I'm not sure that these fire metaphors are the best choice, given ongoing events.

Apologies, Britain. I didn't mean to be so insensitive about such a hot topic.

Changed the analogy due to PC going mad.

I have done it. With a single sentence, I have struck true the heart of free speech where all others failed, shattered forever by the might of my concern trolling fist.

The circle closes at last.

We don't have a plan, and that's a Great ThingTM!
You just described the entire US government for the last seven months.

Come on, Trump got tons of plan. Like his plan to give everyone health insurance for cheaper. Or his plan to defeat ISIS in 30 days. You just don't understand them, that's all.

Which sounds like Leavers' plan to "Restore British sovereignty without wrecking it".

Maybe they could partition Britain into "European Britain" and "Independent Britain" and let people self-sort. IndyBrit would be like the fovela around the edge of EuroBrit.

They DO both have wispy hair...

Have they ever been in the same room together?

No idea if they've personally met each other. Pretty sure Trump is aware of the similarities of their hair.

By the way, given May's confidence that she'll get a trade deal from the US, I just want to point out that "no deal is better than a bad deal" needs to apply there, too.

(Trump is almost certainly going to press for a MAGA-strength deal, which pretty much guarantees that if anybody gets stiffed by it, it won't (as far as he is concerned) be the US.  So...  Good luck.)

I stumbled into this today and I was immediately reminded of LW's scoffing at the LibDem wanting to stay in the Single Market. (It's a compilation of clips from Leave politicians, including Da Nigel, saying voting leave doesn't necessarily means leaving the single market).
But that's not including are based Nige m8, notice how they splice him in between the lolbertarians faction but don't actually put any of his opinions on the single market. y u spin are chinless nige, why create the mythology of smily brexit metal merchant actually being pro-EU, it's still aggravating that after all this time Remain are still trying to argue that everyone who voted to leave the EU secretly want to stay in the EU :/

Also as a clarification, I'm not scoffing at the LibDems wanting to stay in the single market, that's their political raison d'etre and no one can fault them for it. What is hilarious is poor Cleggers dropping his spaghetti when getting roasted for saying Leave = Leave single market, then saying Leave =/= Leave single market

Ah, Boris.

He might or might not love it, but he sure was saying that stuff like the Norway option is possible if Leave wins, aka, stay in the Single Market.
