Well, the fact that half the country's travel arrangements are paralysed by some drones really bodes well for Brexit, doesn't it?

Yup.

(Oh, God.)

[tree_and_leaf]

We're so fucked.

[ewt]

...yup.

[caulkhead]

The widening gyre thing was meant to be a metaphor, dammit.

[nineveh_uk]

I laughed, though with an edge of despair.

*lol-sob*

Not least that it is a problem that could have been addressed by reasonable forward planning and investment.

[perennialanna]

It is an entirely predictable problem that I have been reading warnings about for several years, and as I don't fly and take very little interest in aeroplanes, that means it's hardly Specialist Interest Only.

[nineveh_uk]

Same. Mind you, I was aware that Dover was a port, too, so clearly I am a specialist in everything!

[perennialanna]

I also knew that Canada was having a postal strike, which impressed everyone at work (unfortunately I knew it too late to stop my colleague's son posting a Christmas present to his Canadian girlfriend...).

[caulkhead]

It is more than our Canadian member who keeps complaining that his magazine is late does.

[tree_and_leaf]

Yeah, but that would involve listening to experts! And spending money when you weren't forced to!

[nineveh_uk]

See also trains, investment in snow ploughs, etc. etc. etc.

[tree_and_leaf]

And we know Britain, as a nation, is beyond such socialist nonsense!

[shrewreader]

Too late to demand Ireland adopt you all?

[tree_and_leaf]

That ship sailed several centuries ago, and given how the pro Brexit press and politicians have been whining about Ireland attempting to defend its national interest being somehow unfair and treacherous, it ain't turning round.

[clanwilliam]

On a personal individual level, I'm more than willing, but we don't want the lot of them.

Much mirthless cackling here. *headdesk*
