tinker, as I'm limiting this to real people.
We have a lot more continuity trade thanks to Truss, we have sorted the Irish border and we have prepared for No Deal with all the customs site at least at basic levels of construction.
It's almost just the EU breakdown to consider and many businesses (far from all) have prepared for that all along.
For clarity I'd still prefer a deal, but not at any price.
Notice from Granddaughter's school
Their loss.
We keep getting told UVDL lacks the mandate to negotiate only the Commission (Macron, Merkel etc) can change the mandate - but don't talk to the Commission.
How does that make any sense? You need to negotiate with the decision makers not the monkeys.

Googling won't help you.
Sad to hear of the death of Paolo Rossi. He was a key part of what I still regard as the greatest game of football I have ever seen - the 1982 World Cup Quarter-Final between Italy and Brazil which the Italians won 3-2.
Most Western countries have been an absolute clusterfunk with respect to covid policy. And the key issue he was elected to do was enact Brexit. We won't now how that's going to fully shake out for perhaps a year or two. Likewise the economic impact of covid, where the biggest test is still to come - executing the vaccine programme and ignoring the scientific advisors and aggressively dropping all mandated restrictions once the most vulnerable have been jabbed.
Due to outbreaks in bubbles, one on mine is at a school where 2 year groups out of 7 are in self-isolation and the other is at a school where 3 out of 7 are similarly out.
Mine are still at school, but if either of them gets a self-isolation ticket next week, then Christmas is off, isn't it?
