Found an old newspaper in our attic that was a day or two shy of being 100 years old. Great coincidence and perfect for the story to run on the 100th anniversary.

We bought a copy and put both back in the attic, ready for whoever sees it in another 100 years!

Yeah don’t be surprised if you find an old family member under all of that after Christmas.

I imagine that must be genuinely rubbish but I’m sorry I can’t help thinking about it being a skeleton service since the end of October. 🎃 💀 🧙

Good.

Brexit was actually a very good thing. If you’re a multimillionaire owner of a multinational business, or looking to short the pound, or any number of things that are only available to the rich. Shite for the rest of us though.

Nice to meet you, Gregório Felipe. 👍

Then it’s the equivalent of 2 Texan cups (or 2 and 4/13ths Federal cups).

Goodbye independence marches too then.

Yeah. I had selected those quotes because they highlight what a shit situation we’re in. I get the logic; it’s just depressing that the logic is sound.

However, it remains to be seen how Labour will react to Just Stop Oil. I think they’ll be less blunt but will pretty much treat them the same way. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Mr Vince, a major Labour donor, said further action was "pointless" because the government had shown it would drill for oil "come what may".

God that’s depressing.

Further disruption, he added, would help "feed the Tories' culture-war narrative".

Fair point but still depressing.

Instead, he said, he would divert funding to the anti-Conservative vote.

So no longer specific to halting oil production at all then. Sigh.

We are in a union between two countries. That’s the key difference.

e.g. our law systems are separate and pre-date the Union itself.
