“This country is f–ked” - senior Tory

Ich habe meine B1 Prüfung in sechs Monaten, errrr was meinst du? Du hast keine Angst?

Probably that was just as wrong as you. I nearly have the Lingoda B2 certificate, but I don't think I would pass the real B2. Getting there though. Die Grammatik ist wirklich ein Alptraum.

My Missus, fluent in English, German and Russian (and I mean fluent) rates them as Hard, Middling and Hard in grammar respectively.

I can vouch for Russian grammar being hard from Uni, and going to German grammar after that is fairly easy, but I have no use for it, so forget as soon as I've learnt any of it. (We watch German movies, not that kind, nice ones!)

How do you know she's fluent in Russian if you're not? What's her native language?

I'll be heir 8 years 6 months before March 2018... photo finish. And I get dual citizenship whilst the UK is a member.

It has been a right pain on for the whole family. Although there's assurances we've been advised to prepare for the worst, so passport route it is.

Na ja, ungefähr 28 Jahre. Hab schon die einbürgerungstest gemacht mit ein stolze 32 Punkte....unne, unne, obbe, obbe, unne, obbe, schobbe klobbe, um de kopp, an de kopp, in de kopp...

That's cheating.

Dialect. Obviously.

Nah - so in 5 years time when next GE comes around what will have happened

1) Brexit will be 3 years in the past (at least)
2) The UK economy will not have tanked.
3) Orwell's Animal Farm will have got back on the GCSE curriculum and people will understand that 'For the many, not the few' can also be written as 'All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others'
4) The students who voted labour will now have jobs and be voting tory.
5) The reduction in immigration will lead to a reduction in labour voters

Anything I have missed?

Corbyn will be 73 at the GE, and 78 by the close of that parliament. Unlikely we will vote in a PM who could be a liability ....

Vince Cable will be older.

Next the Tories will vote in Ken Clark or similar....
