| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: | |  | | | Ironically, Brexit has probably strengthened the EU. Remember how bad things initially looked for the EU following the result?
The truth of PT Barnum's adage strikes again: 'Any kind of publicity is good publicity as long as they spell your name right'. | | | | | I also think that, but it's not because of the bad publicity...it just made a lot of people reflect on this issue and reconsider their opinions in regards with why EU, and how would Europe look like without EU, and frankly it doesn't look good at all.
You can't trust some nations alone to mantain peace. Yes, I know you all take peace and civilisation for granted. It is not, Brexit was an awful reminder of that.

Despite the divisions in the country, an incompetent government and the stuttering of Brexit there's not been one sniff of violence.
Meanwhile, Paris is getting torched every weekend.

One of its members Turkey has been daily violating Greek airspace for decades and threatening war. And that's between NATO members...

| | | | | I'd say the murder of Jo Cox by a right wing extremist shouting "Britain First!" might just squeak in as "a sniff of violence". |

But "not a sniff of violence" was an incorrect assessment of the period since the Referendum. That was all.

Do not downgrade a vicious murder to 'a tragedy'.
Accidental death is a tragedy. Murder is violence. There's a vital legal distinction between the two.
