| The rebellion is real. The New York Times reports that Britain has voted to leave the European Union by a 52 to 48 margin. The significance of the event can hardly be overstated. The biggest political project of the post-Cold War world, involving an economy collectively as large as the United States, has suddenly been thrown into reverse. ...For the second time in 80 years that little Island has bought the world a space in which others could rediscover their own hardihood. And rediscover it doubtless they will, as the New World did of old. Today the Brexit rebellion showed that daring could prevail against bullying, truth could win against prestige, plain speech could trump celebrity and long odds were vincible provided you never, never gave in. |

| #4 theres the gist of the problem right there! Entitled urbnanites imagining that their "world" is the only and biggest "world" on earth, therefore they can tell us all what to do as if from a lofty pulpit. the reality is a bit further from their imagined ideal, for instance, starbucks doest work without product from the rural environs, ie : coffee beans and wheat for all those expensive and absolutely necessary eatables, that all the others seem to be having, urban sheeple are on the way outit seems while real people are on their way back in. |

| #3 @#2: London not so much: Londoners call for capital to break away from the rest of Britain following Brexit vote "More than 2.2million London voters backed Remain compared to 1.5million in favour of Leave. The Leave vote hit the City of London particularly hard as a day of horror saw billions wiped off FTSE 100 shares. Frustrated Londoners have now taken to social media to ask London mayor Sadiq Khan to declare the city independent from the rest of the UK and stay in the EU." |
