1 month agoA bunch of very rich people really wanted Brexit, that’s why what was touted as a ‘non-binding’ referendum (“just to see what the people want”) was treated as very much binding once the Leave campaign won it (by a couple of percent).
Coincidentally, the original date they wanted to have it all finalised for just so happened to be the same day as new EU regulations about declaring off-shore bank deposits came into power.
It was an option, but the fact there’s an article about it suggests he got caught, and I imagine the consequences will be worse than having to attend a work party.
Other options (with consequences of varying severities) include: jumping out of a window; never quiting the job until you die so they can’t throw you any parties; not showing up for the last day of work; telling your colleagues you don’t want a leaving party.
