Does that mean we’re in for an influx of br*tish people?

We're already here!

Your comment shows it will be posted "in 17 minutes", I have never seen that before.

It's a kbin/lemmy integration thing. Although I did think it was fixed now.

Too bad, I was thinking this future-past connection thing we had could be really lucrative for us.

Yeah, sorry. I can't give you any lottery numbers just in time to buy a ticket.

That will raise too many questions after we win for the 3rd time. We need to ride the gold and soybean market fluctuations ;)

Well, see you win one lottery, to get the seed money. Then you suddenly become a really good futures trader overnight with the winnings.

EDIT: Which is kinda what you said I now realise.

Probably not. They'll farm the jobs off to Berlin, most likely.

With that said, I'd be shocked if the inevitable UK/US trade deal didn't include some degree of visa. British workers are cheap as fuck, and our service industries already do a lot of cheap labour for US companies that don't want to pay domestic workers.
