Stupid idiot The Queen does not. How dare he impute that of the Queen. Tw*t. She had no option given the precedent. Correct. I don't believe that comment comes from JRM. The Queen is politically neutral and follows precedent. Her decision does not endorse Brexit but is based on advice from her PM. JRM knows that and whenever I hear him interviewed he always chooses his words carefully. If he did tweet those words then he should be in big trouble and at the minimum should make a public apology for dragging the monarchy into party politics. Like I say I don't believe he's done that. Update: Just looked at that tweet again. Its a site set up by JRM supporters and "independent" of him. So he didn't say it whoever did though is just plain wrong.

But people have an annoying habit of 'forgetting' the damage and pain, it's all jolly exciting, hoorah chaps. As you know my grandfather was blown up, returned to hospital in England, got patched up, went back to France, got blown up again. I learned at his (artificial) knee that it was a failure of monumental proportions to get to that point. My father survived Tobruk and Monte Casino and then became best friends with a German soldier. Too many people on both sides sat on their hands as this brewed up, they didn't really care as war is really all glory and heroics. Sigh.....you finished making those Molotov cocktails up yet?

Of course I know....Germany is a relatively new country by European standards. Those states weren't forced creations like East Germany. Edited by Stirlingsays (28 Aug 2019 4.21pm) I didn't say they were. I said if each of the 16 States is independent like Scotland then the same logic would apply. Presumably in your mind they are going to go independent one day. Alternatively there is no inherent reason why Scotland (and Wales and Northern Ireland) could not have significant amounts of self-governing without jeopardising the UK. It's just they get annoyed when daft things are done for which they have to carry the can.

So my money is on a rehashed deal which can be made to look different from May's. Cummings may now have the whip hand, for both the EU and Parliament the choice appears to be agree a new deal, hurriedly re-drawn, or there will be a crash out. I see no chance at all that Johnson wants a no-deal, which is why Farage is trying to force him into that channel. In reality it is what he always promised he would do.
