Topic: Sting Sings to the Queen. Happy 92 Birthday to the Queen of ALL England, Other places not so much
Syntax started this discussion 8 years ago #74,519
This Map is what Great Britain looked like when the Queen was born - Now it has shrunk much like the Willi becky favors.Reminds me the other day Green, was not pleased with my reply about the horrid drip of Pound vs Eu re Brexit and replied that did not count because what now counts is a modest tiny rise of Pound to US Dollar - Which is true - Alas Present day UK does not buy all that much from USA and Buys a LOT; A Huge amount of stuff from the Eu.
I also discovered while doing extensive research with Google n Wikipedia that the Queen has a 2nd Birthday in June for some odd reason. Apparently it was once important for a Birthday of Queens reign over Planet Earth which of course now is Not so Much.

Brexit will hit Britain’s overseas territories hard – why is no one talking about it?
We have heard a lot about Gibraltor. Here are the problems facing Britain's 13 other overseas territories

Hilites
Gibraltar, the only territory that is also part of the EU. It is facing well documented issues such as a possible closed border with neighbouring Spain and losing the right to provide services such as finance and online gambling to the rest of the EU.
AND THE OTHERS ( The 14 British overseas territories (OTs)) are remnants of empire LOLOLOL "Brexit implies that the current aid programmes will probably be the last for these and the other OTs – they will not be eligible when the next round of contracts comes on stream from 2021."
