Go It Alone United Kingdom!

The UK joined the EU on January 1 1973. Facts are facts.

The UK joined the EEC in 1973.
The European Union was formed on November 1st, 1993.
As the EU did not exist in 1973 the UK could not have joined it at that time.

I was going to say. I was alive then. And I didn't remember them having a EU back then.

It's like the newer "water saving" toilets. If you are doing ANYTHING but taking a leak you are going to need about 6 flushes if you don't want a clog.

I once remember a wise Kenyan once say" If you like your toilet,you can keep your toilet !"

They are protesting the democratic voice of their country. I'm sure the government will swoop in to punish those bastards.

Democracy Sucks! We need more levels of bureaucracy and more distant government that we have less control over!

Can we send them our SCOTUS? They like overruling the will of the people and replacing it with their version of what's right and wrong.

If they don't like the outcome they should protest themselves for not voting. Only 1/3 of young people, the group with the most support for staying, bothered to vote.

Thoughts on brexit and markets « Gary K

That all said, there is absolutely nothing normal about the outside influences in the market. Keep in mind, what you are seeing in Britain is the outcome of distant, unaccountable bureaucrats dictating to others how they should be, what they should do and how they should act. We expect the news to be fluid. Article 50 is a treaty where anyone who wanted to leave the EU has 2 years of negotiating and also needs the rest of the nations to vote yes…so more uncertainty lies ahead. We expect the people in power to say stupid things and more than likely do stupid things. Didn’t you know everyone who voted to leave was racist and xenophobic? Remember this is all about people wanting power. This is all about people wielding that power.

We expect the maniacs in government and central banks to take more crazy action if markets continue to swoon. We do not know how much or in what form but unfortunately they stand at the ready. Just remember what we’ve been telling you. Central bankers have one goal in mind and that’s to prevent markets from going down. They have interfered in every way, shape and form and expect that to continue. Whether or not that turns the tide is another story. Stay tuned.

I've always viewed the EU as a half-assed attempt by Europe to compete on the same scale as the economies of the U.S., later, China.

I always viewed it as a half-assed attempt to keep Germany from occupying the continent again.

Solid take from 4chan:

Britain's Prime Minister didn't want it.
Leader of the opposition didn't want it.
Most of the Tory party didn't want it.
Practically all of the Labour party didn't want it.
Literally 100% of the LibDems didn't want it.
Literally 100% of the SNP didn't want it.
Literally 100% of the Plain Cymru didn't want it.
Literally 100% of the Greens didn't want it.
Hollande didn't want it.
Merkel didn't want it.
Obama didn't want it.
Trudeau didn't want it.
Epic liberal celebrities like John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, and Jon Stewart didn't want it.
Goldman Sachs didn't want it.
JP Morgan didn't want it.
George Soros didn't want it.
A ****load of other banks and globalist financiers didn't want it.
People that label everything racist didn't want it.
The overwhelming majority of elitist out of touch *******s in the media didn't want it.

But your lads having a pint down at the pub wanted it.

Your barber down the street wanted it.

Your local plumber fixing your pipes wanted it.

The man driving you on the bus wanted it.

The people wanted it, lads.

And the people won.

Given what the UK accomplished prior to joining the EU, it is too soon to rule that scenario out, IMHO.
