Worth noting that the ad hominem attack is the refuge of those who have run out of reasoned, logical ideas. Looks like the JRM well is dry.

Because of course, instead of just making stuff up as he goes along, JRM could look at the actual effects Brexit's already having on UK interests...
And he may well agree with me that Theresa May's Brexit plan is a non-starter, but he's coming at it from a totally different (and misguided) angle...
His notion of a no deal Brexit just won't fly...

This is a radio ad the Government has started running as part of its no deal Brexit preparations...

It directs people to a nice website with warm and fuzzy graphics...

And as soon as you go deeper, you're thrown into the opaque preparedness notices.

That's like flying a sky banner saying "Roll up. Learn the secrets of the Universe" then handing people a copy of Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time".

Utterly, utterly bonkers. And as much use as a bun at a bear fight.

A few thoughts on alternatives to Brexit...
- Bring in proportional representation
- Cancel HS2 and spend the tens of £billions on improving *regional* rail and other transport links
- Turn the HOL into an entirely elected second chamber (its oversight function is useful)
- Recognise the merit of a booming economy in London and the SE. Celebrate it and nurture it. Then milk the cash cow and spread that delicious cream across the whole of the UK.
- Foster an entrepreneurial mentality that rewards a "British Dream" (parallels to the American Dream)
- End the culture of secrecy in Government, except in cases of genuine national security. Transparency and accountability at every level. Shine a bright light into the darkest corners.
- Set up a "regional sifting committee" to vet all large infrastructure projects to ensure that

Government is trying to foist the blame for any Brexit chaos in the adult social care sector off on local authorities and directors of adult social care facilities. This from the letter sent to them on 21 December last year... (Full letter at link below.)
gov.uk/government/pub…
More from the letter:
" Many of these issues will have either a direct or indirect impact on councils and it is also possible that they will have a financial consequence for providers."
More from the letter (doubling down on the "legal" bit):
"I encourage you to work closely with your adult social care providers, in line with your legal market shaping duties, to assure yourself that any impact on providers can be managed locally."

A bilingual sign tells you more than just where you need to go.

It tells you a country has more than one native language.

It tells you how the names for places are connected, or sometimes not, between languages.

It teaches you what others call that place in their language.
It demonstrates that the country values linguistic diversity and equality between linguistic communities.

It may tell you that you are entering a place whether another language is more predominent.
It tells you that you may expect to hear another language or experience another culture upon arrival.

It may tell you that folk spoke a now minoritised language in a place before the dominant majority language.

The Altai region of Central Asia seems at first to be a remote & peaceful place. But it also sits on the world's busiest flight path for space missions.

Here used-up rockets regularly crash to earth, & local people are left to salvage what they can of the wreckage.
The Altai mountain range sits right in the centre of Asia.

This is a rugged landscape that forms a junction between the snow forests of Sibera, the Kazakhstani steppes & the desert plateau of Mongolia.
Wild reindeer are found here, as well as tiny musk deer & brown bears that follow retreating snow fields in spring.

THREAD: @Jacob_Rees_Mogg has become the latest Brexiteer to belittle concerns about the implications of Brexit for security in Northern Ireland telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
To help conversions on this topic be better informed, I thought I should write a timeline of terrorism (perpetrated by both sides) in NI. For brevity sake, I will only cover the period SINCE the Brexit referendum (23 June 2016). Brace yourselves. This will be a long one:
