(REPORT) — If has been a year of bad omens for the UK’s natural world.
One in ten wildlife species are now at risk of extinction, the landmark State of Nature report announced in September. In sheer numbers, one in six of the country’s animals, birds, fish and plants have already been lost.
The UK is now “among the most nature depleted countries in the world”, it warned.
Into this state of affairs, entered Brexit.
The greatest Xmas lyrics ever. Bar none. Thank you, Mr. Lake. (10 November 1947 – 7 December 2016)
Just when you thought it was safe to venture out of the European Union box, you get presented a bill for 50 Billion pounds,…

When the U.K. voted to leave the European Union, the results were fairly close-- 17,410,742 votes to leave (51.9%) to 16,141,241 to stay (48.1%). It wasn't that close in Scotland, however, where most people wanted to remain in the EU. This was the breakdown in the U.K.'s constituent parts:
It’s a mental illness. An inability and refusal to confront and address the obvious. Hillary Clinton lost. Donald Trump won. In the few weeks Obama has taken every side on every position.

The FBI is right, the FBI is wrong.

It’s lonely knowing you’re right. You’re met relentlessly by the simple-minded and trite. They never seem to wonder what’s right or wrong. We just know.
While the shattering Brexit vote of June had a deservedly chilling impact in Brussels and other European capitals, the grey suits have been busy pushing various lines on the consequences Britain faces for leaving the European Union. The technocrats in Europe will be making sure they make things as difficult as possible. Back in London, rhetoric and deflection is in heavy supply.
Create the meme. And keep repeating it. Don’t worry, Americans don’t read, research and have the attention span of a gnat.

It’s preposterous and redefines specious. And your MSM question not and nothing.
