re: [Update] The UK votes to leave the EU

My God the scaremongering is getting worse - now it's WWIII which will ensue if we dare to leave the EU.

Listening to the PM, he made such a powerful argument didn't he. It's just a pity he didn't make the same powerful and passionate argument to the Eurocrats he was supposedly trying to get a deal from. It strikes me that if they were so worried about impending doom, they'd have tried a lot harder to keep us in. Odd that they're so worried now...

I really didn't know the UK was so important. Not that long ago they likes of the French were telling us to stop the whining and get out if we don't like it. Now there's a good chance we're going to do just that, they're telling us the whole world depends on us staying in. They'll be telling us the ice caps will melt faster if we dare to leave next. It's really quite laughable. Clearly some very powerful people don't like the idea of strong, independent nations acting in their own interests. They'd far rather the many were subjugated by the few and IIRC that's what we were fighting about in WWII.

IMHO war in the EU is a lot more likely if the EU remains fixed on its current course, bludgeoning member states into doing what they're told with a big fat club made in Germany and wielded by Brussels.
