Tony Blair drives Great Britain into the Iraq ditch, and now this?
Godspeed Great Britain. I wish you much better luck with your new leader.
Expect things to go pretty badly when LePen and Wilders are cheering things on. At that point, you just know to expect a “Red Wedding.”
Britain survived Iraq
Its not really clear if England can survive this
I’m more than willing to give them our American Cheeto Jesus! I know…they will suffer anyway; why add to their coming burdens. Well, solves the problem for both of us: We here are rid of him and there, well, every hellish situation needs a devil and it may be too much for Farge and Johnson!
After spooging all over reporters about how YOOOOOGELY’ amazing it will be to play with plastic Trump balls on Trump sand and Trump greens, he reminded everyone that this was just the Brits taking their country back from the terrorist brown people/furriners’. And we’ve heard that message from him ad nauseum.
Trump will bring them his message:
Winning…Duh!
Isn’t this the very definition of cutting and running? Cameron calls the referendum to placate those on his right flank, but now since it didn’t go his way, he’s leaving the mess he made to his successor?
I mean, yes, by all means resign, but clean up first.
Now people waking up regretting their vote circulating petition the government to re-do vote and make London independent city/state: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/i-really-regret-my-vote-now-the-brexit-voters-who-wish-theyd-voted-to-remain-a3280361.html
Just saw where Johnson (channeling/repeating Farge) said this was the first step in returning Europe to a “…Europe of strong nation states.”
HooooBoy! Cause’ that worked out so well, huh? ____ Soon Spain will want Gibraltar back and…~aaaaargh!~ …World War III.
Yes and that thought scares me silly. All the tribalism and xenophobia will burgeon with renewed confidence.
It appears Alex Haig the Cat has taken temporary control at 10 Downing: She purred: “I am in control here…”
Absolutely right to be nervous. Already, the Netherlands, Denmark, France and Italy…and more to come have, in one manner or another, had prominent factions and leaders state their desire for independence from the EU on the heels of Brexit.
Nativism in Europe, coupled with Trump-like fear and hatred of “others,” is a renewed and terrifying possibility.
They are actually racing for this title:
Annnnnd, just like that - Nicola Sturgeon calls for yet another referendum on Scottish independence.
Yes. But thousands have died in Iraq and that decision, in part, led to the rise of Al Queda and Isis in their territory. The dust is yet to settle on Brexit, but I would argue Iraq was a more devastating development.
Oh…on the positive side, this vote will make it much, much more difficult for the Brits to posit that WE are dumber than THEY in political matters!
(*One caveat: Should Cheeto Man be elected ~shudder!~ we assume the top spot again.)
It was inevitable!
O I know - I have been following European politics the last couple of years, and mainly Italian politics and Salvini of the Lege Nord and the LePens in France are already agitating to exit. M5Stelle just got Rome away from Renzi, the PM, and M5Stelle are populists who will make common cause with Salvini if it suits them.
I find the whole thing extremely disturbing and depressing.
Reince Priebus has sent a gift of enduring solidarity to England on behalf of the Republican Party…and it appears to contain a message. Let’s look closely!
Again the current subject is whether England could end up being the world’s largest version of Serbia
