So, Brexit, wow...





Wow.  Just wow.

So we ought to expect a new Scottish Referendum soon and I suspect Scotland to become an independent nation.  Some are saying Northern Ireland is talking seceding as well.

I have to wonder if we have the political classes completely misreading the public, here, in Britain and abroad, because their beliefs have become so strong as to place them into an echo chamber.  The world might have shifted underneath us and many might be in denial.  It makes me rather worried for November.

Well, my brit friends, you can always join the US.  Heck, you could even get a William Windsor, POTUS, if he were willing to abdicate.  He seems far more capable than at least one of the twits in our presidential race right now.

Britain, European Union Discussing Technicalities of Brexit

A European official says British Prime Minister David Cameron and European Council President Donald Tusk will meet Sunday night to discuss the technicalities of the process needed if the U.K. decides to exit the bloc in the next couple of years.

Following an EU summit on Turkey and the refugee crisis on Sunday afternoon, Cameron and Tusk will meet for pre-arranged talks to work out details of a so-called Brexit.

British Leaders Threatening Exit From European Union Again

Britain's foreign secretary says the European Union must implement fundamental reform or British people would vote to leave the bloc in an upcoming referendum.

Philip Hammond told the BBC on Sunday that "the British people will not be fobbed off with a set of cosmetic alterations to the way the EU works" and that there must be "substantive legally-binding change" for Britons to vote to stay in the 28-nation bloc.


So, the UK leaves the EU.  Scotland leaves the UK.  How fractal can we make the secession in the British Isles?  :)

However, Cameron says the Brits ought to be able to get what they want in changes to the EU so secession isn't necessary.

Great Leader of the Europeans, Merkel, has stated some sort of compromise is likely and possible to avert the Brexit.
