Anyways I wonder will Leo pass the holy water on to Boris that was given to him by Fr. Gibbons yesterday in Knock.

Ultimately however, the means of communicating the request is up to the procedures of the member state. The EU will merely care whether they have received what is in their eyes a formal request or not.

It shows you what a mob mentality is existing in the UK now, nothing can be ruled out. These people are totally nuts and they are going to fuel extremists the way that they are carrying on. We've saw Laura Kuenssberg also seemingly try and direct and assemble a mob towards a sick childs father recently as well. They are whipping up hate and conflict and are enjoying it too.

Yep IT is right on and full of support for the immigrants and the Travellers for example. But it is dismissed by many for the rubbish that it is. The Indo is full of carp most of the time too, Tabloid really, and most stuff is behind a login now. Not that we are missing much anyway.

Very few extremists writing for them and they tend to save opinion pieces for the Sunday editions only. The English dailies are propaganda sheets and will think nothing of openly lying to and misleading their readers (except in the area of libelling and slandering individual people, where they have to be cautious because of the law).
