But..., Cameron is a liar, just like Boris, and Corbyn. We can't be lead by these people, yet if people kick up, even if they agree we should leave they are wrong'uns.

Goes without saying that all politicians are liars.  

 

What do you mean, if people kick up, that they are wrong uns? Having been thoroughly betrayed by our elected representatives who have blithely disregarded the the outcome of a democratic referendum, isn't it time to 'kick up'?

the law decided unanimously that Boris just can't do what he likes,

Doesn't it just illustrate the state of desperation that is being reached, to uphold the will of the majority of the population, that he will try just about anything to get it done.

 

MPs preventing exit should be ashamed.

Someone would have to write an email to a chap in Ghana asking for bank details so they can give him €50m.

If it ends up with EU cultural grant funding they’ll probably end up doubling (and getting) grant aid at those figures. 

 

Simple recipe:

 

Take a task (any task),

 

Add public sector bullshit, Bureaucracy and bluster,

 

Sprinkle with ineptitude, lack of accountability, flexible working and a twist of corruption,

 

Seek grant funding from another equally inept organisation (esp EU),

 

Mix well to blur any lines of accountability,

 

Bake for just long enough for those involved to be rewarded with great accolade and civic distinction before it is realised how over schedule and over budget the scheme actually is,

 

And there you have it! Same shit, different project!
