    Brexit off the radar, but...

    ...four and a half years ago, a message from Boris:



    I'm told The Sixteen have just had to fork out around £10,000 in visas, permits and other paperwork for a future European tour.

    To be fair he only lies when he breathes.

        I wonder if they will bump their prices up accordingly?

            Or not take the instrumentalists, as their tools of the trade add to the paperwork and cost and logistical difficulties?

              That’s what they did more or less recently at the Wigmore Hall (social distancing );. They are fine singers but I thought the result just a bit too thin.

                Off the radar but not off the map?

                    Is that where Carrie got the idea re her "refurbishment" of the Downing Street accommodation? Then again private education all has charitable status so it would seem normal business practice to those involved in the museum project?

                      'A Q&A on the museum’s website says both sides of the Brexit debate need to be presented “fairly and in a balanced way” '.

                      Like during the referendum campaign?
                      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                        Balanced as in
                        the prospectus says visitors could be greeted at the door by an image of the former Labour leader Hugh Gaitskell delivering his anti-European Economic Community speech lamenting “the end of a thousand years of history” in 1962.
                        Yeah right, as they say...
