At the heart of the common sense information surrounding the Brexit vote a few ordinary and uncomfortable points continue to be avoided by the echo-chambered media elite who have retreated to their safe spaces:
♦ First Point – The U.K. was sending Brussels $500 million per week of their wealth to be redistributed to the lesser than affiliates. In essence, Classic Fabian/Socialist Economics: From each according to their ability – to each according to their need.
Simultaneously, to the parasitic withdrawal – inbound immigration was putting unsustainable financial strain on the social/societal welfare systems if the host.
♦ Second Point – Inbound, seemingly uncontrolled, mass immigration to the U.K. was twice the level of job creation in the same time period. That reality is unsustainable by any concept of societal economics. Obviously the displaced and impacted workers were/are the residents of the host country.
When you stand back and take a historical look at this EU construct, the Brexit vote is simply a predictable rebuke of the Fabian Socialist school of economics. However, that common sense practical acceptance doesn’t stop the academics born from the school of “World Citizenry” from continuing to look bewildered...

The fact that the elites are going so ape-excrement about this shows how important it is to them.
They always want to appeal to a higher power to get what they want. When there is no higher power, they invent one.
Eventually they get to a point where the higher power they’ve invented becomes too unstable to be sustained. Then it fragments.
I love watching the BBC acting like the MSM in the U.S.!
Have they invoked “climate change” yet?
No, they're still working the "racism" angle.
The entire scam was a massive wealth redistribution scheme. Isn’t that called COMMUNISM. “From each according to his ability, TO each according to his need!”
In 1978, we took the RV and the kids up to Plymouth to see my wife’s sister who lived there at the time. We visited Plymouth Plantation. During the tour, I was struck by the presence of fortified guard shacks in the town square and asked the guide if they were a last line of defense for the citizens there if trouble with the natives spilled into the compound.
He told us that they were for the control of the FOOD RIOTS which broke out those first few winters — BEFORE they wisely abandoned their clearly failed experiment with collectivism — before Marx was even born.
Graphic of the Week!
I hope they dump the metric system while they’re at it.
I love the imagery of this snippet:
“the dominant tone framed this as a blow against the enlightened “us” and the beautiful world we are building, struck by a plague of morlocks who had crawled out of their hellish subterranean world to attack our impending utopia.”
It is always so; the self-assumed pedestal of moral superiority of the leftist elite. It lets them call you a racist or just about anything else, because they always come from the notion that they and they alone are capable of understanding the big picture which [only] their own self-assumed superior intellect and moral authority grant them the right to impose. Indeed, we’re to think of ourselves as lucky we have them around to run our lives for us, because otherwise we would dissolve or morph into formless, purposeless protoplasm.
Sort of like if Trump were to pull the USA out of the UN. The squealing from the parasites would shake the very earth!
Britain pays 18.3billion £ each to help pay the bills each year but receives roughly half back through a rebate worked out by Margaret Thatcher. Poland seems to be the biggest mooch.
Lots of stompy foot goin’ on.
They won’t get it, ever. They can’t get it. To get it, they would have to reject everything about themselves and what they’ve believed their entire lives. It’s like asking a Muslim to reject Sharia...it will never happen.
WELL DONE!!
Yeah, that they're smart, and therefore virtuous.
It has been demonstrated over and over that those in positions of power will murder tens of millions of people rather than admit they were wrong and lose their cushy lifestyle.
“Have they invoked “climate change” yet?”
They’re still flogging the “Racists!” angle but yeah, that’s next.
