Brexit
Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2016 2:28 am
“Brexit.” What a clever name for a very complex and emotionally charged issue. If nothing else, the newsys have slippery people in the naming department. It's important to have a clever moniker for your issue of the day if you want to be taken seriously.
First, let me say that I'm enormously impressed that this has not been an issue of comment on Pennymachines. After all, this is a site devoted to earnest love for an era bygone. Political discussions are for other forums, usually listed under the organic title: “bile discharge.”
As an American, I do not have an informed opinion on the merits of the subject, either way. And it's none of my business, really. The purpose of this post is to declare that whatever happens, the United Kingdom will continue to be the greatest example of freedom and democracy in the history of man. Greece may have been the birthplace of democracy but the UK is the nursery, the family home and the university. Without England, there would be no United States of America.
So, good luck with the election. We Yanks have had and will always have the greatest respect for all you blokes. Long live the United Kingdom, and God Save the Queen.
