Peter Bone misrepresents Donald Tusk's remark in #PMQs by selectively leaving most of it out.

What D.T. ACTUALLY said: "I've been wondering what that special place in hell looks like, for those who promoted #Brexit, without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it out safely."
Joanna Cherry, the SNP MP just called him on it.
The ironic point is, by explicitly showing offence, Peter Bone is self-categorising as one of *those* Brexiters, the clueless ones without a plan.

Enough is enough! Laundry list of what US lobbyists are demanding before any UK trade deal reads like a horror film.
- scrap safety first approach to food quality
- weaken data protection
- allow hormone beef
- allow GM foods
- cut cattle farming subsidies
huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/what-us-…
- remove mandatory GM labelling
- get rid of safety first approach to chemicals
- scrap GI protections on e.g. Cornish pasties
- change NHS drug procurement rules
- lower dairy hygiene standards
- allow data transfers overseas
- allow businesses to sue the UK itself
etc. etc.
No prize is worth that level of damage. It's just not. So we should forget about ever doing our own trade deal with the US. Perhaps the EU's immeasurably stronger negotiating power would be able to whittle down the list to something bearable. But us? Never in a million years!

Brexit and the Irish border issue... an analogy:
Think of the border as a piece of rope strung over a canal that flows between NI and the Republic. At the moment, there's nothing to impede the free passage of boats. The level of the canal is the same on both sides of the rope.
Same regulatory environment, same standards, etc., all derived from the EU. But after Brexit, the level of the water in NI will begin to change, unless the UK commits to locking itself permanently into exactly the same situation as Ireland's by tracking every change the EU makes.
But if the water level becomes different on one side of the rope and the other, you're going to need something much more sophisticated than a rope to keep the waterway open. You're going to need a lock. The lock's the hard border, with all its infrastructure and mechanisms.

£774,053,350 worth of penalty charge notices have been issued on the Dartford Crossing up until Dec 2018 (11,057,905 PCNs at £70 each). Amount collected may have been less (penalty is halved if paid within 14 days) but it's still a massive hidden tax!
theyworkforyou.com/wrans/?id=2019…
For reference the Dart Charge system was put in place in November 2014. So in just over 4 years, drivers passing through the area clocked up over three quarters of a billion pounds in fines. It's a run-rate of £15.48 million a month in fines!
More background to Dart Charge can be found in the Wikipedia entry for the Dartford Crossing, under "Charges".

Busy day, catching up with news. It's all "Did Tusk mean these or those people?" - heaven help us (or not). The text is "I've been wondering what that special place in hell looks like, for those who promoted Brexit, without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it out safely" ...
... it seems a bizarre waste of time for news cycles to get caught up with interpretation of Tusk's rather unhelpful comment.
Fortunately, there's @bbclaurak for a sensible response - "Donald Tusk's planned outburst" - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

I have no idea why Tusk's comments are at all controversial. The Brexiteers made a virtue of not having a plan and continued to peddle fantasies all the way through A50. Never once did they honestly engage in the technical dilemmas created by #Brexit.
They never sat down to work out what they wanted to achieve. At every juncture they just reached out to any passing crackpot or Shanker Shitehawk for a glossy PDF that largely agreed with their juvenile assumptions. It was all bluff and invention. They ducked every tough question
Instead they abnegated all of their responsibility to May and wailed from the sidelines, demanding May push ahead with an agenda that was always destined to fail simply because it was never grounded in factual analysis. They never understood issues.

John Bercow calling Peter Bone a delicate flower is a thing of joy, and Joanna Cherry ensuring Donald Tusk's words are registered in Hansard tops it all off beautifully

Solid British humour ftw, even in the face of the Unbearable Shiteness of Brexit

#MakeItStop #JustMakeItStop
Very pleased that Donald Tusk's heartfelt reaction to the Unbearable Shiteness of Brexit is now recorded in Hansard for posterity 🤣

Well done to all of those continuing to speak plain truths

I know everyone's gone straight to fighty biting about @eucopresident's fervent hope that those *responsible* for Brexitshambles will be rewarded with suitable punishment (#NotAllLeaveVoters)

but think it's important to read the full extent of his remarks

Worth listening to the whole context of Tusk’s comments

“ The EU is primarily a peace project....this is why we insist on the backstop, a visible guarantee for peace in NI

A sense of responsibility tells us to prepare for a possible fiasco...

THEN he says. (Having said out that preserving Peace is the aim)

“I have been wondering what the special place in Hell looks like for those who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan as to how to carry it out safely”

I.E. With no deliverable plan for preserving peace
Microphone picks up @campaignforleo warning @eucopresident: "they'll give you terrible trouble". Tusk nods and laughs (“Yes. I know”.)
