Our Looming Prosperity

Well, here's a thing: the forthcoming independence of the United Kingdom from the slave-shackles of Brusso-Strasbourgian Euro-woggery could mean the end of EU funding for social and infrastructure projects in the United Kingdom. Not only do the Euro-wogs expect us to pay our bills before we leave, but they're also cutting off the money that we'd be better off without; one could almost admire the fiendishness of it. Naturally, Britain's late Head Boy and his chums had no particular plans for such a contingency when they called the referendum; and naturally, since only social and infrastructure projects will be affected, nothing much has been done in the three years since they lost it. With the March deadline missed and the October one hovering on the horizon just beyond the House of Expenses Claimants' paid holidays, a few local authorities are kicking up a bit of a fuss, so the Ministry for Homelessness, Social Cleansing and Centralisation extruded a spokesbeing to dispense a bit of ritual patronisation. The Government registered vague interest in the problem a year ago and said it would talk to some people by the end of 2018, and it still intends talking to some people. What further degree of certainty and consistency could anyone reasonably expect?
