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

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 ?!

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.

It's just a habit... bbc.com/news/business-46382722
