When you live your life in a blissful boozy haze as I do, there are few things that really bother you - especially politics.

But when Jack told me beer prices might go up because of this Brex thingy it suddenly woke me from my slumber and spurred me into action.

I mean, why should Flo, and Chalkie, have to fork out more for my pints and kebabs just so we can all have blue passports and stuff?

A bloke in my local once told me we are heading down the pan if we get a no-deal wotsit but I just though they meant that new pub in the high street (Jack’s beer is a bit naff at times). Now I know why he was looking so worried after that yellowhammer fella spilled the beans.

As for our new PM, well, he’s just another posh bloke who doesn’t give a toff about working class folk like you and me. Eric at the bookies told me Boris wotsisname’s old Eton pals are hoping to make a mint shorting the pound on the back of a no-deal malarkey. I’ve no idea what that means but I get the feeling the rest of us will be left short of pounds.

Me n Flo never discuss politics. To be fair it’s quite hard to bring it up while she’s bellowing at me for being drunk or accusing me of spending too much time with my pigeons.

As for that protest I took part in against the Brex thingy, I’ve got to be honest.. I don’t remember much about it. It came after a long lunchtime session.
