Well, I was thinking that things had gotten a little mushy in here

You sound like you're channeling McB here.

Considering how heavily the economy is weighted towards the EU, facing an unknown level of disengagement from it isn't exactly grounds for optimism. Nor is the fact that the referendum result was followed by a dramatic increase in the number of hate crimes. And don't get me started on the current government...

It's nothing to do with propaganda. The Leave campaign was literally based on lies and (at best)nonsense, and didn't even have an actual plan for leaving the EU. Frankly the entire referendum was a mess from start to finish, both campaigns were jokes that failed to actually make their cases. I'm of the opinion that membership in the EU was beneficial for Britain, though the EU does need to start making some changes.

Article 50 isn't being triggered until next year, and that's the start of the process of leaving the EU, so it's way too early to call this. Previous predictions were made assuming an early triggering of Article 50. Right now everyone's waiting to see if the PM will actually go through with it(sure, she says she will, but it wouldn't be the first time a Conservative PM has lied), and after that for how the negotiations go. That's when things are going to start going pear-shaped. What we're experiencing right now is quite literally the calm before the storm.

As I've said, Article 50 hasn't been triggered yet. Since the referendum took place, nothing has changed in terms of leaving the EU. The UK's "divorce" hasn't happened; we've talked about separating, but the lawyers haven't been called in yet. The process and the negotiations haven't begun, and won't until next year(And there's still debate as to whether or not starting the process can actually be blocked, just to add to this mess). What we've had so far has been nothing more than the reaction to the result of the referendum.

As for the underlined, nor is it guaranteed to succeed. And the farce that UK politics has devolved into since the referendum doesn't inspire optimism.

Perhaps, but that has to be balanced against the EU's desire to keep other countries that are talking about leaving from doing so.

It is hard to find pictures of birds and squirrels together, so I have to post whatever I find no matter how squishy!!!!

BWAAHAA !!!!!!

What? I´m hungry

So, my parents are moving again and this time to an apartment. Too bad, this house is nice and there are no other close neighbours than the landlord, but it´s their choice and I understand.

An Apartment? What about the 'Cavator?????? It can't live in a tiny apartment!!!!


WAIT!!! What about your shooting range? IT can't live in a tiny apartment !!!!!

Now, now. Calm down just a bit


They´re not selling the cottage and the land and no such plans exist, they´re just moving from the house they live in which is in town. So no need to get your fur in a bunch

Huh.

I wondered what that whistling noise was earlier

I have been pleasantly surprised by the themes for Windows available on the microsoft website. It's the first time I've actually changed my desktop wallpaper in years!
