Good thread on the incoming Brexit Utopia and the end of red tape…

I must say I’ve enjoyed seeing residents of Kent (voted overwhelmingly for Brexit) complaining about the 25 acre perpetual lorry park that’s now being created there to handle some of the customs backlog.

Whoever first thought of calling it the Farage Garage is a genius.

I met Big Jack once. For my sins I’m a Newcastle United supporter, and during his spell as Newcastle manager I used to know one of the players, and used to get complimentary tickets which included entry to the players lounge for after the game.
I think it was Luton away and me and my pal were at the bar and Jack strolled in, stood next to us and said were you the 2 noisy bastards sitting behind me n the stand. He spent the next forty minutes chatting about the match and football in general. Absolute top bloke

Think I know three or four people over the past 30 years who met Jack randomly somewhere in Ireland and ended up chatting to him for ages about football.
Hard to overstate how popular he was here and how much his team lifted national morale during otherwise fairly dark times.
Thoughts and prayers for being a NUFC fan.

A life long tapestry of pain and despair

I’m raging at this. I work for a PPE supplier and the market has been predictably flooded with chancers and dodgy bastards since early January. Obviously all the prices have been forced up and containers full of life saving equipment are left to rot while these lazy, vacuous pigs stuff their noses in the trough that Cummings and Gove have laid out for them.
