Boris (Trump's mini me) will preside over the unwrapping of Great Britain.

[deminks]

He will brexit from Europe. Hard. He wants all the perks but none of the people of color. He will not get the perks.

Scotland will brexit from UK next and probably join the EU.

Ireland - will there be a hard border? That could lead to renewed unrest.

Canada? will have to renegotiate most of their trade agreements.


Boris won by offering 'clarity' on the Brexit issues. I think that was more Russian propaganda.

So, conservatives, congratulations are in order. Be careful what you wish for. Oh what a tangled web we weave...

[Wounded Bear]

1. Ere long, will it just be "England" again...

as the constituent parts of Great Britain exit?

Time wounds all heels.

[greymattermom]

11. So if Wales stays, they will need a new name.

Great Britain includes Wales and Scotland.
United Kingdom includes everything on the main island and Northern Ireland.

England doesn't include Wales.

[obamanut2012]

15. Wales can just use what it is actually called: Cymru

[Firestorm49]

2. Putin is toasting another victory.

[Johnny2X2X]

7. Correct!

Russia's role in the UK election is the lesson for the US, it was greater than ever before and they have complete control over many Democracies now.

Whatever Putin did in 2016 in the US, he's beefed that up and is in complete control now.

[bluedye33139]

3. Corbyn is awful

Labour should not have gone into this election with him as their leader. He is actively repulsive to many people, from progressives to moderates to conservatives.

[LonePirate]

4. There is chatter that Wales might secede as well. Johnson will be preside over a massive land loss.

[Crowman]

5. Always remember to never forget this:

The SNP is far more left than the Labour party ever was!

Scotland exits the UK, Scotland joins the EU: It's all good! It's all great! Hallelujah! Scotland the Brave!

Win Win. The SNP rising from the dead to 48 seats yesterday and will be taking Scotland out: Hooray!!!!

[TheRealNorth]

10. Will be interesting to see what happens with the North Sea oil

Isn't much of the oil in the waters between Scotland and Norway?

[Mike 03]

6. It's chilling to contemplate the possible consequences of last night.

I hope the worst doesn't happen. It's difficult to distinguish signal from noise in the aftermath, but I agree while Brexit played some role this signifies something deeper and more intractable (that is affecting the U.S. and other nations as well).

[CrispyQ]

9. As a species we see the future: a planet with less land mass, but the same number of humans.

We are not on a sustainable path and we've squandered decades. Now mother Earth is going to swat us back down to size. I think as a collective, we see what we've done and what's coming.

[roamer65]

8. English PM Boris Johnson.

That is the correct title for him.

NI will opt to join the Republic per the GFA.

Brexit will give the SNP the push they need to pass indyref2.

[moondust]

12. They want their goddam empire back!

No more of this groveling before the little Europeans and all their rules and regulations! Kings again we shall be! Kings!

[tenderfoot]

13. Judging from the comments, Corbyn is worse than everything Johnson has in store for Britain

He's worse than losing the NHS, he's worse than xenophobia, he is worse than austerity! Oh, and he's anti-semite for questioning Israel's policies.

See America, think twice before moving too far to the left.

[appalachiablue]

17. Without the NHS, Natl Health Service, enjoy 'fish medicine' & 'cat food.'

Medical and cancer care crowdsourced from GoFundMe. Way to go, cuz you 'can't move too far left.'

[Wellstone ruled]

14. Looking for some interesting

Business related topics to surface in the next three weeks. Mass exit of Banking and Manufacturing to the Main land Eourpe.

British Pound will go into the toilet by 25% or more. Jobless rate to nearly double. Real Estate,which seems to be the last remaining strength for Britain,will collapse much like we saw here in 2006.

[question everything]

16. At least he has a dog

[appalachiablue]

18. 'If you want a friend in London, get a dog.' Way to go BoJo & Tories.

[question everything]

19. Oh, the poor chick.

Whiny Donny is so Narcissistic that he cannot accommodate anyone else in his household.
