  1. “… Britain’s intention to leave the bloc, sending her country into uncharted waters.”

    Those waters were charted around 2000 years ago.

    izlamo delenda est …

  2. Leaving the EU sounds a lot like Ryan’s Obamacare replacement which calls for Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3….and maybe it’ll happen.
    In the end they’ll create a whole new effort to keep Britain in the EU and Ryan will have a new government run healthcare system at twice the cost.

    When Britain voted for Brexit and TRUMP clearly stated “REPEAL”…. Just do it, EXIT the EU and REPEAL Obamacare.

    Don’t blow smoke up our collective asses for years to implement what was promised and is the will of the people !
