Thanks to Brexit we could establish a tax regime to attract blockchain and stablecoin. But post-Brexit Bitcoin traders prefer Portugal and Milan because of their tax regime. You do see how this.... makes little sense if you argue for Brexit? /3

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism
in the UK over the past year.
How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard?

One thing that occurred to me about #pluribus was that the responses Carol got on the screen could have been entered by anyone. She didn't get a recorded verbal response from an infected.

Why the BBC handing Reform hours upon hours of unfiltered coverage of their press conferences every single week is so irresponsible
What exactly has been "squandered" about Brexit here and by whom?

Very sad to see this go. I remember a few times checking the seat plan and realising I was about to make a mistake with my seat. TA hadn't invested though, and I had seen some flights I'd booked had seat plans that were completely wrong.

Holy crap.. honestly how did Sky report this so badly.
Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story.
Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done.

Trump denys drawing the "Venus de Minor" for his friend's 50th. One argument is that this isn't Trump's signature, because he knew his friend didn't like girls old enough to have hair there. I think he did it though, cuz I think he'd want Epstein to thank him for knowing his preferences.
