Germany: Small village of 80 set to become new geographic centre of EU due to Brexit
The small German village of Gadheim, in the municipality of Veitschöchheim in North-Western Bavaria, is set to become the new geographic centre of the European Union due to the United Kingdom's looming exit from the bloc.

Well, bed made, and may they like lying in it.

Best speech ever (well, second to the "you're not laughing ANYMORE, are you???" speech he gave....lol).

Nigel Farage's last speech to the scoundrels in the EU:

Libbie?

That's just a truthful statement. They're still abiding EU laws and trade for another 11 months.

Brexit will only benefit people servicing global capital in London, the so-called "liberal elites." HSBC could care less what country it is located in, as long as policy-makers guarantee that its capital can move freely across borders. On the other hand, people employed in manufacturing and the production of physical goods will likely be hurt the most, ironically the working class. Car manufacturing in the UK is already at a ten year low, and sentiment is not looking good. It makes zero sense for UK manufacturers to have to deal with a separate regulatory and bureaucratic framework when everything is already standardized across the EU. And, it will be especially bad once they realize the EU policy-makers are not going to give the UK a deal anywhere close to what they had when they there were in the EU.

To all the working class conservatives patting themselves on the back. Congrats, you got played.

Just think...

If Hillary Clinton had been elected she would have used threats and the weight of the US Govt to stop Brexit. She would have threatened to hurt their economy and probably made every attempt to punish. Trump reassured we would be there as a friend and ally. First to the head of the line.

Trump encouraged and supported the movement.

The Clintons are part of the Socialist One World who would have done everything possible to keep today from Happening.

Brexit - Trump

Trump - Brexit.

The UK has spent more money since the referendum than all 47 years of EU contributions combined.

The EU is not a socialist organisation either, it is economically neoliberal.

When Trump is Re-elected in 2020 this will be the best thing for our Nation and our best Friend.

Happy Brexit Day, self determination and freedom returns to the Island.

Not sure how more tariffs equal freedom.
