Crazy as hell, ain't it?

@jolly said in Meanwhile, in the U.K....: bemoaning the fact that subsidies were going to be severely curtailed for many U.K. farm products. Maybe they can use the much-vaunted gazillions of dollars they saved leaving the EU, because that's where the subsidies came from.

Ring up the Wuhan Batboys, I'm sure they owe Joe a favor...Maybe they conjure up another pandemic for him. Nice if they provide a vaccine this time, though...
