BrExit the movie

Postby 68Camaro » Fri Jun 03, 2016 11:54 am

Unbelievable description of the EU - even watching just the first 10-15 minutes tells the story. As has been said by others, anyone in the UK that watches this and still votes for the EU deserves what they get.

They did a great job explaining how the unaccountable elites and bureaucrats of the EU are the real problem. All of the arguments I hear in the news about "immigrants flooding into Britain" and "Britain being locked out of trade with Europe" are just more of the same scare tactics that come out whenever there is an important vote presented to the people. The movie avoids that and gets to the real issue. It's about an hour long but it was well worth watching.

Can't wait to watch it. Seems like the EU is saying anything to keep the UK. Merkel warning of isolation for the UK. :lol: The EU can keep their bureaucrats.

On a related note, finally watched "The Big Short" tonight with the wife. Wow - great movie. Sure makes you appreciate people with conviction, as well as re-energizes the pissed off feeling toward the bankers and the government.

Haven't seen the polls but if so - it's because you can't fix stupid.

Thanks for the link. I am sickened by what I learned.

Back in Sept of '14, I watched Scotland vote no for independence. In 12 days, we'll see the Brexit vote. In November, we'll see our own presidential vote and we have seen the primaries to the current result.

Each shows an attempt to elicit change in the current system. All done in a "democratic way" (illusion of democracy,) the people have had/will have the chance to have their say. When all is said and done if the status quo is upheld, the winners will tell (have told) the losers "you had your say now sit down, shut up and accept the results. The people have spoken".

I anticipate status quo. Scotland is not free. Bremain will continue. And now that the full faith and credit of the current Party in power backs their candidate, the press will say "Madam President".

God help us, I hope I am wrong. But I will never sit down, stop having my say or shut up, or stop resisting the status quo. And as far as the people have spoken, they are sheep that will perish and be destroyed from a lack of vision and knowledge.
