All three go with a Tory Party official to examine the fence. The contractor from up north takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says, "I figure the job will run about ÂŁ9000. ÂŁ4000 for materials, ÂŁ4000 for my crew, and ÂŁ1000 profit for me."

The EU had no need of a border on the island of Ireland, or down the Irish Sea. UK did.
The EU had no desire to undermine the status of Brits in Spain, or Spaniards in Britain. UK did. The EU had no desire to add tariffs and mountainous red tape to trade with the UK. UK did.
The EU had no need to trash member states and predict - and wish upon them - the demise of their political union, economy and currency. UK did.

A COUP HAS TAKEN PLACE IN UK - AND MOST PEOPLE HAVEN’T NOTICED OR DON’T CARE

The Supreme Court ruled that PM Johnson lied to the Queen, lied to Parliament and lied to the people about his reasons for proroguing Parliament. Most people didn’t notice or didn’t care.
