When will we learn (not us, our political class)?

The EU have rejected a proposed special arrangement on a 'single market' for goods with the UK, suggesting instead the UK should join one of the existing arrangements for non-members.

Once again, our Govt., our negotiators, our political class don't seem to be hearing the message... the UK can no longer expect any special treatment.

We pissed in our chips & seem to be the last people to see this!

Well, I'm thrilled! As far as I know, this is the first instance of a copy of my #book being bought thanks to talking about it on Mastodon!
Now, who fancies being the second?

"Like Douglas Adams for the #Brexit age on acid"

Features cheeky digs at our government & former PM, UK working conditions and treatment of OAPs. All with endless ham baguettes, snarling black dogs and occasional and unexpected useage of the word "anus".
