The Supreme Court shoots down Obama's illegal immigrant protection bill (he wants to turn the USA into a welfare state) and then he tries to tell the UK what to do on the Brexit vote. How dare he tell them what to do. They gave the EU the boot. Then they gave Obama the boot. Obama and Hillary are completely disconnected from what is right and what the people want.
Is he outta office yet?

to answer the make America great again comments by TRUMP..
I think he purposely isn't defining it too specifically because he wants folks to define that in their OWN heads... It's whatever YOU want to believe it is...

I wonder how they will sort out the border and citizenship issues. I'm sure large numbers of people who are EU but not UK citizens have--quite legally--completely built their entire lives in England.

Well, the IRS will always come up with newer and faster ways to screw you.
After wading through the phone menu question and answer maze yesterday for
10 minutes the computer droid lady says
"We're too busy to actually help you, get phukked, buh-bye!".

Well, there is no EU law. There is just UK law as passed in accordance with EU agreements.
For immigration status to change, UK law would have to be amended. It's not clear expelling citizens of other EU states is in the interests of the U.K, anymore than having 2 million Brits return to England makes sense.
Then there is the issue of whether the Queen will need a visa to visit Balmoral should Scotland vote independent and EU.

Hey pyro, drumpf is vague and ambiguous because he doesn't have a clue how to " make America great again". Oh yeah, build a wall and ban Muslims from entering the country. Yeah, that ought to do it. Orange drumpf is full of sh#t and his followers have fully bought into it, regurgitating his non-ideas as if they are answers with substance.

Still not an answer. How is orange drumpf going to make America great again? By invading Syria? you going to head over and take down the regime, or will you be chilling on the beach?

Doh! She is the Queen of Scotland......
Check out 'The Union of the Crowns'. I doubt there's a contemporary Pretender in the wings, but we are in strange times...

And what will become of the Scots Guards when the barmy highlanders leave?
A name change or do they go to Edinburgh?

For those of you whose Californiacentric view pervades your thinking, the Brexit is probably just the tip of the iceberg. There are calls in the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Finland and---gasp--France for a way out of the EU. My recent trips to Europe showed a lot of discord there, and that was before the massive Muslim "refugee" crisis impacted them.
Europe was the cultural birthplace of most of our members here, and the current residents wish to preserve their heritage, not see it overwhelmed by an unassimilable horde.

A better question might be: why didn't the UK ever give the EU a real chance. They never fully integrated which made exiting more possible..

There is already a good deal of "Regrexit" in the UK. A petition to revote, with over 3 million signatures is in circulation.

That is a good question Pyro, great to have you jumping in to have a discussion on issues rather than just hollering about ideology
SAME TO YOU!
i am urging acceleration to put an electoral stake through their metaphorical hearts by seizing the rare opportunity that such a complete moron such as trump presents -the change to get a bunch of repubs on side to save capitalism from itself to address the legitimate grievances of hard-working honest people who to some extent have been disenfranchised by a game that favors guys like trump who rip off the working person and now purport to have their interests at heart. The chutzpah of the chump!

People don't vote by evidence they research but how they think the vote will affect their pocketbook. People vote with emotion, not evidence.
This is true from what I've seen. But many people equate this with ignorance and ambivalence. In the current elections, this is not true.
Britons were probably enticed into the clusterf*#k known as the EU, on mostly emotional grounds, with no guarantees of the future.
The only guarantee they had was that they're soveriegnty/power would be weighed in Belgium and Frankfurt (in ADDITION to London), and not simply reliant on their own fortitude.
The only guarantee they have now is, you get what Britain wants. Is that worse?
