I really hope future historians don't study Beex.

And it turns out that they could have been red, blue, or purple with holographic unicorns all along.

To be honest, I've very much lost track of when I am being sarcastic and trolling in this thread and when I'm being genuine. Future historians will look back on this period of our history with amazement.

I fear that future folk will all be too busy trying to survive and then pick up the pieces to wonder or care about the generation of utter fuckwits who had it all and chose to throw it all away by just staring at their fucking phones.

Not anti-millenial in the slightest, I'm talking about my own generation as much as any other. I just have an increasingly unshakable feeling that we're sleepwalking into a fucking disaster.

Fair enough, I just thought because the 'staring at phones' thing is the usual jibe at millenials. That said I don't think we're distractedly sleepwalking into anything; once the referendum was decided I don't feel anyone has any real power to change how this plays out. People are plenty engaged and outraged, it just doesn't have any impact.

When is millenials?

We, by far, have not done our bit.

It's always Russel's fault.

Thank goodness you agree. I keep telling him that and I don’t think he believes me.

He needs to come up with a better name though.

If you '77 to '92, then you rollin' in MaliA's crew.

MaliA's crew.

He needs to come up with a better name though.

It's a shame there isn't a way to vote for leaving this group.

He sends 350 million pictures of Julia Bradbury a week. Let's send them to the NHS instead.

Meanwhile, Brexit Secretary David Davis has accused Mr Corbyn of selling "snake oil".

Barry Gardiner was, once again, useless on R4 talking about this . Wholly unconvincing.

This must be the only Department in history that underspends its budget not by a couple of percentage points, but by 50% in its first year, and it has had to go to the Treasury to scale down its estimates of spending in the next financial year.

Foreign secretary compares crossing Irish border to travelling from Westminster to Camden

Boris Johnson appears to have told the Prime Minister "it is wrong to see the task as maintaining 'no border'" on the island of Ireland after Brexit - and that the Government's task will be to "stop this border becoming significantly harder".

The major leak from the Cabinet's Brexit deliberations on the highly contentious Irish border is included in a letter passed to Sky News.

Its revelation has prompted calls for Theresa May to consider the position of her Foreign Secretary.

Writing to the Prime Minister, Mr Johnson also seeks to play down the "exaggerated impression" of "how important checks are" at EU external borders.

He also goes as far as contemplating a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, writing: "Even if a hard border is reintroduced, we would expect to see 95% + of goods pass the border [without] checks."


It suggests a significant downgrading of expectations about the change to the Irish border as a result of the Government's Brexit strategy and Mrs May's plan to leave the EU's single market and customs union.

As recently as November last year, the Foreign Secretary told the House of Commons: "There can be no return to a hard border. There can be no hard border.

"That would be unthinkable, and it would be economic and political madness".

In February 2016, ahead of the EU referendum, Mr Johnson promised the Irish border would be "absolutely unchanged".

It can be real pain otherwise, as the people of Camden know.
