Brexit is the closest the UK has come to breaking up since they became the UK.Deflections by Trump and Barr to CYA are absolutely irrelevent.

To answer your question, no, I'm not easily fooled.

About the worst I can recall.

Her replacement faces a tough transition.

I don't expect as a United States citizen I would have a reputable opinion on a Prime Minister from England so I really do not know.

Here's the typical attitude of the elites in the EU. Eurotrash each and every one of them. Go, Brexit, go!

Quote:
Outgoing President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker has railed against populists and nationalists for being patriotic.

During an interview with CNN on Brexit and the European Parliament elections, Mr Juncker criticised “stupid” people who prefer their own countries over a progressive supranational project like the EU and its pro-open borders policies.

“These populist, nationalists, stupid nationalists, they are in love with their own countries and they don’t like the others,” President Juncker told CNN in his Brussels office.

In comments likely alluding to eastern European nations like Hungary and Poland, which reject mass migration from the third world, the Luxembourger continued: “In some countries in the European Union, some governments, some parliaments, the major part of society don’t like those coming from far away.

“I do like those coming from far away because the main guiding principle of the European Union should be solidarity.

“We have to act in solidarity with those who are in a worse situation than we are in,” he said, using the word “solidarity” often invoked by EU leaders when Brussels attempts to force mass migration on its members.

So yeah... what are you talking about? Or perhaps since you seem know how I feel about this perhaps you could enlighten me? I thought I was largely indifferent but I guess that was wrong.

That said... I don't think you nor fast really understand the meaning of the article he linked...

he goes from one sentence lecturing me for presuming to know what he feels, to then presuming I don't understand the meaning of the article, based on ZERO evidence. ****in' arrogance on this one is STRONG.

Cool story bro. We can troll each other 'til the cows come home.
