Spending the Brexit 50p

Today, the Chancellor announced there would be a commemorative coin minted to celebrate Brexit, a 50p piece.

Words fail me at this point.

And for the rest of the day, he pretended that Brexit would not affect the country's finances, unlike yesterday when he said in the event of a no deal there would have to be another Budget. The PM bitch-slapped him in saying that today's budget was costed for all flavours of Brexit.

Not that I believe her of course, but at this point, I am getting past caring and that we maybe should just let it happen and so I can scream at the world, what the fucking fuck did you fucking think would happen you fucking fucks!

It has been suggested that UK should temporarily join the EFTA, or the Norway for Now proposal. Only thing is that membership of that can't be temporary and negotiations could not begin until we left the EU and there would still be the cliff edge and the NI Border backstop would be needed. And anyway, other members might not be too welcoming of a country several times the population of their, combined, coming in and swinging its weight about. I mean, we wouldn't be happy with the wallpaper or anything, just like when we were in the EU.

The possibility of extending A50 yo know about why that is a non goer, however it has been suggested that in the case it were needed, rather than have EU Elections, then UK MPs could sit in both Westminster and Brussels. This sounds sane in the fog of Brexit, but is really just madness on stilts.

So, five months today, time ticking down on having an actual WA to ratify, anywhere. No hurry, really.
