Until I read the OP I did not fully understand the situation...but Holy Cow I do now. Way to go UK! Hmmm...freedom to make own laws, freedom to close own borders, freedom to make own taxes (that don't pay for the failed state of welfare Greece) ..what is not to like. I bet this really pisses off the collectivists! And as far as the DOW etc dropping...hmmm...seems most investors did not see this coming and are invested in a system of finance that is now threatened and are selling off (losing value) in a system that now may tank...but under every drop is a good chance to invest. me, i'd be betting and investing in UK based homegrown industry and stock right now...if I had a red cent left over after federal and NY taxes!!!

It's early morning on 24th June 2015 and the British people have voted to leave the European Union by some 52 to 48% with a few results still to be declared. Thank God!

What many Accurate Shooter Forum members probably don't know is that US President Barack Obama visited us mid campaign and threated, yes, threatened, the people of the United Kingdom that if we left the EU, we'd be cast into darkness and should we want a trade deal with the US post Brexit, we'd be at the very back of the queue. Strange word, 'Queue'! As a number of people pointed out, Americans say 'line', so who told Mr. Prez to say 'queue'? Maybe, our own Prime Minister, David Cameron who called the referendum to save his own political skin then has worked tirelessly and dishonestly to get his own people to vote to stay in the failing, undemocratic and corrupt EU.

However, how come a US president came here not to advise us as a friend, not to pass on his great wisdom being the finest American of all time, but to threaten us of dire consequences if we left an organization that has removed around three-quarters of our freedom already and wants to remove 100% in the next few years- an organization that 90% plus of US citizens would reject out of hand should the same President Obama recommend to Americans as their governors, and 100% of this forum members given the latest EU gun control proposals is that replica muzzleloading firearms as used by re-enactment societies should be reclassified the same as self-loading rifles to protect us from terrorists, and basically wants all private ownership of firearms banned. I don't know a single UK shooting person who voted to stay in the EC.

So ... irrespective of how things turn out, please stand by us Brits as 'The Worldwide Establishment' will do everything in its power to crush this unexpected and completely 'mistaken' revolt by us stupid, uninformed, and ignorant British little people. As Bertold Brecht said of 1950s communist East Germany in his poem 'The Solution':

Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

Meanwhile, for any of you who drop into The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington D.C. – 20500, and know its occupant personally .............please, please thank your president for helping us UK Brexiteers as his intervention caused great resentment here and played a small but maybe significant part in persuading a majority of UK voters to leave the EU.

I watched it unfold over the last few months.
Stayed up almost all night and watched it live neat stuff.

Thanks Laurie you are spot on in your political leanings and thoughts as well as your most reasoned replies on topics of interest,you are trustworthy to speak the truth and I look forward to seeing you or your countrymen and women at next years f-class worlds as there may be 400 or more shooters who we share politics and a hobby with and that should be fun, no matter where you finish
Thanks for bringing clarity for those who have not had the time or inclination to follow this

If anyone needs a photo of "poster children" for term limits; look for photos of the dims sitting on the floor of the house of representatives. I wonder what the pewww rating is for those clowns?.

Ok, I like what the OP said but he lost me at the "Dissolve the people and elect a new one". I imagine he meant Government and not the people. Call me a nit picker and some will. But words have meaning in my world and I would rather they be correct, or I be corrected.

Would it not be easier

It's a play on words, no less regarding EAST Germany. Switching (the words) "government" with "people" would be what you would want however this poet had it dead on regarding EAST Germany.

 

[snert]

I think the poet, in obvious clarity, recognized the mindset of the collectivist when he indicated that "displeasure in how things are going" means it is time to "dissolve the people" (usually those who are discontent), rather than dissolve the government with which one is discontent.

More power to our brothers in the UK! Welcome back!

The news shows the pound has plunged to a 30 year low. Major manic taking place right now.

if you ever wanted to go shopping in London now is the best time

I think UK made a mistake. But most ppl are to stupid to know this. Guess some ppl need to find out things the hard way.

Hmmm...self-determination, national boundaries, powerful economy not bound so closely to free-loading cousins in Greece, able to say no to door-open immigration, aligning self with independent states...ya, sounds like a risky experiment that was only successful for 200 years on this side of the pond and some 400 on the other side. Ya, some people will never learn

I reckon I'm too stupid to understand your post. Do you think UK was mistaken for getting into the EU or getting out of it? Or, are "we" too stupid to know what you think?

Congratulations from Texas. We are happy you all were able to break the bonds. I am thinking that it's only a matter of time before the dam breaks and the EU is dissolved.

It may be a rocky start but it will work out well. First we have to get rid of our unholy monarch. You see we too are held in bondage.

I just hope we are able to keep the dead in the cemeteries and out of the voting booths this election.

Why anyone would think the EU would work is beyond me.

It's what's called a FAILED attempt at Socialism. But just look at all the Bernie Sanders followers. They were and still are trying to convince people in our country of the usefulness of their program. These same clowns voted for the great Black Prince presently in the White House. Just maybe, a majority in this nation will MAYBE start to understand how destructive the liberal Socialists are and sadly, many will now pay a heavy price for that lesson. Way to go UK!

We in the UK appreciate your concerns and comments which are always welcome, but we will take our chances and believe me it will all turn out for the best for us idiots/stupid people. I do believe that the £ has rallied and you can bet your rats ass within the next month it will be as though nothing has happened in the financial world and all will be well. No one will die and our children will not be impoverished and sold into slavery. God bless the US of A and the UK. PS. Come shopping and buy some good cheap stuff!

"A rocky start" will only be the "growing pains". In every revolution there is upheaval AT FIRST. However, as the people gain back their country, and the dust settles, things get better>>>a lot better. It is fortunate that someone fomented that vision of a renewed nation, and was able to convey that into the peoples hearts. And it worked! I guarantee you "their" equivalent of "The Establishment" did not want it. It would have (and will eventually) ruin the gravy train they were on. The exact same reason in OUR country "The Establishment" does not want Trump! But "WE THE PEOPLE" will prevail!

A vote for Gary Johnson is a vote for Hillary Clinton because he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the presidency.

A vote for Gary Johnson is a vote for Hillary Clinton because he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the presidency.

By that logic, a vote for Trump is also a vote for Hillary Clinton.

Since there is only Trump and Clinton, and both are votes for Clinton, that means she will be the first President in U.S. history to win 100% of the vote.

The people of the UK are far from idiots. It is evident to me they are among the smartest. Far smarter than many here in the US.

You sound exactly like a Hillary supporter...No sense
