I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but just in case it’s you, you matter.
Whoever you are and whatever you are.
Unless you’re a Nazi.
Or a TERF.
Or a cunt.
But everyone else, you matter.
And don’t forget that.

My first foreign holiday on y own passport (burgundy, European Communities, still have it, used it as ID at last general election) was to France. It was my job to go with the father in to village to get berated each day.
Quite a task for someone that has done one term of French lessons!

Would that be to the north or to the south of the North of England?

I saw someone over on Twatter this morning moan and whinge about lack of rail infrastructure and how we needed to build fast lines from (their example) Liverpool to Blackpool and the Lakes, implication being why would anyone want a foreign holiday when they can spend a week in Blackpool.

However many lessons they get, we ALL know the Welsh are the better archers.

Well, the French certainly do...

They should be rejoicing, they got what they voted for...

Well there’s an understatement and a half…
And that’s putting it mildly…

FUNNY!

As I keep saying, all our ills during membership were blamed on the EU controlling us.
Outside, all our ills are blamed on the EU for punishing us.
The Stoopids will see EES from UK and believe that this only applies to Brits, because that's what they're being told by very loud voices.

So Royal Mail/Post Office don't have to do anything.
