    The "United" in "United Kingdom" refers to the union between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland.

    The full title is The United Kingdom Of Great Britain And Northern Ireland.

    So by your logic, that's got a double dose of Ireland.

    So we have different thresholds for "similar".

    The difference is very subtle. You're using it to mean similar. He's using it to mean identical.

    As someone who grew up in Northern England during Thatcher's reign, I remember plenty of people were in favour of Scottish independence.

    As long as they drew the border from the Severn to the Wash.

    The civil service is not political, or at least not party political. You don't get a huge churn, even at the top, when there's a change of government. In the US they do, right? Those are the posts Chump's stuffing with his relatives?

    Sometimes the kitchen sink blocks. And there's a door in the corridor that won't stay shut and I bump into it during the night.

    Globalism benefits only the most rich, while trade between sovereign nations can benefit everyone.

    Care to explain that, because I don't see how the two things are mutually exclusive. China trades under globalization, as does New Zealand. Are they not sovereign nations?

    Their math is still wrong but your reading comprehension is too.
    34 / (34 - 20) = 2.4%

    One, I don't see why you're doing 34 - 20. It said ''from'', not ''by''.

    Two, the delta goes on top. The base value (usually the oldest one) goes on the bottom. You have the new value on top and the [incorrect] delta underneath.

    Three, even with the figures you used it doesn't give 2.4%. Not even close.

    In summary: you're not so great at either, sunshine.

    I guess putting commas where they aren't needed just doesn't go far enough, so you had to put semicolons instead.
