Brexit - Should I stay or should I go??

Re: Brexit - Should I stay or should I go??

The EU fears an economic meltdown...that is the only reason they allowed the extension. They are praying Brexit never happens now.

This extension won't accomplish that. This extension only means that business will lose billions more in costs because of uncertainty and the Mogg Monster and his partners will have more time to move accounts away from the UK (and make more money speculating against British interests)

I actually doubt that. No one wants to be in #10 until after Brexit because they don't want to be tagged with the subsequent headaches. Were Corbyn to somehow get the job he would give George Canning's record a shot.

Give it to UKIP. Then we can all at least enjoy the lynchings.

Presumably the EU gave them the extension because all the continental rich are now pulling all their assets from the UK and anywhere the UK's demise will f-ck up (like, say, the US).

This is revenge for Agincourt.

Everyone should watch Henry V.

Read Harold Bloom's analysis of Henry V in this book sometime (actually read the whole book, it's fantastic).

Spoiler: Harold does not care for him. Not one bit. God he loves him some Falstaff, though.

I've always thought Henry came across as a bit of a boob -- like a jock's idea of what a great king would be -- but Branaugh's version of him is much more full. I mean, he's still a blowhard sociopath manipulative killing machine, but he's got at least some of his sprightly youngster H4.1-ness still in him.

UKIP have some interesting nominees for the European Elections. One just last night said, "I have been a student...couldn't even afford a hookup, so you had to rape. It's even worse if you're a female student because not only are you poor, but you're always getting raped." A real peach there.

Don't expect the head of the party to do anything though.

He says Islam is a death cult.

Charming.

All religions are technically death cults. Give us your money now, and we'll give you a 200% return much later*!

*In unrealized gains ;)
 
Re: Brexit - Should I stay or should I go??

Funny little story:

A coworker of mine recently got married. Her husband, a Brit, has decided that the US doesn't really have much to offer him anymore. He wants to return home, and since she's from the Philippines (and a US citizen), he would like for her to join him in the UK. So they're moving there in a couple months. I asked her, "So what do you think about the whole Brexit situation?"

My coworker meets my question with a blank stare, "What's Brexit?" I gave her a very bare bones explanation, and suggested she research it on the internet for more information.

Yeah, this she's in for a bit of surprise.

Great Britain is off my list because of it. I would never choose to live there now.
