LMAO at Farage not even pretending anymore:

Meghan has made Prince Harry less popular, says Farage

BBC posted:

"And then - a brave British officer who did his bit in Afghanistan - he was the most popular royal of a younger generation that we've seen for 100 years.

"And then he met Meghan Markle, and it's fallen off a cliff."

Brexit! (Party leader)

e: bonus Brexit! article from the Graun: How we met - ‘When he got through passport control, I was deliriously happy!’

quote:

A few months later, Nkosi came to the UK so he could meet her family and friends. Clara waited at Gatwick for him. Hours passed. “Finally I got a call, about five or six hours after his plane landed, saying he was being detained and questioned.” She was interviewed a couple of times on the phone, sitting in an airport cafe. “Eventually they told me he was going to be sent back to Trinidad and Tobago, that they weren’t satisfied that he was coming here on a holiday to see his girlfriend.”

Clara managed to find out where Nkosi was being held and, having missed the visiting hours, she pleaded to be able to see him. She was told she had 15 minutes. “It was pretty bittersweet,” she says. The obstacles to being together, says Nkosi, “made me work harder – that became the inspiration”.

Clara had qualified as a primary school teacher and for the next two years went to Tobago every school holiday. Nkosi tried again to come to the UK last year. This time, despite being questioned for several hours again, he was allowed to enter. “When he got through, I was almost delirious with happiness,” says Clara.

Recently seen a squaddie being trained how to refill a petrol station.

There was also something in the news a week or two ago about DFT giving permission for people to drive lorries even if they didn't have the correct qualifications. Although if the roads get jammed up with trucks they at least won't be moving fast enough to do too much damage.

When the roads are crowded and there's huge backups, what you really want are a bunch of barely-trained underqualified commercial drivers trying to maneuver their unfamiliar machines in the middle of it all. Can't see any problems with this plan at all.

Aug 29, 2008

And I think the plan in case of delays at the major ports and motorways is still to send shipping onto smaller ports, send trucks down alternate routes on smaller roads, and close lanes on dual carriageways to use them as lorry parks. If they're actually mad enough to go through with this it's going to shut down the roads for regular traffic for a huge chunk of the country.

The main road between England and Scotland along the east coast isn't even a dual carriageway for long stretches (mostly on the English side)

A major factor in how long it takes to drive between Newcastle and Edinburgh is whether a farmer decides to drive his tractor at the same time

Lmao. I can't find a link to the poll.

This was a bit curious.

"The poll showed 46% disagreed with the statement. The result was based on the answers of 1,645 respondents, after those who said they did not know their preference had been excluded."

So if like that "I don't know" bucket is >4% then the headline is literally false

Apparently that was a Daily Telegraph poll which is the most Tory of all the Tory rags.

It's literally a lie carefully crafted to have just enough truth so as to not get them done for their dodgy journalism. This country is so hosed when even the free press may as well just be state owned for all the good they do.
