There’s going to be utter rage against this among those who “know better’
~~~~~~~~
Yep. Dangerous times.

I’m still not going to believe Brexit won til all the votes are counted. No sleep tonight.

BTW... for all:

A guest on with Stuart Varney is commenting on the drop of the pound against the $. Started off today at 1.50 and has now dropped to 1.34.

“It’s extraordinary. I don’t think we have seen anything like that for decades, if ever...or since Britain left the exchange-rate mechanism in 1992.”

Germany opening the doors and ALL H#ll broke loose!

Exactly correct, if Merkel had not open Europe to invasion from the middle east and north africa the results tonight would be very different.

Watching the returns and for whatever reason I just happened to be thinking of The Napoleon of Notting Hill, so your Chesterton poem was right on time for me.

"Only feeling, sire," answered the Provost. "I was born, like other men, in a spot of the earth which I loved because I had played boys' games there, and fallen in love, and talked with my friends through nights that were nights of the gods. And I feel the riddle. These little gardens where we told our loves. These streets where we brought out our dead. Why should they be commonplace? Why should they be absurd? Why should it be grotesque to say that a pillar-box is poetic when for a year I could not see a red pillar-box against the yellow evening in a certain street without being wracked with something of which God keeps the secret, but which is stronger than sorrow or joy? Why should any one be able to raise a laugh by saying 'the Cause of Notting Hill'?—Notting Hill where thousands of immortal spirits blaze with alternate hope and fear."

I think ‘The Donkey’ bears out for me Robert Graves’ notion that a ‘true poem’ should send a shiver down your spine ;-)

As English poems go, I also love ‘Pied Beauty’, by Gerard Manley Hopkins. (I don’t think that there is a more beautiful and expressive language on Earth, than English):

> Politicians who ignore the will of the people commit political suicide.

You would think so, but nobody lost their seat over TARP.

Right. Boiling down to jobs, sovereignty, immigration, security, edicts by external forces, out of touch leaders... hmmm, where have I heard of similar complaints by a people?

My friend Eunice is furious about all the Muslims there in England and she wants it to stop!

She's upset over the lack of jobs, no farms growing food anywhere in her area of the country. Companies have closed the doors. It took 5 years for her to see a dentist.

“Politicians who ignore the will of the people commit political suicide.”

Our politicians think it is normal

So much for the polls from two weeks ago. Historic night for the world and Trumpmania.
