United Kingdom & European Union Referendum : Britain Votes to Leave

June 24, 2016 by GµårÐïåñ
Brexit Referendum 2016

The United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, known as the EU referendum in the United Kingdom, was an ongoing plebiscite finally taking place on 23 June 2016. Membership of the European Union has been a topic of debate in the United Kingdom since the country joined the European Economic Community in 1973.

The referendum resulted in an overall vote to leave the EU, by 51.9% to 48.1%. However, the vote was split between the constituent countries of the United Kingdom, with England and Wales voting to leave, and Scotland and Northern Ireland voting to remain. In response to the result, the Scottish Government announced on 24 June 2016 that officials would plan for a “highly likely” second referendum on independence from the United Kingdom. Financial markets reacted negatively to the outcome: share prices fell drastically, as did the value of the Pound sterling (5–10% during the initial hours after the decision). The referendum was connected to internal fighting within the governing Conservative party, and the Prime Minister stated he will resign as his side lost the referendum.

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
