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.

What's this actually measuring? Is Porthcawl actually more dangerous than Cardiff, or is per capita measuring and/or availability of hospital beds screwing things up?

Mr Johnson, who has been pressing for a deal similar to the one the EU finalised a deal with Canada in 2017, has said he couldn't accept the UK remaining "locked" into the EU's legal system, or being punished if it diverged from EU standards.

I wonder if he's ever read the CETA an executive summary of the EU Canada trade agreement because that has enforcement and standard provisions throughout, not to mention that it forced Canada to open up its waters for fishing.

Much to the chagrin of Canadian fishermen:

But this can work if timed correctly and done in the right way.

The EU gets its mandate from the European Council, so if you can influence its membership you can get what you want at the next meeting but this can never be seen to be or called negotiation as I understand it.

I think the plan from the Tories was, and to an extent still is, to play brinksmanship and signal that you’re totally willing to commit national suicide and have no deal so that you hold the upper hand in negotiations. So it’s them trying to attract us not to do a terrible thing for everyone, instead of us begging for scraps to keep our country afloat.

However, I also think that a lifetime of propaganda, and ramping up in intensity over the last few years, has been swallowed by the idiots in charge, and every day the thoughts of “you know what, we SHOULD do no deal, Britannia rules the waves, we’ll bounce back stronger than ever, good old Blighty sneers in the face of foreign cowards, and we’re such brain geniuses we’re the perfect people to guide the country through these waters, and also our supporters will go mental if we seem to capitulate” grow stronger and stronger in what suffices for a mind in these people.

This relies on the main people in Europe not being sick to death of Boris and the Tories being a bunch of cunts all the time.
I wouldn't put money on that at the best of times.

It occurred to me yesterday that if, somehow, the UK ended up in an EEA-style relationship with the EU, it would smooth over a lot of the upcoming problems... and then the UK would be back in Brussels in January going "so this EEA thing, do you think we could somehow have all the benefits but stop the free movement?" and flinging threats about EEAxit.

So I'm not sure the EU would go for that.
