The currency won't crash as a result of triggering article 50, that's already built-in to the price.

So there's going to be a by-election for North Minehead soon. No word yet on whether Mr Hilter will be standing for the National Bocialist party.

Thanks Ants posted:Can I request the Nigel Farage plane-crash currency graph is available for the 29th? I can't seem to find it from looking at the previous threads.  Good news for anyone making new coin trays that go on pool tables or reprogramming vending machines, bad news for supermarkets with lots of trolleys, people using Swazi coins to get cheap parking, and anyone who preferred the better option of a poly note.

It's always seemed weird to me that pound coins are worth counterfeiting these days. Between the raw materials, setup costs, storage and getting them out into circulation the return on investment must be pretty slim.

It's in no small part because the Royal Mint sold a lot of stuff to Swaziland, and the Swazi lilangeni coin uses the exact same planchet as the pound coin.

The sitting of the NI assembly to select a first and deputy first minister has been postponed by mutual agreement, would have yielded zero results anyway. Seems to be a tactic to kick the issue to the other side of the April recess, the secretary of state has a "reasonable time" to make a decision re: election or direct rule but its looking unlikely he'll make that call for a few weeks now

oh we'd have fought afghanistan anyway it had UN approval and everything my guess is that britain would've just stuck its fingers somewhere in the horn of africa thereafter instead, since Somalia caught on fire shortly afterward and that had full UNSC support for intervention too - albeit by the AU, due to a largely distracted west

XMNN posted:lol the sun has gone full fash with its front page today TBF, they don't do any other front page nowadays. Given the headline is about whatsapp and only 29% of their readership is under 34, I'm guessing most readers are going "whatsapp? something that bugs bunny said?" or shaking their head saying "the internet ought to be banned, we had a fireplace to stare at with a book and that was all I needed."

It'd be a real shame if that started an almost American cult of the warrior that would send even more people rightward politically. May it not also be that the cause of civilisation itself will be defended by the skill and devotion of a few thousand airmen? There never has been, I suppose, in all the world, in all the history of war, such an opportunity for youth. The Knights of the Round Table, the Crusaders, all fall back into the past - not only distant but prosaic; these young men, going forth every morn to guard their native land and all that we stand for, holding in their hands these instruments of colossal and shattering power, of whom it may be said that Every morn brought forth a noble chance And every chance brought forth a noble knight, deserve our gratitude, as do all the brave men who, in so many ways and on so many occasions, are ready, and continue ready to give life and all for their native land. -Tony Blair, "Cult of the Warrior"
