And outside the EU will undoubtedly continue to be low for a very long time, possibly permanently.

Brexit loses us our key attraction for receiving FDI.
.
that's why I think we'll rejoin at a later date when the smoke is cleared.

I see that Prince William has become as bigger knob as his brother. What’s all that clobber he’s wearing in Pakistan about? He looks like a bloody fool. What’s wrong with a dark pinstriped suit, stout brogues and a bowler hat?

..What and look like a typical DUP Orangeman. I thought Royalty was above politics.

I suppose it depends on who you want to look a fool to,

In a dark pinstriped suit, stout brogues and a bowler hat, he'd have looked a fool to the locals, and a lot of us too.

Can't beat a white pith helmet, scarlet tunic, jodhpurs and shiny knee length boots and carry a fly whisk to arouse happy memories in the locals
Oh! perhaps not, eh?
You'd make a right Boris of yourself! :cool:

"Captain, I have a Brilliant plan" said Baldrick
"Oh yes, not another one" said Blackadder wearily

"Well you know this border down the Irish sea." began Baldrick
"Oh Dear lets have it then" said the Captain wearily
"Its simple really" Began Baldrick
"Put it down the sea on the FAR SIDE of Ireland!

By Jove, that's the obvious solution! :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

(This plan may need a few nips and tucks here and there such as a referendum)

I think its wonderful he is embracing a culture as diverse and wonderful as this.

We could learn a lot them if we opened our hearts and minds as Prince William and queen Catherine have.

I think it’s an unnecessary demonstration of difference and division. Why don’t people just wear their usual clothes no matter where they are in the world. There is no need to dress up in the local gear when you visit different country. It’s foolish.

I have no idea what an Orange Man is. Is it a person who’s had a spray on suntan? A bit like that celebrity antiques dealer bloke?

You've got a point. The Pakistanis don't even dress in our local clobber when they come to live here. Not even after several decades!

I disagree and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels embarrassed and shamed that queen Catherine isn't wearing a full burka to show respect to her hosts.
