    The EU haven't planned for no-deal. There's no way to buy our visas. So while you slag off our (elected) PM, remember your (un-elected) President isn't doing much better.
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      Oh, they’ve planned for it all right - that’s why you can’t buy visas, it’s a deliberate policy to keep you out ;-)

      My Presidents all happen to be elected. The EU one was elected by the U.K. Prime Minister as a member of the Council on our behalf.

      Edit: and approved by MEPs, also on our behalf....

        Probably the first sensible thing the EU have ever done...

        Not quite. She had no competition, yet still only scraped through the vote of MEPs. Mrs May may have nominated her (I hope to God she didn't, because this mad loon looks like she'll make Juncker seem totally reasonable, but that's a discussion for another day).

          Only scraped through = elected. And can still be rejected (democratically) when the Commission is determined.

          HTH, BIDI. it seems like you have a pathological desire not to understand the process.

            Maybe Scoots won't be allowed back in the plane to Germany. That would serve you right.

                The Lysander parts are now made in Germany and stuck in customs. Meanwhile the Thistle Hotel Heathrow has spontaneously combusted in disgust and scoots escaped.
