I was Born in the UK , to parents and siblings all born in the Republic of Ireland. I was sent to school in Dublin and then served an apprenticeship, before returning to the UK where I lived until 2008. I consider myself Irish and have never supported England/Britain in any sport, but I have always had a sincere admiration for the British spirit........until recently.
I have been back to blighty a number of times since I moved to NZ and have watched from afar, aghast at what is happening to a Nation that used to be admired by all others. The Brexit vote had little to do with the EU, but was more of a generational declaration of war on what was rightly conceived as broken political system........in part caused by Banks being bailed out and Pensioners receiving little benefit from the savings they had worked hard for......it was a brilliant piece of marketing, in that somehow, Muslims and Immigrant workers, along with imaginary refugees took the blame for Goldman Sachs & Lehman Bros et al butchering the markets in 2008.......
......but the saddest part is that not one of those people who voted for Brexit will admit they were duped. Why? Because they don't believe they were....they still believe that 1,000,000 polish electricians are to blame for their 1% return on their savings, the freezing of their pensions and the NHS not giving them all the care and meds they need.........
....and the result is, Boris will be elected PM by 150,000 daily Mail readers.
To be clear.......Boris is a fate worse than Trump.....and believe me, the Americns have just show Britain who is the bitch in their special relationship.
Good luck....I feel you're really going to need it.

This is one of the rare occasions i completely agree with CMG. We are in a complete mess and about to elect an absolute baboon who is completely in Trumps pocket.
