Very Interesting, But Stupid
Just because the Recrudescent Imperium will soon be liberated from the crippling economic effects of being inside a major trading bloc, it must not be assumed that the proceeds will be carelessly thrown away. The People's Haystack's plan, if plan is the word I want, to build a bridge between the provinces of Scotland and Northern Ireland has been greeted with polite scepticism by the crypto-wogs across the Irish Sea. As befits a tank-topped bum-boy, the Irish prime minister has expressed a foppish preference for spaffing the money away on infrastructure and education and has suggested, of all things, a feasibility study before the project has even started. He has even implied that the Nazi-Soviet Brusso-Strasbourgian dictatorship might refuse to foot the bill, thereby proving itself less charitably inclined than those lucky British taxpayers to whom the People's Haystack once sold a non-existent bridge across the Thames.
