subject: Brexit -- hindsight 2020

Hello Bj”rn,

 BF> Now that we for the first time in human history can have a true hindsight
 BF> vision of 20 20, I was reminded of what it was like when I was called to
 BF> make service on ships unfortunately stranded in east Germany.

The USA used airplanes to save folks stranded in Berlin.

 BF> At the border, we always knew that we would have to spend at least 12
hours,
 BF> so we always had covers annd pillows handy when trying to pass.

Airplanes are much faster, and do not need to anchor at sea.

 BF> Now, as the east/west border of Germany is history, the England/Europe
ditto
 BF> seems to be emerging?

Historically, it has always been England vs The Continent.
Even during WWII, the British looked at themselves as being
apart from those who lived on the continent of Europe.

What will happen next is the reunification of Ireland, which
remains part of the EU. Catholics now outnumber Protestants in
the northern part of Ireland, so this will come sooner rather
than later.

Scotland will declare its own independence, and then Wales ...
