“What do we want?”

“Strong borders and racism!”

“Where do we want it?”

“Not on our only land border! Bloody Micks!’”

At least we’re making the Germans laugh.

Shh they’re just not interrupting their enemy, it’s all part of a 4D masterplan.

Says a lot about voters in this country too. Seems around 40% intend to vote Tory no matter what. I don't see those voters jumping over to Labour if Corbyn suddenly started being more EU friendly or if someone else took over without leaning more towards Tory policies, and even then will the majority of the boomer generation ever trust Labour with the economy or immigration again? The Tory party is still viewed as the best bet for delivering Brexit too, which most of them voted for. The Lib Dems don't appear to be getting anywhere either.

They would probably trust labour if there was not a hard left Moron running the party.

There’s a 25%-30% Tory hardcore. But there’s a 10% there that can be won over if Labour start appealing to more people.

It’s all well and good wanting a more left wing Labour, but it just means getting stuck in opposition for a generation.

Corbyn is the issue here.

From last night’s Saturday Night Live on NBC:



Just gloss over some of the Americanisms (“vacation”) when you watch it.

I didn't think it was very funny. It was a very shallow look at what's happening over here but then I guess they needed to only use references Yanks would get.

[Lagamorph]

Americans go mad for SNL but I've never found it particularly good.
I think it's just a different style of humour to what the UK is probably used to.

I like the Trump cold opens but the rest kinda leaves me cold.

No-deal Brexit travel warning: don’t go on holiday after March 29

Families will be advised not to book holidays after next March, according to contingency plans being drawn up to prepare for a no-deal Brexit.

The proposed guidance, which will shock the travel industry, was expected to be discussed at last week’s cancelled cabinet meeting, after civil servants were told to ramp up emergency planning.

Senior officials have explored the idea with at least one cabinet minister and discussed the impact that the advice could have on specific tour operators amid fears it might bankrupt them. A leak inquiry was under way in No 10 last night to establish how the proposal became public.

[Squinty]

I had a Brexit related dream last night. May went nuclear and told the EU it was no deal. I can't remember what happened after.

[more heat than light]

No-one went on holiday?

They just showed some of this on the BBC, it's not funny in the slightest

If you have to say who you are for the joke to work, you impersonation is crap.

[Squinty]

It is a really crap impression of May and Cameron. Not sure where they got the hairline visual gag as well. Awful.

But it shows that we are a joke on world stage because of this.

[Victor Mildew]

To be fair, Americans think the only British humour is Monty python and Benny hill (seriously) so I can see why they think this is funny.

The second thing is the amateurism. Britain was thought to have a Rolls-Royce government. This reputation was so solid that the EU’s Brexit negotiators initially wondered if the incompetence of their British counterparts was a clever ruse to lull foreigners into a false sense of security. No longer: it turns out that the Rolls-Royce is more of a Morris Minor. European politicians puzzle over how a fellow member of their tribe could begin the Brexit talks without a plan, or appoint an addlepated popinjay such as David Davis to act as chief negotiator.

American’s aren’t the only ones who find us hilarious.
