    Disaster tourism is pretty weird.

    Only abolished in 1948 in the United Kingdom but the last flogging in a UK prison was in 1962.

    The UK wants to be more akin to the USA so much so there is now talk among Tory MPs to use the Brexit opportunity to bring back hanging.

    Trump, May and Erdoğan have a lot in common.

    More highlights

    Any poorer divorcees are expected to pay their spouses maintenance and move out of the marital home despite their ex partner having 27 other partners and 10 times the earnings.

    Another highlight is when the tour operators get sent a bill of £100 Billion for future needs of other tourists but aren't allowed on the Golf Club.

    Missed opportunity, could have used the £350m to our NHS bus instead - just cut off the roof.

    luckily there are reciprocal arrangements.

    We voted to leave a federal Europe we were being dragged into without our consent. Our leader is fairly intelligent & normal.

    They elected a Nutter who wants to turn back the tide of cleaners crossing the border and gave him the Nuclear football.
