MPs like holidays, they often winge about how stressful the job is.

Well they're getting another one now, they should be thankful.

At what point will there be the massive messy demonstrations with lots of people getting angry. I may come and join in. Although I'll have to hit the pub first, or maybe right now...

There will be a massive market for French people wishing to emmigrate to the UK in the years ahead.

Consider the Netherlands as well, the Dutch tend to speak English somewhat fluently. Same goes for the Scandinavian countries, by the way.
