The United Kingdom...
...a country whose name is sounding a bit oxymoronic these days.
U.K. is roughly over a year and a half away from being divorced from the European Union, something analysts have termed “Brexit.” This move, according to one particular expert, will be something that Britain ‘will regret:”
That is Jean-Claude Juncker, chief of the European Union. Juncker says both parties have regretted the decision made by Britain in June of 2016, where a majority of the British spoke to divorce themselves from the EU over concerns on how to handle the growing migrant problem. One person certainly will not regret it:

That is Nigel Farage, former leader of UKIP and three-time winner for “Most Punchable Face.” He argues that the will of the people in the European Union, such as in countries like Poland and Hunagry are being run like it’s the old Eastern Europe, with no true democratic process being run, surpressing any opposition from rising up and giving dissent. So, this Brexit movement Farage got through is a little like a child throwing a temper tantrum because the child wanted McDonald’s instead of the families’ choice, Burger King. Look, Billy, you want to dine with a King, not a clown.
And it looks like Britain might be dining alone, not necessarily because the EU shot itself in the foot, but because it’s the other way around. Sure, the British are allowed to make their own immigration policy, economic policy, cut down on bureaucratic red tape set by the European Union, and not have to pay the 350 pounds required to stay in the EU.
But, all this will come with a price in March of 2019. They would have to settle outstanding bills with the EU, negotiate trade deals with the EU (and accept the European Union’s trade rules to enter their market), and the pound will be significantly weakened. The housing market has been brutal for first-time-buyers, and, combined with a weakened pound with, will only exacerbate these problems. And the housing market is extremely sensitive to consumer confidence. The Brexit has turned into a absolute cluster with nothing but elected dullards calling the shots. The electorate in Britain voting to “Leave” had the collective wool pulled over their faces by these dullards. Thank God we never had something similar happen in America in the last calendar year!
Look, Britain, you’re the rich kid that has had it all. You’ve had the best toys, the most advanced military in the EU, and you’ve hardly had to move a finger. But, once the rules were inserted, you elected (pun intended) to throw a hissy fit, and move out from under Mum and Dad’s ‘umbrella’ because you didn’t want to accept the regulations they imposed for the greater good of not only Europe, but for the world.
Please, from a person who’s country may be the catalyst for World War III, find a way to repeal and replace a possibly catastrophic decision.
