Rob do you never think that possibly globalisation is one of the major causes of all the strife around the world currently, something is seriously wrong with the world at the moment and i'm sorry but Brexit is a symptom along with Trump's Presidential victory and Le Pens popularity, they are not the cause.
As for the rest of it, it's definitely not as cut and dried as the liberal press make out!
Until the socio-political elite start asking why people are so pissed off we are going to continue in a destructive downward spiral and the way things are heading across Europe at the moment i'd rather be an isolated island off the coast than slap bang in the middle of the shit hitting the fan. So many many people across Europe are upset with their governments there may eventually be social insurrection, especially with the additional demands being made on some countries by Fuhrer Merkel and her lapdog Juncker, if that happens the EU will be in serious trouble.
Not sure whether people are aware but a couple of Germans were arrested yesterday for stock piling weapons and explosives, one of them an army officer. An isolated incident for the moment but will this sort of thing continue to be?
We are very lucky here in the UK, most can live in blissful ignorance of whats really happening in the rest of Europe, but rather than reading the British press which is very liberal biased or raving pro-right wing you need to start reading local European press from other countries to get a real impression of how the situation is elsewhere. It's not all as rosy as the Guardian, the BBC etc like to make it out to be
