Did I miss the memo? Is the UK leaving Europe? Narrator: No it’s not.

Current estimates suggest over half a million Europeans have been vaccinated. All of them on Plague Island mind you...

More recently this: https://mobile.twitter.com/deeksj/status/1340975390412685312 Hopefully there will be a better write up than just a Twitter thread. What’s going to be the truth in the end? PCR is too sensitive and LTF not sensitive enough?

All of those actions were political. And remember when we were all going to die because we ate British beef? I’m still waiting... Is it any wonder that the experts are discredited by the public?

Exactly. Its a fast moving situation but as far as I know the Netherlands stopped all passenger travel but continued to allow freight. There's no good reason for what the French have done, they've had to wrap it up in a Covid blanket and say its for 48 hours. It can't stick or they'll be in trouble.

They can’t do it to non-EU nations either so there should be an agreement soon. A 48 hour stoppage in this crisis is not doing anything to help just annoying people before Xmas. They’re pretty much annexing Eire as well as the UK and if the 18hour Eire to France ferry was preferable to the use of the UK’s roads, they would have been doing it for decades...

Why is this in the Brexit thread?

Was new to me. Only another 12 months of barrel scraping tv to go due to Covid. At least Mrs Brown’s Boys is in contract for another 5 years ?

I’m a big fan of the Tolix design. They’re definitely robust.

be careful then.

just (expletive deleted)ing paint it. You really won't notice it up there.

Just do that and move on, you won’t notice the paint with that dodgy little square tile visible.

I’m sure all those other-privileged contributors will be able to nail exactly what the problem is. (Hint: it’s not race)

In case you hadn’t you heard, gardens are racist now so we should just cancel this talk.

Hobbyists are the worst. Nerdy, opinionated, poor social skills, you name it.

And the rest.

I sympathise. Whenever I watch a gardening programmes I just see thousands of ££££ tossed around the place as though it’s nothing and then no comeback to see how things went. Oh do (expletive deleted) off with your *being sociable* to other people.

I'm so glad Parliament was recalled and all these Brexit issues were resolved. I'm also far more concerned about the Coronavirus legislation imposed this year than the proroguing of parliament last year and its funny how someone who has grown up in Northern Ireland during the 80s/90s now gets sniffy about *checks notes* arcane legal interpretations in Parliament. As I recall 2 previous courts had called either way on the matter. You must have a much greater appreciation of state oppression than most of us can imagine.

I was brought up in Wales so I am sympathetic to the various strands of Celtic ethno-nationalism but after living in England for 20+ years, I'm inclined to (expletive deleted) them all off. The Scot's plans for financial independence look ropey at best, how easily could Rep of Ireland and Northern Ireland merge? I suppose the most visible affect for many will be personal tax rates and the provision of healthcare.

You really think that? They are just woefully incompetent. The are not dismantling the state and unaccountably oppressing late sections of the population.

You're right, social science is not your field.

No deal will be a disaster but it would take unqualified levels of shithousery by Her Maj's Govt for me to give complete governance to the EU by staying in.

Loads of work done to show that it isn’t about xenophobia but social issues. Instead, you come out with (and get away with) the cheap ad homs? ?‍♂️

No ceiling cat. #DiSapPoINtEd
