Britainâs Brexit planning makes a big leap forwardâŚ
Ah, big step forward, that must be to limit the quantity of shit hitting the fan! 
I would think theyâll need food and beds as well.
Still - it will boost the hospitality sector there.
Itâs a little funny now that Boris is turning his back on The people of the northern England the same people that helped him get brexit I wonder if the feel a little stupid now supporting him
I think that goes for everyone North & South (East & West also!)
If only it did Mat - incredibly, the Tories are still not very far from where they were at the last election in the polls - still on about 40%, absolutely level with Labour.
Just saw this on HIGNFY. Hilarious https://metro.co.uk/2020/10/14/wirral-pub-mocks-three-bellends-johnson-hancock-and-cummings-with-new-sign-13423981/
Not just Covid but other issues covered as well:
I know that the following is a little tongue in cheek but it is interesting - it sort of washes over you as each little idiocy, mini self-contradiction and sliver of incompetence merges into the time line; but when set out together it is remarkable how awful Johnson & the Tories are.
I considered cut ânâ paste but it is very long and it would not be fair to the author to risk losing the attribution - but it is very worth reading, preferably imagining Jonathan Pie going full tilt at it.
and they still wonder at why people are saying the UK is the laughing stock of the world!
Shame that the third item is fake news though 
As I said the whole thing is tongue in cheek and might not stand up to rigorous fact checking (though I reckon it is broadly correct) - Iâm not sure if including that item was a mistake or a knowing wink to the satire involved.
The only viable way to level up.
Another brilliant excoriation of the UK governmentâs deeply corrupt links with big businessâŚ
I must admit the really revealing thing at the moment is that it is not just the left wing press which is criticising the government but the right wing press as well (although their attacks tend to be centred more on Johnson himself).
I read it this morning Geof. It didnât surprise me and, whatâs worse, none of these bastards will ever be called to account. They are totally amoral, unscrupulous people. If Trump gets back in Iâm building a bunker.
Of course you know thngs really look bad when Nigel Farage, of all people, is criticising the government for being too right wing over school meals 
Farage is part of the broad realignment of the right - as are Cummings/Johnson, though they canât quite shake off neo-liberal ideology that is still the life-blood of the Tory Party.
This realignment has largely ditched the old âmarket-knows-bestâ idea - which indeed has clearly failed - and combines more left-wing economics with extreme social conservatism (much like some forms of fascism). On the Continent it is more mature - if you look at the policies of the Truth & Justice Party in Poland, for example, you will find many âleftâ economic interventions combined with extreme attacks on âidentityâ political issues; LePenâs old Front Nationale was undoubtedly racist, but voted for Hollandeâs wealth tax, which the centre-right opposed, and even Macron half-opposed.
The failure of neo-liberalism, globalisation, etc, is also tangled with responses to climate/ecological breakdown. There are only 2 rational responses to this - the leftâs (ie. urgent radical change to capitalism) and this new rightâs: retire behind national barriers, gated communities and private islands and live out a selfish life even if all hell breaks loose. Hateful, but at least logically defensible if you really donât care much about other people, or foreigners anyway.
