The clusterfuck continues

Last night, Andrea Loathesome was on TV and suggested that the old two letter trick is going to work for Johnson when he has to request an extension, as in send to letters, one the request and another saying ignore previous letter.

This is legally illiterate, but we should expect nothing better from someone so useless as her.

It would be against the law for the PM not to send a letter requesting an extension. And would also be against the law to send the second letter, as this frustrates the will of Parliament.

Not only would the EU ignore the second letter, because they have the internet and radio and TV too, so will know this is against the law. But it would also open up the PM and any other minister and/or advisors who knew about this to be charged with misconduct in a public office.

Now I am more than happy to see as many of these fuckers in handcuffs as possible, but at heart they are all cowards and are just talking tough.

What is really poor is that I, as a private citizen, has understood the various court rulings and could have nailed Andrea's arse to the table, but Peston, who I once respected, did not. This is basic journalism, how can we be so let down?

If journalists in the print and TV and digital media not do their work to hold the executive and Government to account, what are they for?

Sky News, Channel 4 and the Guardian have been great and unswerving, asking the right questions and digging for details and unlawful acts. But the BBC seems now to just be a Government mouthpiece. I stopped listening and reading years ago.

Now the Government look as though it is going to use credit agencies to check on expats coming back home for treatment to weed out those who have not paid enough NI contributions. This is where Brexit is taking us, who saw that written on the side of a bus?
