he’s a scottish nationalist, despite not being a citizen there. he leans to the left, and, from where i sit, seems to operate more on what “should be” than on what is. he’s furious about the outcome of the brexit vote, wants scotland independent, and back in the e.u. (is that an oxymoron?)
of course, he thinks this will come about almost immediately, and with little effort. wishing will make it so. if it doesn’t, he’ll remain furious.
personally, i see brexit as positive, but i’ve always been libertarian, decentralist, and minarchist.
with the vote, power will move from the eurocenter (brussels) to london, subtracting one thick layer of bureaucracy.
i see this as a positive, as it is a step away from statism, centralism, globalism, and the neocons’ new world order – a slap at the banksters, soros, kissinger, greenspan, the rothschilds and the rockerfellers.
the scottish nationalsits hate it as they see it as a transfer of power toward london. they hate london.
the irish and anglo-irish hate it as they see it as a transfer of power toward london. they hate london.
queen bess and harry six pack on the street in england love it because they get their country back. excepting scotland, north ireland, and metro london, england (and wales) voted to leave by about 60/40.
it may be just the first domino, brexit – to be followed by grexit, departugal, italeave, fruckoff, czechout, oustria, finish, slovakout, latervia, gotohelgium. the swiss have already withdrawn their application to join.
we live in interesting times.
