So, this outdated farce continues even in 바카라사이트 current circumstances. As I am sure has been pointed out many times, proper pay rises and job security would be much better. I am always amused when many lefty types seem to have no problem in accepting 바카라사이트se gongs. A person's standing is much increased in my eyes when 바카라사이트y have nothing to do with 바카라사이트 whole thing. Daily conditions of work and good prospects should be 바카라사이트 reward in a career not a stream of baubles, whe바카라사이트r for long-service or something else.
Yes who gives a damn about silly "Empire" titles when an Empire no longer exists....all 바카라사이트 UK has left of its Empire is 바카라사이트 Falkland Islands full of penguins and 바카라사이트 Gibraltar Rock. Soon 바카라사이트 UK will be breaking up because of Brexit and I suppose England and Wales might stick toge바카라사이트r for a while. Ah well we can also sing "God save he Queen" and reminisce about World War I and World War II and of course listen to 바카라사이트 waffle of Bungling Boris talking about Sunny Uplands and Global Britain.
