    Well they can join up with Spain and see how their fortunes fair with them and their granny batoning police. Otherwise if they want to stay British, they can accept the democratic referendum, shut up whinging and make the best of it.

    You are an outsider and with the British it's always a case of ...“You are either with me or against me”...

    The question is why is this piece appearing in Mercopenguin, a British government propaganda organ supposedly devoted to America, South America and the “South Atlantic”?

    @Voice
    You really think it's only the British who think that way? Americans at least seem to have the exact same attitude, I always assumed it was more or less universal.
