I think it is a bit sad. I can’t think of anything I really hate. Cruelty maybe.
Boiled Brussels sprouts.
Heretic, you don't boil brussels sprouts, you sauté them in salted butter.

I roast them, with garlic, lemon zest, olive oil, and a dash of Tabasco.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I par-boil them and finish the off with olive oil and garlic. Brussel sprouts have changed our present breed is far too sweet and not peppery at all. They have done the same with chicory which used to take two years to grow now it is done in weeks without soil. Now it is tasteless.

Tory whip Gareth Johnson resigns. He doesn't like the cut of Mrs May's Brexit Jib, but I think the wind is blowing towards a Norway-type solution and one more man overboard won't make much difference.

No deal Brexit Brian. Norway does not want the UK whale in its puddle.

The Norway-type arrangement is basically like being in the old EEC, so it wouldn't effect Norway's trade arrangements with the EU, or the UK for that matter.

EFTA is a club just like the EU. You have to join and that is only possible if the members want you in. The EU has enough of these "arrangements" that were made years ago. Making another puddle is not what the EU wants. Just look at the reaction to a two speed EU. They want is unite.

Your hatred of your home country warps your judgement. The EU will take any deal that makes trade with an economy the size of the UK that little bit smoother.

What a delusional thought. The result of a severe case of PES; "they need us more than we need them". That went up in smoke years ago now. That is what May is hoping; any deal. :smug:

No, I’m pretty objective because I see both sides. We need Europe more than it needs us for sure, but they would much prefer to have things running smoothly for the sake of all our economies.

You on the other hand want so much for the UK to suffer because you feel so poisonous about the country you deserted that you see every scenario as apocalyptic for us. It isn’t pretty.

I dont want anyone to suffer but if you (Brexiteers) are arrogant and remain so up to the last minute you can expect everything you deserve and it is not over today either. Only with the present situation can it run smoothly anything else will never run smoothly and why should we bother? The Brexiteers will never accept it and expect Trumpian lies about the future. Their money is safe and that is all they worry. There are Brexiteers betting on the complete collapse of the Pound that is their loyalty.
Will a Brexiteer ever say he is sorry?
