They follow a religion made up by Henry VIII so he could marry anyone he fancied.

I mean, at least they ditched the Pope at the same time, but how can they take themselves seriously when they are so wilfully taking part in an ancient King's sexcapades?

Are you implying that Henry VIII is still sleeping around?

It's very unclear who he's talking about, Sister. The Queen? I doubt that she can be bothered at her age. Her feckless and mostly divorced and remarried/married-to-divorcees descendants? Or the Godless Brits generally? Because it is certainly untrue to say this of the British:

They follow a religion made up by Henry VIII

Last year, fewer than 750,000 of them (out of a population of over 65 million) went anywhere near that church, unless they wanted a fancy backdrop for their wedding photos.

I think, in fact, that Britain might be ripe for a Landover mission - if only we can work out when the rainy season ends.

That's an interesting reaction, Didymus. But I don't understand it. Why should it inspire you to sigh, when those very mildly affected by it - the Godless British and their hated Europeon enemies - remain entirely unconcerned?

Re: Brexit

I think it's worth celebrating that in around 50 minutes from now - at 5 pm, Freehold time, Britain will finally be freed from the Europeon yoke. They had to wake up the 94-year-old Queen after midnight to get her to sign off on the paperwork, but she's a game old girl and was happy to oblige.

Technically, Britain leaves at midnight on 31st December. But the Europeons insisted on this being done at midnight in Brussels (famous for its foul green vegetables), not realizing that the hour's time difference meant that this would release the British an hour early! Boris Johnson wins again!

Score for Britain - now officially Great again! I never thought they'd actually manage it but it seems the past 5 years of internal wrangling were worth it and the plucky Brits can peacefully enjoy their sovereign nation under Queen Elizabeth II long may she reign.

Re: Brexit

An early benefit has been the removal of Northern Ireland from customs-free trade with the Great Britain part of the now Disunited Kingdom of GB and NI. If they wish to order, for example, a freshly shot haggis from a Scottish supplier, it will now sit in a customs shed in Belfast, ripening nicely, for months on end.

Now now Joanna, nobody eats fresh haggis so that is a non-issue. The rest is just details to be worked out later by bureaucrats, like 80% of the UK's economy. Should be a breeze.

1. Does the deal include financial services?

From Jan. 1, U.K.-based financial institutions lose automatic access to the EU’s single market.

The sides will continue discussing how to move forward on granting equivalence and pledged to codify a framework for regulatory cooperation.

Re: Brexit

Since leaving the EU just last week, the British have flexed their new global influence over the trade deal between Europe and China. As an unelected representative of a third country, everyone will appreciate the words of Lord Patten, Baron of Barnes and former governor of Hong Kong. Perhaps a former Duchess or some Earls could assist in some way, if they can be spared from duties.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...g-kong-arrests

As international criticism mounted, the last British governor of Hong Kong has told the EU not to go ahead with an economic deal with China.

“If this deal goes ahead it will make a mockery of Europe’s ambitions to be taken seriously as a global political and economic player."

“It is surely inconceivable that the European parliament can support the miserable draft deal that the European commission wants to sign with Beijing."

Poor old Chris Patten. He was in charge of organising the conservative victory in the 1992 election, but in the process lost his own parliamentary seat. That's why he was sent to Hong Kong - a prime example of what the British call "FILTH" - Failed In London, Try Hong kong. The most interesting thing about him is that he is married to a woman called Lavender.

Re: Brexit

The economic data is in. Exports to the EU are down slightly since leaving the EU COVID-19. British President Boris Johnson is set to encourage higher consumption of local fare such as whisky, cheese, chocolate, beef, animal feed, mutton and breakfast cereal. Isn't that what they over there call a "Full English Breakfast"?

Apart from the chocolate, that's pretty much a Scotch Haggis Breakfast, Brother Dr. Toole, Sir. Interesting about the mutton, though. Nobody in Britain has seen mutton in the shops since World War Two, thank goodness (it is not mentioned in the KJV), and the export figures explain why. I assume the Greeks and Bulgars have been eating it.

Nor horse meat, I'm sure.
