    It has become part of the political culture, nothing is safe in the public sector from saving and cuts, unless its MP's salaries.

    Just a thought. If the FCO did what it was supposed to do, put Britain and British territories' and their interests first, stopped sticking their noses into the responsibilities of other government departments, stopped being jerkoffs for foreigners and remember who pays their wages, there might be an improvement. Has there been any investigation into how many FCO “personnel” are cock-sucking (pussy-delving), arse-recipient, perverts? Best option is to physically examine all FCO personnel. Measure all their arses. Home visits to locate “sex toys”. Dildos, butt plugs, vibrators. Are all FCO personnel, like argie foreign ministry personnel, perverts? So many questions. But so many FCO personnel are traitors!

    It’s always interesting when the government says,
    We have no money,
    Some even want a united states of Europe,
    Some think its just an excuse by the powerful, and the overlords in the EU to destroy the UK and totally ruin it,

    This would suit them fine,
    Then they would have A EU foreign office,

    They are trying to give the impression that the uk is finished , rather than admit it is their incompetent stupid polices that have done this,

    No money indeed lol,
    50 odd billion to EU coffers a year , 12 billion overseas aid,
    Billions, to the World Bank,
    Pull the other one, its got EU officials hanging from it..
