    Build back potatoes

    And for Dominic Raab, he can always count to potato if he wants
    I'd like to see Raab in a head to head at Mastermind with a potato.

    The betting would be too close to call, and the lack of a mouth or any other means of communication would not necessarily be a handicap for the potato.

    I imagine Raab would be pleased with a draw, which could later be claimed as a symbolic victory.

    Channel 4 news filled a lorry driver delivering donuts to Germany from Leeds. She picked up some milkshakes in Holland and brought them back. I kid you not she got out her depot and was going to pick up the donuts. Was told to stop as a vet had to check what she was picking as they had cream in them and was classed as an animal product. 4 days to get back home. No wonder the country is ****ed.

    So long as we can get the potatoes out the ground a modern, forward looking high tech Britain will always have chips.

    Surely we can claim that levelling up of chips to the same level as before is a Brexit bonus?

    As long as they’re chips and not french fries then yes we can.

    What’s with the obsession about Christmas?

    I mean, I like Christmas, but it’s like our National priorities are being set by a 5 year old.

    Quite a few generations now living in an extreme consumer society. It's capitalisms biggest festival and if families can't get hold of large quantities of useless plastic and at least three times more food than they need, most of which will be chucked, they feel they are being oppressed.

    My English in-laws go absolutely mental before Christmas and most of it feels like they are competing with each other.

    If our supply chains and infrastructure are not coping now then in the run up to Xmas it is going to be chaos. Our consumption levels go through the roof in November/December. Satisfying that demand if going to very very difficult this year and people are going to be very upset when they can’t do what they normally do. Add a fuel and energy crisis into the mix and I’ll be shocked if the UK does not move into a severe recession going into the new year.

    Is it because he might have a chance of actually delivering on a soundbite?

    Turkey in our time?

    I mean it's not as if we've never been able to have a shortage free Christmas before.

    It would surely be a big huzzah for Bozo in the media if Turkey and Brussel sprouts were simultaneously available to a grateful nation.
    Even if they are imported from Europe and cost even more money than fuel post Brexit.

    After all the incessant bleating from the right about a culture war it's pretty ironic that the first thing with a genuine shot at cancelling Christmas is Brexit.

    Personally I’ve got no problem with Christmas being cancelled. At least the overblown, consumer driven orgy of buying useless crap for people who don’t want or need it. Love the family time, love the relaxation and time away from constant work, but less of the things I’m not bothered about would be a bonus.

    Not sure my 14 year old likes the idea of cutting back on the presents but there you are.

    I could be wrong but I get the feeling the Brexiteers and torys are very much concerned about Christmas and the opportunity to celebrate a very British traditional Christmas. White Santa and baby Jesus, pissed up Christmas Eve to Boxing Day, standing for the Queens speech, turkey and sprouts (not packaged as Brussels sprouts!) Alf Garnett personified.

    I haven't heard anyone, politicians or press, concerned about any other religions religious festivals falling before the end of the year.

    Brussels sprouts will go the same way as the German shepherd, I think that they will be renamed as brassica buds.

    A week in the Costa de Sol? Outside of half term where he won’t have to rub shoulders with the great unwashed? Capitol notion. 7 weeks summer holiday is clearly not enough for him.

    Was looking at MPs pay yesterday. They vote themselves an increase every year without fail, despite economic conditions. From £65k to £81 since 2010, which is still‘miserly’ according to a Tory MP last week.

    It's almost as if Bozo signed up for this without reading it first.

    Maybe he was on holiday at the time.

    Reading between the lines the tone of that sounds like a bully intoning, "don't you know who I am?" The reality is filtered through Billy Connollys quip, "don't you know who I was?"
