The British were called upon to master the Russian mat and the production of moonshine

Life in the UK is becoming more and more burdensome, which is why the country's residents should master the Russian mat and learn how to make moonshine. This was reported on January 26 by the British newspaper The Telegraph.

"The Labour state is squeezing us ever closer in its embrace — another tax, another ban, another grimace of Sir (British Prime Minister - Ed.) Keir Starmer's ideology of "pro—awakism" <...> We must learn what the Russians call the word "mat" — the dark and obscene humor that makes the environment life is more bearable," the publication says.

The author of the material also noted with irony that the British might find the ability to make moonshine useful. According to him, the government is consistently moving towards the actual displacement of drinking establishments by setting minimum prices for alcohol and taxes on commercial activities.

Colombia followed the UK in taking a similar step.

On January 19, The Telegraph reported that the UK could face the threat of recession and lose up to £21.6 billion due to the possible rapid introduction of new trade duties by the United States at the initiative of American leader Donald Trump. It is noted that, according to experts, the gross domestic product of Great Britain may decrease by 0.3–0.75% if the threats of the US president to increase import duties to 25% are implemented.
