All the media coverage is in hysterics about economics, markets & trade - not a peep about
freedom or
liberty. The European (Soviet) Union managed to prevail where the Third Reich failed - creating a central-controlled fascist state that rules by decree. Right now the fascists are reeling, stunned that the slaves dared to defy them, but they will regroup and pull out some scheme to quash this Brexit stuff, which will only make things worse. Then they're going to have to make choices as to how far they are willing to go to maintain control over their realm.
