Tell your friend it could be worse; he could be living in the land of the free with a cognitively challenged President who has just staged a rushed, humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan following a two-decade unsuccessful war against the cavemen from Quest for Fire, and now the Taliban and al-Qaeda are right back where they were the day the towers fell with the added bonus of millions of dollarsworth of weaponry with which then can make further mayhem
and oh, there's the fact that Muslims have learned that the most important takeaway from 9/11 is not “Don’t mass-murder Americans,” but rather “Just yell ‘Islamophobia’ and you can get away with anything.”
'Take the case of Fadel Alkilani, a Muslim student at Washington University in St. Louis. He spent the 9/11 anniversary defacing a memorial of 3,000 American flags dedicated to those who perished. Alkilani was caught on video stuffing the flags into trash bags (rather hypocritical behaviour for a guy whose faith calls for the death penalty for anyone who farts while holding a Koran); he responded that he was destroying the monument because honouring the victims was “imperialist.”
And when the university’s chancellor initially condemned the memorial’s desecration, the garbage-bag ghazi screamed “Islamophobia,” and the Washington University Muslim Students Association screamed “Islamophobia,” and the school’s Students for Black and Palestinian Liberation and Middle Eastern and North African Association screamed “Islamophobia,” and the chancellor backed down. Alkilani will face no disciplinary action.'
and all you have to worry about is toilet paper & baked beans.

// Strange expression.//
Perhaps it is a common expression north of the border. Being there is a shortage of teeth and suchlike after the consumption of so many fried mars bars. (^_*)
I see now that the Scots who voted for Brexit only did so because they though that the English ( or Welsh)wouldn't .... Come on, does that make the result better or what. :))

The idea that brexit was in anyway inevitable as suggested by new judge is wrong... the vote was very very close and could easily have gone the other way on an equally tiny margin. There was nothing inevitable about the vote to leave.
Brexit is not the root cause of the driver shortage but it is quite obvious to anyone who looks at it honestly that Brexit has made the situation signifucantly worse... we're going to have this argument a thousand more times though... Half the country will never accept that they made a mistake, and so all of us will pay for it for years to come.

I never suggested it was inevitable. I said its seeds had been planted long ago. It could have been avoided by the concerted efforts and some concessions by politicians (on both sides of the Channel). But those efforts were not made and the concessions were not forthcoming. This was mainly because neither gaggle of politicos believed in their wildest dreams that the UK electorate would vote to leave and even if they did, the result (in keeping with the EU's usual philosophy) could be simply brushed aside.

Had the vote taken place a week or two earlier or later the result could well have been different... and only a tiny minority considered the EU an important issue prior to the referendum:

it simply isn't true that Brexit was the culmination of some long process... Cameron called it as a cynical short-term political move and got outwitted by a cabal of charlatans who swindled just enough of the public to win...
