Brexit: UK votes to leave EU in historic referendum
#26
Here's one that shows the average mentality of people today.

Angry Brits are demanding a re-run of the referendum following Friday's narrow decision
to leave the EU.

A petition calling for a second EU referendum has topped TWO MILLION signatures - more
than doubling the highest signed in parliamentary history.
The popular petition, which was started just one day ago, attracted so many signatures when
it first opened that the government's website crashed.

The enormous surge followed the initial 100,000 signatures which were created in a bid to get
London Mayor Sadiq Khan to declare the capital as independent.
Protesters are hoping that Khan will call for London to be classed separately from the UK and
therefore be able to apply to join the European Union.

SOURCE:

What isn't said is that only 35,000 are British signatures and 13,000 of them are French!
Think about that, a country decides via a ballot to do something and those who disagree
with the outcome demand that the country goes again... AND some of them don't even
live that country!!

But, the idea of creating a 'Vatican'-like capital for the sake of no getting one's own way in a
democratically-agreed ballot tells you a lot about today's society.
