Will Brexit ever happen?
« on: August 17, 2019, 09:12:25 pm »
I was under the belief that the UK had already voted to leave the EU! It is beginning to look like their politicians are as arrogant as our Democrats. Apparently they think they know what is the best for you and to hell with your vote! :-\ I will be happy when the 2020 election comes so a few corrupt roadblocks to American security will be voted out of office. Maybe then we can get a real border and some serious immigration reform.

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Boris Johnson will tell French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel that the Westminster parliament cannot stop Brexit and a new deal must be agreed if Britain is to avoid leaving the EU without one. 
In his first trip abroad as leader, Johnson is due to meet his European counterparts ahead of a G7 summit on Aug. 24-26 in Biarritz, France.
He will say that Britain is leaving the European Union on Oct. 31, with or without a deal, and that the British parliament cannot block that, according to a Downing Street source.

The United Kingdom is heading towards a constitutional crisis at home and a showdown with the EU as Johnson has repeatedly vowed to leave the bloc on Oct. 31 without a deal unless it agrees to renegotiate the Brexit divorce.
After more than three years of Brexit dominating EU affairs, the bloc has repeatedly refused to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement which includes an Irish border insurance policy that Johnson’s predecessor, Theresa May, agreed in November.
The prime minister is coming under pressure from politicians across the political spectrum to prevent a disorderly departure, with opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn vowing to bring down Johnson’s government in early September to delay Brexit.

It is, however, unclear if lawmakers have the unity or power to use the British parliament to prevent a no-deal Brexit on Oct. 31 - likely to be the United Kingdom’s most significant move since World War Two.
Opponents of no deal say it would be a disaster for what was once one of the West’s most stable democracies. A disorderly divorce, they say, would hurt global growth, send shockwaves through financial markets and weaken London’s claim to be the world’s preeminent financial centre.
Brexit supporters say there may be short-term disruption from a no-deal exit but that the economy will thrive if cut free from what they cast as a doomed experiment in integration that has led to Europe falling behind China and the United States.

America was made by immigration.

Why worry about immigration?

Those who get in only make up for Americans killed by Americans with guns, 10 kids alone are killed or injured every day by guns.

You had your Sandy Hook and nothing happened.  UK had their equivalent and as a result every legally owned hand firearm was required to be handed in and destroyed by law.

They started going after guns in England back in the 20's. They had every aspect of gun ownership controlled and monitored prior to the confiscation. The problem isn't guns, it is people! People are very diverse and resourceful so confiscating guns just forced them to find other means to kill! Looks like the UK needs to start confiscating knives now since they seem to be the weapon of choice now!  8)

Which is the reason that most Americans should not be allowed guns.

when it comes down to firearms, most people are ignorant or just plain
stupid if/ or when they play with a tool that is meant for killing another person.
