YAWN YAWN YAWN
As I said, a small price to pay to rid ourselves of the corrupt gravy train.
Anyhoo,.people to see places to go,.and I’m getting slightly bored tbh.
Until next time when I turn up with a pointy stick to poke you, and to laugh at your continual petulance…oh ■■■■! there I go again, with the obligatory. 
What am I like eh?
I shall return,. 
Farewell oh petulant ones …(Oh dammit. 
)
Btw 14 years if you’re really interested.(since last over the water trucking)

So, a CMR…possibly quickly handwritten by yourself, and costing less than quid, and away you go…Ah, the good ole days!

Care to address the Brexit issues?Why, I don’t have any, its happened and I’ve got on with life.
‘‘Got on’’ Moved on’’ .‘‘reacting and adapting’’ ?
You may as well be speaking Swahili they don’t understand those concepts.Btw Newcastle lost the FA Cup Final in 1999,. I still.ain’t happy about the result…do you think I should campaign for a replay?
Oh hang on different circumstances,.I ain’t whinged about it for all these years.
In fairness there was no campaigning for a reply in that final. My dad is a Geordie and I remember watching it with him and watching Man Utd take Newcastle apart - Newcastle were lucky they only got nil that day! 
That was the treble year for them too wasn’t it. It was also the year that they beat my beloved Nottingham Forest 8-1 at the City Ground when we were hopelessly relegated and the last season we were in the PL before this season. Was also the infamous game in January 1999 when Ron Atkinson took charge at Forest and went and sat in the “away” dug out at the start!
Apologies to Franglais as this isn’t Brexit related and “on topic”
This story originated in The FT, but here is a link to it without a paywall.
Every year there are problems at the cross channel ports,
especially at Dover, due to…
> Excessive amounts of tourists tavelling to Europe !!!
Go to Portsmouth, Newhaven, Poole, …
still lots of tourists , especially on the Portsmouth line
Don’t see "Operation Pompey " on the A3/M3 in operation
Hyper CRAP from the journos and media , blaming it on the French not being at their stations to check passports etc.
Go to the Shuttle terminal at Folkestone,
when was the last time you saw a Franch official at the passport control
before going through to the security checks ?
I’m not saying that the delays and queues are not happening,
but blaming that the fact that the French didn’t turn up to work this morning ■■?
B O L L O X
Couldn’t happen in a nicer county ,
I hope the roads all over Kent are blocked and no one moves for a week .
They really reep what they sow , don’t want trucks any where near there garden of England just a fast track motorway through it .
Get the facilities right and the road structure correct , the have buried there head in the sand for the last 20 years , poor if no facilities .
Luckily not in that part of the country too often but if I am make sure I have plenty of hours in the tank to get back out .
The department for transport claimed there was no link to EU withdrawal, but the project known as Operation Brock was originally named: ‘Brexit Operations Across Kent’
Next up?
The EES biometric passports, due in Sept this year.

Yay Frangers is back! Hello mate, we missed you!
Thank you.
I`ve been carrying an injury lately. My Google finger has been suffering RSI.
What with that and an over active wrist I have been side-lined for a while.
Carryfast:
It also advocates a system of government based on the collective.
A Gov system where the majority agree on actions? Wow! Thatd be novel wouldnt it?
As opposed to here where we have had a totally un-elected Cabinet Minister in charge of Brexit? A Prime Minister ignoring security advice to raise the son of a KGB spy (and Putin ally) to the Lords? Minister lying about Parliamentary oversight of trade deals etc?
Be a breath of fresh air after the toxic atmosphere whereby “Party Members” get the best deals as suppliers (and receipt of our tax money)
The scope of this current administration`s venality and corruption is truly appalling.

Thought maybe you were ill with the after effects of oxygen starvation, with all that constant mask and face visor wearing. 
Btw…where the hell were you yesterday ■■?..I’ve just got back home after waiting for you in that bloody pub all day yesterday. .
For all you blue and yellow fans, no not Ukraine.
Take a look at this, its by an american so no axe to grind. The reply to the question that Legarde gives is priceless !!
Thank God we’re not on the hook for this.

He is American, but he is selling his own “brand”, so suggesting he has “no axe to grind” is mistaken.
First few minutes he shows the “EU inflation rate” as 8.6% and says how awful that is.
The USA currently has 9.1% inflation.
The UK currently has 9.6% inflation…
Christine Lagarde`s reply to the question as posed?
If the EU has the high inflation suggested, and the low interest rates suggested, EU debt is shrinking every single day!
And I`ll take up her suggestion of the counter-factual alternative:
Q: where would the EU be without the debt bubble caused by Covid19?
A: A lot worse off.
The EU has a large debt because of C19, so has the UK, so has the USA.
What master plan do these economies have that Lagarde is missing out on?
Next he talks of the EU debt to GDP ratio.
Currently (post C19) some countries have a very high ratio. Above the EU target of 60% max.
The USA was running GDP/debt ratios in the mid 90% before C19 !
The UK had 85% in 2015.
Again he is cherry-picking a few figures to support his contention, whilst ignoring other examples that don`t support the point he is trying to make.
So, at the halfway point…I can`t be arsed to continue watching: conclusions are based on false or partial premises.
If he does a big reveal later and says "Only kidding! Ive been talking ■■■■■■■■" Ill try again. Failing that, I`m out.

WHAAAAAT? That’s disgraceful, who would do such a thing?

Classic “cherry picking”.
What about the countries performing above average?
Picking odd wee aspects of a big complex picture is a waste of time.

Someone selling you his investment advice for a start?
Or even someone passing his advice on, well, anything really? “I’m the only one who’s correct, every opinion contrary to mine is wrong”.
That type of person?
