Thread: EU parliament leader: we want Britain out as soon as possible

What One British Politician Just Said Has the World LAUGHING at Barack Obama
By Brian Hayes June 24, 2016

The British people shocked the global elites and delivered a huge blow to the New World Order by voting to leave the corrupt European Union, fed up with massive, mainly Muslim immigration, and unfair trade.

But another major factor entered into the stunning and unexpected vote — as the leader of the “Brexit” campaign revealed in an interview Friday afternoon.

Nigel Farage, head of the UK Independence Party, who led the effort to leave the E.U., cited none other than a “pompous” Barack Hussein Obama as a major factor spurring angry Brits to the polls.

Obama made a special trip to London a month ago to urge Brits to vote to “Remain” in the E.U. — and then threatened to isolate the UK if they didn’t listen. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-2...-union/7350778

In his interview with Breitbart, Farage cited Obama’s threats as a critical factor in driving the vote in favor of Brexit…

“Threatening people too much actually insults their intelligence and the lesson from the Obama visit is even more fascinating”.

“Here’s the most powerful man in the world coming from a country that we’ve always had a huge high regard for … and a lot of people in Britain said, ‘How dare the American president come here and tell us what to do?’ And it backfired and I think we got an Obama Brexit bounce because people do not want foreign leaders telling them how to think and how to vote.”

Obama showed how utterly impotent he is on the world stage — yet again.

Scots, Northern Irish eye UK escape after Brexit vote

EDINBURGH, Scotland — The United Kingdom's stunning vote to depart the European Union could end in the breakup of the U.K. itself.

While majorities of voters in England and Wales backed the campaign to leave the 28-nation bloc, the U.K.'s two other regions of Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to stay. Hot on the heels of Friday's results, nationalist leaders in both countries vowed to leave the U.K. if that is required price to keep their homelands fully connected to Europe.

Scotland, where nationalists already in power narrowly lost a 2014 independence referendum, appears poised to be first out the U.K. door if its English neighbors don't manage a negotiated U-turn to remain inside the EU. Most analysts dismiss that prospect.

"Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out of the EU against our will. I regard that as democratically unacceptable," said Scotland's leader, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. More than 60 percent of Scots voted to remain in the EU, compared with 48 percent of voters in the U.K. overall, reflecting Scots' belief that EU membership provides a moderating influence on political life in a U.K. traditionally dominated by the vastly more numerous English.

Sturgeon emphasized that her administration would aim first to help negotiate a compromise between the British government in London and EU chiefs in Brussels "to secure our continuing place in the EU and the single market." But she said such hopes appeared unlikely to prevail, and made a second Scottish independence referendum "now highly likely." She said such a vote would have to be held before the United Kingdom formally exited the EU, which could happen as soon as 2018.

Scotland in September 2014 voted 55 percent to 45 percent to reject independence. But leading members of Sturgeon's Scottish National Party said they were confident that many voters who rejected independence two years ago were ready to switch allegiance given England's decisive embrace of euroskepticism.

"People in Scotland are quite simply stunned," said party lawmaker John Nicolson. He said Britain's traditional big three parties — the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats — all argued two years ago that U.K. membership was the only way to keep Scotland securely within the EU.

"Clearly they've misled the Scottish people," he said.

Next door, Irish nationalists in the long-disputed U.K. region of Northern Ireland say the British vote has reignited their demands for an all-island referendum to reunite the two parts of Ireland after 95 years of partition. They argue that a British withdrawal from the EU would force authorities in both parts of Ireland to renew customs and security controls on what would become the U.K.'s only land border with an EU state, the Republic of Ireland.

Sinn Fein, already in power in Northern Ireland's 9-year-old unity government and positioned to become the Republic of Ireland's top opposition party, insists that the hundreds of thousands of Irish citizens who live in Northern Ireland must be given a chance to vote for their own U.K. escape.

In Dublin, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny convened an emergency Cabinet meeting as Ireland's stock market suffered the biggest market falls in Europe, reflecting the fact that Ireland's main trading partner is Britain. Kenny emerged saying his government's top priority was to minimize damage to Ireland's exports-driven economy, not to open old wounds in Northern Ireland.

