She's not a politician, has little political power and is largely ceremonial.



Britain is merely the first to leave the EU (not counting tiny Greenland in 1986). Other countries will soon follow. The EU's days are numbered. It is an empire whose time is over.
Well, nobody would understand that like a Brit.

When will you start killing the Bremainers, like you promised?

I love the memes:











Still a foreigner. And unelected.

And she's only your Head of State because you're allowing her to be - because most Canadians are monarchists.
************************************************

And in The Spectator yesterday, Fraser Nelson was telling us that the odds on Brexit were really low:

As Britain goes to the polls to vote on the EU Referendum, the odds on Brexit are plummeting – to a new low of 17 per cent at the time of writing.

This chimes with the opinion of everyone I’ve spoken to, in both Leave and Remain camps: there’s a chance of Brexit, but not much of a chance. Today’s YouGov poll shows the country evenly balanced, and we also know Leave voters are more likely to turn out than Remain. But then there’s the status quo bias: in referenda, voters are more likely to stick with the devil they know.

And what happened?

Leave: 52%
Remain: 48%

Margaret Hodge and Anne Coffey have submitted a no confidence motion in Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. It's all happening right now in this momentous day in British politics.

You're obviously a big fan of the undemocratic, unaccountable EU. So when are you going to try and force your Prime Minister to take Canada into it? When are you going to give up your sovereignty and have Canada ruled by unelected, unaccountable foreigners in Brussels?

The Scots ARE Brits.

And several times in recent General Elections has England voted for a Tory government but it ended up having a Labour government foisted upon it by Scotland. So it has been Scotland screwing England over in recent years. I think it's good for the tables to be turned.

Well Scotland is a part of the UK, and the UK voted to Leave. The Scots will just have to accept the result. London also voted to Remain, so do we give London an independence referendum?

And what if it had been England voting Remain and Scotland voting Leave, and those Scottish Leave votes were enough to take the UK out of the EU? Would England have been given an independence referendum?

Actually, I'm not a fan of it. Nor am I not, not a fan. If anything, I'm indifferent.

Just going by what my Brit friends are saying.

As for Scots being Brits... I don't think they all quite agree with that.

Big difference between London, and an entire country/culture of people like the Scots. But your ignorance is typical. Whatever.

Hard to say what England would have done in that instance Blackie. That said, IF it happened, and IF England wanted to part with Scotland... sure, I'd be for it.

I find it interesting already that the Lies are starting. UKIP's master is already having to scramble to explain himself.

What's done is done; my British friends don't like it and a lot of them are glad to be Ex-pats. Their friends responding are sad this happened for the most part (I've only seen one person who's been happy about it). It'll be interesting to see just how Britain fares.

Personally if it had been anyone else for the Leave side, I might be okay with it. But UKIP is a racist organization and nothing they've done really shows they are for the British at all, rather it's for themselves as a "White" group.

There will now be a Tory leadership contest with the winner replacing Cameron as Prime Minister. The results will likely be announced at the Tory Conference in October, with Cameron staying on until then.

Boris Johnson will almost certainly run in the contest - that's probably why he campaigned for Brexit, to try and get into Number 10 - and he'll be the favourite.

It was announced this morning that Education Secretary Nicky Morgan is considering running. So, too, might Home Secretary Theresa May and maybe Leave campaigner Michael Gove. Prominent Remain campaigner and Chancellor George Osborne had aspirations of being PM but I doubt he will consider running as he's now so unpopular amongst the mainly Be exits supporting Tories.

And Britain has voted, in a triumph of democracy, for Brexit. The result shall be respected.
As for Scots being Brits... I don't think they all quite agree with that.

No, the Scots are Brits, just as the English, Welsh, Northern Irish, Gibraltareans, Falkland Islanders, Bermudians etc are.
Big difference between London, and an entire country/culture of people like the Scots. But your ignorance is typical. Whatever.

And what difference is that? And remember that there are a lot more Londoners than there are Scots.
Hard to say what England would have done in that instance Blackie. That said, IF it happened, and IF England wanted to part with Scotland... sure, I'd be for it.

The Scots are going to have to accept the result, just as the English have to do when the Scots foist a Labour government onto them.

Do you realise that the Scots were told several times during their independence referendum campaign in 2014 that there is to be an EU referendum, yet they STILL voted Remain. They had the opportunity to leave the UK before this referendum yet they blew the chance. They now have to live with the consequences.
I find it interesting already that the Lies are starting. UKIP's master is already having to scramble to explain himself.

Give us an example of one of these "lies."
My British friends don't like it

Tough. They're obviously in the minority.


But UKIP is a racist organization

How? For wanting the same points-based immigration system that Canada and Australia have?

This vote for Brexit means that the UK now no longer needs to abide by EU free movement of people rules. Britain can now put in proper controls at her borders.
and nothing they've done really shows they are for the British at all, rather it's for themselves as a "White" group.

There's nothing wrong in having a party that sticks up for the white working classes. I'm proud that I live in a country whose white working class has just completely destroyed the anti-white working class Establishment. Britain has swept away all the Establishment filth and is about to get a Brexit government likely headed by Boris Johnson.

From Princess:

"He's another Remain traitor who will be hanged if (or when) Leave win."

When'll you get started on that, Princess?

We'll have to start it only after Britain has activated Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty and withdraws from the EU.

I don't understand how people keep falling for the anti-establishment or anti-elitism trick.

Aren't Donald Trump or Boris Johnson still elites?

You're still hiring one guy or a few people to do a job for an entire country.

You can't really consider both to be Establishment figures, especially Trump.

I'm really looking forward to the time when these two right-wingers are leaders of the US and UK. The world will be a much better place.

Funny but it seems all your British friends are living in Canada , Why is that ?

Nope, they just like having a pint and watching the football match down the local pub. No elite schools like Eton or Oxford or Wharton for them! Just reg'lar fellas.

Suckers fall for it every. . . damn. . . time.

And please don't think I'm exempting Murkins. Bush (Yale), Clinton (Yale), the list goes on and on.

Heck, Bush RENTED the cattle for his photo-op "ranch." Any cow Bush tried to actually care for'd be dead in a week.

The damage

Tokyo's Nikkei plunges almost 8 per cent
European markets bloodied
North America poised for ugly start
Pound touches lowest level in three decades
Bank of England pledges to protect financial system
G7 finance ministers, central bankers ready to act
Oil prices sink in fresh threat to Canada's economy
Loonie tumbles along with other currencies
The shocking results of the Brexit referendum have sparked a “bloodbath” across financial markets this morning,
Brexit fallout: Stocks, currencies bloodied, central banks on alert - The Globe and Mail

were is that godzilla cartoon again?
and
I wonder if swinging bankers will satisfy everyones bloodlust

"...Asian markets tumbled, European exchanges are in freefall and North America appears headed for an ugly open, after investors bid up stocks over the past few days in anticipation of a Remain vote..."
The short sellers win!

ah, Just like when the Rothschilds told the Brits Ol' Nappy had won and then bought up Britannia for pennies on the pound in the resulting panic...
