I had some blood drawn a couple weeks ago. My nurse had a Union Jack lapel pin, so asked her about it. She said it was going to be a huge clusterfuck and would renew problems with Northern Ireland, but so far I havent seen anything in the news. I imagine its because a lot of things are supposed to be phased in and havent really happened. Isnt the U.K. on the hook for billions owed to the EU, did the English Trump agree to pay or is he blowing them off like he said?
