    All the souvenir tat will come in from China, hitting balance of payments
    All London's serving staff, house-cleaners etc. will come in from the EE, sending their wages back home
    All the securidee preparations will make travel in London a 'mare and divert more peeps to Schipol to avoid the cavity searches
    All the laydees will be gossiping about it, so office/shop floor productivity will slump
    The Met's bizzies will milk overtime to the nth degree, costing muggins the taxpayer a bomb
    The Condems are bound to use the diversion to slip through some draconian tax rises

    All in all, it'll be a net cost of ££ BILLIONS. The while thing a confounded nuisance.

    U.K. Support Sought for Ireland Bailout
    European finance ministers working on an international aid package for Ireland want the U.K. to make bilateral loans to Dublin as part of a larger aid package that could total up to €100 billion ($135 billion) and include credit from the euro zone and International Monetary Fund, according to people familiar with the matter.

    Who cares?

    Biggest benefit scroungers have a wedding...

    More funny, is should will had been born a normal citizen he wouldn't, and couldn't, pull that crumpet his dating lol.

    Hardly 'prince' charming is he. Pun intended.

    Nor would he had gone to Eton (registered at birth), top uni, and go figure officer training not that he will do this job on a regular basis. All for show at taxpayers expense. Much like Euro MEP expense scandal with 300 per day for nothing. Source: Dispatches.

    Do you know, that is the first thing that crossed my mind......but mine was more "Arrggghhh, will the kids get the day off school which means major stress for me!"
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    according to the BBC Downing Street has apparently been "non-committal" so far about the prospect.
