EU ministers to discuss plan to charge Britons to visit Europe after Brexit

But will we be paying to visit Europe - or leave Britain I wonder.

“Our president-elect has, at various times, said he would bomb civilians, loot oil and waterboard, which isn’t a military strategy so much as the series of words that Donald Rumsfeld mutters so he can stay hard while he’s masturbating,” he said.

Oliver went on to say: “We are faced with the same questions as a guy that woke up the day after a Vegas bachelor party, deep in the desert, naked, tied to a cactus and a dead clown. Namely, how the fuck did we get here and what the fuck do we do now?”

He also discussed a common Republican response since the result: pundits and politicians telling us to give him a chance and see what happens.

“It’s like we’re on a plane and we just found out our pilot is a wombat,” he said. “I don’t like this, I don’t understand how it happened and I’m pretty sure we’re heading for disaster but what the hell, come on, batty, prove me wrong!”

He also believes that this can be a dangerous frame of mind to have. “Optimism is nice if you can swing it but you’ve got to be careful because it can feed into the normalization of Donald Trump, and he is not normal,” he said. “He is abnormal. He is a human ‘what is wrong with this picture?’”

"According to those present, Trump did not know the names of many UK politicians but understood the issues around Brexit, including immigration."

We’re getting used to these nights now. There could be a referendum on whether everyone in Britain should have a red hot poker up their arse, and all the polls could show not a single person wanted a red hot poker up their arse, and you know around 2.30 in the morning Dimbleby would be gasping, “What an extraordinary night. Just look at that result from Worcester, 72 per cent in favour of a red hot poker up the arse. What on earth do you make of this, Paddy Ashdown?”

Who better to solve America’s problems than a deranged sociopath?

Hilary Benn will announce, “If Labour wishes to reconnect with our core voters, we have to be realistic and grab a woman’s pussy. Of course we must do this in a fair and measured way, in line with Labour’s traditional values, and our grabbing will be fully costed and at no expense to the taxpayer. I have raised this with Jeremy Corbyn, suggesting he starts with Dame Shirley Williams, but sadly have as yet received no reply.”

Or maybe the way we settle things is wait until the Mexicans have built the wall. Then get the Canadians to build one on the other side, we all chip in to stick a roof over the top and lock the bastards in.

Total control of the Senate, the House and - soon - the Supreme Court. They'll wreak havoc. War. Hate. Denial. It's all coming.

Would Rubio, Cruz or any of the others (with the possible exception of Kasich) have been any better? No. probably worse. But the issue isn't just who is president.

That’s correct – New Hampshire has only just now been called. Clinton picks up 4 additional electoral votes.

...Michigan, with its 16 electoral votes, has yet to be called. Trump appeared to be about 10,000 votes ahead of Clinton in the state
with an unknown number of provisional ballots, absentee ballots and other outstanding ballots to be counted (or recounted).

One is that housebuilders deliberately constrain supply to keep prices - and their profits - high.
The government is considering bringing in financial sanctions for housebuilders that do not develop land quickly enough.
