One of the chief reasons for serfs voting for Brexit has been their desire for a return to 'the good old days'.I don't know when those good old days were, but I am sure they existed. I asked my dad who is 87, and he can't remember when they were either. They must have been a long time ago.

Fortunately, the toddler was theirs, so they were obviously grateful for her return. They offered me ...
I was speaking to someone today who said, correctly, that the 'deficit' was coming down. He was wondering what affect Brexit would have on it. It gets a bit confusing as whilst the deficit is coming down, debt is still around 85% of GDP.
In the terms of a Layman, the deficit is the annual amount the government has to borrow to meet the shortfall between current receipts (tax) and government spending. National debt or public sector net ...
