Big doings...

"After Britain's historic vote to leave the European Union, there is no indication that a so-called Brexit will happen soon. It maybe never will."

Question: Is Boris just a git?

I don't think so, undoubtedly an intelligent guy, but why project the buffoon public image? He's definitely not your traditional politician.

"But officials of the Leave campaign - including former London mayor Boris Johnson - are stepping on the brakes. They say they want to negotiate Britain's post-Brexit relationship with the EU before formally pulling the trigger to divorce."

Uh, gee, maybe that was something to consider and negotiate before you ran off half-cocked?

I doubt whether many leave voters considered the consequences. This was a campaign run on rampant nationalism, and fuelled by stoking fears of being overrun by immigrants. There was scare mongering on BOTH sides.
But nobody seems to be in any rush to pull the trigger of Article 50.

Crazy times.

Crazy to put this to the general public in the first place.

Here's something I saw on FB, and as the Brexit crew don't seem to have any kind of plan, it's the best I've seen..

Someone far cleverer than me, pretty much summed up my mode at the moment..... not really sure I have anything more helpful to say....


"How did you vote?" said Pooh.

"Leave," said Piglet.

"I voted remain," said Pooh.

"Are we still friends?" said Piglet.

"Well to be honest, I'm not really sure" said Pooh, uncharacteristically thoughtfully. "

And the text goes on.... I originally posted all of the text that I'd read... But an excellent forum member below had a link to a much better version. It's pretty much the same text... But read that version instead. And reading the one I've just edited out of this would just be a spoiler...

And we allowed people like this to vote. I expect they wish for some programme of ethnic cleansing to now start.

I tend to like the version on the image a bit better since it helps visualize these characters. It also omits your tag line, which I also prefer. I also think Jennie Stevenson, who penned the thoughtful dialogue, didn't have that tag in the original.

Agree 100%... I told you it was someone more clever than me, who wrote it. And Jennie Stevenson definitely deserves the credit for this... Thank you for posting this, as it is the better version for the reasons you've said.

(Agree, I again about the tag on the end... I was quoting from someone else's FB post and didn't want to edit the text from who I thought posted it.... )
