When your world view is formed by fringe conspiracy blogs, maybe it would be a sign to consider if the problem is in fact you and not everyone else.

So, this begs the question: Where do you go for reliable news reporting?

Obviously they all have bias. If you cant see through it, well then you are a tool.

Soon after the vote...maybe a few months, I felt that they weren't going to get their Brexit. March 2019 seemed so far off, and it wasn't looking good, even way back in the beginning right after the vote. I would have been shocked, (would still be shocked), if they actually got what the majority voted for.

I think the UK is being screwed over, and I'm wondering how long until the "stiff upper lip" Brits rise up against this betrayal.

Britain has not been conquered in almost 1000 years. It's the only European country that can realistically go it alone. "Splendid isolation" was British policy for centuries and it worked out quite well for them.

Long story short, they're literally an island unlike the rest of Europe, and that gives them more autonomy than others.

I wish I knew how to post cartoons but my Brexit friend sent me one from The Telegraph by their resident political cartoonist, Matt. It showed a disheveled man in the street holding a large placard as people around him ran away in terror. The placard read:


BREXIT
THE END ISN'T NIGH

Sorry, but to me, anyone who lumps PBS together with Fox - they're totally lacking in judgment.

Once again The Brexit Betrayal rally has given us the opportunity to expose the lies of the mainstream media.

Another shock - Trumpism isn't going to work, even in the UK after a similar guy with orangy hair and russians financed the vote.

Color me surprised. If we are in decline (as most seem to agree), the Brits are pretty much out of the picture. It takes a big ego for them to think they can stand alone...i.e. Nationalist.
