    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you and others like you have created this little xenophobic mess. their casualties in a much less stable post eu world is on your conscience. I'm hoping any such sacrifice has the noble side effect of ridding the world of some of the racist scum that voted brexit.

    not kidding, politics in my youth in Africa is beginning to look sentient compared to this brain-dead populist soap opera. it needs a good war with a few million casualties to focus minds.

    the elephant in the room, to state the obvious, is whether we revert to WTO rules (i.e. hard brexit). I suspect the electorate may not be that different from the business community in being in wait and see mode http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-37592866 with a submarine may hoping she can play...

    ah the English cultural tradition of prioritising form over function, much the way it prioritises shame over guilt, or preoccupies itself with the way things look rather than what they are, or what is true. it's what made slavery possible, much as it will brexit.
