    Donald Tusk resigned as the Prime Minister of Poland to take his current job, which, to say the European Union is just a trading arrangement with no real power, has always struck me as odd.

    It (and the UN) are a massive deal for the likes of Belgium, Luxembourg, the Scandi countries and indeed Poland. It's their golden ticket to relevance.

    If it didn't mean joining forces with France and Germany, we should get them to leave too, then join forces with France and Germany.

    There are so many stereotypes you could call upon to explain it all, like that Irish bloke does with his weird seethes about the English which Remain Twitter laps up without any sense of irony.

    Remain Twitter is very weird in this regard (the self hating). They were never like this before the referendum. What do they think it's like over there, some kind of social democratic utopia? Most of Europe is either empty, arid brushland, or a massive industrial estate full of career racists. We have the second bit but also have a diverse, functioning economy, which we are one of about three countries in the region to have.

    I should probably know more about how all this functions, but when people are constantly whomping on about having or being part of a (the) customs union, do they have any idea what that entails?

    What does the customs union do? Is it (simply) an outward facing tariff wall to protect the internal European/EU market, or does it also provide for the removal of tariffs between countries within the bloc? I assumed it was the former, with the latter being achieved via the single/internal market (which is built on the various fundamental freedoms). So, my question is, if the UK were in the customs union, does it, either logically or factually, also have to be in the single market - or is it possible to be just in the customs bit? And then, if that is the case, does that mean the UK applies the common tariff to non-eu arriving goods etc (we can decide who gets to keep the tariff later) but wouldn't, itself, have unfettered access to the EU market?

    Because if you do get market access, and the price is just being part of the EU tariff bloc, and not the single market rules, then it would seem a bit of a no-brainer to try and go with that (which is why I assume it can't be the case) - it would effectively make the UK an offshore route into the EU. Access to the European market, but not bound by the rules of the single market itself. A double English if you will.

    And, in the alternative, which I assume is the case (customs union is effectively tied to single market membership, which is effectively [tied to] being in the EU), is this position just a weasel-words political way of trying to stay within the theory of giving credence to the referendum result but not really leaving, or do its proponents actually believe it is a workable and achievable way of leaving?

    As regards Tusks comments, all they do is make the case for remaining in the next referendum all the more difficult to make (they galvanise anti-EU sentiment), and whilst he acknowledged that wasn't really a well supported or realistic thing at the moment, it is surely the intended end game for the EU (and large swathes of the UK government/populace), so why say it?

    Always nice to know what local idiot, Gavin Williamson is up to.

    Last summer, senior figures in the defence department were reported to be exasperated by some of Williamson’s eccentric suggestions for stretching the defence budget. According to the Sun, he put forward the idea of mounting guns on tractors as makeshift mobile missile launchers, and buying secondhand ferries to convert them to beach assault craft. A source told the Sun: “The man is out of his mind. No one knows what to do.”


    He even tried to launch his own set of medals for gallantry, apparently oblivious to the fact that only the Queen can approve such honours.

    To the incredulity of his staff, Williamson was at it again before Christmas when he proposed firing paintballs to deter Spanish ships from trespassing in Gibraltar’s waters. During a regular Ministry of Defence meeting with senior armed forces staff, he suggested that Gibraltarians could be armed with paintball guns to fire at passing Spanish ships to scare them off. In response the chief of defence staff, Gen Sir Nick Carter, simply rolled his eyes,

    Also, I have an idea to put little Englanders in their place on Brexit. The main issue appears to be the Irish border and the fact that it's going to need checkpoints and so forth. So - instead of having Irish police and troops do so, since it's a European border I suggest that we invite Europeans to man it. Specifically, German troops. Possibly even in some nice retro uniforms.

    If it were up to me, I would just leave the EU and leave the border as it is. If the EU wants to put border controls in place then they can have that hot potato to themselves

    It says something about where I am with politics that there are more 'sides' to take than ever before yet I'm still on none of them.

    I don't want Chuka's fucking 'everything was fine before 2015' position. Corbyn's 'I hate Europe but I'm going to pretend I both do/don't depending on who's asking' is just fucking idiotic and on the other side of the idiot ship, Chris Graylings still got a job in the cabinet despite having less synapses firing off in his brain than a particularly malnourished root vegetable.
