    When are you guys gonna realise that it's not even the breast that holds the left and right political wings apart it's the small brain in the head that calls the shots and that little group controls "everything"!

    I prefer this version:

    God save the queen, the fascist regime
    They made you a moron, potential H-bomb
    God save the queen, she ain't no human being
    There is no future in England's dreaming
    Don't be told what you want, don't be told what you need
    There's no future, no future, no future for you

    God save the queen, we mean it man
    We love our queen, God saves

    God save the queen, cause tourists are money
    And our figurehead is not what she seems
    Oh, God save history, God save your mad parade
    Oh, Lord, God have mercy, all crimes are paid
    When there's no future, how can there be sin
    We're the flowers in the dustbin
    We're the poison in your human machine
    We're the future, your future

    God save the queen, we mean it man
    We love our queen, God saves
    God save the queen, we mean it man
    And there is no future in England's dreaming
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    For me (and many other Britons), self determination is always the real issue.

    Fair enough but - unless they take back ownership and control of their own (British) money system it will never happen. - (and it wasn't stolen - they gave it away!)

    The EU have just announced an 80% reduction in alcohol abuse and consumption of class A drugs.

    ??? The UK kept control of its own money system and never changed to the Euro.

    Yes, the pound/pence stayed as the primary currency. No one is obliged to accept Euros, but some do... which is about the only real difference between the euro and any other currency in that you usually have to exchange 'em before you can spend 'em. From memory Denmark and Czechoslovakia kept their currencies too, and I'm pretty sure there's at least another 2 or 3 other countries who did the same.
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    The Brits were told by their politicians that alternative trade agreements would be promptly forthcoming following Brexit. No problem they said.

    To get a trade agreement with Europe, an urgent requirement, they need the agreement of all 27 EU nations. It seems now the Greeks have a precondition: they want the Elgin marbles returned to Greece before they discuss trade. Boris didn't see that one coming.

    The Brit politicians were also talking up an American trade deal. Wait until they come up against Trump's 'America first' policy.

    They're going to need to be very creative to explain the unanticipated difficulties as they arise.

    Do you think the Greek economy puts them in any position to negotiate?

    Especially when doing so will put them in direct opposition to Germany whose major industries rely on British trade?

    As for Trump - you've omitted the part were Trump has said after Boris win that he was looking forward to a trade deal with Britain...
