LONDON — Britain has voted to leave the European Union, a historic decision sure to reshape the nation’s place in the world, rattle the Continent and rock political establishments throughout the West.

It is really scary, I'm sure, but they did it and I wish them success in their liberation from the failing Eurozone.

This will, however, create a lot of ripples economically and politically around the world both bad and good. It's going to get worse before it gets better. Apparently, Scotland and Norther Ireland were not in support of the idea so we can likely expect similar referendums from them to leave the United Kingdom and join the Eurozone in their own right. Hey, if that's what they want they should get it.

Gonna fire up some Iron Maiden, brew a nice big pot of Earl Grey and toast to the Brits and their newfound balls. :toast:

Liz was for it. Even better. An England without Elizabeth Hurley is a sad thought.

Voices of the past join the chorus.
