But we still have two rotten and corrupt political parties dominating our system, both in thrall to corporate interests and third-parties who do not care a jot for the UK populace. Nobody wins whilst that is still in place. Once Brexit is done the next challenges in no particular order are: - Abolish The House Of lords Plenty to get on with.

The thing is, it would have to start virtually from scratch because as soon as it got vaguely successful there would be an attempt to scurry across by the same idiots from existing parties that we are trying to get rid of and the cycle would continue.

Personally, I think I will help myself to a large slice of defunding the BBC with a side order of more transparency in appointing judges and their performance. In terms of desert going a little off-menu and am undecided about whether to choose a cheeky little bowl of English Independence or stick with the familiar steamed pudding of defending the Union. With the contrarian in me even thinking of pushing for a veritable smorgasbord of a non-EU centred campaign for full-on European Federalism, embracing our Slavic Russian cousins, to include a single language, legal system and last of all, given how these things are meant to evolve, a joint currency. However, I still have a lot to digest and suspect that I might still have to suffer a little Brexit induced indigestion as it might take a while to keep down the current dish of the day and stop the retching, at least in public.

Nobody wins whilst that is still in place. A balanced take. I'm perhaps being pre-emptively overly negative given that we don't even know the ins and outs of the deal yet. The government haven't exactly given us much reason to believe they're shrewd operators though, at least not when it relates to our interests.

Nobody wins whilst that is still in place. Fair. Talking of loathing - the constant highlighting of fishing being the be all and end all is infuriating. I get that it’s a political hot potato, probably as it involves discussions around territory and therefore is easy to over simplify as an us and them topic (which the media and simpletons love) - but the actual economic value of it all is almost insignificant. The quota system is a joke and has been easily manipulated, but 0.02% of GDP. Again, 0.02%. I think there are bigger fish to fry, personally. Farage chirping up about it amuses me - especially when you consider That apparently over the three years that he was a member of the European Parliament Fisheries Committee, he attended just one out of 42 meetings. Dedicated.

Personally, I have simpler tastes and ideally will have them grilled on the BBQ or, if not possible, wrapped in foil and baked in the oven before being drizzed with olive oil, seasoned with freshly ground sea-salt and then a cheeky squeeze of fresh lemon. A little taste of heaven!

If they've reached agreement on fishing, what's the catch?
Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

The SC should have thrown the case out and told Parliament it should define the PM's roles and responsibilities. To stop an unelected body hijacking our constitution Parliament should legislate to resolve this issue otherwise it is likely to happen again and yes Boris has been playing fast and loose with Parliament.
