The best part is that the rightward lurch of the Continent and a blowhard like BoreJo, plus Donny Dodger's cowardice, gives us the best chance we've had since '45 for another European war.
I wish.

What appears to be about to happen is that the United States are on the cusp of losing their hard won, long time occupied Pacific empire.

My wife's part Polish and so is the (bloody beautiful) accountant in the office next to mine.

Well that's it, then. That settles it. We'd better not end EU free movement of people and stop all these Poles flooding into Britain and replacing our very own Welsh as the second-most spoken language because your wife is Polish!

Scandalous that 17.4 million Britons didn't think of that when they voted Leave.

I'm 1/4 Welsh too but they skiddadled when the skidaddling was good and most of the rest of them perished on the Western Front.

I'm sure BoreJo will ensure the supply of Polish hookers.

I'm an eighth Manx on my father's side.



English

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins,
As we forgive those who sin against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory,
now and for ever.

Amen.

Manx

Ayr ain t'ayns niau,
casherick dy row dt'ennym;
dy jig dty reeriaght;
dt'aigney dy row jeant,
er y thalloo, myr te ayns niau.
Cur dooin nyn arran jiu as gagh laa.
As leih dooin nyn loghtyn,
myr ta shin leih dauesyn ta jannoo loghtyn nyn oi.
As ny leeid shin ayns miolaght;
agh livrey shin veih olk.
Son lhiat's y reeriaght,
y phooar, as y ghloyr,
son dy bragh as dy bragh

Amen.

Yeah. My great-grandfather came from th'Isle of Man.

He got mustard gassed by the Hun in the Great War.

You're probably as British as I am.
I'm probably more British than you are, genetically. My mother's line has been here a long, long time and I consider myself to be a native of this vast and beautiful country.
