Brexit divorce deal

[Dinner]

They artificially cap the number of reps in the house. All it would take it a bill passing Congress to fix that.

[pchang]

The UK has 650 MPs for about 66 million people. The US uses only 435 congressmen for about 326 million people. With modern travel and electronics, maybe the US should increase the number of congressmen to get better representation.

[Dauphin]

She has made survival a high art. Its either that or the job is so bad right now that no one else really wants it.

The Brexit Ferry company with no boats apparently has some great Ts and Cs. They had copied and pasted them from a template of a pizza delivery service.....

In order to ensure that, in case of a no deal Brexit, the supply of the british isle across the channel with food and other necessary freight is secured,
the department of transport of the british government has given a 14 mio GBP contract to a freight company that has no ships and never has transported any freight ...
a freight company that intend to operate its service from a british port, that most likely doesn't have the necessary facilities to handle freight movement of the dimensions that are planned

Sounds like typical conservative graft.

They have managed so far according to the terms as agreed to by their lenders.
