never occurred to me...but now I mourn this thing that can never be...

“the EU will negotiate once they see that a no deal-brexit is a real possibility.”

you & I have very different ideas about what constitutes fun...

a paradox so powerful that if it could be harnessed we’d have unlimited power simply by having the two opposing points of view crank some turbines as they orbit one another in perpetual motion...

I think they’re at least frenemies...& very much birds of a feather...essentially they’re the exact same kind of amoral self-regarding scumbag but bojo doesn’t give a fuck about Brexit or Europe except to the extent that it effects his (& to some extent his party’s) short term electoral benefit...
