Is it a revolt against Globalization? I sure as hell hope so because Globalization's sole function was to keep the working class in its place (whatever that is) and take away all sense of nationhood. Many speak of nationhood as if it was a bad thing. Well it was a damn good thing in September 1939. It kept a people fighting long after many had thought they were finished.

The EU was possibly a good idea in the beginning but in execution it failed miserably simply because it refused to evolve. Is Brexit the beginning of this evolution? One can but devoutly hope it is.

We have the regressives already doing that here with reversal of progressive policies.

This ought to be interesting, Boris Johnson named Foreign Secretary.

May doubtless likes the idea of being able to send him out of the country on long trips.

Ha I knew about May being PM before the news hit here as I had an email from my cousin in England

I understand he'll be spending his first year in this office flying around apologizing to everyone he's insulted.

I doubt he will apologize to Erdogan.

Maybe when he visits France, he can get himself a decent haircut from Hollande's $10k/month hairdresser.

Three quarters of Mays cabinet are all for staying in the EU. I can see us when we are finally out keeping most of the EU laws and regulations.

It will be interesting hearing from someone who is living the life rather than speculation.
