Is the choice of name for this "Operation" gallows humour ? The Yellowhammer is a Red List bird in severe decline in the UK.

Funny how Diabetes UK disagrees with you. I think I know who I would trust with information on this.

Yes it is. 2 world wars and 1 world cup innit. Everyone knows that. We're fair and polite, but when it comes down to it we are not afraid to put Johnny Foreigner back in his box when he's getting a bit rowdy.
I wonder what the odds are on us invading France post-Brexit, as a sort-of morale-boosting easy win, and a reminder to everyone else that this is our world. As long as the rest behave themselves they will be fine, but step out of line and we'll sort them out in no time.

It's not that bad in the grand scheme of things, I thought we'd all have starved death inside of a fortnitght.
I am now looking forward to the leaking of operation red purse, to see how rich we will all become in the best case scenario.

If we got a taxi, the stamp would have a car in the border. Imagine the fun you'll get from having a stamp with a plane; boat; train or car in it every time you go to France? Impossible to put a price on something like that. I cannot wait.
Don't forget the customs declaration detailing purchases made in EU countries. With an English translation of any receipts in cyrylic script. We can compare prices paid for trinkets/essential medecines/fresh fruit whilst queueing for the non EU passport control. Delete fresh fruit. That would be smuggling.
But what joy comparing passport stamps. The Italians will have long thin ones with tiny writing like their old car number plates, Germans a full page in Gothic script with lots of numbers/multiple stamps, UK...just a short begging note-type stamp for exiting foreigners along the lines of "hurry back soon, we need you in the NHS but don't tell Nigel"

Are you suggesting stockpiling insulin?
I thought stockpiling food and medication was just Project Fear?
Interesting one, you are 🤔

Corbyn refused to support remain at the time of the referendum, and something has happened to him since then. He's not the same fella, maybe he's been nobbled? Regarding a trade deal with the EU of course we will get one, it's in the EU's interest to have one, but at the moment it's a psychological tool being used against us to try and make us stay. The EU will never recover after we leave and they know it. The economics of Germany and China cannot survive the process of de-globalization.

But no-one has been able to produce a credible, economically sound and tight plan for us when we leave. No-one has been able to make a case of Britain making a recovery after we leave, not even Prof Minford.

Exactly. We survived because the other side were led by a poor tactician. This time, not so much.

Correct Big Apple. This time the opposition are running rings around us: another good reason for us to stay interlocked with them. As the saying goes ....."if you can't beat them, join them".

Corbyn is no fan of the EU, how can any real socialist support the EU's market Liberalism and it's consequences?

Rubbish. Corbyn supported Remain all through the Referendum campaign - and held more meetings, rallies etc than most of the people who since have accused him of the opposite - including the Lib Dem leader and most of his hostile MPs. He didn't get much press or media coverage for it though - the BBC and print press usually used Tory Remainers in their 'reports'.
Whatever he did or didn't do in that camapign would have made very little difference given the lies, exaggerations, and stunts that dominated the coverage.
Of course he is also a sceptic about the EU - wants reforms - and the roots of that go back to the 1970s and the EEC 'bosses club' referendum. But he has accepted the 'on balance' view of the vast majority of Labour members and trades unions that the EU is a force for progress and good - based mainly on the more recent evolution of laws and standards to protect citizens, workers rights and the environment.

It would be sadly ironic of all those oldies who voted to leave, and we do, then struggle to get their much needed meds and meet their maker so to speak.....I wonder which way they would vote now knowing how useless all the politicians we have in uk and Europe.

The movement of tangible goods in the real world? Through recognised channels? But with no plan? As bad as a theoretical computer bug that governments and big business actually spent a lot of time and money preparing for? Hmmmmmm?
