Dadgum Brexit. I was one page away from winning a free lunch. Guess I'll set my pup tent up in Campus Martius and hope someone takes me to Lafayette Coney Island.

As for Frankfurt or Paris becoming the financial centre, I'm not so sure. London is not only the multi-currency financial centre of the world, it's also a brilliant place to live and work, a fact reflected by the cosmopolitan nature of the city.

i don't think cameron understood the migrant effect on the people in england.refugee and job seekers from failed eu members and Brussels dictating behavior.they had enough.i don't think it is a realy complex geopolitical reason i think it is basic human desires of some self determination,and i don't think the results will be as overwhelming as the pundant are saying.

It is a brilliant place to live and work, Tim, attracting young people from all over the world. I have two friends with Thomson Reuters and Bloomberg in London visiting our home right now and a granddaughter is there doing wonderfully. They say London's financial infrastructure is so deeply rooted that going elsewhere will take years.

I think you're close for a short post, except trying as hard as I may, I can't find anything good coming from it for the UK.

On the day of the vote my son was in Washington DC having an ogle at the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence. He was suitably agog at the importance of those two documents.

Long live the Anglosphere!

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,--
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

All the best to the Brits!

The EUSSR is a german owned undemocratic, dictatorial monster. Here in Ireland, we were asked to vote in a referendum on the Lisbon treaty about eight years ago, we voted no. We were then told by the EU that we would have to vote again as no was the wrong answer. We were also told that we would have to continue to hold referendums until we gave a yes vote. Democratic ?

What is also scaring people is the possibility of Turkey getting in. The turks wanted and were demanding one million EU visa's for its citizens for its handling of the Syrian refugees. So thats one million muslim turks and one million syrian refugees (allowed in by Angela Merkel). We are told by people like Peter Sutherland (ex-goldman sachs bagman) that the Eu should "undermine national Homogenity in member states, enforcing multiculturalism if those countries want it or not.

Fingers crossed this is the beginning of the end of this rotten empire.

There's a silver lining. If we can't trust the people's vote, there's gotta be three or four progressive acedemics that can take this to court and have it nullified. You'd think the one world court is stacked towards the village? I'm glad you don't have to listen to brussels sprout up about how to pulp timber.
