Good news...for ukip and the blues. Labour will never win anything with Corbyn as their leader. It's a Tory future folks 
Question is, when will the labour party split?
Sounds like the U.K. is doing everything they can to flush themselves down the toilet; to become an irrelevant reactionary backwater dumpster fire. With UKIPpers and the effin' Tories running amok without anyone counter-weighing the madness (like the Labour party) sounds like an absolute nightmare.
Are you guys trying to compete with Donald Trump in reactionary buffoonery or something? Seems like it.
Hello all, just got back from a holiday across Scandinavia, miss me? Of course you did
The EU is a sinking ship, its breaking up slowly.
The EU was created after WWII to basically prevent another world war, good idea. Alas in recent years its gone to pot because the EU has simply become too big headed and drunk with power. The recent migrant crisis made things even worse and showed how out of touch with the people the EU is.
Basically they have gone too far with their powers, Merkel and Hollande run the whole show which was not the deal, they make demands of countries which are unrealistic and unreasonable, again, was never the deal.
Next year both Germany and France have major elections, there is a strong chance Merkel will be ousted, same with Hollande. Both countries now have a very strong political right-wing side which threatens to take power. But, you know what, its their own fault, they have brought this on themselves by acting so badly, not listening to their people. That's exactly what happened in the UK, government didn't listen to the people, they only listened to the loud, vocal liberal minority, and they paid the price big time.
Comparisons could be made to the US, hence I'd be very careful with your Presidential elections
Nigel Farage has been getting loads of coverage in the US and he's a very very good talker. Despite what people might tell you, he genuinely speaks the truth and says it exactly how it is, which is why he became very popular in the UK (again despite what some people might tell you).
As for Scandinavia, well, its not as bad as Italy, but there are many beggers in the streets, clearly migrants. There is also a very clear and obvious Muslim presence in Sweden which is very unnerving when you're actually there because of the current political climate and they're all in black, or dark colours, and completely covered up. It looks very odd, very out of place and you can see people aren't really happy with it, but they have to put up with it. Again the question of, why do these people not respect the country they have come to with their dress sense? People in Europe don't dress this way, our women don't do this, why are they allowed to act this way?
Still, I will fully admit it wasn't as bad as I expected, although I obviously haven't been everywhere, I'm sure the suburbs of major cities will be different. But overall, yes, you can see the impact of EU rule very clearly.
