Unfair - immigrants going to Germany are fussy.

[original PM]

You'll be fine. You have already run away to Germany. Angela will look after you, as long as you are prepared to rent your spare room and your arse out to a refugee!

FTFY

[shaunbhoy]

Echt!

"USA is going insular with "America First", the UK has voted for isolation and a backwards looking "Little England".

Lead the world?

This is the blind leading the blind down the pan. "

Well slavery is still pretty rife

In a single country — India, which is the worst offender — there are currently 18 and a half million slaves. To put that into perspective, there are six and a half million more slaves in India right now than were imported to North America, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean Islands combined during the entire history of the transatlantic slave trade — 373 years, from Columbus’s discovery of the Americas to the end of the Civil War.

Won't happen after Brexit.

Modern slavery includes bonded labour.

Have some conversations with some Bobs and you will find out some of them are in what appears to be bonded labour.

It was incredible that they managed to abolish slavery, the compensation was a bribe to the owners to allow them to do it. It nearly didn't happen. No that isn't fair.

Many other countries carried on with Slavery for decades Nutters such as Daesh are still into it.

Does this mean that architecture will improve? Please say it is so.

I for one am looking forward to the construction of some iconic bridges. And what's not to love about travelling by steam train?

Note; owners such as Barclays were compensated but not the slaves.

May's trade plan

Good to see Ireland labelled Britain.

After Brexit we set sail for America, says May

After Brexit we set sail for America, says May
17-01-17


THERESA May told Britain today that once a clean Brexit is achieved, Britain will weigh anchor and sail across the Atlantic to the New World.

The prime minister outlined her plan to cut all ties with the continent including geographical ones, leaving Britain free to roam the world with impunity.

She continued: “We cannot hold on to bits of European membership, apart from free trade, bank passporting and a few others, so to continue being physically linked to it is more than Britain can bear.

“In March 2019, once clean Brexit has been achieved and the EU’s population instructed not to even look at us without permission, Britain’s vast sails will be erected and we depart for America dragging the Chunnel behind us.

“And if America proves inhospitable then perhaps Australia or Africa or simply a merry life of piracy on the high seas.

“Oh, and Ireland’s coming with us as a hostage.

Lead the world in what?

If only Auf Wiedersehen, Pet was still on TV. I hear Trump is looking for brickies.

It's a bit like Spain and France saying we can lead the world again

UK & US, look behind you, it's done, get over it.
