Blood sausage isn't just a UK thing, variations are found in pretty much every cuisine that eats meat. And it's not even like its super popular in the UK, its very often not even included in a full English breakfast.

And if enough people die then Jack Bauer becomes president.

Four members of the richest British family, worth £37bn, have just gotten prison sentences for paying 1/10th the minimum wage to their servants. Paying them a legal wage would've kept them out of prison and been like you or me dropping a penny into a charity box, but they wouldn't do it, even for people that they saw every day. Billionaires are sociopaths.

It began years ago. That's why things are so bad in Greece, most of the people able to leave have done already in search of a better life and leaving behind a shortage of skilled labour and labour in general. Meanwhile non economically active people, mostly children and retired still need to be supported somehow and unsurprisingly the public finances are in a poor state.

English is a difficult language. It can be understood through tough thorough thought though.

Single exit point is an assembly rule that was mindlessly ported to C/C++. It doesn't make sense in a structured language.

Much less. The company has like $60m in debts and $3m in assets and lost $56m last year. You need to find a way for the company to make enough to pay off its debts before becomes worth anything.

Yes. Thatcher sold it off in '89, and since then the private monopolies have accumulated ~£60bn of debts and paid out ~£58bn in dividends. Now they're arguing with the regulator that they should be allowed to pay out more dividends, increase customer fees by 40% and not have to pay as much in fines for dumping raw sewage because otherwise the companies are "uninvestable" and they won't be able to raise the money to pay their debts and will collapse.

You don't have a choice. You have to work for them.
