UK Bleeding Money

[mandrill]

Brexit could bring about the reign of Charles III, sooner rather than later.

The Queen is dependent on Modena balsamic vinegar to maintain her health. It's very expensive and also an excellent anti-oxidant. The Queen has her own private cask in Modena, the molasses like vinegar cannot be produced in England's temperate climate. What will happen if she runs out?

I believe that 007 has been specially tasked with ensuring that the supply of balsamic vinegar is kept at a safe level. An international crime consortium attempted to interfere with the regular shipment of that specific condiment to Buck House back in 2007, IIRC. Within a week, each member of the consortium was found dead at a different location in central London. Each body had been doused liberally in.... Modena balsamic vinegar.

Since that time, the Modena balsamic vinegar has been supplied to HM without any interruption whatsoever.

OTOH as Jimmy Carr said. If you lose your job to someone who can't speak English, maybe you're shit.

lol but thats not always the case nowadays....you will lose your job or not get the job just because the employer don't want to be called racist....I'm a member of a minority group btw....racism is real but so is virtue signaling...

Is Boris Johnson a good poker player? He has the advantage of governing until 12/29/2024 if he keeps the hardline Brexiteers supporting him. By then Donata, who hates the EU, could be back in power.

John Cleese is 82 now, he currently lives in Santa Barbera, California. I was hoping to find something more recent from him, he's probably too disgusted to comment.

Why do the British have a problem with Polish?

Rafa Nadal and Andy Murray love sweet Polish pastry. She made a George Bubba Jr out of me. Having dropped only four games, currently the favorite to win Indian Wells.

...only three months older than Leylah Fernandez.

To be fair Gordon Brown started the process but Cameron piled on with gusto. At least his buddies made out like thieves, he came out of the Panama Papers smelling of lilacs.

The commoners in London got sick of seeing all the Saudi Wealth ripping up the streets of London.

Considering the City's investment / money laundering industry keeps the post industrial north and Scotland financially solvent, Brits may want to get used to all those historical sites being owned by people who don't speak English.

Boris Johnson isn't an ancien regime type like David Cameron. Lord Cunty was delusional, he didn't really expect to win Brexit Referendum after the service and tax cuts he implemented. He left the more moderate Theresa May in an impossible position with the Briexiteers pulling an Ides of March on her. Boris isn't big on mathematics, how is he going to make the big investments he's promised Northumberland and Scotland with London facing a Lehman Bros? He's borrowing money to invest in Aberdeen's off-shore oil rig industry. What will he do next, sell Kate Ovens to Salman The Butcher?

Can Neil McCoy-Ward be trusted? Howard Stern @ 7:50.

 

[Insidious Von]

I'm actually relieved that Kate Ovens is no longer doing food challenges, she competed against both these dudes. Going to Prague for the piri piri pizza competition vs Steel Rod Radim, did her in.

Wasn't there some Russian influence in the Brexit vote? Like, they started Facebook groups and what not to make people pro-brexit? It's basically fucked their economy for the near term, and who knows how long it'll take to get things back up and running. It's actually kind of hilarious that all these people who voted for it are facing tough economic challenges now.

An English Classic, Wedgewood of Stoke, has been in operation longer than the USA has been a country. It could go bankrupt by 2023.

The Economist is painting a rosy picture on Boris Johnson's economic devolution called leveling up. He's attempting to deliver on the promise he made in the 2019 to Northerners to devolve power to local councils. At the same time he's attempting to create a service economy devoid of immigrants. The future of the Tories is dependent on it. Unfortunately tax revenues are falling, Russian oligarchs and Saudi plutocrat jihadists have no enthusiasm for taxes.Buona fortuna Boruffo.

I'm not certain how much hard fact is in this, if it's half as bad as the description it's still staggering.

I have it on good authority that The Queen's private cask of balsamic is being protected by Largo...when he's not moonlighting as Dr. Supercazzone.

I never understood why it was so important to leave the Single Market? That's like Canada boycotting trade with the USA for a flimsy free trade deal with the PRC.

Odd how the US does not explicitly dictate Canada's immigration policy, we have Gerald to take care of that
The govt of Canada does also not send billions of pounds to the US for the privilege of being in a trade deal

What was supposed be a trade union with the EU morphed into a political union with the decisions made by unelected bruecrates in Brussels

The British people should be far more worried about BoJos energy policies than Brexit
His green energy policies are the real disaster.

Actually no, John. The UK opted out of the EU immigration policy and had its own immigration law right up until the end. Part of the deal was - yes - that citizens of the EU would have free mobility. But that's perceived as being a benefit. One of the recent issues is that the UK can no longer get sufficient menial and manual workers because there is now considerably more paperwork and considerably less incentive for EE's to come and work in the UK.

And yes, the UK helped pay for certain Europe-wide policies and programs. Now that it's no longer a part of Europe, the UK will pay as much or more for these policies and programs to be created and administered nationally.

So what's your point?

Actually Yes. free mobility means no control, which resulted in a flood of "economic refugees

But that's perceived as being a benefit.

by you
your perception is clouded by your ideology

Polish Plumbers are not considered menial and manual labor
The real problem is now the UK is shut of of the energy deals and have to buy in the open market and are getting screwed
This would not have been a problem had Britain not made such a big and foolish bet on unreliable wind energy

And yes, the UK helped pay for certain Europe-wide policies and programs. Now that it's no longer a part of Europe, the UK will pay as much or more for these policies and programs to be created and administered nationally.

Or pay a lot less and have the decisions made by British elected officials instead of unelected bruecrates in Brussels

There is no way in hell Canadians would permit key decisions to be made by a group of paper shufflers in Albany New York

So what's your point?

What part of decisions made by bruecrates in Brussels did you not understand?

And do us all a big favor: lose the baboon picture and use black font
It is a pain in the ass quoting you
