Miracle of Dunkirk?
Will there always be Britain?

Unlike my ancient predecessor, this Tullius hasn't had his hands chopped off. With hands attached I offer my thoughts on philosophy, religion, politics, and whatever else I find worth mentioning. I'm conservative religiously and politically (with libertarian leanings). I value reason and freedom but also traditions and "Oldthink." I relish being on the wrong side of history when history is wrong--part of a philosopher's job is to be unpopular. (Views given here may not represent my employers')
Hoping and praying that there are enough of us left to extricate ourselves from the madness. As the immigration increases the sanity is diluted. The people who control Europe hate and fear nation-states, so they are eroding them by whatever means are available. Migration, regulation, and financial strangleholds.
ReplyDeleteDo you think, though, that the parliament will vote against it even if the vote to "Brexit" is a slim majority (which is what I would guess)?
ReplyDeleteThat would put us into uncharted waters, but I would guess that going against the will of the people as expressed in the referendum result would be very difficult for parliament to do. Enough of them have (I hope!) the remains of a moral sense; and I could also see it leading to serious problems of future legitimacy if they did. In the UK, scepticism and downright cynicism towards politicians is higher than I have ever known it.
ReplyDeleteExit polls give the remain camp a small lead. Which is bad news, but on the positive side it is raining and there are floods in the south east. Remain are relying on the lukewarm conservative vote for the status quo, whereas Brexit are mainly fired-up old bastards like myself who would wade through torrents to get us out.
"God blew, and they were scattered..."
ReplyDeleteSeems like the UK ignored the unsolicited advice from your nice Mr. Obama.
Congratulations. Welcome to the Revolution!
