No bus but the snow has appeared to have largely melted.

So not magic, just so advanced and futuristic technology that it appears to be magic, and um, sometime in the future?The UK prime minister Theresa May is stepping up plans to tackle the Irish Border question in Brexit talks through an audacious customs scheme once described as “magical thinking” in Brussels .
The scheme, which will be discussed with EU officials this month, would see the UK act as the external frontier for the EU, collecting tariffs and carrying out other checks on imports, but it could take many years to introduce.

The unity of the Brexiteer response is, in a way, impressive. Their strategy is clear: just hold your nerve for another year, get Britain out at the end of next March and the job will be done. It’s like watching Mourinho’s Manchester United : win the next match in the ugliest way possible and don’t worry about the longer-term consequences.
That the strategy condemns you to never really win anything important is beside the point. It will be somebody else who eventually has to clean up the mess. Brexiteers really are like members of the old Soviet politburo pretending that communism delivers both economic prosperity and social progress.

The plan rests on the development of tracking technology to identify the final destination for goods, and it is still widely regarded in Brussels as fanciful and probably unworkable."
There is currently a dispute with the EU, where the UK did NOT apply the correct tariffs which cost the EU a few €Billions ...
I wouldn't trust the UK HMRC /Border Force with anything serious, one would have to check up all the time ... . OTOH the same must apply to many of the other 'frontier' states today , one of the weaknesses of the EU

If I'm not here, then I'll be in the library. Or the other library.

It certainly seems as though Smith and Woodcock have "jumped the shark" here.
It's hard to find reasoned support on Twitter for their position. Andrew Neil's certainly doesn't come across as reasoned!

Gently amusing to see Labour and Unite supporting De la Rue in their appeal against the decision not to award the blue passport contract to them
