    I really think you oughtn't to be showing children your enormous, knobbly dome, tbh.

    Definitely.

    There are a few issues with that, Leo:

    The legal:The right to fly over Irish airspace is guaranteed by a treaty to which Ireland is a signatory and which has nothing to do with the EU
    The economic: The damage to Ireland's economy and access to Europe from such a move would be much, much greater than that to the UK's
    The practical: There is literally no means of enforcing this. Ireland's airspace is only guaranteed by the protection offered by the RAF, since Ireland has no air-to-air combat capability and what combat aircraft it has couldn't even reach a commercial airliner, let alone keep up with it. Presumably, Leo envisages that we will maintain our defence of his country's airspace while having our aircraft banned from it?

    Grandstanding fvcking clown.

    I read that on the internet so it must be true.
    If we owned the ground beneath I could theoretically patrol my section of the Northern Line with a shotgun shouting "get orf moi land!" at passing trains.

    The irony of which being that that wouldn't make you the maddest or most threatening man on the Northern Line. You'd barely make the top 10, in fact.

    Did the 1967 Outer Space Treaty not make it clear that it is the province of all mankind? Which may, of course, come as something of a surprise to anything else that may be living out there, but hey.

    Whenever I am forced to travel the Northern Line, I prowl up and down the carriages bellowing into passenger's faces that I have an atom bomb in my pocket and they must pay for having murdered my mother.

    I learned a long time ago there is only ever one nutter on any train so to avoid the nutter on the train, one must simpy be the nutter on the train.
