    Apparently being in Gulag was classed as employed!

    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..."

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

    This Brexit thingy is great.

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

    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?"
