I saw that too. Is it really that bad?

Of course you mean a "Hair Don't,"  right?

You are right, of course.  :P

This is going to be a messy divorce between the EU and the UK. Very messy. They've got about two years to bargain and talk about how and under what conditions to leave.


Now extreme right wing parties in Europe everywhere start roaring about their own exit.

But there could well be other referendums within the UK, too. One for Scottish independence, one for Northern Ireland's possible union with the rest of Ireland, and even another referendum about staying in the EU. That last could easily result from the petition signed by hundreds of thousands of people pointing out that a vote with less than a 60% majority should be questioned.

It's going to be a mess.

Not a referendum even Farage can be opposed to, because he said he'd question every outcome that was in favour for remain if it had less than 66% of the votes. Should work both ways.

But messy it will be.

And after the "divorce" negotiations, there will be negotiations about import, export, visits, border-controls, food regulations all those European rules will have to be replaced by specific conditions of interaction between the UK and the EU.

The only people benefiting from that will be the bureaucrats. They'll have a glorious decade awaiting them.

And since the UK import from the EU is much bigger than the export to the EU, life will become more expensive.

The two most swaying exit campaign platforms were funding of the NHS and stopping immigration, and officials have already backtracked on those campaign promises, seemingly leaving regretful voters to realize they voted based on lies. Politics is the same everywhere, regardless of hairstyles.

  The USA, the UK and Canada should now team up
   to create the Empire Union.  Just like the good old days!  :hyke:

This has shown me one thing.

The turkeys will vote for Christmas, if you drape the abattoir in Union Flags, and tell them that they won't have to share the slaughter truck with any foreign turkeys >:(

  That first phrase threw me off at first, since turkeys in the States are associated with Thanksgiving.  :asthing:

We don't have Thanksgiving. Turkey is our traditional Christmas meal.

"Turkeys voting for Christmas" is a common phrase in Britain. It never occurred to me that it wasn't used in America :laugh:
