Oh, I don't know there is a lot of worried people (non-brits) outside the UK.
But yeh, you're probably right!

There, that should cover all the bases.

That's probably because they actually still care about politics and what their political leaders do, unlike here in the US, where what we care about is who's getting voted out on some reality island show.
And yes, I know there's other countries in the world too, but unlike the Brits, they seem to have a either a better sense of dignity and keep their opinions to themselves, or they live in regimes where speaking is censored, often enough self-censored, "or else."
And then there's Australia, but who listens to them, and they know it.
There, have I successfully insulted everyone? 
I even remembered to click on the joke icon, lest someone take offense, but they probably will anyways.

You forgot to accuse me of being romantically involved with sheep.
But that's OK - I forgive you!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

My God, I can imagine it whining:

Poor thing!
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

Some of us care, but at the same time, we know that who's elected does not matter in the least.

That will no longer be a problem. I heard they are leaving.

I had to google the term to find out what it means. It sounds like a good idea. Being in the UK, maybe you can help us get a head start?

I have been known to check a hotel bed before entering it, much to the amusement of my wife.

Makes me want to dig some old Heinlein books and the Notebooks of Lazarus Long. His views on politics (at least in his books) was good for a laugh and a thought

Amen!
I particularly like Lazarus Long's dictum about strong drink:
"Beware of strong drink; it can make you shoot at tax collectors - and miss!"
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Yes, but now we're the player on the bench that has had a bust up with the manager and knows we won't be playing again so feel free to rubbish the rest of the team, point out the failings of the other players, and send Instagram's of the coach's bald head and knobbly knees! On which note, I see it's kick-off time in the Euros!

Wrong! As long as the British government did not formally submits his resignation in Brussels, it remains for the time being as it was.
[Edit Keep in mind Google helped me]
In the broadest sense similar to a divorce of a married couple. Even if they both agree to divorce ... as long as the contract has not officially terminated, the couple remains married. So it is with such contracts

If we do it now we are at a disadvantage. We will wait for the markets to settle - appoint our negotiation team and do it then.

In other words: cherry picking. The same thing is accused of Switzerland.
