I'll repeat what I've already posted elsewhere: Talking of Brexit, have you perhaps watched the documentary The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire on Netflix?

It seems, to me at least, to put the Brexit hurry in a whole new perspective.

> In 2015 Cameron started to prepared the 23 June 2016 referendum.
The rest is history. The timing fits perfectly and so do the real stakes: billions of them.
My impression is that Brexit was never ever about Britain. It was all about the City wanting to keep her secrete banking rights. Which the ECB, in time, surely would have dismantled, hence the hurried exit.
I feel sorry for the gullible Brits. Their elites have, as usual. s****ed them again. They should have learned from the French. There is a very good reason why the 14th of July is a national holiday there. I don't see the 31 of January 2020 ever receiving the same respect. Perhaps some chaps in a pub in the City will cheers on the 31st on their close call and victory over the masses they call Muppets. Malleable Muppets.
