    Doesn't take into account nuclear weapons or navy. I assume it doesn't also care about spying capabilities etc.

    Tbh I still think a country should be judged by how it cares for it's citizens.

    Philip Hammond spells it out - The UK will effectively remain in the EU for the forseeable future

    This is the crux of his argument:

    Philip Hammond has made clear that the Brexit transitional deal that the government is seeking will “look a lot like the status quo” as ministers attempt to minimise the impact on British business.
    They'll fob everyone off by saying they've officially left the customs union and the single market whilst crossing their fingers behind their back.

    BRITAIN is the second most powerful country in the world second only to the US, according to think tank. The think tank being a bunch of Neo Nazies.

    UK to be part of the EU army after Brexit

    The UK will be more a part of the EU army than some countries actually in the EU.

    You command some respect for leading with your chin so regularly when most of your inbred ilk scarcely have one to speak of.

    Keep it up, it lightens the mood.