Kenny and Britain's secretary of state for Northern Ireland, Theresa Villiers, agreed that Northern Ireland's U.S.-brokered 1998 peace accord contained a provision for staging an all-Ireland vote on reunification in event of popular demand. But both asserted that decades of opinion polling and election results had demonstrated that such a demand was too weak to merit a vote anytime soon.

Kenny said his government would support an Irish unity referendum only if analysts could document "a serious movement of a majority of people to a situation where they would want to join the republic. There is no such evidence."

"There are much more serious issues to deal with in the medium term," he said, citing the need to protect Ireland's decades-old agreement to maintain special travel and trade relations with Britain, an agreement that predates both nations' 1973 entry to the then-European Economic Community. "That's where our focus is."

And Villiers, who joined Conservative Party rebels in opposing Prime Minister David Cameron's push to remain in the EU, called a potential Irish referendum "a divisive distraction." She noted that "remain" won with just 56 percent of the vote in Northern Ireland, the biggest per-capita recipient of EU aid in the U.K.

Left unmentioned was the ever-present sectarian rivalry of Northern Ireland, where a decade of delicately balanced peace has followed three decades of bloodshed that left nearly 3,700 dead. While Sinn Fein led the Catholic minority in seeking to remain in the EU, the top Protestant-backed party campaigned to reject it. As a result, Catholic areas staunchly backed "remain," Protestant areas "leave."

Sinn Fein usually is an EU critic, but this time it backed the "remain" campaign because of the risk that Ireland's nearly invisible border could become a daily economic, social and security obstacle again. Sinn Fein's overarching goal is to overturn the 1921 division of the island, when Irish rebels in the south fought a successful war of independence from the U.K. but pro-British Protestants anchored in industrial Belfast received a new northern state that remained within the U.K.

Martin McGuinness, the former Irish Republican Army commander who is Sinn Fein's co-leader of the Northern Ireland government, said Irish nationalists in the north — representing more than 40 percent of the population — would demand a chance to test public support for Irish unity versus continued U.K. membership.

McGuinness said the prospect of reintroducing security checks along Northern Ireland's meandering 310-mile (500-kilometer) border, barely a decade after the outlawed IRA renounced violence and British security forces were withdrawn from border forts, should be avoided at all costs.

"Anybody who doesn't think this is big stuff needs to get their head around it. This is huge for us," McGuinness said. "I do have great concerns about the future."

In Scotland, high-profile opponents of independence forecast that Cameron's backfiring referendum would end in the U.K.'s own fracture.

"Scotland will seek independence now," said "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, who donated 1 million pounds to anti-independence campaigners two years ago.

"Cameron's legacy will be breaking up two unions," she said in a tweet. "Neither needed to happen."

the list is getting longer of countries that are seriously thinking of following in the footsteps of the UK. remember when obama standing with cameron used his bullying tactics telling england that is they voted to leave, they were going to be at the end of the line..............................but friday he said he would keep them on the top of the list. does that mean he thinks the world has dementia and do not remember his flip flops? Personally i am getting motion sickness from him and his.

in regards to scotland and ireland and what they decide to do can take a while, like 2 years for the uk to leave the eu. meanwhile would ireland and scotland feel the same if france, netherlands spain etc leave the eu? many of the countries in the eu are not happy regarding immigrants that they are forced to take without any say. personally i agree with them. what is happening in europe should scare all of us because O and then hillary want to bring in large number of immigrants that will stress any country's resources. In the US how many hospitals have had to close because they were not getting paid the actually costs of treatment for those without insurance? school districts are having to take money out of the funds to supply those children who are in our country with special needs such as translators, sociologists, psychologists etc and the US children have to do without. We even have had prisoners tell our government that they cannot serve pork to anyone in the prison because it goes against their belief! pork is cheaper than meat so the government, which originally was going to accommodate them, did not agree with them and as a taxpayer i say thank you for coming to your senses.
