Still hard to believe that execution squads are roaming the streets of the USA with impunity.
Hopefully, memories of 1930s Germany are longer here in Europe and will therefore prevent contagion.

I expect - as I’m sure you do - that many here won’t get this one.
I do and you’re spot on. 😁
Mind you, why the hyphen?

Tbh I'd forgotten that.
However, the UK would still have to sell a bespoke deal to the EU, and the EU would have to be minded to buy. Would it really, especially against the backdrop of still significant anti-EU sentiment in the UK or more specifically England?

Sure, couldn't agree more. But you shouldn't be beating around the bush either:
As you know only too well, there can be no such thing as "a" customs union (the coy implication being a bespoke one); there is just 'the' Customs Union, take it or leave it.

Indeed, and still there's no courage to say what needs to be said 😒.
Politicians are - or should be - good with words: there'd be ways to drip feed the message; to inch towards spelling it out clearly. But no, not even that.

OK, an exception to prove the rule. And made possible only by adding a sprinkling of rain water (I had to google it and skimmed the information).
The rule is that the Monaco GP is an expensive parade, and not by any reasonable definition anything akin to a 'race'.

Which Monaco GP was not a dull event?
Can well imagine the fun of driving that Lotus there, though.

Yup, brilliant track.
Raced there a few times; once even on the fabulous GP circuit. Well, it would've been fabulous but for the heavy rain that day - couldn't see a thing 😀

Except that Russia is a relative minnow that just happens to have a lot of land, and some nukes … if they’re serviceable.

Yes, there'd be a huge feel-good factor but, sadly, it's not feasible.
There's a reason Canadian market regulations follow those of the much larger market to the south; just like the UK cannot escape its proximity to the EU.

But rather than booing and jeering the public response should be laughter. I suspect that would hit him harder.

How delicious would it be if Mark Carney were to win the 🇨🇦 elections and announce talks to join the EU Customs Union?
The looks on Brexiter faces would simply be priceless.

I have brother in law living in LA. He recently visited UK.
Both his out and return flights LAX/LHR were weirdly empty.
Just a single anecdote but I bet this is symptomatic of UK & EU/USA, too.
Certainly European airlines advertising seats to USA like crazy. Also indicative? Bet it is.
