To be honest, the pound didn't crash enough to justify that increased price. This isn't Germany post Versailles.

I'm sure there was also a giant spike in "gently caress! I've got to get out of this country even if it's only for a few days!" as well.

Farage is very entertaining from a distance. He's like an Austin Powers villain: cartoonishly evil, and hilariously incompetent.

Wasn't he gloating how they won "without a single bullet fired" or something? Despite that MP being shot and killed literally a week ago by some UKIP voting nut? That's some heinous poo poo man, not even Dr. Evil would be that crass.

Cornwall backs Brexit then asks to be allowed to keep its EU funding

Cornwall pleaded with the government to step in to fill the gap to be left by EU funding after the county decisively voted for Brexit.

The county, which has suffered economically since the collapse of the mining industry, relies heavily on subisidies from Brussels. It is believed to have received more than €650million from 2007 to 2013 in EU funding to help develop infrastructure, broadband and universities. But that didn't stop Cornish voters backing Brexit by a majority of 56 per cent in the EU referendum.

Council leader John Pollard has now appealed to the British government for protection amid fears Brussels subsidies have been put in jeopardy. He said: “Now that we know the UK will be leaving the EU we will be taking urgent steps to ensure that the UK Government protects Cornwall’s position in any negotiations. “We will be insisting that Cornwall receives investment equal to that provided by the EU programme which has averaged £60million per year over the last 10 years.”

UK people realizing just how much they depend on the EU in a bunch of different ways is going to continue to be hilarious, and I hope people in the US take a good look at this and decide to maybe not vote for Trump.

Small joys. As an EU citizen living in England this has not been a happy time :smithicide:
The links to other stories on that site are amazing. "Vote Leave plane flies over Jo Cox birthday memorial service as husband gives speech,""British holidaymakers are having problems exchanging money already," "Parliament to consider debate for second EU referendum as 100,000 back petition," "UK votes to leave EU sending pound into catastrophic freefall," "Young people are livid older generations ‘disinherited’ them by leaving the EU," "Nicola Sturgeon ‘to prepare for new Scottish independence referendum.’" My favorite is "Man who voted for Leave says he thought his vote ‘wouldn’t count’ and is now ‘worried.’"

Snake gets lost in endless tunnel of skin after shedding malfunction

quote:

Employees at an Australian reptile exhibit said they had never seen anything like it – a Stimson’s Python managed to get trapped in its own shedding skin, forming an endless, circular tunnel.

Caretakers at the Alice Springs Reptile Centre explained to confused visitors on Facebook that the snake had somehow managed to “shed completely within itself with its tail finishing inside its ‘sloughed (shedded) mouth’!”

Poor “Stimmy” traveled for hours, trapped inside its own skin, before finally breaking out through an exit hole in the side.

The snake emerged unharmed, if a little tired from the marathon escape, leaving a perfect steering wheel-shaped length of skin behind.
