The example he used was silly but the general point is valid and it's a big issue with our negotiating position.

Call me crazy... but I don't think the UK's Fish and Chip exports are very high.

I am quite confident in saying it's very much an internal market.
But Fish and Chips are big news!  They're in all the (yesterday's) papers!

I suspect there'll be much salt. And loads of vinegar too.

What is this heresy? Salt and sauce, you fool.

Next thing, you'll be suggesting mayonnaise..!

Mayonnaise is nice!

... but not with a chippy, you are correct.

My lunch while at school was a bag of chips with copious amounts of salt, from a chippy up the high street. A betrayal of the highest order, as a friend's uncle owned the one across the road from the one I went to all the time. Ah well...

Scotland and Wales get their say in Brexit Supreme Court appeal.

Ok I would find it INCREDIBLY fascinating if Brexit was considered unconstitutional because Scotland and Wales themselves didn't vote leave as a whole and because they are direct allies they cannot be forced to leave.

Wales voted to leave, Nor'n Ireland voted to stay.

But they have separate stuff going through the courts anyway.

Plus, the referendum was advisory anyway.

As I understand it the Scottish Veto is fairly unlikely to happen. Although it is unfamiliar legal waters.

It'd be funny though.

1) Scotland: "We want independence"
2) UK: "No, just no"
3) Brexit happens
4) Scotland veto Brexit.
5) UK grants Scotland independence by means of kicking them out of UK

What the fuck MSH, is this all your fault?

Did you break reality and let in the gibbering non-euclidean horrors from outside the all, again?

Can we blame you for 2016 now?
