Brexiters, if you can't understand why the EU won't let you send goods unchecked into their territory let me explain it to you in simple terms:
A question: would you buy a car, sight unseen, from someone you didn't know? I'm assuming you aren't completely stupid, so I'll say no.
As someone who used to design customs borders for a living I can confirm that it would indeed be an act of self harm. But then I also want the UK to do it to experience it for themselves.

I wonder how many realise the Brexit import checks were never done and never will be. ..? It'd be too much (Mogg's words) "self harm".
thus from Brexit date 1/1/21, the unilateral advantaging of the EU (their exporters over UK counterparts)... & smugglers ...will continue.
The only solutions are rejoining the EU (SM & CU),
or (the incumbent Govt's apparent plan) extending the Windsor Framework to the whole UK.
This latter *will* level up the playing field for GB producers & remove the worst of the GB/NI border controls, but also make the whole UK a genuine vassal state to the EU, which the Brexiters always lied we were when an EU/ECJ member, with full representation

He's busy looking for a country that'll put up with his shitfuckery and doesnt have an extradition treaty with the UK.

As with previous years I won't be wearing a poppy. I refuse to wear one while it has been co-opted by the ultra nationalist scum pretending to be patriots.
I shall donate though.
Anyone know why we've silenced these 67 people? What did they do?
And "think" is doing some heavy lifting here.
Do you know what I can't get my head around? That the strongest military in the world went to war on the orders of man with pre-frontal dementia. They'd blindly accept orders that were morally unjustifiable even though they were issued by a sick man.
Books you regret picking up: a portrait of Scarlett Johanssen, and then you realise the pages are crusty and stuck together. 🤢🤮
Re the current protests in France: Those who fail to learn the lessons from history inevitable blame Muslims.
The interesting question for me is the difference in aspiration between these 2 vehicles. One captures the joi de vivre of the Cote d'Azure, sunshine, pastis and good food. The other reflects urban survival: bulletproof, aggressiveness, nothing positive.
I know which one I like
