    It's also possible that the UK would fragment because some part of it would want to enter into the EU again on its own.

    Scotland likely to seek independence after EU vote, first minister says

    It is related to the vote but not sure if it's because they want to enter the EU again. Didn't real the story.

    One of the popular slogans was that we "spend £350m/week on the EU - we could spend that money on the NHS instead!" RUBBISH. But people believe it.
    Sounds strangely familiar.

    If all of the liberals all over the world are upset about it, then you can be sure that so is the devil.

    What the UK has done today portends to what will happen in the USA this fall. Great Britain has strongly voted for "Nationalism instead of Globalism". That movement is rolling like the sea here in the USA. Trump will articulate the principles of this movement here in the USA. Even though I am not planning on voting for Trump, I predict, on the basis of what we are seeing in the UK, that Trump will win the presidency this Fall. Those who promote the US coming under the UN will be rejected by the voters. Socialism and the Obama efforts to align the US with the EU will fail big time this Fall, I predict. This VOTE in the UK is HUGE. Think about this point; for about 20 years, the radical Islamic movements have grown and done all they can do to influence and literally change the western nations including Europe, England and the USA. Russia and China has properly stood against the Islamic movement. Western Civilization has not stood up to it. Now, the U.K. Is saying, "We will protect our nation" and allow others to do what they want." Now, the USA will reject "Obamaism" and "Clintonism" and will follow Trump into a new era.

    I believe the Scots voted about a year ago to say in the UK, but the vote result was close. My understanding is that there has been a sharp political divide between Scotland and England since the days of Thatcher.

    That's way too simplistic. It's like saying that liberals like food so therefore food is of the devil.

    Monk, what did you think were the good points and benefits for remaining in the EU?

    Nah. It doesn't have to be complicated.

    They are really, really upset.

    Brexit and the movement that it is a part of, throws a big wrench in the socialist plans of man, apart from God.

    Do you think that God is behind all of the open borders and Muslim influx and influence in Europe?

    Do you think that anything about an godless unelected bureaucratic bodies trying to control the people and direction and economies of Europe is a good thing?

    Do you think that staying hooked up with, and under, that system is a good thing?

    It not to hard to see all of the various trends and ideas that the enemy (satan, the Defeated one) is pushing.


    I don't know, you live there and I don't, but it looks pretty clear to me.

    World events are changing rapidly and unpredictably and we are ever so much nearer to His Return than ever before.

    No problems, no argument, just my .02

    You just gave a bunch of reasons why, beyond that liberals are fond of it. Which is way different to simply painting everything black or white. Maybe you are right, maybe you are going too far.
