    Nigel Farage called for British ambassadors to be sacked if they were not practising Brexit believers. Readers of Tim Shipman’s All Out War will also be aware of Michael Gove’s desire to end the power of the Cabinet Secretary, Sir Jeremy Heywood.

    Our self-serving politicians and their “obedient servants” appear to be betraying our diplomats.

    How does that help Britain?

    It fully applies to today’s Britain, I fear.

    Didn't something similar happen to the Roman empire too?
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    There was a bunch of criminals who were "letting" non-existent luxury flats, using photographs from other estate agents.  
    But how exactly do you "let" a flat that doesn't exist???

    You'd think they'd want to see them first if they were going to live in them -or perhaps they weren't.

    From what I recall, these criminals created a London Letting Agency online, using photographs of luxury flats, which they had taken from other companies.  They dealt with customers via email or the phone.  When the clients arrived to view "the flat", they were told builders were there, so they couldn't visit but the builders would be completing the work by next week.  However, several people were after the same flat, so if they wanted to secure it, they would have to make the necessary payments (London prices!!) there and then. 

    Clearer I hope!

    Brexit: Endgame - The $20 Trillion Secret, with Stephen Fry



    How will wealthy Brexiters profit from Brexit? The surprising truth about      the world's most secretive tax network for the wealthy.

    I suspect even Stephen Fry hadn't imagined that Nero Trump was able to dictate to the UK government who its diplomats must be.

    Of course, the behaviour of Bojo isn't a surprise.....

    Well, the Donald (along with his mate Putin and his British "friends") told us to vote Brexit and we obeyed, so removing an ambassador with just a couple of tweets wasn't, perhaps, a much greater shock.

    I dare not imagine what he might do with our NHS and any trade terms when we are weak and isolated by Brexit.
