  5. From the President of Iceland:
    (I like Iceland)
    The outcome of the EU referendum in the United Kingdom is good news for Icelanders and presents an opportunity for Iceland and other countries in the North-Atlantic according to the country's President Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson.

    "First and foremost the outcome is the most serious setback the leadership of the European Union has seen for a very long time,” Mr. Grímsson said, “... and a verdict so grim that it is hard to find words to describe this historic event.”
    First of all, it is now obvious that here in the North Atlantic will be a triangle of nations that all stand outside of the European Union: Greenland, Iceland, Great Britain, Faroe Islands and Norway," says President Grímsson. “This key area in the North will be outside of the influence of the European Union.”

    Britain should look North
    The decision reached by British voters means that the EEA Agreement that Iceland and Norway have with the EU will become more relevant according to Mr. Grímsson which he says the EU has tended to treat it as an afterthought.
    “Iceland and Norway will now, in a totally new way, become participants in negotiations that must take place between the European Union and the United Kingdom, and the European Union and member states of the European Economic Area (EEA) with this new triangle of countries in the North Atlantic.”
    “Our significance with regards to relations with our neighbours as well as the member states of the EU has undergone positive changes.”

    Iceland should look West
    President Grímsson says that in recent years, there has been an increased interest in the North, both diplomatic, economic, scientific, and otherwise. The Brexit results will mean that the UK will want to strengthen the relationship with its neighbours in the North Atlantic.
    “It is enlightening for anyone to look at a map or a globe and study this part of the world, the magnificent Greenland, the North Atlantic, Iceland, Norway, and then south to the British Isles. And then consider, with regards to trade and international affairs between the United States and Europe, and Asia and Europe, the key position this area will enjoy in the 21st century.”

    President Grímsson says this development will also lead to stronger relationship between Iceland and the United States and Canada. The US and Canada will need to adopt a new vision and a new policy for dealing with nations in the North Atlantic who are not members of the European Union. Especially now that the people of Great Britain have voted to leave the EU.

    Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, who has been the President of Iceland for twenty years, will step down in August when a new president is sworn in. Mr. Grímsson has been outspoken about climate change and the Arctic and introduced the Arctic Circle forum in 2013 to facilitate dialogue among political and business leaders, scientists and other stakeholders on issues facing the Arctic.

  10. About time I had a dose of reality then!

    Tell me, how does politics work in your part of the EU?

    Sorry, you want me to comment on chinese whispers now? I simply don't have the time for that!

    As for Thatch Mk2 and her threat to undermine the will of the people of United Kingdom ...
    Well, let's just say, three months ago, I wouldn't have believed her to be so anti-democratic and crass, but now? I'd believe her capable of almost anything.

    Go on, call me right wing, you know ya wanna :D :Angelic:
     
  11. We, the UK, haven't voted to be rid of the people of the EU. It's the oligarchy at the top of the EU structure that we have rejected.

    Why aren't people seeing the distinction? Has there been a mass lead poisoning of the water table since I've been away?

  13. ii merely point out that a BBC jurno has just suggested live on air that there apears to be procedure where another devolved parliament can block a brexit. do i think they will use it? no.
    oligarchy:Hilarious: the oligarthy run inios, barklys, every other major world employer house of lords?
     
  14. Did you see the wee clip with wee Thatch Mk2 talking? She said she is prepared to ignore the referendum where, if you recall, the majority of non-Scottish folk voted to leave the EU, as opposed to her own small minority of clansmen who opposed Brexit.

    One at a time, finm. We've only just manged to kick one malfeasant oligarchy into touch. At least give us until next week to get started on the others! :Hilarious:

  17. fin, I understand perfectly the Indy issue and understand the desire to get out from under Westminster. I wish I could, too.

    But running away from rapist Westminster into the arms of serial killer Brussels just isn't a palatable choice for me.
