Because no one can predict the future and I for one do not intend to go back but one cannot guarantee that may be the case, who knows what could happen ten, twenty years from now. And yes I have close family, relatives etc in the UK.

Gove & Blondie have agreed to make a show and a dance to get out of ruddy road to make room for remain May.. once done, and May, complete with the Tory crown, will try to squiggle and squirm out of the vote result.
It's set: game's afoot
I don't think I have ever seen the Torys working so well together 
How did I do? | | | | | Swisstree,
You'll have to mention at least one secret society and at least one alternate explanation of either a major political, or a physical event or phenomenon.

Then today, two creatures are given measly 12yr sentences for grooming, raping and murdering a 15yr old girl. Even Kay Burley looked on the verge of tears reading that breaking news story.
I truly despair for the UK.  | | | | | Wrong.
The murderer got life with a minimum of 35 years.
The other bloke, not an accomplice in the murder, got 12 years.

Well, as a matter of fact, we are. But that is a result of being mortals.

The stock market in the UK is up because the currency is down.
And they've both been impacted (up and down respectively because, as I say, they're linked) by the fact the BoE is dropping hints of an interest rate cut and printing more sterling.

In 2011 the company was taken over by Kraft foods, which subsequenty split into a US arm (Kraft Foods - later Kraft Heinz) and a UK arm (Mondelez International).
Notice that 2011 was also the year of the London riots, which Boris Johnson did not see as worthy of an immediate response. This is because he knew that within weeks all Cadbury products would contain GMO sedatives. (Initialy only the posh Quality street, but ultimately including all products).
The dosage was slowly ramped up until the Brexit Referendum.
Boris was in on it, I tell you.

Any takers? | | | | | Err, speaking of lies, on the Remain side; I think I know why Obama threatened the whole country with being put at "the back of the queue" even though the UK will not. With his attempt at TTIP, the Brexit referendum was cramping his style. He would have rather put the whole UK population in its place so that he can close a masterstroke agreement. Some gesture of loyalty to a "special and enduring friendship", eh?
