Escobarp Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 2 hours ago, Spider said: It was a lighthearted reference to another leader who recently went down in flames, albeit on a much grander scale. Whilst he didn't directly ask for people to be twatted, his actions led to said twattings taking place. For future reference I will explain my posts to you in a more literal sense as you seem to struggle joining satirical dots. In a previous post, I compared the current political situation in Scotland to that of a Hollywood film about a famous Scottish rebel called William Wallace. Of course, I was stretching the literal boundaries of truth with what I wrote. This is a device used by many people in a social setting to make a conversation a little more colourful. Naturally, I don't think Nicola Sturgeon (who I believe you often refer to by alternate names to colour your posts) is going to wear a kilt anytime soon and wave her genitalia in the debating chambers. But she might. I used Braveheart as an admittedly hacked old trope and I will apologise for trying to remove some gravity from this deadly serious situation. In future, I will stick slavishly to the subject matter and abstain from attempting lame jokes or the use of poorly researched Mel Gibson films as a point of reference for my responses. I'm pretty sure I don't need mental assistance yet, but will do some research just for you and report back shortly. Thank you for your concern, I look forward to our continued association. Quite amusing that you miss the satire in my initial response and then go onto accuse me of missing it. But never mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green genie Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 A warning from the governor of the Bank of England to the EU makes the front of the Financial Times. It says Andrew Bailey has told the bloc that it risks a "serious escalation" in tensions with the UK if it tries to force banks into taking business away from London. Doesn't mention how he can stop market forces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the issues discussed in parliament and addressed by relevant department. For example there was a potential problem with vat on cars being applied twice, which has now been resolved. Obviously different problems for different industries, but they're getting there albeit slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
