Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Only 51.9% voted to leave hardly overwhelming. There were several news articles on this on Friday that Britons were Googling "what it means to leave the EU" because most of then who voted leave had no idea what they were voting for.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
I think it bears repeating (no pun intended) that the Brexit vote was a NON-BINDING REFERENDUM... much to the parallel of how American Presidential primaries are NON-BINDING REFERENDUMS.Populist angst only goes so far before the big boys and girls have to put their earmuffs on and get the job done. The only difference is that the Brits have the bangers and bristols to put their political careers on the line in order to do the right thing... on this side of the pond, Congress is bent as a nine-bob and hasn't the trousers to go with their mouth because they're not going to muck about with reality when they need to be willy-waving for their next bung and queering the pitch from the other side of the aisle. So it's sod off to the people because they're no more than scallys and scrubbers who think Congress is a bunch of jacked up tossers who doesn't know it's onions and has made a pig's ear of the country.In before the bang.
The PM resigned, half the shadow cabinet has resigned. This is the first time in the hundreds of years of parliamentary rule in the UK both major political parties been in such turmoil at the same time. Markets around the world are crashing. If only everyone realized that none of this counts it would all go away.It's over and BRexit won. BRexit is happening and the only thing that is more dangerous than BRexit itself is this kind of talk that the vote does not count, The "let's ignore the will of the people" talk is what will lead to revolution, not BRexit.
As a group, people generally aren't as stupid as you make them out to be. Furthermore, you say "because" but can you be so sure Britons' mass ignorance was the cause for the uptick in google searches for "what it means to leave the EU?" Anyway, when you break down the numbers by nation within the UK, Scots overwhelmingly voted to stay, while the English voted to leave by a six-point margin (and that's including London).
It's not the will of the people though. It's the will of those who will be dead in the next 10-20 years, which frankly, shouldn't count.
no problems-this is a new endeavor for us. i built a 12,000 sq. ft bldg. in 2003) we use half for my dental ofc. and my brothers accounting business. so that left about 6,000sq. ft vacant. our intentions were to turn it into more office space. well, over the years, we had quite a few hits, all misses and then the economy chit out in 2008-09...my builder suggested self storage a few years ago and i laughed. well here we are. i was driving around one day and saw this beautiful indoor, climate controled self storage facility-BANGO! if you go to a self storage blog, it's a whole different world. my facility is relatively small(35 units) by industry standards, but i just want to get some cash flow going. btw, i am about a month away from opening. anyway, there are waiting lists for these, especially the indoor climate controled ones. i have another acre plus just outside and that may become phase II and have 60 or so more units. i have a 500 unit apartment complex across the street from me. self-storage has become a must-have for apartment dwellers, college students in transition, movers in transition, art, guns, motorcycles, snowmobiles, we have our township needing climate controll to store/archive hard copy stuff goingback years. if you need storage, you don't need advertizing other than a web site and word of mouth. the facility will be practically self run except for those who want a tour. everything else can be done online. i can monitor the facitlity from my phone of i-pad. everyone, and mean EVERYONE i talk to say they cannot build these fast enough. if you visit inside self storage, you will be amazed of how omnipresent this is
Eh, not worth it
Bravo for stupidity.How about a 3/5th vote compromise. Those older than 45 your vote means less. /sAfter all, the wisdom of 18 to 24 year olds like yourself is so on target.Hey, while we are at it those that don't pay taxes their votes shouldn't count either.
You do realize that Brexit would very likely have failed if younger people had gotten out and voted, right? Per the Financial Times, approximately 65% of 30-year old eligible people voted, while approximately 80% of eligible 50-year old eligible people voted. http://blogs.ft.com/ftdata/2016/06/24/brexit-demographic-divide-eu-referendum-results/Given that more young people voted "Remain," the results would likely have been different if more 18-35 year olds just voted.
A couple million people have already signed an online petition requesting a revote. That number is the largest in UK history, and is growing by the hour as people realize that neither the ruling nor opposition parties have a clue what to do next. (This cluelessness was even admitted by a member of Parliament who voted in favor of the Brexit.) Anyhow, Parliament is required to debate any online petition that gets at least 100,000 signatures, so the will of the people who have signed this petition will be considered by Parliament. And by the time Parliament gets to the debate, the petition might just very well have more signatures than there were votes in favor of Brexit.Like you said - the will of the people.
Cameron spoke today....
Whoops.http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36634407Its inquiry is focused on the possibility that some names could be fraudulent - 77,000 signatures have already been removed.More than 3.2 million signatures are on the petition, but PM David Cameron has said there will be no second vote.From other sources, there were North Koreans who somehow managed to sign that petition, 39k people from the Vatican (pop of ~800), and Napoleon Bonaparte also managed to sign the petition.Yeah.
