It's going to be mayhem in Kent.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
I wonder if people are starting to understand why borders work the way they do on the continent? And why no one wants them.
well thats one way to avoid trucks piling up on the M20 i suppose - just don't let them on to start with - typical gove
Dont forget the health insurance, international drivers licence, 4 months notice to take a pet and roaming charges on your phone ... but hey our uplands are going to be so sunny who is going to want to go to europe anyway

They still won't understand until January. Over four years of explaining has not penetrated the Brexit mind.

I stayed an extra week. Still here and considering it.
c'mon we all know in January (despite calais and rotterdam functioning perfectly well) it will be the EU's fault
Yes amongst other things - also most lorries that cross the Channel are not British but if they're going to be stuck in endless queues would they even bother, time is money , they don't want their lorries and drivers stuck in the UK doing nothing.
If Johnson plays the dirty, you can see the customs on this side of the channel will stop every single British lorry and search it from top to bottom and go through the paperwork with a fine toothcomb.
Kent voted for it.
Give unto the Kents what is Kent!
It's already good. Ignore the Project Fear crap and start waving those plastic flags wooooooooo!!!
I'm still amazed that so many people were fooled into helping tax dodgers at the expense of ruining their own lives.
Can you imagine if in 2016 before the Brexit vote the British public were told that there would be a hard border, policed, around Kent.
Would the "will of the people" have been the same?

'Border round Kent? fecking ridiculous project fear nonsense'
Brexiteers won't admit it but the Remain campaigns biggest failing was underestimating just how stupid the whole enterprise was. The predictions of project fear look tame compared to the reality.
it was never going to be anything other than the very worst of very very bad ideas. Ever.
Cameron, the PM who will forever be remembered as the man whose SECOND stupidest idea was to stick his old fella in a dead pig's mouth.
Remember all those Project Fear muppets saying that all the Brexit billionaires who threatened to move elsewhere if we stayed in the EU would move their money overseas anyway? Well.........shit.

is there a graph that shows continued COVID 19 impact AND no deal Brexit cos that’s where we’re headed.
I know it’s a bit of fun but currently you could argue there are independent movements for Scotland, Wales, Norther Ireland, Yorkshire, Cornwall and now Kent. I vaguely remember London being talked about as well!
Libertarians must be over the moon!
No surprise that the headline on the Beeb site is the distraction piece about Boris "misspeaking" about North East covid restrictions.
No Tory rebels then
London shows the absurdity of the likes of Scotland complaint that they didn’t vote for Brexit. Far bigger population, far bigger economy - but that’s democracy.
Except Scotland is a Nation but I take your point.
I get that point as well.
You don't see the issue with a country that were told to remain in the UK because they were promised that their voices would be heard and that we were better together having a problem with all of that turning out to be shite?
We are better together (in my opinion). I have some empathy of course. However, I also believe that times change, and arguments made at the time when we were debating devolution also change. Not only Brexit, but Scotland’s reliance on North Sea oil as an example.
I also think it’s treading old ground, and time to move on. I understand lots of people feel differently, but I’m not here to argue that, and it’s been argued to death over the past 3 years - and its not a debate I will get into.
The irony of broadly the same Brexiters who argued that the UK were better alone (from the EU) also argued that Scotland would be silly to leave a larger union always seems to get lost.

I mean....this is true but also slightly ironic that many of the people north of the border (and many south of the border who support it) who rightly criticise Brexit, its processes, its voters, its divineness, its lack of plan before the referendum, its difficulty in tearing two very closely linked units asunder....are also often the ones who are keen on Scottish independence, a country far more intertwined to the UK and for far longer than the UK was with the EU.
God only knows what the plan would be there to detach central banks, military forces, governmental debt, currencies, borders, peoples etc etc.
And I say this as someone who hates Brexit, is sick of the Tories and would probably seriously think of voting for independence from the UK if I lived in Scotland (sometimes the heart wants what the heart wants)!
Scottish independence is an even more stupid idea than Brexit. And that’s saying something.
Not sure why comparisons about Scottish Independence and Brexit are suddenly being made, considering the point that started the discussion was that there's a difference between London and Scotland voting for Brexit mainly because the Scots were promised not to be ignored by Westminster during the Scottish Independence referendum and that we were indeed "Better Together".
For what its worth, I'd build a moat around the M25 and tell the rest of you to do one.
I like living in my little (or large!) ethnically diverse, outward thinking bubble. Little England has ruined that for me. And at this point, I don't care if that makes me a liberal metropolitan elite!
Maybe we need a federal system. The Jock State sounds like a really catchy name.For what its worth, I'd build a moat around the M25 and tell the rest of you to do one.
