Well OK then, let's all have another cup of Armageddon.

This is a total overreaction to the divorce. Britain is doing nothing more than returning to a status of what it was some 15 years ago. London will continue to be a strong presence in international trade, though its might will reduce some as a result. People are reacting as though its a complete collapse of the nation.

Then buy the pound. I think you're right and it will rebound.

This is interesting.

The First Minister of Scotland is arguing that for the UK to leave the EU, the Scottish Parliament would have to vote to exit.

This scenario is based upon an interpretation of the Scotland Act 1998, the statute which created (or, rather, recreated) the Scottish Parliament.
Clause 29 of that Act, anent legislative competence, empowers the Scottish Parliament to legislate in the devolved areas for which it is responsible - while obliging it to take care that nothing it does is "incompatible" with EU law.

In short, EU law has force in Scotland and, in devolved areas, is enacted and implemented by the Scottish Parliament, not Westminster.

Which... well, actually... maybe. Even better, it could give everybody a chance to say "oh, gee, I guess we messed up. Never mind!" Which they might actually do if they're freaked out enough.

Even UKIP would love it because then half the Tory supporters would revolt and join them.

They'll get their chance to join the EU in Referendum 2.0. England/Wales want to be independent of Brussels, Scotland does not.

The negotiations will involve trading Scotland and Northern Ireland for the Aquitaine and Normandy. Plus there will be an agreement on visas for athletes.

They have to recoup $3 billion in costs. Those ain't going to come cheap.

That's actually a very common model for rehabbing old hotels now. When Starwood reopened the Book-Cadillac in Detroit as a Westin about 10 years ago, they turned most of the top 1/3 of the building into expensive lofts and sold them off.

They'd chop up the flag and sell it off piecemeal if they could. I wonder what a star would go for?

Not sure what my factual post has to do with this bit of pessimistic musing. The Book-Cadillac building is huge, and in the modern era where there is actually substantial competition for hotel rooms in Detroit (shocking, I know), it made business sense to reduce the occupancy by selling off the prime views on the top floors as condos, and enlarging the renovated rooms. Americans demand substantially larger hotel rooms today than they did in the 40s and 50s. Now there's something to be depressed about. :p

Kepler's methodology of taxation: "I can't be successful, so to make up for it, I'm just going to bring down those that are actually successful so I don't look as bad."

And dumbest. You can have that exact same party just about any Friday, Saturday or Sunday at the pool any one of Las Vegas' mega resorts, and it'll only cost you about $500 for the cabana, which you can apply towards your bottle service. That party looked lame.
