They could, but one of their key interests is not swearing loyalty to the Crown. And they still do constituency work, they just don't show up at the big British building for controlling bits of Ireland from Britain.

Actually the Sinners do book rooms in Westminster for their constituency business as required. They just don't sit in the Commons.

Danske Bank bought Northern Bank a while back, Northern Bank is one of several here who prints their own notes (Bank of Ireland, First Trust and Ulster Bank are others) so Danske Bank inherited that and just swapped the logos

The best notes are the new 2019 Ulster Bank polymer range that use vertical designs

It's an extremely precarious situation, not just because the grant awardees will not know what is going on, but because these grants employ PhD students, Postdocs, engineers, technicians etc. Many of whom are EU and we have no idea if those people will automatically be able to stay in the UK either.

They will be handled like Russians treated German rocket scientists, ie. taken to captivity at a remote research site.

It's definitely him, hence why this is basically his only article in the past 3 years that isn't ranting about Corbyn being an anti-Semite in a desperate bid to lower his popularity.

Hey Medical goons, my wife and I currently live in the NL and we're seriously looking at moving to the UK. (yeah, great timing I know)

Medical question for the UK. The wife is on Lorazepam mandated by a psychiatrist here as a necessity for severe anxiety during sleeping that causes self destructive tendencies (she gets non stop intrusive thoughts without it and massive Insomnia)

Does anyone know if that'll be allowed in the UK since she has a medical history a mile long from Europe. Or will they be like "nope, we don't do that here"

For any questions like this, you'll want to check up on NICE

That basically says whether GPs are allowed to do it or not - it's then a case of talking to a GP and hoping they're not a prick about it

This confused me so much when I worked in a tourist attraction on the west coast of Scotland (many people came straight from NI on their British isles tour). Took some getting used to taking danske bank money, often 50s as well.

I've still only seen a hundred (Scottish) note once in the wild, at a casino where a guy proceeded to lose five of them in about ten minutes on the roulette lol
