Then we can all see the countdown to freedom.

A Halloween count down clock ,with Thatcher Hovering over on her Broomstick ,Waiting for the midnight hour , telling us we are all doomed

[jourdain2]

gulliver1 - but at midnight (our time) begins 'All Saint's Day' - much celebrated everywhere. A day for remembering and moving forward - doom and gloom don't come into it. In UK it is especially a time of celebration -'For all the saints' etc.. Quite an auspicious day really.

21.27 , Yes at midnight ,your time .After Thatcher has hovered on her Drone /Broom stick, it will then be ,"The Day of the Dead", or all Saints day and Maggie was no Saint.

I had no intention of turning the Halloween thing into the "Thatcher is a witch" trope. Was meant to be just lighthearted banter. Do wish gulliver hadn't hijacked it.

In any case: no. If you want a Brexit countdown clock I don't see why AB should be the place to provide it.

Will this wind be so mighty as to lay low the mountains of the Earth?

It wouldn't have been so bad had it been a sensible or witty hijack. But, after all, it was gulliver.

How about a Boris countdown clock ?

By the way, did Boris give Gove a job ?

[jim360]

Made him Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, so that Govey can sit in Cabinet. Might have some Brexit-related responsibilities.

[tonyav]

By the way, did Boris give Gove a job ?

Yes, he's on the war cabinet

Gove and Javid are part of a new “war cabinet” of six key ministers to deliver Brexit by 31 October “by any means necessary”.

Realised there was a small mistake in my previous post, I mean: "Do wish gulliver hadn't hijacked it...............................................................

What ?
After Gove had stabbed him in the back?

[jim360]

After all of the other people Johnson put to the sword, yes, it's rather a surprise, but there we are.

// Why is this in news? // umm
and not in Jokes (me)
umm ( for it is she) - well it is not funny

me:: well it is funny how Big Boris went around wivviz £350m a week returns for the NHS and now has collected a 2 bn reserve to combat an event that he said would be a big payer

umm - what ARE you on about? [ he never said no soch ting etc etc ]

[Peter Pedant]

Gove brought the ju-ju down on dear Boris when he said - oh Frack British Industry,
Gove stabbed him in the side as he had already stabbed someone in the back and then a second in the front ....

and Boris dear Boris has just failed to nominate Osborne for president of the IMF because ... he forgot.

o god help us all

[jim360]

Johnson's apparent forgetfulness at nominating George Osborne for the IMF role is probably the first good thing he's done.

[Khandro]

The rumour on the street (Downing) is that George Osborne is being seriously considered for the post of the new Governor of the Bank of England.
