Having a monarchy and not being a member of the EU seems to work out for Norway, so I think Brexit should just be louder and angrier. And every time Prince Andrew is not in frame, everybody should ask "Where's Prince Andrew?".

If labour is gonna win the next election they gotta studiously avoid falling into the scotland trap, or the next election will just be a shitshow about labour trying to break up the UK.

If you feel bad about having to turn on scotland remember that all this is actually all their fault. If they had voted for independence it would have destroyed cameron and the tories and there wouldnt have been a brexit.

Poor little England, dragged out of the EU by the perfidious Highland barbarians. :-(

I grew up in a city with a few thousand Brits due to military bases. I have never met anyBrit who spoke any language other than English.

In fact, that's probably the easiest way to distinguish American from Britisih tourists. Americans usually attempt to pepper in at least a few non-English words.

this is strange to us in UK - teachers are paid more in London than elsewhere because living costs are higher in the capital. what gives?

Berlin is different than other European capitals and teacher remuneration is state dependant. Also, in Berlin teachers are public employees while in other German states they are "Beamte", which has a lot of knock-on effects with regard to remuneration.

It’s slightly frustrating as many regions in France have had relatively low numbers of new cases compared to the UK. The short notice can’t be helped but the confusing message from the government has meant people have continued to go on holiday abroad.

IIRC three major Jewish newspapers as well as the Board of Deputies of British Jews (which seems to be the major Jewish representative organisation in the UK) came out publically in calling Jeremy Corbyn out as anti-semitic.

That probably helped convince a lot of people.

Do they have another brand name outside the Netherlands (similar to how Pocky isn't Pocky in some countries)?

Because I remember buying something with the same overall design and colours, but I am pretty sure it wasn't called Tony's Chocolonely.

Literally everything about consumer banking in Germany sucks and is laughably outdated. It's honestly baffling, and you can't really experience how bad it is unless you've previously lived somewhere else and then move here, like I did.

Like, mobile banking apps are JUST NOW getting decent. People still use those paper slips to make transfers. You have to PRINT OUT your account history because it only goes back digitally about 6 months. There are still account plans that make you pay for every transfer. There are now "free" accounts which CHARGE YOU TO TAKE OUT MONEY after like the 3rd time a month.

In fact, YOU PAY 5 EUROS EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO TAKE OUT CASH FROM AN ATM THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOUR BANK.

I could go on. It's bad.

Sounds like you made an extremely bad choice when picking your original bank, because Germany is littered with ATMs of Genossenschaftsbanken and Sparkassen respectively, so you should never be in a position where you actually have to take money from a out-of-network ATM. And that is before other fee-free ATMs or stuff like getting your money at the supermarket.

i like how prince andrew was the trade envoy for ages, with people making snide remarks how he wasn’t really qualified for such a task. well little did we know what he was probably doing for queen and country

Please do not disrespect Prince Andrew. He is a war hero that has seen so much combat that his bady hardened body has become unable to sweat.

England clearly is the Bad Rats of countries.

Oddly enough the British press isn't reporting this as much as it should, but the United Kingdom and the BBC jointly made it to this year's Simon Wiesenthal Center Global Anti-Semitism Top Ten 2021 even without Jeremy Corbyn. Right behind Iran and Hamas even.

I'm sure Keir Starmer will take notice of this any minute now.

I read on twitter it only applies if you are PM for 8 weeks or longer. lol.

Maybe that timer only stops once a successor has been formally appointed by the King, so she might still get. Although her missing it by like one day would be a good closing content for the truss fire.
