I clicked... then saw the headline of the article you posted.. and immediately clicked out.   As I've alluded to often in the American Politics Thread I am extremely picky in where my get my information, opinions and analysis and avoid like the plague obviously slanted or bias sources of information. That headline screamed.. axe to grind..  and I have no time for stuff like that. 

my opinion...  that is Britain's problem.. and likely the least of a good many problems they have to say nothing of Brexit and how they either implement the 'popular will' and not become a literal 3rd world nation, a vassal state beholden to its far more larger and powerful powers around it  or escape Brexit and political chaos that will likely result from giving a big middle finger to those that voted for it.




Probably one of the few pieces of insightful wisdom you've posted in years Clap

you've got some catching up to do then LOL

Thumbs Up  amen to that.  I really have become a stickler for objectivity in poltiical articles. Oh it does exist but one has to look for it. Most of the major media outlets it has become less about delivering the 'news' but more messages tailored to their audiences. Business and ratings matter more than delivering the 'news' per se.
Oh yeah FAUX is by far the worst and most notorious but they aren't alone. I didn't stay on the linked article for any longer than it took to see the headline but assume with that kind of lack of any even veneer of journalistic norms.. it probably was some article that some loser in mama's basement wrote. Oh sure Ompha loves his/her right wing stuff and throws it in any post they make.. but don't suspect there aren't more than few leftie wackos out there living in semi detached bubbles of the reality of their own choosings. Perhaps they are right on BJ's cast of carnies... but .. well.. hahah..  who really cares i guess. Look at our we have here...  sheesh..
