The rage around inequality in the G7 and G20 is a new phenomenon as the young and middle class recognize how they've been lied to by money which conned electorates to vote against their best interests.
They have been lied to about the effects of globalization (elimination of tariffs) and unfettered immigration on their lives and their livelihoods.
Another polling blunder: it's been explained to me how it happened and they're trying to change the algorithms---again. My informants had it close, maybe 51-49 for Remain.
I hope your dinner guests, with their uncanny ability to predict the outcome of a 33 million vote, placed a big bet on "Leave". 10,000 Pounds-Sterling would pay 40,000.
God knows what will happen, Mike.
But you, your dinner guests, MSNBC, CNN, and the New York Times don't know. This may be the greatest thing that has happened to England since the sinking of the Spanish Armada. But y'all continue to fear monger the issue even though the outcome is uncertain. And the outcome of a "Remain" majority vote was just as uncertain. Greece, Spain, Ireland ("southern Ireland") and Portugal are in some dire financial straits.
Jerry Adams is in high flight in Ireland and Scotland's independence is still near the front-burner.
Again, Scotland voted on seceding in 2014 while Britain was still in the EU. So no change there.
Again, some Texans have been talking about seceding from the union since 1844, before they joined.
And what if Ireland and/or Scotland do secede? Australia, the United States and Canada are no longer part of the United Kingdom. Britain seemed to do OK without us.
