Meanwhile rubbishes his own argument
www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-launches-bizarre-nonsensical-18332494?1
Addressing the crowd in London last night at his final campaign performance, Mr Johnson whipped out the plastic-wrapped fish which he said he had been handed by a national newspaper editor.
Mr Johnson claimed a kipper smoker is "utterly furious" because apparently his costs have been increased by EU rules he said mean each fish must be accompanied by a plastic-wrapped ice pillow.
"Pointless, expensive, environmentally-damaging health and safety, ladies and gentlemen," Mr Johnson said.
Except Mr Johnson revealed that the kipper smoker is from the Isle of Man.
Which isn't in the European Union.
So why do fish exporters not in the EU follow the rules of the giant trading bloc - driving up the costs of humble kipper smokers?
Well because if it they didn't they wouldn't be allowed to sell those tasty flecks of smoked fish to the European market.
And this - economists, international trade experts and lawyers have warned - is basically what is going to happen to the UK in a post Brexit trade deal.
Just believe. Your lack of optimism is misplaced.😀 Fair enough, Stuart. If this country wakes up on November 1st and all the kippers have gone, us leavers will have nobody to blame but ourselves. I`m off for a run round the civil service playing fields; try and take my mind off it all.

You`ve got me worried now. I`m off to South Africa in February, and I DO NOT want those Special lady gardens in Europe spoiling my holiday. I`ve looked on Google maps, and I reckon that if we turn right just before France, then hard left after we get past Spain, all should be well. I`ve spoken to British Airways, and they say that they take all customer input very seriously, so hopefully they are typing the new flight plan into their computer, even as I am typing this.
You'll be lucky if the planes are still flying after Brexit. Airbus will refuse to send spare parts to the UK and WTO rules mean that Boeing spare parts will cost a fortune. There is also the fact that all of the UK Pilots Licences will no longer be valid. Haven't you heard about this? Oh, and then the UK will no longer be able to use the Galilleo Navigation so even if a plane got off the ground it won't be able to even find South Africa. I'd recommend a week in Brixton instead. It's pretty much the same as SA. Brixton is NOT the same as South Africa. Does Brixton have a wine growing area like Stellenbosch? No, it does not. Also, I have every confidence in the pilot`s ability to find SA. People were navigating their way around the world, long before Galileo was painting the Mona Lisa. How do you think the Vikings discovered Australia?

Enjoyed the game, thought we looked alright. Rodman and Upson in particular had good games IMO. Also pleasantly surprised by Bath, who played the ball around really nicely operating in a Wilder-esque 3-5-2 with overlapping CBs. That big lad Bower won everything in the air (not hard when Reilly only came up to his crotch) and looked like he could play too, astute signing from Cheltenham it seems. Bath City were Excellent on Wednesday. It will be interesting to see their results against Newport and Exeter in preseason. I would not be surprised if they beat one of them. I predict a very good season for them on that showing. So do I. Watching that game, you wouldn`t have known which team was from the higher division. But it doesn`t always work out like that. I`ve seen us look impressive in preseason, and awful thereafter. And vice versa.

That's really, really funny. Well, look at you, man. I blame Les for this. His acolytes are starting to work themselves up into a frenzy.

I think Wood is out for 6 weeks. In other words will miss the Ashes. Great shame esp as Anderson is a worry with his injury. At least Archer is a great find and will be a great replacement. You`ve only got to look at their different actions, to see why one is always injured. Wood charges in, like Best Mate thundering up the hill at Cheltenham. Archer doesn`t have a long run up, and it`s so smooth and fluid. Hopefully, he won`t be beset by the problems that so many fast bowlers face.

The build up begins next week with a one off test Vs Ireland. Jason Roy has been included in the squad, Archer & Wood miss out with both having side strain's. Would it be too much of a risk by putting Archer straight in the first game without any test match experience? Roll on 1st Aug at Edgebaston, the semi Vs Australia proved what sort of atmosphere can be created there, IMO it'll go up a level for The Ashes. Wood just stumbles from one injury to the next. Real shame, as he`d definitely be an asset if he could stay fit.

Did you hear about the dyslexic alcoholic? He walked into a bra !!!! Yes I did, and did you hear about the agnostic, dyslexic insomniac? He lies awake wondering if there is a dog. And the dyslexic cricketer. Out WBL.

