“ I thought that I would finally see if it's true what happens to men there when they age...”

Disregarding the issues of sample size and selection (a case of a convenience sample if I ever saw one), what was the null hypothesis?

I guess that will actually generate some jobs, which may otherwise be in short supply...

Depends who gets the jobs. It will be great if they don’t go to Eastern Europeans like they did before Brexit.

Maybe they prefer the dole. It pays better.

Strawberry fields forever? It's very difficult to find good plumbers, electricians and shrubbers these days!

At least you're not planning to put us in concentration camps!

Who do those Scottish judges think they are? Trying to tell the English what to do...

But, no worries, the English government decided to ignore the ruling of “politically biased” Scottish judges.

There are thousands and thousands of jokes about Brexit, and the same one is being recycled. Come on, you can do better!

Nice try. But the person shouting "Order! Order!" Is a friend of Brussels so he'll be fine despite the chaos he has encouraged.

BTW is Belgium on that map? I am told I've been a few times but I don't recall. It doesn't have any personality to remember.
