A toff who never worked a day in his life before his wife got him a job That places him "one job up" on Obama.
I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

I see a few in his biography, Ken, unless community organizer, lawyer, teacher and professor don't count.

http://abcnews.go.com/International/brexit-vote-prompts-talk-uk-breakup/story?id=40099409Scotland voted 62% Remain. Northern Ireland voted 58% Remain. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36616028London voted 60% Remain. Notice how the liberals accuse the right of scare mongering and exploiting fear. But watch Obama, Hillary, and the Democratic propaganda organs New York Times, MSNBC and CNN make dire predictions for the UK after leaving the EU. Nobody knows the consequences. But those folks will sure make you think they do. Just like the knew that the vote was going to be "Remain". And I don't think those Englishmen and the Americans that want to control immigration into their nation are racists. I think they are culturists. They have pride in their culture. They believe it has intrinsic value, that the rule of law, the Constitution, good work ethic, honesty and giving more than you take make for a great culture and a great nation. They don't want their culture swamped by the uncontrolled immigration of people of other cultures. They aren't against immigration, just uncontrolled immigration. There is a difference in pride in culture (patriotism) and a pride in self. Pride often goes before a fall. It you don't believe it just ask the EU government in Brussels.
I am glad to be here.

....A greater influencing factor was Cameron's poor judgement by betting the country to fix a relatively peripheral issue....
....The young (who will pay the consequences),....voted overwhelmingly to remain.... It seems judgement can be criticized. Why can't a certain US pres' judgement be criticized for issuing the identical bet to influence the vote of citizens of another sovereign nation? It can't be financial burden as we've learned there is no social entitlement that can't be printed or mortgaged away. What consequences will England's young face?

I believe "community organizer" is a euphemism for "unemployed".

I believe "community organizer" is a euphemism for "unemployed". We're not thinking about the same fellow that said a few days ago that he wants to buy an nba team, is it? Does he have some large corporate off shore foundation with a well compensated CEO?

I think he anticipates his income from paid speeches to Goldman Sachs.

Consequences for the young? Opportunity and travel, smaller fish in a big pond, the travel a part of their jobs in a more cosmopolitan and globalized world---as one. I can't think of any aspect of the split as an improvement on their lives. I take this first-hand from visiting Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters pollsters and writers in London visiting us for a few days. Their life-savings also have taken a serious hit. British inquiries for Canadian residency went up 100 per cent yesterday. The worst, of course, is end of UK and most likely EU. Scotland and Ireland already talking referendums.

I think the vote represents the people being sick of all the 3rd and 4th world country imports flooding their country...and all the good paying middle class jobs being exported....to countries that don't give a damn about the working class or the environment....and all this being done by companies that built their reputation as home country loyalists....its always been whatever produces the most profit....but they have bought off the current politicians allowing all these foreign made imports without tariffs....and now to lower the wages on the jobs they cant export they allow all this unregulated immigration....the rich slobs are winning... but I think that will change....a lot of voters are getting fed up and are finally showing some balls....

May be. Practitioners often considered "journalist" as an euphemism for a reporter out of work.
