Wow, i did not expect this after last week. I was sure they have swayed them, but it looks like things have been over the point of no return. EU now should knock on Merkels (and Obama) door and shout "Look what you have done".

I am glad that most british people voted for leave, GB has never really been part of the EU, just like Russia or Turkey dont belong in the EU, now british people finally decided to leave. Some interesting questions are still to answer:

Will Scotland remain in the EU?

Will we again have borders between Ireland and Northern Ireland?

Who will replace Cameron as PM? I guess it will (sadly) be Johnson, but it would be great to see Farage as new PM. Maybe we will have elections again and UKIP will win them. I think it will be difficult for the Conservative Party to agree on someon as opportunistic as Johnson as new PM.

Where will british people now go for holidays? Spain will probably now be too expensive for many british people. I think Manchester or Birmingham are very beautiful places too.

Will Franlfurt become the new financial centre of Europe?

When will GB actually exit the EU?

 

Its gonna be really interesting to see how GB will do without the EU. Switzerland for example is doing just fine and i think GB will also be fine without the EU.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them?   Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...    
    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker
