He probably has shoulder issues. I have to do the same thing. Every once in a while. While I'm at work.Yoooooo, that move at the 1:42 mark! WTF!
More or less. The one thing you left out is that many people based their votes on misinformation or on no information at all. Then they found out the horrible truth afterward. There is really only one way out and thats to abandon Brexit.
now ya talkin!!!!!
The only saving grace is that the EU has no intention of allowing to Brits leave at all, with or without a deal.
The objective is to force Brits into another referendum with Remain vs Remain.
This is ideological remember. The project must continue.
Brits will only leave if they first destroy either the EU or Westminster.
grandma aint here for the shenanigans

Protesters march on Westminster chanting 'not my prime minister"
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/pol...results-2019-conservative-party-a4312606.html
Hundreds of protesters have descended on Downing Street chanting 'not my prime minister' after Boris Johnson's landslide election victory.
It comes after the Prime Minister addressed the nation on the steps of No.10 calling for "closure" to a period marred by Brexit divisions and saying it was time "to let the healing begin”.
Meanwhile, Mr Johnson called SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon to make clear his opposition to a second independence referendum after the party made wipe-out gains in Scotland.
Overnight, Jeremy Corbyn and Jo Swinson had a torrid time at the polls, with the former leading his party to its greatest loss since the 1930s, and the latter losing her seat.

UK seals deal with EU after months of talks Mehreen Khan The EU and UK have agreed a landmark future trade agreement after negotiators were locked in hours of talks in Brussels. In a statement, the British government said: "Everything that the British public was promised during the 2016 referendum and in the general election last year is delivered by this deal. We have taken back control of our money, borders, laws, trade and our fishing waters.
.
"The deal is fantastic news for families and businesses in every part of the UK. We have signed the first free trade agreement based on zero tariffs and zero quotas that has ever been achieved." European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen called the agreement a "fair and balanced deal".
.
"It was a long and winding road but we have got a good deal to show for it. This agreement will set solid foundations for a new start with a long-term friend. It means that we can finally put Brexit behind us and Europe is continuing to move forward," Ms von der Leyen said at a press conference on Christmas Eve.
Trump, easily. Boris is a dick head but he is at least a politician.
Covid: New lockdown for England as cases surge

Everyone in England must stay at home except for permitted reasons during a new coronavirus lockdown beginning at midnight, Boris Johnson has announced.
All schools and colleges will close to most pupils and switch to remote learning until the middle of February.
The PM urged people to follow the new rules immediately amid surging virus cases and patient numbers.
He said those in the top four priority groups would receive a first vaccine dose by mid-February.
Mr Johnson said that the weeks ahead would be the "hardest yet" but added that he believed the country was entering "the last phase of the struggle".
Scotland earlier issued a stay-at-home order and joined Wales in closing classrooms for most pupils.
Northern Ireland's Stormont Executive are also meeting to discuss possible new measures.
On Monday, the UK recorded more than 50,000 new confirmed Covid cases for the seventh day in a row.
A further 58,784 cases and an additional 407 deaths within 28 days of a positive test result were reported, though deaths in Scotland were not recorded.

Matt Hancock acted unlawfully by failing to publish Covid contracts
High court judge rules failure to publish details of contracts within 30 days was transparency breach
Fri 19 Feb 2021 15.01 GMT
https://www.theguardian.com/society...ly-failing-publish-covid-contracts-high-court
The health secretary, Matt Hancock, acted unlawfully by failing to publish multibillion-pound Covid-19 government contracts within the 30-day period required by law, a high court judge has ruled.
The judge, Mr Justice Chamberlain, ruled the failure to do so breached the “vital public function” of transparency over how “vast quantities” of taxpayers’ money was spent.
The judgment is a victory for the Good Law Project (GLP), a crowdfunded not-for-profit organisation that is making a series of legal challenges related to the government’s procurement of protective personal equipment (PPE) and other services during the pandemic.
Research by the procurement consultancy Tussell had found Hancock’s Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) had spent about £15bn buying PPE from different companies by the beginning of October, but that only £2.68bn worth of contracts had been published.
Government regulations require all contracts with a value of more than £10,000 to be published, and to be sent for publication within 30 days of being awarded.
The GLP highlighted three PPE contracts to illustrate their case: a £252m contract for the supply of face masks with a finance company, Ayanda Capital; a £108m contract with Clandeboye Agencies, which had previously supplied only confectionery products, and PPE contracts worth £345m with a company trading as Pestfix.
None of the contracts was published within the required 30-day period. Tussell found that the average time for publication of Covid-19 related contracts was 47 days, which meant the government’s own 30-day deadline was likely to have been breached “in a substantial number of cases”, Chamberlain said.
Hancock and the DHSC had fully opposed and defended the challenge, including by arguing that the GLP had no legal standing to bring a case. The DHSC’s head of procurement had explained the challenges of procuring PPE rapidly during the pandemic and ensuring that contracts were published, and the department denied it had any intention not to publish them.
Chamberlain ruled: “The secretary of state’s evidence provides a cogent explanation of his historic failure to comply … but this explanation amounts to an excuse, not a justification. It follows that, in my judgment, the secretary of state acted unlawfully by failing to comply with the transparency policy.”
The obligation to publish contracts within 30 days “serve a vital public function and that function was no less important during a pandemic”, he said. “The secretary of state spent vast quantities of public money on pandemic-related procurements during 2020. The public were entitled to see who this money was going to, what it was being spent on and how the relevant contracts were awarded.”
Jolyon Maugham QC, the GLP’s director, welcomed the judgment and said it was significant for the organisation’s other legal challenges, which include one related to the Cabinet Office’s contract with the research company Public First, which was heard on Monday. The government argues in those cases too that the GLP has no legal standing.
The GLP has written to Hancock asking him to publish all outstanding contracts, and the names of companies whose offers to supply PPE were processed through the “VIP lane”, a high-priority route given to referrals by MPs, peers and others with political connections. The government has refused repeated requests to publish the list of companies.
Maugham said: “I’d rather that there was no need for organisations like ours to have to sue government to get it to come clean. The public is plainly entitled to know how and with whom and at what prices government spends public money.
“Anything else is a recipe for corruption. But until government understands and respects that there is a genuine public interest in how they are awarding Covid contracts, including through the VIP lane, we have little choice.”
A DHSC spokesperson said contracts were awarded “at speed” to secure PPE during the pandemic, and that 8bn items were delivered to frontline workers for their protection. “We fully recognise the importance of transparency in the award of public contracts and continue to publish information about contracts awarded as soon as possible.”
The GLP’s judicial review challenge was supported by the Labour MP Debbie Abrahams, Caroline Lucas of the Green party and the Liberal Democrat MP Layla Moran, who all welcomed the judgment.
