Interesting opinion. I'm so concerned about consequences of the likely Mother Country break-up that thoughts intrude: "What would the US be without California's GDP?" And, to be devilishly partisan, What would the US be with a drawing back, we'll go it alone, our way or the highway in a globalized world?

Can you all believe this... the biggest news story in the UK and EU in decades, yet all of these Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters pollsters and writers from London are spending their time where???... in rural Canada, seeking counsel from the Muse of Nova Scotia.

I'd imagine that Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, and Bobby, Teddy, and Jackie are there as well, nodding in total agreement and drinking toasts to Scottish and Irish succession with glasses of King's award winning wine... which was actually made by someone else!

King, what do you know about these crop circles? Surely you have some little green men staying with you too.



Interesting to see how the interests of the corporate fat cats suddenly take precedence over those of the working class when it also supports Socialist income redistribution, open border policies, and the interests of Liberal supporters of globalism like Obama.

Just a couple of points if I may;
Travel will be in no way limited or restricted unless producing a passport constitutes an intolerable burdon.
Life savings have not been affected in any way,,the interest rates here have been near to zero for years now .
Your informants are unfortunately typical of the Metropolitan Liberal Outlook who failed to be aware of the mood of the country at large for so long.

Well, Brittain, except for continental drift, is the same thirty miles or so coast-to-coast from Europe as it was before the Brexit vote. I doubt that Channel Tunnel will be filled in. England is already cosmopolitan. And blue collar Brits won't have as much competition for blue collar jobs as they would with unfettered immigration. I am always surprised at liberals' inability to connect inequality, the plight of the working poor and immigration (legal or otherwise).

Well, many Americans took a big hit on their stock portfolios in 2009. Seem to have pretty well recovered though. Would it it be possible for that to happen in UK?

Based on the same pollsters that predicted "Remain" or perhaps those bookies giving 80% odds of "Remain"?

Scotland had a referendum in 2014 while the UK was still in the EU. So no change there.

Some Texans have been talking about seceding since before we joined the Union. Of course, the European Union won't invade England to force it back into the fold.

Wait 'till the U.S. Forest Service with their 100 million rounds of 9mm gets up there and starts barking orders on how to pulp timber. Can you say-fantods?

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.

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. Four points and million-plus votes not near close.

God knows what will happen, Mike. 2009 to now is a long time for a not-robust UK economy. We're only seeing the first of it.

Jerry Adams is in high flight in Ireland and Scotland's independence is still near the front-burner.

The Americans have nothing to teach Canada about responsible forestry. My organization won the world's top award for it in 2014, for its work over over half of the province. We intend to make the entire province the greenest constituency in the world. Totally voluntary by tens of thousands of mom-and-pop operations who do it because it's the right thing to do. No guns needed.

What does Brussels have to teach the English on how they want to run their country? Why are you so concerned about money? What price is freedom?
Dumbasses should have hedged. Always hedge.

King, it is stunning to me that you have aligned yourself this time with the privileged few. There is a blindness the left exhibits again and again when two fundamental beliefs turn out to be mutually exclusive. Lets try the feminist silence for the most misogynistic culture on earth today. King, the defender of the little guy, lining up with the Eton elites.

King, a recent study in the UK demonstrated that will the posh represent about 7% of the population they hold over 50% of the power positions in politics, business and the civil service. And by posh, I mean the high school graduates of Eton, Harrow, Charterhouse etc. I know you know I'm one of those few, but I've done my part.....I opted out of power! LOL

They have been lied to about the effects of globalization (elimination of tariffs) and unfettered immigration on their lives and their livelihoods.


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.

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.


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.
