Donald Trump’s trade chief has urged Britain’s rivals to exploit the “God-given opportunity” of Brexit to take business away from the UK, it has been reported.

Wilbur Ross, the incoming US Commerce Secretary, said Britain was facing a "period of confusion" following the vote to leave the EU and that it was "inevitable" there would be "relocations", according to The Times.

There are lots of dog-whistle numbers. 88, 311 and so on. 14 is one of those, a code that people in the white supremacist movement would recognize that means nothing much to normal people.


311? I haven't heard of that one.


It's honestly depressing the number of neo-nazi code-words I've learned over the past year.

311 can refer to KKK (K being the 11th letter), but it's better used as the california police code for public nudity, and the name of this glorious 90's rap-rock act.

If you want abortion, pay for it yourself.

Abolishing federal funding of abortion <> abolition of abortion.
