They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care; They pursued it with forks and hope; They threatened its life with a railway-share; They charmed it with smiles and soap.

"It's the way ya tell it"

Pulse fishing is a Dutch invention and only the Dutch like it.

It's a drop in the ocean. Pocket money. Besides, it's already been banned.

Brexit negotiators are “finalizing” the deal in the hope that it will close today as it approaches a compromise on the delicate issues of fisheries in the UK’s waters. .. Reduced to a catch equivalent to £ 60 million.
Putting that number in the context, midfielder Paul Pogba moved from Juventus to Manchester United in 2016, well below £ 89m, a record for players moving to England’s top flight. It is a transfer

Now the EU can ban and unban it as much as they want. The same goes about live exports.

looking back, Nigel Farage timed his Faragus interruptus to a tee.

On the night of the Brexit referendum the British pound went into free fall, but while many watched with horror, a handful of hedge funds were making staggering profits. This is the story of the Brexit Big Short. Featuring Bloomberg writers Cam Simpson, Gavin Finch, and Kit Chellel.

They don't tell you that on the BBC.

We have defamation laws in the UK. Not so much in the US. As a long-time subscriber to National Enquirer you must know that. (I think that the Duchess of Cambridge is on her 27th pregnancy now. You don't see that on the BBC either!)

I didn't know that. 
What about the EU? Do they have extradition agreements with UK.


Anyways, Everton beat LIverpool today.

The term "BREXIT" is like certain parts of science; people use the term without knowing what it means, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

“Grandpa, what killed off the dinosaurs?”

“Some say it was a meteorite.”

“I heard it was a virus.”

“Oh, you mean that dinosaur.”
