There are plenty of people in ILX that I can work with, that I do work with. But xyzzzz is a Brexiteer. He cannot be trusted on Brexit. That is abundantly clear.

The UK is a notoriously impoverished country whose ruling class simply can't afford to invest more in handouts charity than it already has. I mean, the fact that you have so many caritative organisations per capita (quite unlike socialist France) is proof positive that Brits are the most generous humans in existence.

Frothy coffee is mine. It’s art.
Receiving his "frothy coffee" in Pontypridd's Prince's cafe, Owen Smith stopped mid-sentence to express some amusement. "I tell you it is the first time I have ever been given little biscuits and a posh cup in here," Smith said, looking up at the owner David Gamberini, as his order was placed on the table. "Seriously, I would have a mug normally," the MP added, examining the refreshments in front of him.
