[Gerarddm]

They’re openly saying it: Brexit has failed. But what comes next may be very dark indeed (msn.com)

I think a lot of people saw it coming, but I'm surprised he is admitting it. Can anyone claim it won't get worse?

He was not nicknamed ''The Swivel Eyed Loon'' for nothing. He was a banker (so should have known better) that is spelled with a B but should have been spelled with a W.

Brexit was colossally stupid, putting it mildly.

The only good thing about Brexit is that it knocks the overinflated egos of Brits down a few notches and makes them realize their country is just as susceptible to the ills Americans are experiencing. Brexit and football hooliganism.

I am surprised that you can walk straight with that chip on your shoulder.

That's interesting.

But what next?
Can it make a change or is this just some satisfying schadenfreude?
What could the change be?

I doubt it is up to the Brits any longer. They shot themselves in both feet when they did Brexit. The EU is in the driver's seat.

Re: OMG- Nigel Farage speaks the truth for once, Brexit has failed

I have extremely strong views on this.

The one political dream of my life, from 16 onwards, has been progress towards European Union.

I had been an activist in a small way and had the pleasure of meeting Roy Jenkins and Edward Heath. Up to 2016 I felt that we were making a little progress.

Those déplorables have wrecked it.

I absolutely hate those swine.

Farage is lying of course, just like the rest of them.

Hey man, at least I acknowledge it. You one the other hand . . . .

We are susceptible to the same ills as the US of A?

You, sunshine are talking out of the wrong orifice.

Elected Public Servants who refuse to do their job because of Religion.
An electorate who is perfectly content to have dozens of children murdered en masse..
Gerrymandered elections.
Bankruptcies due to medical bills.

I could go on.

back on topic.

Op, here's the original article - would you change your link? there's no need to give microsoft/nbc any clicks. as soon as I started reading I realized it couldn't be a microsoft article.

and yes - he must be lying. surely no one actually believed that brexit would usher in a golden age for any but the destroyers.

The Guardian 'might' not have my point of view.
Brexit has just recently caused us some problems, as I am no longer a a EU 'citizen', but reside in France.. In principle, I was pro the common market but against the EU efforts to Federalize the EU, with more power being given to the Brussels bunch of clowns. Most of them are low level politicos, with dubious track records in their own countries, but telling everybody in Europe how to do things. Policing their own ranks has been a joke..

Yep. Interesting. Did you read it?

"There is no pro-gun lobby in Serbia," says Bojan Elek, the deputy director of the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy and an expert on firearms issues in the country.
"There is a national association of gun owners - but nothing close to what they're doing in the US with the National Rifle Association (NRA)."

You make a rather elementary error in analysis by blaming the lack of action on the U.S. electorate. That's a simplistic picture that makes the unwarranted assumption that U.S. government is responsive to the demands of its citizens, and is functioning as some of us would like it to function. And that's in addition to your failure to account for the powerful gun lobby that the U.S. has, and Serbia does not.

He was not nicknamed ''The Swivel Eyed Loon'' for nothing. He was a banker (so should have known better) that is spelled with a B but should have been spelled with a W.

A "C" would also work in this case as he has been a blight on the UK economy.
