Great Britain doesn’t want to pay the bill for the EU’s welfare state.

The U.S. markets will get back to normal in a few weeks. The UK will bounce back eventually. The big loser is the EU and the Euro. This will leave a mark. Will the Dutch leave? How much debt can Germany and France float Italy and Spain?

Recall, the markets were all upside down at the promise of the EU forming too.

Ahhh you know Ben that the markets hate uncertainty. Things will get better and quickly. At least for the U.S.

Maybe it's time for a long-needed market correction. The stock market is just WAY too high given current economic conditions.

The globalist have literally been threatening or attempting to extort the UK.

“”The Obama administration has warned British officials that if the UK leaves Europe it will exclude itself from a US-EU trade and investment partnership potentially worth hundreds of billions of pounds a year, and that it was very unlikely that Washington would make a separate deal with Britain.””

Britain is showing the world should no longer be ruled by old hippies who think it’s still 1974.

Viva 21st century!

This is very good news for England and Scotland.

The run-amok Islamicism and Islamic immigration, and EU intrusion into daily affairs and life management, was too much for the citizens to take any more.

Language, religion, customs: the culture has been assaulted and imperiled for decades. With the muzzification of Europe, this is the last stand fof redoubt for Britain.

We will hear much gnashing of banker and business teeth over the matter, but the truth is its a wonderful outcome for the people. There is great strength in sovereign rule over a country’s currency and customs.

I lived in London for 5 years, my two daughters were born there, and I have travelled there extensively for mainly work and pleasure for the last three decades. I am so happy for the British who are now escaping the EU tentacles. Switzerland never ceded over their sovereignty to the EU, and the main Swiss problem has been how to manage the relative strength of their currency and economy versus the EU. Britain will soon have the same issues.

Stupid Obama was all pro EU - oblivious to the economic, cultural and political destruction taking place in the UK. The British voted with their feet: a spectacular cry for freedom, no matter the short term price.

Instability of the EU is a pretty big deal. It will not be business as usual. Other nations may follow. The terms of Britain’s exit still need to be hashed out. The decisions in the next couple of weeks/months/years will be momentous for business.

Those NWO globalists won’t like this one bit. Soros is probably sending out an activist hit squad about now

Polling before the Brexit vote indicated that a majority in Sweden would themselves vote to leave the EU if Britain does. So, from an EU point of view, Britain has to suffer negative consequences, if only to dissuade other EU states from following their lead.

And for every door that the EU closes with Britain, it should be an opportunity for the US to strengthen our relationship. That is, so long as our next president doesn’t wear a pant suit.
