    In short, I want UK to think for its self and to not worry about the EU and seek a UK exemption deal with America.

    I don't know, I've never thought about it, you ask, they point, you smile, you walk; it is how it is.

    Maybe we should have McDonalds run for government.

    What, LHD? at a UK Drive-Thru?
    The prospect of that (and busses, big red things and the need to over take them) stopped me from buying a nice little LHD rare Opel (from the sun/Spain/no rust I assumed); I didn't buy it because Drive-Thru's and over taking the bus... Not appealing in that little LHD GM-father company convertible I wanted.

    Do you reach over?
    You must reach over.

    I'd have to be careful. Our American cousins might confuse it with a reach-around

    Much better! It's important that we don't threaten the "special relationship". Britain is needed to try and legitimise US wars. It's only fair! If it wasn't for US sidewinders, we'd have lost the Falklands. That may then have empowered Jersey to attack. Britain would have been finished (a little earlier)...

    What Wars, the EU promises to fight for NI and Gibraltar...
    I wonder who's in a trade war and who wants to protect the Good Friday Agreement.
    UK must have cherries to secure the Good Friday Day Agreement and cherries to secure the exemption from American tariffs.

    To say there is no cherry, is war on land and a war on trade.

    There's only so many times that can be used.... I think we've legitimised their mad foreign forrays enough to be able to kick that into touch

    Just one more? One moment of utter insanity just to wave the Union flag one more time? There's only so many costume dramas that I can watch to feed my Vince Cabelian nostalgic urges

    Vince Cable is like some doddering old uncle that you put in the wing-backed chair in the corner at family Christmas parties give him a cup of tea and a mince pie and let him dribble quietly to himself until mad aunt myrtle gathers him up and carts him off home.

    British Virgin Islands are complaining that we haven't done much for their post-hurricane rebuild. Might be some mileage in that. Front for WMD I reckon. Right under our overseas territory noses

    I can't agree. I trust them implicitly. They don't sell Kasha after all

    He's an embarrassment - his one and only claim to fame was to predict the recession caused by the US subprime mortgages fiasco, and anybody could've seen that coming.
