Yesterday the British people voted to leave in the EU, e.g., "Brexit". UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage called this the "Independence Day" for the UK from the EU.
By happenstance, today is also the premiere of "Independence Day: Resurgence," the sequel to the disaster movie "Independence Day." In the sequel, the aliens destroy London and Singapore with a megaweapon.
The Brexit referendum is the legal equivalent of that megaweapon. Read more at my earlier post.
We are now in for 2+ years of negotiations on separation treaties and free trade agreements for the UK, EU and their trading partners. More work for lawyers and consultants, but bad news overall.
