This most stupid part of the whole Brexit madness is, we knew, millions of us knew, it would be a disaster, on multiple fronts, not just economic. Those who still pander to the “it was a democratic decision”, are blind and should not be in politics.
Will we be the “ poor man of Europe” again.

Britain can't have sustainable growth without Rejoining the EU.

When Rachel Reeves looks to the budget, perhaps she forgot that Brexit costs us £140 bn pa.

#Brexit threats.

A quick Google reveals Seneca the younger described a German gladiator who committed suicide in a latrine by using the sponge stick to block his own throat,
😬🤢
(You'd think there were easier ways really)

Classical historians such as Seneca and Martial wrote about it, I believe. Not sure if there is any physical evidence of sticks with sponges on from any finds records though.

Also there are occasional relaxed hours for neurodivergent or disabled folks with AV etc. mostly turned off and lighting levels raised. I think the last one had tickets for £1.
