Seen the Thursday Newsnight. Gove doesn't just look evil and spout lies... he's a neo conservative pro Iraq war candidate that was against the good Friday agreement.

I don't think someone this far to the authoritarian right pushing "radical changes" at the same time as the UK's negotiating an EU exit is a good idea.

I'm worried.

I think Portugal will be playing the winner of Italy/Germany.

Too lazy to copy/paste all of this, but this is an article about what happened with Boris.

Should the UK just override this decision or would such a measure make it worse?

Almost all of the politicians, including those that campaigned that we leave think leaving is a terrible idea. Allegedly at least one of the leave camp according to the BBC was in tears the night they found that people actually voted leave.

You can't make up the absurdity of it all. They put their careers on the line, in the hope that they'd lose, but look like heroes. Their are of course a few (just), that actually are genuinely happy with this. Gove (who's managed to orchestrate a situation where he fucked over both the Prime Minster and the PM's nemesis Boris to climb the ladder) for example, because this is his ownly real path to being PM. Their's been stories in the press dating back a while, that he had the worst net negative reputation in parliament. The public just didn't like him and he was an unpopular education secretary.

The problem is, they campaigned on this and managed to convince middle England of their absurd claims/half-truths to the extent that their would be riots on the streets if the government over turned this.

Cameron's probably the most blame though. He didn't need to hold this referendum. Public support for the EU was higher before this campaign started. He spent his time as PM shifting the blame to Brussels, then campaigned to hold a referendum on the UK's membership if the Tories won. Then he decides to back remaining in the UK (I'd guess, because he wanted to be on the winning side and get more votes next time).

Really stupid. The real ramifications of this though will only be known just before 2020 (the next election). Given alot of people have jobs reliant on EU funding, not to mention businesses moving off from London to main land Europe (potentially), alot of projects relying on EU funding, a likely recession and a break up of the United Kingdom (with Scotland highly likely gone if their's a referendum) ect. Whoever's the next PM is not going to be remembered very well.

When a pitch invader attempting to hug Ronaldo is the highlight, you know you've just watched a bad game.

I'm cheering on our partners on the outside, Iceland. These pansy eu member countries don't interest me anymore.

You know Iceland was closer to joining the EU than Turkey, before they suspended their application. I'm surprised Iceland weren't on the leaflet about evil immigrants invading the UK to take our jobs.

Anyway their's a chance the winner of this match will play the England C team in the Semis.

Apparently Ibrahimovic is joining United. I think he'll have a better season than Rooney even at 34.
