Brexit Vote Aftermath

[Phoenall]

New Yorkers can't stand Texans. So what?

One big difference is the mileage between New York and Texas and east and west Germany. Mind you after meeting you on this board I can now see why so many people hate italian americans even Italians and Americans

DISSING ENGLISH (NOT JUST ENGLAND) AT THE E.U.
The boundless arrogance of a Brussels big shot.
May 11, 2017

Bruce Bawer

Ever since the British electorate voted to bow out of the European Union, the hacks and mediocrities who run that power-obsessed, democracy-despising organization have been taking every opportunity, big and small, to diss the U.K. The latest insult came from Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, who in a speech to “diplomats and experts” in Florence proffered the snotty assertion that, thanks to Brexit, “English is losing importance in Europe.” He made that statement in English, but then, to underscore his point and enhance the snottiness quotient, switched into French.

Juncker called Brexit a tragedy. Yes, it's a tragedy for Juncker and other stuffed shirts whose collect a hefty paycheck, at the expense of European taxpayers, for doing little more than flying around the continent giving speeches to “diplomats and experts.” Of course, that's not all the EU does. At the lower levels of its EU hierarchy, sitting behind big desks in handsome offices in shiny, impressive buildings all over Brussels (and elsewhere), are innumerable unelected technocrats who earn huge sums to hold unnecessary meetings, write unnecessary reports, and impose restrictions on Europeans that are not only unnecessary but positively destructive of individual liberty, entrepreneurship, and economic prosperity. Brexit is a tragedy for all of these EU apparatchiks because it's the first step in a process that will almost certainly end with them having to look for a real job.

After Cameron resignation as British Prime Minister, the Brexit claimed its second victim today.

New U.K. leader shuts climate change department

British Prime Minister Theresa May has been facing criticism during her first few days in office over her decision to close the U.K. Department of Energy and Climate Change.

The closure was reported on Thursday, May's first full day in office after the departure of David Cameron.

This lady looks promising, who knows she might uncuck the UK after all.

The ostriches too afraid of reality burrow their heads deep in the sand. Bugwits unite.
