Follow the money:

Boris is the bookies' favourite to replace Cameron at 5/2

Cameron has been Britain's Malcolm Turnbull - a Leftwing sheep in Conservative clothing. A complete phony.

Now that Boris has come out of the closet as a pro-British patriot and genuine Conservative who wants to restore Britain to full sovereignty over the running of its own affairs ~ traitors like Cameron and his cronies are squealing like stuck pigs.

The Czech Republic may choose to follow Britain out of the European Union, the country’s prime minister said, amid growing fears in Brussels of a “contagion”.

Bohuslav Sobotka said that a “Czexit” may take place. The Czech Republic only joined the EU in 2004 and has been the beneficiary of billions in development funds, but has some of the most hostile public opinion.

A Brussels decision to force the country to take in a quota of migrants caused fury. Three-fifths of Czechs said they were unhappy with EU membership and 62 percent said they would vote against it in a referendum, according to an October 2015 poll by the STEM agency.

"If Britain leaves the EU, we can expect debates about leaving the EU in a few years too," said Mr Sobotka, who led eastern European states in opposition to David Cameron’s plans to curb benefits.

"The impact may be really huge," he said, adding that a "Czexit" could trigger an economic and security downturn and a return to the Russian sphere of influence.

Such a move "would be an absolute negation of the developments after 1989", he said, referring to the revolution of Czechoslovakia that threw off Soviet rule.

There are fears in Brussels that the multiple crises of Brexit, migration and the euro mean that 2016 will prove to be the high-water mark of the European project, in which it becomes plain that the vision of a fully federalised EU state will never be reached.

And leaders fear that Mr Cameron will trigger a string of copy-cat referendums from ambitious leaders who want to extract special concessions from Brussels, pulling the bloc to pieces.

Meanwhile, Aleksander Vucic, the Serbian Prime Minister said that EU membership is no longer the "big dream it was in the past" for Balkan states..

"The EU that all of us are aspiring to, it has lost its magic power," Mr Vucic told a conference at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in London.

"Yes we all want to join, but it is no longer the big dream it was in the past."

Raid the petty cash tin and buy pounds. If they exit, sell long...


Good luck with that. The pound is spiralling downwards as a result of Brexit fears. I sold GBP in September last year and made a handsome profit as the AUD went from 46p to 52p where it is today.

- and if anybody doesn't think that Brexit will spark the mother of all global recessions, just remember what happened when there was concern about Greece (45th biggest economy) pulling out.

If the world's 5th biggest economy was disrupted in any way, including exit from the EU and the likely Scottish independence that would follow such a move, the effects would be major and longterm.

Brexit is also exactly what the unionists in Northern Ireland would want too, but it would shatter the current fragile peace process.

If you want to invest long in currencies under those circumstances, you should probably pass the details on to your grandkids.

The "stay" in the EU campaign is being run as if it were some rainbow coalition of new age liberals and hard nosed pragmatists. Baloney. The British government is interested in maintaining influence on the continent. That is the Cameron perspective. He wants that influence while looking as if he is being benevolent.

This article in The Economist sums up the consequences quite well:

Quote:
Britain and the European Union

The real danger of Brexit

Leaving the EU would hurt Britain—and would also deal a terrible blow to the West

That article is nothing more than the opinions of one person. I can do that, thanks all the same. If Britain produces superior products at a competitive price, they will find a market,  if market forces mean anything. I don't believe the world will tremble because of EU problems. Take a look at last year. The Greek debt crisis was going to be the end of the world. The real problem is immigration, and Britain needs to keep Muslims out. The first step is to dump Europe.

My sentiments exactly.

I was living and working in the UK when England was unashamedly and unapologetically 'English'. There was no 'Us-and-Them' yet - the demographic was consistently white and without 'minority' ghettoes and enclaves. To refer to oneself as 'English' had not yet taken on connotations of 'racism', 'bigotry' and 'xenophobia' due to the immigrant 'Thems' all being 'British' by registration but not 'English'.

The competition between the Western countries as to which one could boast the loudest that they had destroyed their historic identity through mass immigration and 'Multiculturalism' had not yet begun.

With Britain breaking away from the EU - others will follow.

What I cant understand is why Cameron offered a referendum in the first place if he is against exiting the EU.

Thats not how we do things in Australia, you wont be getting a vote on many things here,,, unless the government is already in favour of it.

Here's a bright girl who wants to see her British homeland withdraw from the continental European Union so more blacks can be brought in from outside of Europe at the expence of white immigration from the European countries.

Thankfully, the majority of Brits have had it up to 'here' with their suburbs being stuffed like Strasbourg geese with foreign identities to the tune of hundreds of thousands each year since decades ago.

But this girl has been thoroughly 'coached' to believe her homeland should no longer be regarded as the stamping ground of the English peoples alone, but should be regarded as a national utility and a convenience for everyone and anyone to come help with 'diversity' and 'difference' in their city ghettoes and their suburban enclaves.

He needs that influence. Without it, it would be Britain versus a united France and Germany.

Good luck with that.

We used to call you Soap dodgers and whingers, and you are. The only use I have for my British passport is for the free passage in Europe - a far nicer place than England. The English are all p!ssing off over there too.

And this is the reason Brits will want to stay in the EU. Sure, the English may favour their crap food over the superior European array of produce, but they won’t want to give up the opportunity of retiring in Spain.

One of Britain's Chief Criminals who puts Lord Haw Haw to shame as a traitor.

What the hell this social-engineering political criminal is doing walking around as a free man is utterly beyond me.

Someone ought to hire one of the remnants of the IRA to go blow this bastárd's arse into the middle of next week. I'd do the job myself if I could find my passport.   Cool

Always remember that voices like Karnal are primarily concerned with pushing a globalist collectivist agenda.
Everything that enhances that movement, such as preserving and expanding the EU, is their prime aim.
But as I continue to poimt out elsewhere they wont have a Europe to preserve soon due to their limp-wristed failure to stand up.
