The cynic in me suspects that Boris doesn't have a clue what he is doing and will try to gosh-crumbs-isn't-this-jolly a way through.

At the risk of stating the obvious, he isn't Margaret Thatcher.

He couldn't negotiate money off a sofa at DFS in January.


His natural habitat is making a tit of himself in print or on TV, and is so stupid he doesn't realise he is the joke. As our not really elected representative, that expands to all of us.

Three years of time for negotiation and it comes down to

“ Power of sweet reason”

“ Hope springs eternal”

The man is either a genius or a buffoon. ( I am being “very cordial” when I say that)

I think we have to remember that Boris would like no deal. The venom he threw at the EU while he was campaigning to exit knew no bounds. I even think he wouldn't care if he lost his job as prime minister, his one aim will have been fulfilled. I think.

I do hope something happens tonight, one way or the other.

Whatever is decided, it should annoy the French. Annoying ze Germans would be a bonus.

Just an idle thought.

In the event of “ no trade deal”  will there be panic buying next day on a biblical scale as the media have painted lorry parks, stuff rotting etc etc  while red tape is untied?

One good thing is Tesco have said they have been stock piling non perishables.

[Doctor Gollum]

Only if mainstream media insist on suggesting it to be the case.

I'm collecting old newspapers just in case.

My chest freezer is reasonably stocked but, in the long run, I'll eat owt.

I'm in Kent, where many of the lorry parks are.


I've got a car and a cordless angle grinder

 Sorry Nick, Kent is the most anti-lorry council in England,  you have the M20, which is used to stack trucks awaiting to board,  it's normally because the French go on strike, or a train breaks down...

 Manston Airfield was mooted as a clearance hub, stacking area, then council and NIMBYs said No.   

 Basically council are wanting Gov to sort the issues with all the freight that enters UKplc, but just want to shift the issue somewhere else,,, I think they forget, that the two largest carriers for freight are in their Garden..

But there are already lorries parked all over the county at night. I could go to M2 J3(about 2 miles from here) and find several on the various roads off the roundabouts.


Medway and Maidstone Service's lorryparks are always full by late evening.


Most of the industrial estates reverberate at night to the sound of parked trucks and their fridges.

I wonder what Ursula served up for dinner tonight? 

Fish perhaps? 

[Varche]

Dinner is over.

No agreement.
