Too loving timid? The run up to Libya was endless tub thumping about how important it was to give Johnny Foreigner a taste of our Brimstone missiles in the face of all our allies telling us that we really didn't need to bother.

Maybe, but didnt you just have an extra strut to your stride when you were walking to you zero hour contract Amazon warehouse in those days? All proud to be British because dirty foreigners were being blown to bits by Her Maj's RAF - Spitfires over the white cliffs of Dover, what?

Yeah that was the only notable part of his speech and only because it was rather forebodingly Orwellian. Also like the Graun just saying "and then he rambled about anti-Semitism" with the dismissive tone it warrants.

French watchdog says EU market rules need overhaul after Brexitquote:LONDON (Reuters) - Britain’s departure from the European Union next March will force a full review of the bloc’s sweeping new markets rules, including tougher market access conditions for foreign trading platforms, a top French regulator said on Monday. Funny how this comes out right after Raab warns the EU against trying to bully the UK. His Divine Shadow posted:Whats wrong with horse meat? Goes great in peperoni style sausages for one. It's just a problem when the meat's supposed to be beef. No way to know where that horse meat came from.

It never fails to amaze me that young Tories (or really any Tories younger than the 110 year old lich kings they keep in their private members' clubs) think that the RoI rejoining the UK is a solution to the border or to Brexit or something that would ever happen. SF would take their seats, their arms, and their gifted rubber ducks before that happened. So here's three things more likely to happen than the RoI rejoining the UK.

There's no chance of Ireland rejoining the UK voluntarily, you're quite right, but your average 'young' Tory probably a) remembers 1922 and b) thinks it was a mistake.
