No deal Brexit's on for sure then, get a big delivery in of essentials, toiletries and booze if you can and get ready to ride out the next few months in a blissful stupor.

I wonder what insult it was that Boris eventually stammered out to make the EU roll their eyes and go "okay, gently caress it, we officially give up".

this, combined with the post-Xmas COVID surge, is going to make for a wild January

Sure is a shame that the economic damage from Covid is going to offset the glorious boon from Brexit, which was actually a good thing all along, and the Covid damage would have been a lot worse had we not Brexited, all the bad stuff is due to Covid and those loving scroungers with their furlough payments, so we will be gutting *spins wheel* disability benefit to pay for it, loving scroungers

South Leics Tory MP Alberto Costa is proposing a return to jus soli citizenship as well as some balls about ceremonies for the 'best citizens', but apparently it's popular.

A big citizenship ceremony where everyone involved is extremely uncomfortable and embarrassed but has to pretend to be having a great time is really the perfect introduction to life as a Brit. In seriousness, all sounds pretty good and I'm surprised and heartened that there appears to be such support for it.

Yeah I'm hoping that being both popular and run by a Tory from one of the most traditionally 'market town and village green' areas of the country might give it enough weight that we at least see an end to the £5,000 citizenship fees and the stupid as poo poo situation where you can be born in Britain and still not know whether or not you're a citizen.

The proposals aren't terrible, actually. Making citizenship cheaper and easier isn't a bad thing.

Remember that Boris' job at this point is to be the 'man' whom everyone can blame for Brexit and Covid, so that when the rest of the Tories band together to throw him out the window (politically-speaking), whoever takes over as PM (Gove) can simply point to Boris Johnson, ex-Prime Minister and say "We've dealt with the problem, now we're moving on".

While I sort of agree it was him specifically who chose not to extend the transition period during a pandemic

Yes, returning to jus soli is a good thing, it was only Thatcher's fear of immigrants that got rid of it in the first place.

Thanks all. I've been doing some research and apparently this isn't that uncommon with Three as their billing department is all hosed up right now. Going to wait for them to figure it out.

IANAL but as I understand it with billing errors like this, when they eventually do work it out there's a kind of statute of limitations thing where they can only go back so far to claim you owe them. So maybe look up how far that is and prepare for them to spring a bill on you at some point. They'll probably try and claim for the whole thing, and you can do the whole "this was your error and this is outrageous treatment etc etc" thing, and then hopefully you can get them to waive most of it to keep you as a loyal customer. But knowing where that maximum claimable line is in advance is good so you can press them to calculate the goodwill from there and not, like, the whole amount.

Regret to inform you all that awful person J.K. Rowling is at it again, claiming that most people support her in private but are "afraid of vicious, pro-equality advocates."

I wish I lived in her world where transphobes were meek and mild and apologetic and mobs of advocates roamed the streets viciously enforcing equality.

So what happens in 2 weeks? Will we see the boris government toppled if they can't negotiate a trade deal?

There's a rare Unherd article (rare in that it doesn't immediately make you want to claw your eyes out for reading it) that points out that Boris Johnson is actually doing pretty well. His electoral coalition is holding together, the Tories are polling unusually strongly for a parry that's been in office so long, Johnson's personal ratings are improving and Keir Starmer has failed to provide a strong and visible alternative political offer.

Some will say that nobody outside of SW1 really knows who Keir Starmer is, or what he believes. And I do think that in our heart of hearts we all know that there is something missing — there is just not much charisma, much va-va-voom.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

This was the original creators back in the 70s isn't it? No plastic coverings, anything made was either wrapped in brown paper, string, or newspaper.
When no one in 14 billion years upto that point thought 'hang on, can we can sell pre-made sandwiches?'.

There are still places around soho that sell sandwiches just like that. They’re behind the counter and you ask for what you want. Good for a lunch rush.
