1. Everyone gets crazy ideas that we pass off after thinking for a second. We don’t usually write about it in a book and we certainly don’t write misleading articles about it.

2. >The extract says the deputy chief of the defence staff (military strategy and operations), Lieutenant General Doug Chalmers, told the prime minister the plan was “certainly feasible”, using rigid inflatable boats to navigate Dutch canals.

   >But the senior officer said it would not be possible to do this undetected, with lockdowns meaning the authorities might observe the raid, meaning the UK would “have to explain why we are effectively invading a long-standing Nato ally”.

   >The former PM admitted: “Of course, I knew he was right, and I secretly agreed with what they all thought but did not want to say aloud: that the whole thing was nuts.”

   So the only reason he didn’t do it was because it would have been detected?! It is genuinely unbelievable how long this man led the United Kingdom

3. I mean, I can’t quite remember but was this the COVID vaccine that was “ours” (bought, paid and allocated) but the EU where trying to keep for themselves?

   Honestly, the whole fucking world went nuts during COVID……it’s just Johnson was nuts beforehand and continued to be nuts after

4. After reading this story I had the strangest mental image of Boris Johnson, in a WalMart quality raft, at the bow like George Washington crossing the Delaware and leading a raiding force consisting of attendees to one of his lockdown parties

   I wish I could paint because I think it could be a masterpiece.
