Shit, if you owned a company that primarily did business with and/or in The Continent, you'd pretty much have to relocate from Britain now, wouldn't you?

Correct me if I'm wrong Mr. Baloney, but wasn't one of the big complaints about being in the EU the amount of red tape and stupid regulations that had to be followed?

Didn't Boris (now officially the biggest idiot leading a western country) invent stories about banana regulations back when he was a columnist?

I'll ask again - who could have seen this coming?

This related article, in which the BBC references newspaper coverage of the 2017 (in costume) wedding of the clown couple from the article baloney posted, maybe needed a more robust segue than "And..." or a dedicated header for the clown wedding story to give a little breathing room between the massacres and guys walking into rivers and apparently drowning.

Or maybe that's just the BBC style, or how life is in NI.

Johnson ‘losing the confidence’ of Tory party after rambling CBI speech

Senior members of his own party said they needed Johnson to get the government back on track after a disastrous two weeks amid dismay about his performance at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) conference, where he lost his place in his speech for about 20 seconds and diverted into a lengthy tangent about Peppa Pig.

So farewell, Kwasi. Your career died so Liz Truss’s might live for at least 15 more minutes
Truss has given one of the worst press conferences in the entire history of the genre, shortly after sending Kwarteng a letter “deeply respect[ing]” his decision to get knifed by her.
