BREXIT

Rum, beer, movies, nice websites, gaming, etc., without interrupting the flow of martial threads.

Work's for me. I guess you won't be embarrassed getting your ass kicked by a 60 year old.

Would it be possible to restart the (1) point that has been misunderstood?

A short video, presented for the comedic value. If nutter women can go full retard against Brexit, then blokes like James Delingpole can do it too, but in the other direction.

Looking like May doesn't have enough votes.

Quebec independence, Scotland oot, Brexit, connect the historical dots. The natives are restless. Whether Brexit happens or by some slim margin does not, it is significant as an index of the public's perception.

Co-worker Gavin Ashenden (on site in the Blight) remarks that he never thought he would see half a million people in the streets of London protesting against democracy.
I define internal martial art as unusual muscle recruitment and leave it at that. If my definition is incomplete, at least it is correct so far as it goes.

They're not protesting against democracy. They're expressing their democratic rights, no? Did people protest Obama's election? Were they protesting democracy, or were they protesting against something they disapproved?

It costs double in the US. They still haven't forgiven us for doing the same thing to them.

They were protesting enactment of the vote to leave. That is, execution of what the vote decided.

We all know that. My point is that it's not "against democracy." I can't say whether the result of Brexit will be good or bad. I think they're stuck with it in some form or fashion. Apparently, millions of people are not satisfied with the form it is (struggling) to take, and the possible results of some forms it may take. That is entirely up to them. To silence them would be undemocratic.
