We really should do something to recognise 'Daniel Hannan Day' e.g. Self-flagellation and Morris Dancing.
geoffreyharris.bsky.social Geoffrey Harris @geoffreyharris.bsky.social · Jan 11
Barely more than 6 months now until we all get to celebrate Daniel Hannan day!
What Britain looks like after Brexit Daniel Hannan Jun 21, 2016 "It’s 24 June, 2025, and Britain is marking its annual Independence Day celebration. As the fireworks stream through the summer sky, still not quite dark, we wonder why it took us so long to leave. The years that followed the 2016 referendum didn’t just reinvigorate our economy, our democracy and our liberty. They improved relations with our neighbours. The United Kingdom is now the region’s foremost knowledge-based economy. We lead the world in biotech, law, education, the audio-visual sector, financial services and software. New industries, from 3D printing to driverless cars, have sprung up around the country. Older industries, too, have revived as energy prices have fallen back to global levels: steel, cement, paper, plastics and ceramics producers have become competitive again." "Now, the UK has again become a centre for world shipping. Shale oil and gas came on tap, almost providentially, just as the North Sea reserves were depleting, with most of the infrastructure already in place. Outside the EU, we have been able to augment this bonanza by buying cheap Chinese solar panels. In consequence, our fuel bills have tumbled, boosting productivity, increasing household incomes and stimulating the entire economy. During the first 12 months after the vote, Britain confirmed with the various countries that have trade deals with the EU that the same deals would continue. It also used that time to agree much more liberal terms with those states which had run up against EU protectionism, including India, China and Australia. These new treaties came into effect shortly after independence. Britain, like the EFTA countries, now combines global free trade with full participation in EU markets. Our universities are flourishing, taking the world’s brightest students and, where appropriate, charging accordingly. Their revenues, in consequence, are rising, while they continue to collaborate with research centres in Europe and around the world." "Unsurprisingly, several other European countries have opted to copy Britain’s deal with the EU, based as it is upon a common market rather than a common government. Some of these countries were drawn from EFTA (Norway, Switzerland and Iceland are all bringing their arrangements into line with ours). Some came from further afield (Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine). Some followed us out of the EU (Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands). The United Kingdom now leads a 22-state bloc that forms a free trade area with the EU, but remains outside its political structures. For their part, the EU 24 have continued to push ahead with economic, military and political amalgamation. They now have a common police force and army, a pan-European income tax and a harmonised system of social security. These developments have prompted referendums in three other EU states on whether to copy Britain. Perhaps the greatest benefit, though, is not easy to quantify. Britain has recovered its self-belief. As we left the EU, we straightened our backs, looked about us, and realised that we were still a nation to be reckoned with: the world’s fifth economy and fourth military power, one of five members on the UN Security Council and a leading member of the G7 and the Commonwealth. We recalled, too, that we were the world’s leading exporter of soft power"

Foolishly re downloaded X / Twitter / hellscape. Cov twitter is an utterly depressing place.

Very enjoyable day at the CBS on Boxing Day. Would it be too much to ask for same again tomorrow? 🤞🏻

Please sack Dean Austin. This performance was reminiscent of the Slade days.

We should be 3 up here, inevitably will concede first. #pusb

Typical of our season, the blame doesn’t lie with Lampard and nor did it Robins. The issue has been our recruitment and that lies with Dean Austin. Genuinely baffling that Doug wants to build the clubs recruitment around him. He is clueless.

Nice to see we are actually a top four side, hopefully our luck will turn / we start actually defending. #pusb

Worried Sheaf has had his head turned, doesn’t look interested at the moment. #pusb

Just about happy with that, 3 points were probably there for the taking but seeing Wilder fuming is incredibly satisfying.

Need the sky sports accounts to move over to Bluesky so I can still watch clips of *insert any sport* while on the go

Thought I’d processed the Robins sacking, but seeing him get his doctorate has made me realise I am still not okay. #pusb

Appointing Lampard over RVN, will undo the little bit of good will Doug built up from the fans forum. Still holding out hope that the sources are wrong 🙏🏼

Would love Carsley, especially over the other names mentioned. Has developed young players before and has a local connection. Bring on #Carsball
