Very interesting. Thanks for posting. The one thing he doesn’t touch on is how climate change will effect the world order.

Germany potentially suffering a 3/4 reduction in their standard of living sure doesn’t bode well for the world order.

I was thinking the same thing when I was watching the video. This article published yesterday has a map showing the estimated economic damage due to climate change to various countries around the world:

There is a glaring oddity from our politicians and the Prime Minister's party. There are a lot of them in the Conservative Party making anti-May directions but the very obvious daftness is that is the MP corner of the main parties who have madxe a nightmare of the whole damn thing. No unified voice from either of the two main parties and their MP's and the media going on about the anti-May sniping when it is the members of parliament who have to vote and make a decision. Whatever complications with the PM it is definitely the Commons itself which is the damnable convicted stance.

Boston, Lincolnshire. The most Brexity town in England. I felt very uncomfortable and didn't stay long. Ironically, it was the non British people that I didn't feel at all intimidated of.

Thanks for sharing that with us.
It seems as a result the only thing to do now is give up Brexit and ignore the will of 17.4 million people who don't live in Boston.
You are SO persuasive ...

Well Crazy-Cat-Lady that is typical of the waffling of would-be liberal minded people that borders on make believe. What nonsense saying that because somewhere is so strongly non-EU is a weird kind of place is head shaking! This country is now into the mid 60 million level and constantly going up as so many immigrants are of big family traditions. It will surmount 70 million and it all means extra costs to Britain. The problem is people who come out with what you have as well as the politicians in the country that damn well ignored what the referendum said it wanted. Democracy is becoming almost facrical.

Guy Verhofstadt - aka " the curtain-haired slimeball " - has flown in to help the LibDems in their Euro election campaign.

This is the reality ....

Fact - more people in Scotland voted for Leave in the Brexit referendum than voted for the SNP at the last election.

Let me get this right... so, you don’t like kids, you also don’t like people with kids (you started a thread on it)... and now you don’t like people who voted for Brexit?!

You should learn to tolerate different people a bit more.

In my experience the people who preach tolerance really mean provided they agree with my views.
The virtue signallers are the most intolerant of them all.
