I wonder how many Leave votes Obama was worth.

Looks like the Brits just reminded Obama that nobody takes his finger-wagging lectures seriously anymore.

The curtain has been pulled back on the Wizard of Oz, revealing a big-talking but very ordinary man.

And that must hurt, considering that in the early days of Obama's presidency, Newsweek editor Evan Thomas once described him as "sort of God." (Seriously; you can look it up.)

If you seriously think the Poms took any notice whatsoever of whatever Obama said, you are seriously mistaken.

That was kind of my point ...

The Brits did not remind him of anything, as you asserted.

He was ignored. He is irrelevant to the issue which was a British one. Just like a Brit PM would be in the USA.

And assuming that the Brits did, in fact, ignore him -- which is simply your unsubstantiated position that I grant only for the sake of argument -- the result is the same as if the Brits deliberately sent him a message:

Obama is reminded that nobody takes his finger-wagging lectures seriously anymore.

That seems pretty clear.

Too soon to tell Gandalf.

Anyway, even if the vote goes Leave, Plan B sees legal manouvres by Brussels to negate the vote.

Nothing surprises me with the British ; or say English.
The most silly thing they do, is, drive on the left side of the road; have you ever driven a car while sitting on the outside of the road? On a narrow road, it is almost impossible to pass another car, without someone sitting next to the driver.
Another question; will Scotland now leave Britain?

One can only hope so.

They've been a parasite on England's economy for yonkers now. It's why they recently voted against independence because this would have drastically reduced their welfare benefits.

Bexit although can be concerning when it comes to international security. It is possible that after this, countries like Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, and even France may be exiting as well. These are medium sized ecnomies that is not doing too badly. And then you have countries like Greece, Spain that are not doing well at all, and requires cash injections. And of course, the Eastern European blocks who wanted to resist the advancement of Russia, and deep in trouble with the Syrian refugee crisis.

When these occurs, if Germany suffers a down turn, then the entire European block may just fall like domino. The Eastern European countries will once again be swayed back to Russian sphere of influence, since they feel abandoned by their European allies. Whilst the Western European countries will be suspicious of each other. And this spells very uncertain times ahead.

I think gold is once again back in favour, as the pound falls. But this could be a prelude to the demise of EU, and hence Euro. Gold at $2000 again anyone?
