Mogg = Jacob Rees-Mogg, a living caricature of a privileged Tory toff who is a leading hard line Brexiterr.
Tory zealots view Singapore as a viable economic model for Britain.
North Korea I guess refers to the restrictive immigration policy (?)

I get the references, it's the syntax I need help with.  100% out North Korea come Singapore? :unsure:
I think he means a hard Brexit resulting in a "North Korea-cum-Singapore" state.... I think.

Cum is Latin for "with".

From yesterday's protest:

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I maybe wrong but I think megaphones/bull horns are banned for demonstrations going through Westminster.  Besides these people are far too polite and restrained to resort to such crudities to get their point across.  :bowler:

The knives are really out for May now and that's from just her own party.

See, this is a general problem I have with the Right be it pro-Brexit English, or Trumpists or whatever. All they are offering is a world where the strong is allowed to be mean and nasty to the weak. What kind of vision of future is that? Are people really having it so bad that this is a genuinely attractive proposal? Or they just don't realise that almost all of them fall in the weak category, i.e. somebody that would end up being abused one way or the other?

FWIW, the Spanish president has just confirmed that there's an agreement for post-Brexit Gibraltar, although it's contingent on an overall Brexit deal happening.
