A glimmer of common sense then.
Also, Brexit stinks:

Well, the aircraft will be certified, but aren’t there about a hundred other agreements that have to be made before international travel is allowed?
Per an interview by the Portuguese Foreign Minister there have been a bunch of unilateral moves by the EU countries to try and keep stuff going normally on Brexit day. Planes flying between EU countries, British nationals not needing visas, British lorries in EU roads, giving British nationals a year after Brexit to regularize their status, even food inspections will be assumed to be okay, all to try and contain the chaos.
Of course, this containment is probably geared towards the EU side, and no mention of how long such measures will go on for, I’m assuming this will all be temporary.
Thats pretty funny tbf :)
Oh how we laughed at the thought of us sending a Spitfire across the channel
I still get goosebumps looking at that plane though. Its ingrained at this point.
They should paint a pith helmet, redcoat and a set of shackles on the side if they really want to win our former colonies over.

How about if the government just says this is way too big of a mess and “we’re not going to do anything - status quo will be the thing”.
Great, just great. But sure, why not? The entire fucking country seemingly is throwing its hands up in the air and giving up, may as well be sitting in their own filth as well, sure, whatever at this point.
UK needs to change its national anthem.

The UK exports its waste to EU? I guess it’s not so strange considering that Canada does the same with the US but, I mean, there’s like an ocean between them.
Yeah my brother worked in the field. The UK ships a massive amount of waste / recycling to the EU and surprisingly, China.
You crawl over rat infested piles of rotting rubbish to get home and its just as well all thats left to eat is tinned soup because your teeth fell out from scurvy and you sit shivering in your house because we somehow fucked up gas imports next to the corpse of your dead diabetic granny because no one realised we imported coffins and morgue refrigerator parts and you watch The Quiz and try not to think about The Event, which turned out to be Brexit.

Almost everywhere in western Europe shipped it’s recycling to China up until about 12-18 months ago when it stopped being worth anything.
So much doom and gloom guys!
Interesting, yeah my bro left the field two years ago so sounds right. Cheers!
The more incoming Brexit austerity.
It was never “uncertainty” that was keeping investment going in the UK, it was the hope that Brexit wouldn’t happen. Now that hope is dwindling the exodus will gather pace.

Yeah I was just coming to post that. Something to file under, “Who woulda thunk it?”
The Brexiteers are going to have a rude awakening.
No they aren’t.
if anything goes wrong they’ll just blame it on people being wimpish.
