At this rate we'll be getting a no deal exit & still be asking for a transition period.... with talks in Brussels deadlocked and Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union fewer than 18 months away, the man who oversees the port says he doesn’t know whether to train more customs officers, look at land purchases to ease congestion, or just keep calm and carry on. “Once we understand what it is that has to be done, then we can come up with a better plan,” says Chief Executive Officer Tim Waggott. “At the moment, you tell me what I need to plan for.”

Is Jonathon Bartley, channelling Elwood Blues?Caroline. It is an honour to share a stage with you - let alone a job!
Thank you on behalf of everyone here.
Thank you for bravely speaking the truth to those in power. And thank you for being OUR thorn in THEIR side.
Conference, I’m completely prepared for this speech.
I’ve got some Soothers.
I’ve got some Blue Tack, just in case any bits of the stage start falling off
And - most importantly - I’ve actually brought a vision for the future of this country.

From btl.
"Admittedly this is not the Brexit I was gunning for."
But surely the question is - is this the Brexit 51.8% of those who voted in an advisory referendum with a gerrymandered electorate voted for? The leading Brexiteers said that many of the "expectations" outlined above were part of "Project Fear" and that all would be sweetness and light once we threw off the shackles of the EU.

He is a strange one, in the mould of Dominic Cummings.
Both can appear to talk sense on occasion (especially on HM Govt's shortcomings) but their underlying belief structure is pretty barmy.
