"More than 4000 publicly owned buildings and spaces are being sold off by councils in England every year, according to a Freedom of Information request by community charity Locality. It says parks, libraries, town halls and swimming pools are among properties being sold, often to private developers to build luxury flats.  The charity warns that cash-strapped councils are making up for budget shortfalls by selling off assets which are vital community hubs for both young and old.

No doubt the EU Supra's partied all night as the UK's Article 50 oval got kicked over the touchline.   On the offense Brexit won by 498 MP's votes to 114 defense.  As the Old Man of Europe (UK)  pinches its nose are there still some players on the field, what of the 10 yarders,  and will there be a turnover?    Gridiron.
