It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

Britain sent gunboats to defend the island of Jersey. French fishermen were blocking access over post-Brexit fishing paperwork requirements. France sent gunboats of its own in response.

Scotland goes to the polls today. The Scottish Nationalist Party, res ipsa loquitur, is favored to win but not an outright majority in the semi-independent Scottish Parliament. If they do win a majority they will call for another referendum on Scottish independence. Seven years ago Scots voted to remain a part of Great Britain but five years ago they roundly opposed Brexit. Swine BOJO, architect of Brexit, says another independence vote is not going to happen. You going to send gunboats to Scotland too, BOJO, you fucking asshole?
