This morning saw a new record for the number of expletives on my Facebook feed. Among the gentler language used to describe the current situation were phrases like 'shot in the head'

To my international friends, especially Britons living in other European countries, and citizens of other EU states living in Britain, I am sorry. We tried.

Oh goody.
Looks like we're about to leave the EU.
Yippee.

Britain's decline and fall

IN WHICH I give my opinion on something I know very little about

(If I wasn't supposed to stick my nose into things I don't understand, why did God make it so big?)

I didn't know what "Brexit" was until after the vote. I saw it in Google search results and guessed from context that it was a right-wing blog.

If you're British or live in Britain, and you care at all about the future, please consider signing this:

Petition: Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU

- As the result of the EU referendum became clear, the poll's divisive effects across generational lines became highly visible online.

Cross-posted to my blog on Hubpages, with some edits made.

I am a democrat [proponent of democracy] because I believe in the Fall of Man.

I think most people are democrats for the opposite reason. A great deal of democratic enthusiasm descends from the ideas of people like Rousseau, who believed in democracy because they thought mankind so wise and good that every one deserved a share in the government.

Got home from the Czech Republic to find this had arrived. I now serve two masters. This means, when Brexit finally flushes Britain for good, I get to work in a country that still has an economy and some human rights.

To which I can only say, thank God. For two reasons:

1. Maybe the talking heads here in Ireland will finally stop howling about how Ireland will explode if Britain leaves.

A quick note on the first three tragedies. Firstly, it was the working classes who voted for us to leave because they were economically disregarded, and it is they who will suffer the most in the short term. They have merely swapped one distant and unreachable elite for another.

It's European Parliament election time. Today in the UK, on Sunday for most other countries. Europeans: please get out and vote for nice candidates and parties that support international friendship.

Well bugger. We've voted to leave, RIP the UK.

On another note, I'm slowly writing a new Sci-Fi fic simular to "Arrow-18" - more details when I actualy publish the story (prob in a while, no deadline)

Once again the UK is just weeks from crashing out of the European Union. Back in March, we took to the streets and it ended up being postponed and Theresa May was defeated. Now we have an even bigger villain of a Prime Minister with an even more evil plan, while the opposition parties squabble with each other instead of working together.

Blargh!

There are now less than twenty days until Britain will leave the European Union. There is no agreement between the UK and EU as to how this will happen, or even any agreement among British politicians about what sort of agreement they want. There is some agreement that the deal Prime Minister Theresa May has negotiated, which is not so much a deal as an agreement to agree all the details later, is not acceptable. Remainers hate it as it will cut us off from Europe. Leavers hate it as it looks

If British politics were an Equestria Girls film, we would now be at the scene where the Prime Minister has transformed into a megalomaniac winged demon, and is now hovering above the Palace of Westminster, sending out shots of dark magic while cackling with laughter, yet frustrated with people’s efforts to thwart her evil plans.

Quick visit from the internet-bunker to tell you something.
Donald Trump will be President of the United States.
I just woke up and already lost my faith in humanity.
And Europe thought nothing could beat the Brexit
And because I stand to my word and to get into the right mood:

So, not one for politics, but it was announced yesterday that Boris Johnson has been elected as the next Prime Minister for our country in regards to Brexit. He's supposed to be officially taking the position this afternoon.

Not saying I don't like the guy, he's a laid back and free dude, but...let's just say that Boris tends to go a bit off the rails here and there in the responsibility sense, especially in times when it's not needed.

The UK has, by the looks of things, voted to leave the EU.

The pound is already down 10%.

And by that I mean 12%, as it has fallen an additional 2% since I found out that Brexit is, apparently, happening.

The economists did warn them.

Ah well. In for a penny, in for a pound.

At the present rate, that will be the exchange rate when I get up tomorrow..
