BREXIT (we'll live and we'll see, everyone is making a guess ...)

I have not slept the night of 23 to June 24; I held the computer open to track statistics. I fell asleep in the morning and when I woke up and found that a small majority decided to divorce from the EU, I felt "tight heart". Me, as new British citizen and my son, a little older citizen, we had the right to vote and, of course, we voted "Remain". That's because we were convinced, at that time, that these is the best thing for us and for most UK poor people.

Asta deoarece eram convinsi, la acea vreme, ca este lucrul cel mai bun pentru noi si pentru majoritatea saraca din Regatul Unit. Acum, la aproape un an de la Referendum, lucrurile s-au mai clarificat, iar nelinistile noastre s-au mai estompat! Am vorbit cu multi bitanici, de origine si din discutii, am presupus ca majoritatea va vota pentru ramanere, dar se pare ca ne-am inselat (opinia din acest text apartine mie si fiului meu). Britanicul nativ a ramas, ori cu amintirea vremurilor, de mult apuse, ori este atat de “dresat” de mijloacele de indoctrinare, in masa, folosite de si in “Media”, in...
