UK government.

With the government we've had for the last 14 years I do have to agree with you. I wouldn't trust the UK at all.

An English government for an English nation, Scots, Welsh and Irish are only there to be used for the needs of London and the Home Counties.

There never has been a trustworthy government in England.

It is a UK government - no idea why you think it is an English government.

I don't know why anyone would think it's a government for anyone but their donors, the 1% and, to a lesser extent (where their interests align almost by accident) their <200k party members. Admittedly the English voter does seem to have greater difficulty recognising this.

Nah, the Danes. They have excellent bacon.

They don’t. They have cheap bacon because they keep to the worse possible animal welfare they can get away with. When we banned practices like gestation crates they continued with them for as long as they could. We - that is the British consumer - didn’t want to pay the higher prices better pig welfare required (well that’s what the supermarkets said) so we beyond decimated our own high quality pig farming with its higher welfare costs to import more cheaper bacon from Denmark with its worse i.e. cheaper animal welfare standards.
 
The best bacon around here is Irish bacon from Lidl (yes, Lidl are everywhere!).

Be grateful that Sunak is steadfastly on watch guarding the country and ready to throw his body valiantly in front of the wheels of [imaginary] EU legislation designed to [in theory] force through 'meat tax' and seven bins.

Brexit checks ‘price you pay for being a sovereign state again’
UK health minister and ardant Brexiter Andrea Leadsom said UK firms should “adapt” to the change in trade rules after new checks were brought in on food, drink and some agricultural products – suggesting they should not buy goods from Europe.

Brexit Anniversary Lies Debunked

"Happy anniversary of shooting yourself in the foot day".
 
Second born found a 2nd hand copy of 9 Lessons in Brexit by Ivan Rogers yesterday. A short but scathing book.
She saw it only because I used to carve"STOP BREXIT" in the pumpkins at Halloween, and so pointed out to me.
Book was published in 2019, so it's all a bit in hindsight.

Even if we take as read that the government was obligated to shoot ourselves in the foot, an RPG was a poor choice of firearm for the job.

If I may notpick, the fuze of an RPG is generally too insensitive to detonate against a mere human. People have survived, if wearing body armour.

I think the ground under our collective foot would probably do the job if our squishy flesh wasn't up to it.
