Unemployment in USSR was 0%, because it was made criminal offense to be out of job...

Apparently being in Gulag was classed as employed!

There are many reasons why youth employment is high in Iberian states, not least that leaving home at 18 is not the cultural norm - but the fact is that Spain is growing at 3.2% to UK's 1.6%. (est. 2018)
Let's talk about youth unemployment 5 years from now.

Or we could just talk about it today. From Ed Conway at Sky News:

"Perhaps the most striking story today: UK youth unemployment now down to the lowest level on record (records began in 1992). Yes, still much higher than overall rate (11.3% vs 4%). But shd be good news. More young ppl working means less long-term scarring of labour market..."

You forgot about blue passports and going to Spain but not having Spanish people in your hotel.

Bloody remainers thinking that just cos they are in the EU everything will be anglicised.

Yeah, I forgot losing Gibraltar too, most like Falklands as well.

This Brexit thingy is great.

[WTFH]

Is Brexit worth turning United Kingdom of Great Britain and Norther Ireland into England (minus London and all area around it)?

I guess that would mean that capital would automatically move to Birmingham...

With respect, there's no way that those Northern Irish would abstain...

Perhaps not, but I think there is a group of people who are "Northern Irish" first, and not tied up in the whole "You're either Republican or Unionist, you can't be anything else" nonsense.

Reminds me of the old joke: A Jew walks into a bar on the Falls Road and says "Can I have a pint of Guinness please?"
The barman says "That depends - are you a Catholic or a Protestant",
The Jew replies "I'm neither, I'm Jewish".
The barman says to him, "Sure, but are you a Catholic Jew or a Protestant Jew?"

No need to get bitter because your dreams of leaving were dashed.

I still have my villa in Spain.
