Cretins !
I agree, even HMQ went by train to St Austell.

I was wondering why the likes of Ursula VdL and that other EU President were there fore-square in the centre of things when they don't even represent a sovereign nation.

Not a good analogy. What about the driver who doesn't stick to the road.

You don't take a ferrari cross country or drag racing. You need to know your strengths and limitations as a nation. Luckily plenty of people in the UK understand this.

They might want to have a word with Merkel about her coal fired power stations as well.

Rules are for fools. If I had stuck to "the rules" today I would probably be living in a nice 3 bed semi in a not bad district of a nice town. I'd have a newish car sat outside, a few quid set aside and existing.

But I have NEVER abided by rules or laws, or only those that I could not avoid such as council tax..

As it is --- I'm not.

But commenting on life, the universe, and everything is hardly complaining!
