    I thought that we would be bombing Brussels by now or eating our young because of the EU blockade but so far absolutely sod all has happened.

    Maybe there will be terrible ructions in the time to come, but I have a nasty feeling that both sides will settle down with a few crates of Jean Claude Juncker's breakfast cognac and agree that not very much will change and that the reason that there is a traffic jam at Dover with a 20 mile tail back is because their is always a traffic jam at Dover with a 20 mile tail back.

    ....and Maidstone...so much for "digital" motorways....M20 is a joke at the moment....maybe all the Bulgarian, Hungarian, Lavtian, Romanian etc etc lorries will disappear so we can actually drive on it again.

    I think the Belgians would quite like Brussels bombed as it's a bit of a dog hole...give them the chance to rebuild it with some proper parks, walks and a decent city center...anyway...errmmm....I'm beginning to sound like Bill Bryson...

    That would be the best scenario. The thing is that all these politicians and business bigwigs have had years to prepare for BREXIT and the consequences thereof; and thus one would hope that -- even if only behind the scenes -- they've gotten together and said, "Okay here's how we are going to avoid kicking off a world wide economic depression or some sort of war." But then again I am generally loath to give any of those people credit for either foresight or common sense.

    I had rather hoped that we could use Brexit as an excuse to invade France and steal the women, move onto Belgium and confiscate their breweries and then leave the Germans to run things. But I imagine that would be too intelligent an approach for our politicians.

    And London is a major French city so we already have the women.

    Looks easier than I though. All we really need do is invade Belgium and steal the breweries.
