BRexit : Shall UK stay in EU or go now?

[calvinhobbes]

I temporarily leave to escape the worst of Brexit and then I may arrive to this shit? FUCK. T.H.E.M. So. Hard.

On public transport, while it certainly wasn’t full, I did see covidiots with their masks under the chin, another one took his off to make a phone call and then, of course, there were those with masks below the nose. Nobody around to enforce anything.

These days, getting a Tory to care about anything but Brexshit would be a miraculous achievement. The UK is now firmly on my travel blacklist.

Yup. A fit person can swim from England to France, whereas Australia and New Zealand are totally remote in comparison.
