Bolton is among a growing number of Brexiters keen to tell us they were never on the Eastern front. Nick Timothy is another and of course Bozo himself.

That was the perfect example of another analogy I read recently; Brexit was the equivalent of a late night pub argument between University of Life locals and argumentative students. The dead 'ard locals won the argument by threatening the poncey intellectuals into fleeing and spent the rest of the night laughing at how they chased them fukkin wankas away. Then a couple of days later, when they'd all sobered up, a couple of the more reasonable locals realised that threatening a few kids wasn't all that clever and maybe they did have a point after all. At which time the last thing the students should have done was walk back in with their sense of morality burnished and their mouths in overdrive.

You hold onto that thought, mate.

I’ll drink to that.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Sadly he's already moved on to comparing Sunak with Neville Chamberlain.

A couple of MPs seem to be stirring v any deal too. I thought they'd been rather quiet because they belatedly understood that the public were fed up with how long the oven ready deal had taken.

One of the biggest loons here, unaware that the snowy bit of Spain may not be the bit that grows tomatoes. And something about "Northern Europe" that he's made up.

Ferrari would love to be talking about Brexit every day.

Lost Doctor Who series uncovered. Sean Pertwee said dad would have been thrilled.

A five minute Google would have advised Sarah not to bet the house on Brexit. Sarah is a fucking idiot.

It's probably wrong of me, but I do derive great pleasure from telling these cretins now suffering the consequences of their own actions "We told you so".

Project Fear? Or a reasonable list of likely outcomes compiled by people who aren't complete idiots? You decide.

Person who "did her own research" grumbles that "nobody told me"...

Former South West Green MEP Molly Scott-Cato was barracked by Cornish farmers for not telling them all about the Brexit bad stuff and was partly to blame.

You needed to move a bit more furniture around to have predicted loss of economic confidence, interest rate rises and Tory implosion but not much. That was just a question of whether economics mattered anymore and people now just voted for ‘cultural issues.’ That view is looking like gargantuan bollocks.

The same people who wanted out of the EU because it was a hidebound, rule obsessed bureaucracy also apparently thought the same EU would just quietly stop enforcing its own rules with no reciprocation or even discussion as they applied to "ex pats".

This isn't cognitive dissonance, it's thinking in tritones

And was fucking obvious to most of us long in advance...

[I want to visit #2 son in Copenhagen. To do so will mean that I have to sacrifice time in France because of the 90 day rule for third party countries. Which the EU offered to waive, but Frosty said no...]

Here we go again, May and Johnson thought this move would be big and clever It’s as if they still don’t understand how the EU works despite a clue in the word ‘union.’

That really stupid Alex woman from the Brexit Party is a Talk TV host and still has no idea what’s going on. No idea how this Femi guy keeps his composure trying to play chess with pigeons every week.

One of the better Brexiters here, apparently arguing for increasing taxes to French levels and joining the Euro.

Millionaires prefer St Tropez to Eastbourne isn’t really a story but this is the sort of thing that irks Singapore on Thames Brexiters. Doubt Sunak would be living here if he wasn’t PM.