Don't really care what he thinks to be honest. You know what? I don't care about anything anymore. In fact, I shall order a crate of something fizzy and expensive and as of 31st October, sit back, watch the funniest show on earth as Johnson and the Tories tear this country apart. Enjoy everyone.

That's my concern too. Perhaps that explains the chase for Scales, a defender with pace? 3-5-2 seems a likely formation so he could fit naturally into that if he's good enough. Tbh the only way I could see us putting out a defence that suits playing a high line would be to go with something like... _____Little__Davies/Craig__Scales Hare_________________________Leahy ...or similar. At least then you'd have some pace in the two wider CBs, if not in the central one. However, not sure I'd want to sacrifice the pace Little gives us going forwards by playing him in a back three. From what I saw last night, that would be a waste of his talent.

All votes are off for player of the season! Little looks different class. 'Keeper lucky that both free kicks from just outside the area hit either upright. He was stranded on both occasions. Little looked the best player on the pitch to me. Knew what needed to be done, and did it. Good powerful header for the goal too. Keeper didn`t have much to do, apart from one good diving save, and to stand and watch the ball hit the post twice. Be interesting to see how he gets on, when the season proper starts. He reminds me of a taller, younger version of Michael Eavis, owner of Worthy Farm. Sercombe was abysmal. People on here who criticized Lines for his lack of enthusiasm for tackling, really ought to watch Sercombe. He makes Chris Lines look like one of the Kray Twins. Don`t know what happened to the player who first joined us. Same with Bennett. He drifted all over midfield last night, and showed one or two decent touches, but did he really have an impact on the game? Hardly.

It's quite simple. All grass courts tournaments start out being played on beautifully manicured surfaces, but by the end they resemble a hard mud surface. There is precious little grass left on the courts by then. The grass court joke of a grass court event in Halle in Germany is normally the worst of all of them. Clay courts are not made of mud. All hail Roger Federer who has just absolutely schooled Nadal.
Federer is simply the finest player to have ever graced the court.
Don`t think so. If Rod Laver was brought into the modern age, with 21st century rackets, proper fitness sessions and diets etc, he`d wipe the floor with Federer.

He`ll probably wear a nice rainbow shirt, Stuart. Only if Steve Bannon tells him to. Wasn`t he The Incredible Hulk?

See that Trump is coming out. How much longer before his protege's on this side of the Atlantic spout the same sh**e over here, once their man is in No 10. Trump coming out? 😀 It will be interesting how Boris Johnson reacts, isn't he doing a Sun sponsored hustings later? He`ll probably wear a nice rainbow shirt, Stuart.

Do you think Roy & Archer will be picked for The Ashes? Think Roy is a certainty, Archer though, it might have come too soon for him. Would love to see him playing, banging it in at 95MPH knocking those Aussies over. I`ll be surprised if he doesn`t play in the Ashes. If we don`t pick him, and we start off badly, the clamour to include him will be deafening.

How about the NZ batsman ducking under the final ball of their innings? That cost them. How about the 30 extras England gave away,in truth there were a fair number of things that could have gone either way. Agree absolutely. That`s what made it such a great game.

What an absolutely brilliant game. So well balanced throughout and a edge of your seat finish. Well played to NZ they were superb.The difference between winning and losing came down to one shot. The difference was a fielded ball hitting stokes gloves and going to the boundary.... There were about 4 unprecedented circumstances late in that game, what a corker, best sporting event ever.... How about the NZ batsman ducking under the final ball of their innings? That cost them.

I think a year`s ban was just about right. Players have tried to change the condition of the ball, since the game was invented. One of our own captains from recent history was hardly blameless, was he? Taking sandpaper onto the pitch and using it on the ball in full view of the tv cameras, was as stupid as it was brazen. But, Hell, they`re Australians. By the time that the Ashes series is over, they may well wish that they had been banned for life.
Absolute stupidity from the three of them. I think the bans were on the severe end tbh, the bigger scandal is Amir still playing despite being a match fixer. How that doesn't qualify for a life ban is beyond me. I don't care how young he was, he will have known full well what he was doing was corrupt. Yes. He definitely, er, overstepped the mark.
