    ^^^
    The EU agreed a €500 billion bailout fund last night which does indeed replicate the mistakes of the past decade. It's early yet, but this is not a good sign.

    It maybe easier for us Yanks to get out from under Trump than for Brits to get out from under Brexit.

    I am thinking the EU could use brexit to solve some of their problems with radical right wing people. You could have a big invite to all those people and then go all escape from the UK by trapping all the horrors of humanity on the island.

    Just a thought.

    You remember the plot of Johnny English? I barely remember that Natalie Imbuglia was in it.

    Even people in the know have no idea how this is going to work. Our entire platform needs to be reconfigured. If the vendor is in England and sending goods to somewhere else in England, all is cool. BUT, if the vendor is in Northern Ireland ... taxes .... tarriffs ... imports ... exports ...

    Why does NI have to be so damn difficult?

    Does Brexit make an independent Scotland more likely or less likely in the future, do you think?

    Very much more likely. The Scots want to rejoin the EU. Although Spain would try to make it difficult as they have their own problems with seperatism and don't want to create a precedent.
