I never get bored.

Today was meant to be “Brexit day” But May’s plan got scrapped by the legislature: Tough luck. When people hate you so much that not even the promise of retiring inmediately is enough to finally pass that stupid law, then I worry nothing will.

Back when I was in Highschool this honestly made me uneasy. I wanted to study journalism, and decided I also wanted to do philosophy. So, the -very- optimistic me of 11th grade applied to none other than Kings College in London. As an EU citizen, the bigger headaches (international tuition and visas) were already taken care of.

All of that would be taken away by the Brexit vote, but alas, what little me didn’t realize is that schools like KCL and UCL required upwards of 35/45 in the IB. And that’s for the shitty programs.

If you ask anyone who went to a barebones and recent IBO member school if getting a 29 was feasable... they’d laugh at you. In the end I didn’t even take the program. But Brexit was my top concern for so much time, it’s hard to even forget.

It’s just funny watching this drag on forever, I’d be two years into college in London had I actually gone, I’d be a bigger pain in the ass than I am now. Because at every family gathering I’d be “the one who actually left.”

Anyways, I ended up taking a regular HS diploma and UNAM certificate home. I could’ve gone to college in America, but both my gut and my parents told me not to. The story behind why I’m not The Aspiring Columnist, is that this guy got !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! the week I had to decide my degree and it was far too much for my weak will to hold.

The UK can still revoke article 50... Just sayin.

I'm glad your (wife?) got an extension on her residency.... This seems like it will be an unending burocratic nightmare.

My country is buying coal for power production again, after an 18 year hiatus on the practice. Pretty much everywhere is going to hell.

My suggestion: get every citizenship you can. One country must be able not to go to hell.

Am I understanding this whole Brexit thing correctly?

“Should we have a vote the split from the EU?”

“Sure, let’s do it, it’ll never pass”

Brexit vote passes.

“Oh we didn’t expect this outcome, we really don’t want to exit the EU, fuck the referendum results and the will of the people, all the people voting for Brexit are uneducated backward hicks anyway, and democracy only works when it’s the results we’re after”. 

Is this the gist?

My county, here in the U.K. is wanting to stop a company from digging for coal, yet doesn’t have an issue shipping in the coal from America, Australia, etc... go figure.

Just looking at how many in Europe are leaning against Europe and right leaning.
