England voted yesterday in favor of freedom of choice, in favor of self rule, of sovereignty.
"England"???
You realize that the *United Kingdom* is a multi-cultural state that once was the greatest empire in the world.
The Brits want their borders back, their national identity.
"their borders"???
You realize the Brits went out to expand their borders and all the inhabitants of these colonies became members of the UK....
Have you ever been to London? You see people of all color there - they all carry a passport of said nation making them all officially englishmen. The inhabitants of London are great pluralistic tolerant modern people. Just like London once was the greatest city on earth and their fleet dominated all the 7 seas for a very good reason - the borders of the UK spanned half around the globe.
What are you talking about? You project your own inferior nationalistic motives at these great people? The Brits want outta the EU because they actually don't need it - they have been the most rich member of the EU and can easily do on their own. Likewise Norway, Switzerland and some other minor states don't wanna join - they all share a common mark: each of them is richer than every single EU member. Because inside the EU solidarity is a rule: the rich pay for/build up the poor.
With the Brits gone now Germany is once again the indisputable driving factor of the central European homeland, like we've been for more than a thousand years. It was us that carried largely the Ethos of the West through the dark ages being the successor of the Roman Empire, which, in turn, have been the successor of the Greek Empire, which, in turn, where the conquerors & successors of ancient Egypt, Persia, even India (you realize what "Indo-German" means...?) and places where now the great folk of the Turks later emerged.
Isnt America allied with Israel? What do you think where Christianity stems from? All that heritage, even the arts that later got known as "science" - has been transported throughout the cultures of the aforementioned great empires to later form "the West" which would later dominate most of the world.
Without that, the United States would have never been formed. Show some respect. You are pointing fingers at your own roots...
so we can start trading with you
so finally the englishmen get to drink some Coca Cola! its almost comedy... as if we already aren't trading with each and every one of us (except for a few totalitairian states...)
