I missed this thread. With have now the Blond Scrotum and the Orange Scrotum. One is lord and master of the other. Johnson is asking Trump how high he has to jump and jump he will. The UK is being aligned to the USA as fast as it can. Johnson could not care about any deal with the EU. He hates the EU as much as Trump does. He wants the UK to be locked into the USA so it can never return to the EU and its tax collectors.
The inevitable trade deal that will emerge between the USA and UK will be a totally one sided one with the UK having to accept everything the USA demands of it. Goodbye to the NHS and high food standards and welcome chlorinated chicken, hormone riddled beef and GM crops.
There are of course a few stumbling blocks to the Blond Scrotum's dream; one is time and the other the UK parliament. A trade deal how one sided is not written tomorrow although even now many pages will have all been written and it must have approval of the UK parliament. The latter being a major headache as with having a working majority of two will demand a GE very shortly the outcome of which is in doubt. If Labour dumped Corbyn then it is an open field. Also in the equation is the reaction of the EU. Any future re-entry of the UK will of course will be treated with total disdain and the UK could find itself in the queue behind Turkey and face extreme demands of entry.

There is a by-election today so the Blond Turd's majority could only be one. The DUP are looking pretty stupid.

There’s going to be a bit of an unemployment issue if they cease being employees of her Majesty. Another complication is some of the regiments are only Scottish in name and a third is that many of their members are actually English these day. You don’t have to be Scottish to join.

The sort of unentangling we are going to have to undergo with the EU. Nationalism in all its forms stinks.

Well, given what I'd give for a good fuck, I'd give much more to get a cluster of them.
Be careful what you wish for. You might get a bunch of Aussie bogans giving you that cluster. Good for them, that is.

Not such a bad outcome, though. A statistician would note that nine out of ten participants really enjoyed teh butseks.
If one laid 10 statisticians end-to-end, nobody would be surprised.

When talking about the military and the Union we shouldn't forget that Scotland houses the UK's nuclear arsenal of two submarines.

The Irish question is far more pressing and prescient that the Scottish question.
