But obviously also a much loved family man so I won’t be joining in a cheering of his death

Cheering would be weird but he was another gobshite. His line that he loved Europe and loves living in France but the EU has no purpose is exceptionally fucking thick. Its the sort of line that reminds me that the anointed ones are often immensely narrow

“You could say that once upon a time it served a useful purpose, in confining Germany. You could make that case – and I really bought into this in the 50s. But it’s passed its sell-by date: it’s served its purpose. I see no purpose in the EU now at all

You agree with that? I don't believe anyone who is not living in a world of Biggles and tally ho actually believes that shit. In the same interview he said, I quote, it doesn't really matter if the negotiations are protracted. He's an ideologue and clearly a bit of a fucking idiot. He believed that if you just pressed stop you could become Swirzerland only problem being he doesn't really know what Switzerland is

I completely understand Gog's point in this. There is no reason why the above should be "thick", let alone exceptionally so. Europe is a place. The EU is a political entity. They are very different.

I also think it's pretty arrogant of anyone to throw insults like that at someone who clearly thought for himself like Lawson, who (for instance) could see when so many others couldn't that lowering tax rates in the 80s might bring in more tax revenue.

That was not the main point or anywhere near the main point. Anyway arguing on the tittyweb is a mugs game

Neither can I. You should be grateful.

We are Germanys most important market ergo they will.have to sign a trade deal quickly and on favourable terms. Now like many posters I have done a bit of economics in college but I didn't need this to see that was not what was going to happen. In fact I thought Europe would completely restructure its market rather than accede to the English. Covid of course assisted them in this
