Three days ago I posted in the UK thread........ "The French will not want anything to do with a fresh deal.......they seem to be relishing punishing us, and hoping the Germans will be pleased if they need someone to play good cop, bad cop."
I have just heard talking heads on SKY News say, "I see this is starting to look like Jean-Claude Juncker is playing bad cop, to Angela Merkel's good cop."
Oh boy....... they got someone. Not French, but he'll do.
The "England" part of the UK built a lot of infrastructure. A "leave" vote of these areas will be a lot more complicated as England sure isn't giving away the infrastructure for free.

Thanks for posting, I did find it interesting. I also thought it sounded very familiar.
London is a Bubble & so is Washington D.C.
Those 10 interviews reflect a FED-UP society that has been ignored for too long. They have a lot of resentment over the Political Elite talking down to them or ignoring them.
There are seventeen and a half million of us who are grateful.
I would think that the win to leave the EU will hurt the younger working class the most. Weren't they allowed to live and work in 27 other countries? Basically, it limits their opportunities. That can't be good.

You are right we are fed up. If you look at the voting map of Britain for the EU referendum, the vast majority of England and Wales voted to leave the EU. Scotland and parts of London voted to remain.
We have been talked down to, and told to shut up for decades. Racists has been a favourite word used. If we expressed concern for our towns and cities being invaded by foreigners, for our schools being overwhelmed with immigrants children unable to speak English, worries for lack of housing, and soaring rents, fighting for minimum wage jobs, we were were called backward, and racist.
Well the brave new world seems just fine for the elite, for the working class, not so much. Well, we got a vote, and told them we don't want this situation to continue. The rottenness of the system has been revealed for all to see. A government frozen, not knowing what to do, and the opposition, supposing to be ready to form a government if necessary, in turmoil. So far today, Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour party leader, has had eight resignations from his shadow cabinet. They refuse to work with him any more, but he humself refuses to resign. The whole political system of England has practically collapsed. The whole stinking system has been revealed for what it is.
Now, I feel an attempt is going to be made to refuse to accept the result of the referendum. A vote by the people, won by a majority of one and a half million votes. Well, the political elite is going to be in for a shock if they try this.
This is the map showing the overwhelming victory for the leave vote in England.......
