My favourite bit of television on race relations btw. And the whole series is good anyway. It's the same recycled plots as all the other legal drama/comedies like Rumpole, Silk etc, set in the 1990s, with excellent music and pop culture references.

worst fires for 50 years in France, parts of UK must be at risk too, no rain on forecast for next fortnight

Said before... they can have some of our rain... Quite scary if they are talking about the UK as well - 'wild fires' always reported as a thing far far away (Spain, Australia, California) - the UK isn't set up to deal with wild fires.

Hush now, he is only knarky that this government has gone behind the Brexiteers backs and actually talked nice to the EU, and the French

How about playing the ball and not the player Steven P?

Normally, yes, but the one you quoted was following the natural flow of the conversation. I could have written it less succinctly but made the same point:

 

"those that voted for Brexit, the Brexiteers, would never accept a solution involving 'making a deal' with the French and the EU, it would mean breaking that sacred vow that all things EU are evil, should not be tolerated. All trade and world diplomacy should be directed away from the continent. Rwanda is a case in point where a civilised country, like the UK, actively supports sending the desperate to a country renowned for its genocide and human rights abuses"...but I think my original way was better and more to the point.
