There is a massive 'fear campaign' drip dripping dire news in the UK every day if the people don't reconsider leaving a federated europe. The EU is well past its sell-buy date, won't reform and globalization has taken full advantage of its undemocratic structure for offshore commercial gain.

The divide and rule aspects of the UK EU referendum results are being exploited to the full. Like the last US election there is no good result for the English people - remaining or leaving are both going to have an ugly side. The City of London rules the financial world and enables incredible sums to float offshore via trusts and opaque corporate setups. What we are seeing is a further divide between the haves and have nots.
