Hoy Lionel A, or anybody that knows.
I briefly wondered something and maybe has know. What country sorta owns Gilbraltrar and Falklands. Is it England, Wales, Scotland? Guessing not NI. I’m only curious cuz if the union does break up, where do these places end up. Cheers. And a strictly and obviously hypothetical afterthought on the same lines. Let’s assume a union breakup happened in 1980. Which of Scotland, England, or Wales ( sorry NI again) gets the Hong Kong lease thingie? And I’ve got some vague idea of some Caribbean places that might be owned by UK too, but don’t really know for sure. Oh and what’s that base in the middle of some ocean that UK owns has but they fucked off all the locals and rented it to the yanks. Garcia or something it’s called.

England is only one part of the Union that joined the EU. That even a president fails on that is disappointing. Although if the worst scenario for a Brexit pans out then I can see that the British union will splinter, the Union flag and the White Ensign will be consigned to museums. That is patriotism for you, or rather false patriotism which equates to nationalism.

WRT climate change these nationalistic tendencies are the last thing humanity needs in order to deal with this problem as well as that other horseman of the apocalypse — pollution in all its varied forms. Varied from despoliation of land and water during extraction and lack of sensible disposal once used for whatever.

Laughter in the fucking dark, mate.

Something else I read in some comments somewhere today, after the shambles. Someone suggested perhaps a fix the UK government was to switch it off and then on again. And someone replied to them that they just shutdown the USA government and can’t seem to be able to turn it on again!
Bwahahahahahaha.
I really really hope someone compiles a volume of Brexit hilarity at some stage.

“Raab is currently polling somewhere between third and fifth to become next Tory leader, according to ESRC and ConHome surveys. He may struggle to get ahead of Boris Johnson, but judging by the content of his speech, his real goal could be to become chancellor.

Jebus Fucking Crist I feel like I’m living on bastard Pluto…..”

And halfway across the planet I’m laughing out loud at this beautiful display of agitated
language. No one does this genre better than UK mob I reckon. It’s funny, now I think of it, a whole lot of top drawer UK and Irish comedy is based on agitation. Alf Garnett damn near shoves agitation in a needle and sticks it his arm and becomes one with it. And that’s why he’s so funny! It’s a damn strange thing to find funny, but it most assuredly is. I will look for the Dinner masterpiece to illustrate. Nicholls kicks arse in it. Here we go…

It’s a shit way to die, starvation.
I wonder about the Fourth Estate sometimes. Oh look, someone’s sent a suspicious package to Robert De Niro.

Could get a bit tight on the nuclear medicine supply front for em.
I don’t think anyone of em will starve.
But hey, since start of year to present, 9 months, 25100000 people have starved to death and it hasn’t made the paper once. Not once. How bout your paper Greg? That’s what, roughly same death rate as caused by WW2 maybe? So if a few English humans die of starvation, it’s not likely to be noticed by anyone. No one gives a shit. Oh look the football’s on…
