I must say the reaction of the left, having lost the vote has been thoroughly revealing.
Australia's position is that since you have your market protected, your food isn't at it's true value anyway.
In effect what we found when the U.K became a member of the EU we lost export to the U.K because of this protectionism and we found markets, eventually elsewhere. It'll be the same for the U.K.
Probably actually better off in the long run.
Anyway if Scotland and N.Ireland no longer want to be in the Union, go away. What's the problem?
The UK piglets are squealing something fierce and blaming the boars because they are forced to remove their mouths from the boar's teats.
They have group together to take action in the most important medium they know.
Twitter.
Gifs, meme.....etc.
Having positively made their points (and obviously having done something very important for the world) they patted themselves on the back and have gone back to their normal lives on You Tube and Facebook.
Actually facts... you think I want to see a worse war? Tankie's generation have potentially endangered mine and the younger one. They have almost certainly destroyed the UK. Even that idiot Farage was breaking promises asap "It was a mistake to say we could spend more on the NHS"...Who is the next PM? Boris Johnson? Are you kidding???? Is the PM job exclusively for the Bullingdon Club - people who wreck restaurants and who's parents pay? Now they want their children to pay too?
see guys, this is what i meant when i said childish loser!
What fact? Fact that EU has help keep powers from going to war at each other since 1945? (oops!)
Fact that a vote of the young and rich should have more weight than the old and poor? Oh, did you inform your grandparents and parents that they are now supposed to be 2nd class citizens?
No wonder why millenials are such a bunch of clueless losers.
I soooo seriously wanted Bolton to win that battle. Snow was a complete moron with absolutely no thought for strategy whatsoever
To be fair to John, he didn't have soldiers or an army, just a group of guys used to small scale raiding. Any strategy beyond line up here then go stab the enemy would have fallen apart quickly.
I put the blame squarely on Sansa. For some reason she decided it was a better idea to watch her brother and his guys get slaughtered rather than mention that she had a well equipped army nearby at her beck and call. Some professional soldiers to take up the main engagement with a large group of wildling raiders to commit at the right time would have been a pretty potent force.
Also, someone should have given the giant a tree to swing around to break the enemy lines.
I wish but sadly there is war already in the country I live in.
Sarah, not every action in Europe should be decided via the perspective of conflict with Russia. Over the long term a docile populous submitting to the rule of an undemocratic EU will only make Europe weaker. Britons have taken a courageous decision and in doing so shattered the dysfunctional echochamber of modern European politics. Changes will reverberate through Europe for a generation. The leaders of Europe (the national leaders, not the Eurocrats) have an opportunity to make sure that the changes are positive. I predict they will do this in the coming days as the shock of Brexit wears off.
Read carefully the words of Merkel and Hollande and contrast with those of the Eurocrats:
The gears are already shifting. It will not be Britain that will suffer punishment. Europe cannot afford to punish Briton. The alienation of Britain is antithetical to the foundational idea of the EU. Germany and France know that's a path towards the abyss. Instead, Briton will receive a favorable separation agreement, and there will be profound changes to EU governance, policies and mandates to ensure that others stay in.
The power of Eurocrats will be the true casualty of this vote, and the current crop of leaders will be on their way out.

Yup. Every single elected European leader has just woken up to the fact they can have trade agreements and control their country without the insane socialist swill that is Brussels. I bet the major industrialists are licking their lips as well.
In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility.
