Wandsworth chap will terrify the EU

"BORIS JOHNSON’s secret Brexit weapon against the EU if elected Prime Minister appears to be his Thatcherite right-hand man, Sir Edward Lister, who will become his chief of staff and has already drawn up a detailed plan for his first 72 hours in Downing Street."https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1154505/brexit-news-boris-johnson-tory-leadership-jeremy-hunt-polls-eu-sir-edward-lister-spt

What happens in hour 73?

Oh please. Not Eddie Lister. Hasn't he been put out to pasture?

"What happens in hour 73?"Just small, tidying-up operations.

I suppose 72hs is what they call "long-term planning".

"I suppose 72hs is what they call "long-term planning"."Yet we managed to carry off Dunkirk with very little long-term planning. And that was the last time when we left Europe, I guess. Mind you, we did have to leave behind about 60,000 vehicles. Of course we did have to fight our way back into Europe on D-Day, and that took a lot of advance planning. Plus a lot of US help.
