Cutting Brexit would provide the UK Government with £42bn extra a year, at no cost at all. Then you wouldn't have to make any cuts and could spend £20bn.

Started my day by smacking my head into a metal bracket in the basement at work, testing the emergency lighting system. I guess that’s a kind of emergency… 🙄 How was your day?

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Do you remember those days when we laughed at George Dubya and rolled our eyes that America could be dense enough to elect him? (Sighs) Happy days.

There's a concerted effort to have BRITISH Whisky. This means, the UK Government would want 'Scotch" Whisky to become 'British' and made ANYWHERE in the UK. If you think there's nothing insidious in this, you probably laughed at people who had Japanese Cars in the 70s and Mobile Phones in the 80s.

This is true. A pal of mine who is a policeman went to a Scottish island recently to investigate a missing person and when the locals found out he was a Christian they stuck him in a giant human-shaped willow branch construction and burned him alive.
