The transfer was carried out partially by buying and selling and partly by physically transferring gold, the Dutch national bank said.

    If you think the UK isn’t politically stable you’ve just been watching too much fox news.

      After Brexit and the UK following in the footsteps of just about every shitty thing the US does, I don’t see how one could call them stable.

        Farage, Boris… There are ugly undercurrents in British society and culture. I am throwing stones with sin here, because my country also struggles against those cuntdicks, but I’ve been there many times so I’m not speaking out of turn.

        Let’s keep in mind that Putin has been funding right wing extremism and fanned polarity in Europe for the better part of three decades now. It shows.

      Then again, how come your PMs only last an average of 6 months on the job before they get kicked out and are replaced before the replacement leaves in 6 months.

      Lettuce woman springs to mind, but holy shit.

        That’s just how the UK political system is, it’s not a sign of instability. We really do need to change our truly broken political system but that’s more about fairness and an actual representative government, than it is protecting us from from fascism.

          But that is a clear sign of instability, my man. I’m from Europe so I know what’s up, and GB has been in turmoil since Thatcher. In fact you’re Europe’s USA as far as I’m concerned- you’re basically OG USA really… I love the people, but you’re still dealing with your colonial past and the structures of its old institutions still governing you.

          You’re also a bunch of mad lads so I have hope for you.
