Play It Again, Sam - I think not! (and by the way what's your take home pay? Austerity - clearly it's not for everyone!)

Brexit - Is it a tragedy (think Aeschylus, Sophocles or Euripides) or a comedy (think Aristophanes. Menander and Philemon)? Probably both. And all so predicable...

Getting it right doesn't always feel good!
Food is everything. From the soil, to the water, to the people who produce it.
It deserves some respect. #ZeroHunger https://t.co/zOZQ0qSFK2 https://twitter.com/FAO/status/1069167041033265153

The Track of the Month is Brainstorm's Maybe
Leading up to the #brexit vote on 11th Dec, it seems there are 4 potential outcomes:
1. Vote approved, transition exhausts and we get stuck in the backstop.
2. Vote approved, then move to something closer, e.g. Norway.
3. Vote fails, gridlock, no-deal
4. Vote fails, no Brexit.
Confused about Brexit and #MeaningfulVote ?!

So there was a big protest today by schoolkids who blew off school and marched in the streets over government inaction on climate change.
The Prime Minister has said they should be less activist and focus on their schooling instead.
I just saw this sign. These kids are great.
Deutsche Bank headquarters raided over money laundering
Again.
In 2016 alone, more than 900 customers were served by a Deutsche Bank subsidiary registered in the British Virgin Islands, generating a volume of €311m, the prosecutors allege.
In 2017, Deutsche Bank was fined $630m (£504m) by US and UK regulators in connection with a Russian money laundering plan. Under the scheme, clients illegally moved $10bn out of Russia.
