UK Space Agency?!?!

Two blokes sat next to fax machine.




hahahaha.

Ironically we were once a leader in the field, just as we were with aircraft. Rocket programs designed in the UK and tested in Australia.

Time and again though expertise has been sold out to other countries or the free market and suddenly nothing left but middle management demanding solutions they've no idea how to implement or what it takes to make work.

Bad news for ex-pats

Thousands of Britons living in the EU will have their UK bank accounts closed by the end of the year because of the UK’s failure to agree a post-Brexit trade deal.

Lloyds, Barclays and Coutts have informed retail and business customers that they will lose their accounts before or when the Brexit transition period ends on 31 December and more banks are expected to follow suit.


Lloyds Banking Group, which includes Halifax and Bank of Scotland, has contacted its 13,000 customers in the Netherlands, Slovakia, Germany, Ireland and Portugal, warning them they must make alternative arrangements as the bank is no longer allowed to offer services.

A spokesperson said: “We have written to a small number of customers living in affected EU countries to let them know that due to the UK’s exit from the EU, regrettably we will no longer be able to provide them with some UK-based banking services.

A leaked letter reveals that Boris Johnson's government fears that its Brexit plans will cause chaos at British ports with motorway queues of up to 7,000 lorries at the Dover-Calais border.

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Michael Gove wrote to British businesses warning that in a worst-case scenario, up to 70% of British truckers face being stopped when they reach the European Union due to not having the correct paperwork, should Britain leave the Brexit transition period without a trade deal.

In years when the UK wheat harvest is low, imports from France & Germany (along with Canada) are used to make good the shortfall. Estimates are that this year's harvest, affected as it was by various weather extremes at crucial points, will be significantly down on the mean.

Bread riots ahoy?

" For too long tradition and common sense have been marginalised by an illiberal elite, whose supposedly progressive ideology has degenerated into a collective mental malady. This treatise describes the virulent spread of 'woke' group-think as moralitis - a cultural virus. Robert Oulds and Niall McCrae show how and why we must protect society from the social justice agitators of subversive identity politics, and reverse their long march through the institutions. Treatment and prevention of this disease is crucial to reviving the Enlightenment values of liberty, reason and truth. Consider this book as an antidote "

err yes, but there's rather a large chasm in quality, standards and ethics of journalism, between (say) the BBC and the Express.
And if you're too thick and ignorant to understand why that is so, then STFU.
