I still think it's hilarious that KAP (Kent Access Permit) is a thing that exists thanks to Brexit; according to the BBC over 80 drivers have been fined for entering Kent without it so far.BBC posted:Police said at least 84 enforcement notices had been issued to drivers entering the county without a Kent Access Permit (KAP).

Yep, hauliers require a Kermit to enter Kent because the UK government are loving muppets.

The loophole is basically that you have to meet a bunch of requirements to join the eurozone, some fiscal/budgetary and some are things you have to sign. It's mainly the second that's the real loophole but, either way, even though there's an obligation to join the euro after meeting those conditions there's no obligation to meet them. e: Incidentally those requirements were some of the things Greece fiddled with, which is also why there was some (relatively marginal and almost entirely far-right TBF) debate about making them leave the eurozone, but practically that was unfeasible, without a valid legal mechanism and with no clear political benefit.

Apologies for the doublepost but LMBO the UK got so upset about other countries requiring a test from travellers from the UK that they will also require a test from travellers from those countries. The justification is, and no this is not a joke, "to stop the spread of potential dangerous new strands from abroad". Uhh, hang on, uh- TBH it wouldn't be funny if it weren't for that incredibly petty "justification". e: And you still have to self-isolate regardless of the result, because that's a different law and it would be too much  to change I guess.

South African Covid might be vaccine proof and doesn't currently have a foothold in the country so that isn't complete nonsense. The application of it does just seem spiteful stupidity though

There is no loving way the EU would let us back in. brexit to the EU must be like finally getting a rowdy drunk turfed out of your nightclub by the bouncers after he'd spent his whole time in there harassing and insulting everyone and complaining loudly about how poo poo the place is and fighting with the bar staff about prices. you're not going to let that guy back in

I got back from Tesco earlier and there were a lot of near-empty shelves. Gammons on Twitter are insisting it's not because of Brexit, but because of another round of panic buying. The place had plenty of rice, pasta and toilet roll. It was all the fresh produce sections that were empty and I doubt people are hoarding bags of spinach, apples and fresh orange juice.
