So, Brexit.
So, the UK has vote to leave the EU. And it’s all gone to shit already, quite predictably. To recap:
- Our currency has tanked
- Our Prime Minister has resigned
- The leaders of Leave admit they don’t have a plan
- It turns out that many voters didn’t actually know WHAT it was they were voting for, and subsequently want to reverse their vote.
On the plus side, it DOES look like it may boost efforts for Scottish independence. Informal foreign relations are being established, No voters are turning Yes… Shame an economy had to be tanked along the way, though.
Interesting times, my friends, interesting times.

Damn looks like it’s going downhill for UK
And how – There’s talk of ignoring the referendum result, but that’s just going to stoke the fires of the Leavers. I reckon the best bet (for us, anyway) is for Scotland to ride the surge of converted No voters, negotiate separately with the EU, and become independent. The First Minister, I think, is doing a good job in showing leadership so far. Hell, we had a damn fine speech today from Alyn Smith in the European Parliament: “Scotland did not let you down… Do not let Scotland down.” Followed by that muppet Farage pissing off all the other MEPs.
The worst thing about all of this is the surge of confidence it has given racists, fascists, and other douchbags. Seems to be worst in England so far, but Scotland has not been immune to it. Immigrants should be welcomed for the contribution they make, not vilified as some sort of boogieman.
