I suspect that we are getting a good chunk of the contract which is a positive. I also wouldn’t be surprised if the trade deal was involved here

That’s the real issue for the French - they can accept getting elbowed aside for the US, however the fact that they have also be elbowed aside for a country they regard as their peer (as well as being the UK) really cuts them to the bone.

Hence all the snidey rhetoric that has been coming out of Paris

Apparently the French weren’t able to withdraw their ambassador to the U.K. because of common EU policy, not because the U.K. is a 3rd wheel :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I see it more as we have the know how and we’re selling it to Australia, we sure ain’t giving it to them for nothing.

I do wonder about the wisdom of this pact. Could Australia become the island version of Poland? e.g. Big power is pledged to protect it but has no real means of doing shit if anything goes down.

WTAF does this mean and can someone explain how it’s actually going to sort all of the shortages caused by numb-nuts panic buying petrol.

A lol from today. The petrol station in Oxshott ran out of fuel yesterday I believe. Very amusing to see Chelsea Tractors and high performance cars driving in and out of the forecourt again & again & again.

Yours sincerely- smug bloke who happened to fill up last weekend- as normal and has over 310 mls in the tank :wink:

Anyone need loo roll? - have loads left from last panic buy :joy:

The hint was in Boris giving visas to poultry workers

Yeah, but who is gonna come over? Seems places like Poland and others in the EU have stolen a march on the UK already.

Why would EU citizens want to come back to the UK after Brexit & associated xenophobia anyway?

Maybe just utilize the channel migrants?

They won’t.
Simple.
He offered 3 month visas.
How easy is it to rent a place in UK economically for 3 months? Register for PAYE? Get a SIM card or bank account?
I made this point earlier.

Equally, my boss has an HGV Licence, I suggested going for a couple of months. His answer?
Fvck that they drive on the wrong side of the road.

The fuckwits are at it again

Chuck all 53 in jail for month for contempt of court - at the very least these bell ends will be out of the way for a period of time

I agree that these people are highly annoying and irresponsible. The trouble being that the prisons are already overcrowded.

Think he might have taken the coaching about developing a “killer instinct” a little too far…

It gets even funnier:

Loved this comment from a German resident in the UK:

“ We were quite surprised,” he said. “I’m sure pay and conditions for HGV drivers have improved, but ultimately I have decided to carry on in my role at an investment bank. My wife has never driven anything larger than a Volvo, so she is also intending to decline the exciting opportunity.

It is nice to know there are specialist jobs available here for us though after Brexit. We would never have been headhunted to drive a lorry if we’d gone back to Germany”

Who said Germans don’t have a sense of humour?

:joy:
