Brexit!! Yeah, it's a thing now..

Even when they have to admit that they loudly lied, they quietly apologise:

UK minister promises science budget won't be messed with after Brexit

-EDIT-
This from the comments section tickled me:
the government will fully fund UK science and allow them to build their own version of Eu projects - just with 1/28th money and people.

The Little Hadron Collider, with it's thatched roof and magnets collected from fridges by the nation's children will be assembled in Britain and will collide British Hadrons at a sensible speed.

You definitely voted to lose £66 billion a year, May tells Britain

theresa-may-stern-425x265.jpg


THE prime minister has told Britain it knew full well it was voting to shrink its economy between 5 and 10 per cent, so no further debate is required.

Theresa May added that mass unemployment, segregation of population by national origin and a nosediving pound were all “pretty much on the ballot” so parliamentary debate was unnecessary.

She continued: “When the British people overwhelmingly voted for Brexit on June 23, they also voted for a new prime minister and entirely new policies never previously mentioned. That’s just common sense.

“They voted to leave the single market, to accelerate the break-up of the UK, and for the construction of a new royal yacht, so any further consultation would be a slap in their patriotic faces.

“All these whiners claiming they did not necessarily choose to crash our economy and never have a foreign holiday again are a mere 48 to 70 per cent of our population so can be cheerfully ignored.

70-year-old Eleanor Shaw added: “I voted for golliwogs not to be racist anymore. Has that happened yet?”
 
And when some nutjob attacks one of these judges, this rabble-rousing rag will deny having had anything to do with it.

Brexploitation! Microsoft punishes UK

According to El Reg:
Microsoft has reiterated to Azure customers that prices will go up by 22 per cent from January 1st.

The problem? The price rise is far greater than any exchange rate post-Brexit fluctuations might justify. Microsoft’s biggest European data centre is in Dublin, a member of the Euro currency. The Euro hovered around €1.28 to one pound for the first six months of the year, before crashing after Brexit. It’s now €1.19, a depreciation of just 9 cents, or 7 per cent.

The value of the British pound has weakened more dramatically against the US dollar, dropping by 18.9 per cent since 24 June - the day after Brits voted to leave the EU.

For new Office or Azure cloud customers in the UK, no exchange rate can justify any price rise at all. In September, Microsoft made Azure available in UK data centres.

Another wee gem from all of this is that Rupert Murdoch's papers unanimously promoting Brexit and subsequent devaluation of the quid looks to have saved him nearly £3bn with his Sky takeover.

Although I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Duh! Agreeing to be bound by EU rules after exit is not exiting.
If the UK doesn't like the terms of ext then they can exit without an agreement and leave any disputes to the Navy to settle.

Looks as though the UN agreement is a factor:

As far as I can see, the issue is one of the amount fished rather than who's doing the fishing. The UK sells licences to foreign fishing companies for access to UK fishing grounds, which could be just as easily sold to UK fishing companies or boats.

But they won't because it's easy money. None of this would have changed if we'd voted to remain, it has to be said.

As far as the Navy patrolling these waters goes... Err no. We've not had an effective capability to do that since the early 90s at least. Too many miles, not enough vessels. Of the warships we have, most don't work properly.
