WHOOSH! My ironical comment must have passed an awful long way overhead.

I think you are probably right, and I do hope so, or all our sakes. (1) This is a prime example of a circular argument, He's propounding "project fear", therefore he's a remainer, therefore he subscribes to "project fear"? Perhaps his speech is more accurately termed "project reality". It contains facts, not guesswork. and we can all see what has happened since June 2016 whether we like it or not. (2) What part of: ...do you not understand?

I just love the way you animal lovers think. What does the cat have to say about it? No, of course his personal costs will not immediately increase, but I was making the point that the general trend will inevitably be upwards as more and more punters follow his example.

No, I think he just read it with a closed mind. Brexit isn't an event, it's process. The speech helpfully included that as Lesson 3.

Be prepared to pay more for your next veterinary consultation and pet insurance premium. Vet practices aren't like the NHS -- the users have to pay for them.

I just remind myself how much I like being alive.

Not a speed issue -- comfort. I wouldn't be able to stand up straight afterwards.

My medical notes do not say 'non-smoker', they say 'ex-smoker', and I gave up 37 years ago. Giving up is dead easy. All you have to do is stop putting cigarettes in your mouth and lighting them. The really difficult thing is not starting again.

I was convinced it was a spoof, the first time I saw it.

Perhaps it's just me, but I find that Fiona Bruce needs to open her mouth and e-nun-ci-ate when reading the news. She has a habit of swallowing syllables whole. probably because she is concentrating more on her simpering smile. I don't have that problem with any other newsreader.

I'll choose to disagree until I have driven one to Dundee and back in a day. Summed up in seven words.

And I think most Labour Party MPs and members are quite happy at the moment to sit back and watch the Self-servatives self-destruct.

At least it should settle Johnson's and Rees-Smug's hashes for the time being. The centre-right of the Tory party knows full well that either of them would be even more of an electoral liability than the Maybot. ...Except that they have all got behind their leader now instead of plotting to depose him. It is not Labour's mess, it's the Tories', and always has been. There is no getting away from that with whataboutery.

It's not the 75% of the country I'm bothered about, it's the chance of getting an ignoramus for a Prime Minister that should worry us all.

They do. Haven't you heard of Immingham (see above), Felixstowe, Liverpool, Heysham, Cardiff, Newcastle and dozens of others? Mind you, Dover's geographical location explains why so much stuff comes through there, and Raab should have known that.
