      Well, hard to say. In general, it bodes well for Brexit but Parliament has already stuck a few road blocks in the way of prorogation (NO, that doesn't have anything to do with roguetech).

      For the UK. it solidifies the government's intent to complete Brexit.

      For the US, if he can manage Brexit, I think we're looking at the beginnings of closer trade relations.

      The world? Eh, not a lot - it's more important to the EU at the moment than the whole world - but it may have repercussions down the line that affect other world powers. We'll see.

        As though we hadn't embarrassed ourselves enough over the last 3 years. Thanks Tory Members for this.

          So, expound a bit, please.
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              The NYT podcast ‘The Daily’ has ‘The Making of Boris Johnson’ 22 July. The good thing about Brexit is that the U.K. is going to be very cheap to visit on holiday. Come see us while it’s still shiny.

                  Well, we’re not quite Gleneagles Hotel, but I think we could do something for you. What dates are you thinking about, how many are you, and do you have any dietary requirements?

                      bacon - crispy, like we used to get before the war.

                        Great. I can’t wait to finally meet you all; then I really will be part of the Tweb family.

                          London hasn't been shiny since the third world invasion, not like when I visited in 75...

                                She's a lesbian - I very seldom see her gay. She's usually moping quite a bit, and often on the verge of tears.
