EU referendum are you in or out

Don't panic DO NOT PACNIC !

If the news are correct, basically France is asking for whoever comes from UK into France to test NEGATIVE ( especially for the new variant ) to Coronavirus.

This means "they have to set tests at the borders" which it would appear UK "is not ready for".

If it's true what they say "unless they unlock something TODAY" - that to me is impossible gets done - there will be shortages of fresh produce for Xmas.

Estimates says there are around 1500 lorries waiting .. but these count only lorries "in regular parking lots" without counting all those that are in "irregular parking" ( which are a lot too ).

So it also seems that "that plan for lorries for a brexit no deal" .. is not working .. you figure ...

[edit] - Did you hear in the news that Boris now said that in the event of No-Deal WTO rules for UK ARE PERFECTLY FINE !

.. if he says so "must be true" no ?

[tufty]

Remember Giles. No deal is better than a bad deal.

That actually is true I suppose, can't argue with that.

[tufty]

No it's not. It's not true at all.

[(o)(o)]

No it's not. It's not true at all.

It would be true if the terms of the deal were worse than WTO deal terms..

But that's most unlikely.

edit: Hard to get shittier than No Deal / WTO.

Tesco has already started rationing rice, eggs and toilet paper it seems ...

Tesco has already started rationing rice, eggs and toilet paper it seems ...

Only because the Idiot brigade dont understand the only shortages for a while will be perishable goods and equate everything with must buy Toilet Roll

[KlaxonCow]

And the thing is, toilet roll is a light and bulky item, that only makes pennies profit per pack.

It's just not economic to import toilet roll.

So pretty much all of it is manufactured natively, and even if all imports were stopped for months on end, it's one of the last things any country will run out of.

The only reason the shelves empty out is because of stupid panic buying, gobbling it all up faster than the factories can manufacture it and the supermarkets can stock it on shelves... and, of course, faster than anyone could actually be wiping their arses with it all.

Yes, even those people who like to wrap the toilet roll around their hand multiple times and waste tons of it. You know who you are.

You mean THIS is the FAMOUS ITEM that "UK" imports in ENORMOUS QUANTITIES at 10X its normal market price ??!!! (*)




/me takes coat ...


(*) from some far overseas company friends of Boris ....


/me takes coat again ... or not ? ...

Of course in a "survival situation" normal operatives don't apply - markets are distorted by irrational purchasing decisions and we can't blame humans for being human.

For such circumstances - BEHOLD - the portable bidet :





I thoroughly recommend this life-changing device - particularly if you experience changes that one may experience at a certain age in life - it will dramatically cut down on your toilet roll usage and leave you feeling sooo fresh and fine! Honestly a roll lasts probably 4x as long this way if not more. It's cheaper, cleaner, and better for the environment.

Don't smear shit all over yourself, wash it off!!

PS no the water doesn't go everywhere once you get the hang of it. DO use water at body temperature.

Boris also said there were “only 170 lorries” in the queue, when the actual figure at that point was over 500 and earlier today reached more than a thousand.

Drivers already at Dover were then told to turn round and drive miles back to the Brexit lorry park to get a COVID test. Rather than setting up a testing station at the port. Shambles.

I don't know why anyone is surprised - Boris and co have wanted a no deal Brexit from the beginning, the "negotiations" are just fluff to keep pro deal MPs happy.

Lack of a collapse would be nice. Things are going to get messy though.

[Harlequin]

For such circumstances - BEHOLD - the portable bidet :

I now follow this doctor's advice and dip paper in a mug of water I keep next to the toilet.

That could be true but the world has kept changing in meantime. The probability of even beginning any trade talks with the U.S. in the next few years now seems to be scuppered, for example.

Ah, it's all just wishy-washy liberal concepts of "purity".

See 7:10 in this video, regarding how the conservative morality of "purity / sanctity" revolves around sex, but the liberal leftists are really no different in their "purity / sanctity" concepts around "organic" food, cleanliness / hygiene, veganism, etc.:



The whole video is worth a watch, asking what's innate in human morality and how that relates to someone being left or right politically, as there are very clear trends in the data that make it clear that conservatives tend to value things like loyalty to authority and such as higher "noble" morals to hold.

That they're not evil nor alien, but are just holding certain human morals - which we all possess, to some degree, innately - as higher priorities than those you might hold highest.

Anyway, being worried about how you wipe your arse is such a "wet liberal" thing to be concerned about. In a world where we stupidly waste water treatment - stuff that's technically good enough to drink, as it comes out of the pipe - on our flush water, for pity's sake.
