For a germophobe, he appears to be aiming somewhere with a very high germ count...

Especially if arranged in cooperation with the local church...

Don't solicit for your sister, that's not nice, Unless you get a good percentage of her price.

I am never forget the day my first book is published. Every chapter I stole from somewhere else. Index I copy from old Vladivostok telephone directory. This book was sensational! Pravda - well, Pravda said: perzhnavisk. It stinks. But Izvestia! Izvestia said: parachnavor. It stinks...

Probably not - but pretty impressive given the fairly modest number of combatants.

What do they write in Greece?

The White House chose the opposite approach. Give criminal records to those who have "served" in it/on the team. (Though I have to ask if it has had any impact on diversity levels there? It sometimes feels as if the entire administration is white and criminal.) Donald Trump: 'worst hour' for...

Which, for anyone familiar with traditional plate pies, is so obvious that you wouldn't even think to mention it. (Slightly different, perhaps, if your view of pies is meat pie in an oblong pie dish with rounded corners, shepherd's or cottage pie, piragi, or whatever. :) ) Just why anyone would...

£350 million for the NHS. :):):) To help with the increased costs to the NHS of medicines, staff, etc., etc., due to brexit. Still leaving it massively worse off, I am sure, not resulting in an increase in effective funding.

UK and EU to enter ‘continuous’ talks to resolve Brexit deadlock Brexit secretary Dominic Raab acknowledges final-stage negotiations need to speed up https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/aug/21/uk-and-eu-to-enter-continuous-talks-to-resolve-brexit-deadlock

Pie chart is from at least 1922. When was maths dumbed down?

If it weren't for brexit, I suspect a lot of the rest of the UK population would have been quite relaxed about it. No real borders so who cares whether the virtual border is at the coast or some miles down the road? Certainly it would affect the political map a bit but with several pseudo-MPs...

More a case of replication and waste: Companies face an extra 20 billion pounds ($27 billion) a year in costs to comply with the customs arrangement if there is a no-deal Brexit, Britain’s most senior tax official said on Tuesday.

Home to Aston Martin. :) Aston Martin's factory in Wales is on track for production to start next year

We will spend countless billions on replicating for just the UK what already exists for the whole EU - e.g. in terms of standards agencies, medicine approvals, management of imports and exports, and goodness knows what else.

That is a statement not an explantation as to why an EU army is something you disagree with. I can see some possible advantages and some possible disadvantages of having such an army, many of which are highly contingent on what is actually meant by an EU army.

That really is a question that has rarely been answered other than by saying things about the clutches of the EU.

We might have lots to discuss or argue about, but your points re this poll are good. As an ardent remainer, I most certainly am utterly bored with the whole brexit thing. Continues to appear that at least some people are going down the "well, we've almost left, no changing it now" route. With...

And this consequence of brexit: NHS unprepared for no-deal Brexit, leaked letter warns Letter highlights risk of drug shortages and spread of disease https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/aug/21/nhs-leak-warns-of-brexit-drug-shortages-and-disease-risk Perhaps it won't happen - but I...

Yes - very realistic. And if your suggestion of the UK running to rejoin is even suspected[1], that realism will make very sure that trade deals will not readily be concluded even if wanted. [1] How could any country fail to ask whether this is possible or likely? They are not idiots.
