But by personal magnetism, this pile of shite sculpted into the monument from Close Encounters will persuade the EU to refuse to offer an extension?

lol it’s just making the border like three times the width & is a load of shit

It’s a joke proposal to be floated as a “we tried” for when they impose a sea border and throw the DUP under the proverbial
― gyac, Tuesday, 1 October 2019 07:12 (four years ago) link
tbf it's not like the DUP make any difference to his minority at this point
i have a bad feeling about no deal tho. the EU can't unilaterally enforce an extension.

That’s what makes me think he’ll go for the sea border. But yeah, who the fuck knows? EU isn’t going to do that anyway cos all the fash will be like EUROPE IS FORCING US TO STAY WAAAH

As Grievesy said, it's just moving the border ten miles and having a no man's land in between it and the actual border.

have their been any polls about the percentage of people who "just want Brexit to be done" because i can't find any of those but then i can't find a solid majority for anything so i suspect "most people" might be a slight rhetorical innaccuracy

I was wondering what a "buffer zone" 10 miles either side of the border was going to do to that bit of Donegal that's less than 10 miles wide, and, welp, there it is all painted red on that map. Can the UK really make Ireland put up infrastructure on their side though?

Possibly a bit niche when so many other bizarre statements are emanating from the Tory conference, but this is annoying me today - presumably from the mind of Dominic Cummings, Brain Genius and Science Enthusiast (NB not an actual scientist) (nor am I)
.@Conservatives have ‘announced plans to design, develop and build…a commercially viable fusion power plant by 2040.’ For, er, <checks notes> £200 million! Funding for fusion is good news, but this is so ridiculous as to be a simple lie. https://t.co/tvJ1wqWAZY— Andrew Steele (@statto) September 30, 2019
(waves from 8 miles away from the Joint European Torus, the great still-not-quite-realised hope of 80s/90s science and still going, funding & staffing now in question what with Theresa May deciding that Brexit meant Brexit meant pulling out of Euratom for no reason whatsoever, funding also very much in the "a lot more than that number there" category)
― a passing spacecadet, Tuesday, 1 October 2019 11:09 (four years ago) link
harnessing fusion power is probably an easier problem to solve than the irish border tbh

There are no circumstances in which former Labour MPs sitting as independents, such as John Woodcock, Ian Austin or Gavin Shuker, will vote to put a man they regard as unfit to be prime minister in No 10.
great set of lads whose bitterness and personal enmity towards Corbyn is more important than preventing NDB. Bush says it isn't Swinson's fault but on my count she has enough MP's to make a majority so I'll beg to differ. And his recent pathetic fawning over Cameron is putting me off reading him these days tbh

t/s: £350m a week for the nhs vs O N E B I L L I O N lost in trade each week
Despite extensive preparations at Dover, the port’s chief executive said that it still expects to see a drop in trade worth £1bn a week should Britain leave the EU without a deal. Addressing a ConservativeHome/Port of Dover fringe event at the conference, transport minister George Freeman confirmed that the government was assuming that disruption would roughly halve - a range of 40-60% - the traffic on Britain’s main trading link for three months.Doug Bannister, the chief executive of Port of Dover, said that the assumed drop in traffic would cut £1bn a trade every week. He said: That’s how critical it is. If there’s a no-deal Brexit, it’s not going to be OK. But people are doing all they can to ensure Britain keeps trading.Freeman said he hoped that goodwill would prevail should a deal not be agreed by October 31. Asked what preparations the government was making for “malign interventions” such as a potential blockade by French fishermen, Freeman said he had seen cabinet papers showing that “the Ministry of Defence are actively looking at it”, raising the potential for alarming escalation.
