Brexit Day
Today is the day.
BREXIT!
Will this be one of those defining moments in World History that will be remembered for generations and generations?
Or will it pass like a fart in the wind?
This opinion piece provides some good perspective on what might be seen going forward:
WHAT WILL BREXIT BRITAIN BE LIKE?
As far as I can see, the signs point to a kind of hybrid nation: more welcoming to foreign capital but more hostile to foreign people; greener but more conservative; freer on the world stage, but weaker. There will be shiny totems—a few new trains and hospitals—but the general safety net for most citizens, in terms of their rights and benefits, will be cut away. Brexit has always been a mythical endpoint, which means that governments will be able to justify a great variety of things in its name.
