this has always been one of the selling points of britain, ifind, when i go abroad., "we love your books because they're so english and the sense of humour in them is so english." nobody can ever really define what they mean by this, but they say it. yet actually, in my books, i have moved away from satirical humour, i think. i wrote a novel a couple of decades ago called what a carve up, which was a savage attack on thatcherism and the politics of the 1980s. rather naively at the time, i thought people would read this book and smack their brows and say, "i've been wrong about thatcherism all this time!" satire can make a difference. here is a quote for you, armando iannucci, a great writer of comic film and fiction, he said this recently. he said, "any attempt to present a fictional version of today's events would never be as crazy as the real thing. the truth in washington, london or moscow is much more demented than fiction." and that represents a crisis for comedy writers. yes, i think that is true. particularly in the case of the kind of comedy that armando deal

to answer your question directly, yes, ifind myself baffled by some terminology around brexit andi byuch every waking hour breathing brexit. it is a challenge, communicating some of those terms. i am hearing this jungle communicating some of those terms. i am hearing thisjungle ofjargon that we have assembled on the subject of brexit and the complications around it. every second sentence complications around it. every second sentence some complications around it. every second sentence some terminology is used that is a real struggle to understand. let's be honest, when you have that kind of terminology it is baffling and occasionally a smidgen boring. today we run a supercharged mission to explain. brexit has turned out to be a rather messy business, full of words, sayings and jargon bandied around. but when we boil it all down, do we know what on earth most of it means? what is the backstop? what was in the prime minister's withdrawal deal? and away from westminster, how much of a grasp do people have of it? i have been to luton market to find out. it's very frustrating because you a

ifind it hard wonder that they were not in it for themselves. top all the way down, just because there was a certain level of chaos, and because these people were in it for themselves. it is true, a number of people, who works freelancing off the back of the president and making money, so the back of the president and making money, so it is not unbelievable that they didn't know what was going on in the campaign. that is by the way i knew twitter handle coming up, one in the first phase! 35 years ago. 35 years ago, ronald reagan unveiled an ambitious project to fund and build a space—based anti—missile system. the program was dubbed "star wars." back then it was ridiculed by congress. the plan was so costly and it required advanced technological systems that didn't exist yet. but technology has moved on. and today at the pentagon, president trump has returned to that same missile defence strategy — once again it will focus on space. no—one needs reminding of the threat. north korea and iran are advancing in ballistic missile production, russia a
