Tories tricking the EU... or even the word negotiations. Hah!

Back when there was a chance the UK might come to its senses the EU took things slowly to not look too harsh if Brexit was reversed or was going to be very soft.

Now the EU's united against the UK and the Tories have zero leverage to negotiate. They're getting a Hobson's choice on the terms and there will be no loving about with extensions. There's no words for how fed up people are looking at Johnson and his lackeys and the EU, overwhelmingly supported by public opinion, will no longer be tolerating dithering about or Dumb Tory Bullshit.

When the deadline hits, there better be big reasons that are in no way the fault of the UK in reality or in the public's eyes for an extension to even be a real consideration. EU's been prepared to walk away from the table since the 2017 election, and Corbyn was the only open question. Even before that significant EU factions were calling for just telling Britain to gently caress off without any deal at all. Now the side calling for leniency has more or less joined them.

Or in shorter terms: Every major faction in the EU that doesn't hate the British in general really hate the Tories now. It's less of a negotiation and more the Tories being presented with two options, labeled "gently caress you" and "gently caress off".

lol the tories are going to blame the big bad unelected eurocrats for not giving BRITAN the best deal ever and the gammons are going to believe them

Apparently they can stay in yokohama instead since they tested negative, even.

They'd have to pay for their own food and accomodation though, that might be the issue.

They tested positive today lol

When was he last seen? How did he look?

the last public appearance was his direct-to-cam performance on Friday, in retrospect he does sound pretty short of breath (and looks horrendus but i was attributing that to the cumulative forty year hangover

what are some good regular whiskeys from the uk/ireland that don't taste 100% of smoked peat? i like whiskey but not scotch in general; i've had JW black and blue, and like jameson just fine but my taste is pretty unrefined. i buy evan williams in the states but we're just overflowing with good bourbon at the moment

Glenlivet isn't smoky at all because they don't incorporate peat in the barley malting

they're going to boil the frog by not intervening now, hoping everyone will just forget that their gas and electric bills normally reduce during the summer and then 'help' in the autumn when prices rise AGAIN with a 'we're going to reduce tax/VAT on fuel prices/etc' for next winter
