Senior German politicians hit out at the UK over its Brexit policy, accusing them of “making it up as they go along”. 

Irish politician Ray Butler, who attended a meeting with the German officials, said the UK was also described as “farcical” during the no-holds-barred tirade.

Nick Boles: Why Britain should transition to full Brexit over three years – leaving before the next election is due
Nice to see, if, slightly suspect timetable. Also says
"The sobering example of Euratom, which few of us had ever even heard of until last weekend, is instructive. "
I presume he at least would have heard of it (and probably a fair percentage of his readership)

I would be happier if concern about this abuse wasn't being rather unsubtly weaponised at present.

And any internet old timer will tell you how bad things could be 15-20 years ago. It has always been around.

I don't really get why people here and elsewhere resort to it. A pretty good indication of losing an argument.

UK 'sleepwalking' into food insecurity after Brexit, academics say

Study attacks complacency after years of stable food supplies and prices, saying lack of policy ‘suggests chaos unless redressed’ (Guardian)
Blue passports, dodgy food, and rationing (the rationing bit is my own personal addition - but it wouldn't surprise me). Ah, the good old days.

The research suggests that the act of kissing is determined by the brain splitting up tasks to its different hemispheres, similar to being either right- or left-handed. This is specific to the functions in the left cerebral hemisphere, located in the emotion- and decision-related areas of the brain. Levels of hormones such as testosterone might be unevenly distributed in each hemisphere, causing a bias to turn right.
