Yeah! Whenever I take an IQ test I score in the 130s. But I voted Leave so I'm obviously thick as mince. :roll:
The fact you feel the need to do an (or several judging by ‘whenever’) IQ test means you automatically lose 50 IQ points.
Already accounted for. 180(ish) - 50 = 130(ish)

I'm only the messenger. You'll notice the headline I quoted said "more likely", it didn't say "definitely", but as you're so bright I expect you spotted that.
And what was the gist of the message if not "Brexiteers are thick"?

We had all that back in 2016: Brexiteers are thick, racist, bigots, oiks having a tantrum. Etc.

Remain lost. Get over it.

I don't suppose you fancy sending me €36 to cover the charges I've incurred in the last couple of months. A couple of people have unwittingly transferred money to my Spanish bank account from an account with a UK IBAN, €18 a time.

I've escaped the UK but there's no escaping Brexit.

I transfer money from the UK regularly - costs £2 for up to £10,000 transferred.

The cost you are incurring has nothing to do with Brexit.

So Hamas is stringing out the hostage negotiations as long as possible to give it maximum time to resupply, reorganise, and plan its next offensive. Which is why it took so many hostages to start with.

The two state solution is a pipe dream, Hamas will stop only when the state of Israel has ceased to exist.

It's everything to do with Brexit. The charge is imposed by Spanish banks (could be other countries, I don't know) on transfers from UK banks. The charges I've incurred are from Revolut because they have a UK IBAN.

Out of interest I just had a quick google.

It seems that there's no reason for the Spic banks to charge the extra fees, they just do it because there isn't a law that says they can't since Brexit.

I think that says more about the banks themselves than Brexit.
