I watched May's farcical trip to Strasbourg unfold on rolling news last night.
Some might want to comment about the sheer ludicriusness of the pantomime script she seemingly thinks she must follow.
For the sake of decency, I could not possibly comment.
Thanks for reading this post.

Why ludicrous? She is playing to the domestic gallery and all those fools who have been saying for years that everything with the EU is last minute.
Last night we heard the same old justification for Brexit of taking back control of laws, borders and stoping sending ‘vast sums’ of money to the EU.
we have control of our laws-constitution, criminal, family, most tax, local govt. health, education. The European court only has jurisdiction over EU law. When made by qualified majority voting we voted with the majority in 97% of the votes. The laws protect our traders as well-in fact many of our big traders are multinational in a multinational market. An international court seems common sense. Most EU laws are to do with trade, environment and employment rights and these regulations are used by hundreds of millions of people in four continents and we have a big say-do you want to give all that up?
EU immigration has fallen and we have lots of vacancies-other immigration has not. It gives our people rights to live and work in Europe.
As for money-even with a no tariff free trade deal, the extra costs would equal-so the HMRC say-the net contribution which is half of one percent of our GDP. Leaving the single market means we will lose the sale of many services. So what are the benefits?
Most of Parliament must know this so why are we pushing ahead?
Head -wall-bang.
Bang on the button with the pantomime script Richard, but she does’nt know which one.
I thought that Keir Starmer’s take down of the latest episode was hilarious this morning. He played it straight, but the tone of incredulity in his voice was just right for the jaw-dropping ineptitude unfolding, as ever, before us. More incompetent than the Keystone Kops!!
But I liked “Jack And The Beanstalk”.
This is probably an extremely stupid comment.
I wonder if she’d have had a better chance negotiating it as a trial separation with a return to current position if the backstop looked like it was going to be eternal. Including our current veto powers and own currency. I think that would get a lot of remainers on side and might have a better chance of passing. Very unpalatable for all sides however.
Probably a very naive idea, so apologies to those much smarter than myself.
‘I could not possibly comment’.
Nor can I.
She’s flogging a dead horse.
I despair. We are now so far beyond farce I’ve lost track.
Tomorrow I start stocking my larder.
When the panic buying starts I won’t be there.
I’ll just wait for the guy with the Manitou to take the doors out of of one of the supermarkets if I need to top-up.
