The new Brexit 50p coin

[CGR]

I don't think the Welsh or Scots will go for independence when the practicalities and consequences of borders, separate currencies, or the ramifications of re-joining the EU are taken by them into consideration. The biggest political implications for the English would be losing the Labour vote in Scotland in general elections - though much of that had long gone to the Scots Gnats - an irony in view of the Scots Nats being quite a bit to the left of Scottish Labour, something the meeja have'nt mentioned at all in consigning Corbyn to eternal ridicule. Scottish Labour has always been a bastion of the right wing of the party.

Wales voted to Leave in the Referendum !!!

The wonderful old Radio 4 Theme that used to played every morning at 6am.

Its a fantastic musical portrait of our great country.

Like Cornwall - they didn't realise they were among the main beneficiaries of EU regional funding. They'll have to wait and see whether the government compensates them with a similar amount. Along with the compensation for all the other regions, projects, organisations and industries that similarly benefited.

The government has yet to give any explanation of where the money is coming from for all its promised expenditure. Presumably Merlin Dom has created some sort of money tree.

I would watch Barry Keefe's "The Long Good Friday", his Britain playing off the USA against Europe allegory. However, instead, I will be at Cafe OTO, following an afternoon at Maida Vale (a BBCSO recording fo International Women's Day).

Hmm. I thought I was only going to one BBC concert recording but it turns out the Cafe OTO gig is also being recorded by the Beeb for future broadcast on The New Music Show. As the deadly hour of 23:00 pproaches, Mr. Crane's new piece, European Towns will receive its premiere.

I record this as a matter of fact only . The InTune mixtape had tonight as part of its all whacky Beethoven selection tonight
Reduction of last Movt of Beethoven 9 (the tenor solo plus fugue plus end ) in the Wendy Carlos version
Auld Lang Syne - Beethoven arrangement I think ..
Just saying...

Was Beef Oven yet a member, he would, I feel sure, be mortified to learn that Julie Fraser was wearing a decidedly pro-EU Laibach T-shirt, replete with EU circle of stars with Brussels Expo 1958 Atomium in the centre for the first piece, Sergei Zagny's "Studies on Rhythm BACH".

She returned, similarly attired for John Lely's "Stopping at the Sheer Edge Will Never Abolish Space"

It's a parody.

.... and a truly painful contrast with the following outstanding performance of K482 by the estimable Mr Levitt and the BRSO.

That was a wonderful performance wasn’t it ? I was only half listening (cooking) but it’s good hear someone varying their touch in Mozart rather than constant jeu perlé.

I saw that t-shirt in TKMax (am I allowed to name that firm, with this forum being a branch of The BBC?) for £49.99 (god knows what the full retail price is) and was about to buy it when, in the queue, I saw it was 'do not tumble-dry' and had to put it back because I haven't got a garden. Shame, it would have gone well with my "Rock Against The New 50p" badge I've got on my duffle coat.

In what has effectively become a cashless society, has anyone yet had the misfortune to have been confronted by a Brexit 50p coin?

No, not me, but I pay for everything by card anyway.

I've never checked! Perhaps we'll get the chance to purchase - or have posted to us - commemorative Coronavirus Medals.
