    Eh? He's has lived there for many years. He commutes to London daily via helicopter.

    Sorry dude, you truly are a moron. It's over 1,000 kilometers from Monaco to London. If he's flying an S-92, one of the fastest civilian helicopters, he's going to cruise at 280 km/hr. So we're talking 3.5 hours each way, or a 7 hour round trip "commute" from Monaco to London each day best case?

    How does it feel to know you know your entire worldview is based on this kind of rubbish background "information"?

    This is what the article says:"Green commutes from Monaco, where wife Lady Green is based, to the UK by private jet."

    So in best case he uses a helicopter to move from a UK airport to his office. A helicopter can never cover the Monaco-UK trip without an additional landing to refuel. The round trip will take close to 9 hours in total. Flying that distance by helicopter is also much more expensive in operational cost.

    Yeah...he uses a helicopter and a private jet....helicopter to go to the airport.

    The real point was that he ALREADY lives in Monaco...

    Actually the real point is you know so little about the world outside your little flat that you had not even the first clue where Monaco was on a map, no-one would make such an absurd statement otherwise. Or a concept of time and distance, even with a "house with helo pad to helicopter to Citation X to helicopter to office with helo pad", and no ATC or weather delays that's close to 4 hours of a "daily commute". That begs the question of wtf you know about the European economics and politics that you opine on so freely, or really anything for that matter. And if you're over the age of 18 or just really really ignorant, I'm being generous lately so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're a kid living in your mom's basement who's never been on an airplane but has read Atlas Shrugged 18 times.

    And speaking of points and self contradiction, you're dead set against these horrible awful outsiders in the EU having any say in anything that impacts the UK, to the point of suggesting millions of maimed and dead people in a war is preferable to the current intolerable situation, but you're fine with some dude who lives in Monaco having a major say in it? Regardless of commuting situation.

    What's the relevance of ever having been in Monaco?

    Those who have have been there would know there is a hypersonic hoverboard service between the Casino and the City offered by La Society Des Bains de Mer. Works for Wimbledon as well.

    I thought it was a hyperloop. Maybe we can merge this thread with the $TSLA thread!
