I assumed all the names was just a British thing. My Brit ex-gf had extra names in her name.
Come to think of it, though, she was from Somerset and her family was some kind of posh thing there, so maybe it’s a local upper-crust tradition.
It’s not just a British thing. Most people in the Netherlands have multiple names as well. I have four names (three official ones and one I use in regular life).
It is actually. We all have extensive multiple names, mine for instance is
Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim bus stop F’tang F’tang Olé Biscuit barrel
(but it’s pronounced Throatwabbler Mangrove)
If you translate it, it’s actually Hungarian…
“It’s not Latvian. It’s backwards.”

Now that England isn’t in the EU, why would Norway bother giving them fishing rights? It’s be like throwing your own money away.
The quoted government response should be taught in schools as a classic non-response.

This is sad and shows just how bad people were maliciously misinformed and taken advantage of.
Bring on the sentimental piano music. Look, I think Brexit is a pretty terrible idea, but if you work in an export dependent business and some vague promise of sovereignity and a bus were all it took to convince you to sever ties with your biggest export market, maybe you should have done some due diligence before casting your vote on such a decisive issue.

They have responsibility for being fucking idiots and not thinking any of this obvious shit through. Can’t really find much see sympathy here. Here’s your stupid prize, congrats.

Irish truck drivers avoid Wales on their way to EU. UK’s second busiest port only half full.
