Identity...*
The global financial markets greeted the United Kingdom's decision to withdraw with disappointment and anger so is the 48 percent of British voters, many of them young, who wanted to stay.
Until the final days before the referendum, much of the coverage outside of the UK discussed the "Brexit" in economic terms.
For young people in the UK, deciding whether to leave the European Union was a bigger question of national identity, with the "Leave" campaign representing a rejection of current globalization status, immigrants and foreigners.
The former head of Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), Trevor Phillips, has admitted he “got almost everything wrong” on large segment of the immigrants in a damning new report on integration, segregation, and how some are creating “nations within nations” in the West.
A “chasm” has opened up between British Immigrants and the rest of the population on key issues such as marriage, education, freedom of speech and even violence in the defense of religion, according to new research.
Now with the flood of Migrants, in addition to the open labor market in Europe, the Identity and the culture of Britain is gradually evaporating. People can live with less money, but the dissolution of the Identity is something no one can take. Just a thought

Unleach...*

"Good morning Dallas,Texas! Welcome to Unleash the Power Within!" .
Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman says five people were taken to a hospital and more than 30 people attending the event in Dallas have been treated for burns after the motivational speaker encouraged them to walk on hot coals.
Ambulances were lined up outside the convention center just after 11 p.m. Those who were more seriously injured were taken to the Parkland Hospital Burn Center.
A statement issued by Robbins Research International said, in part:
"In Dallas tonight, someone not familiar with the fire walk observed the event and called 911 erroneously reporting hundreds of people requiring medical attention for severe burns. We are pleased to have completed another successful fire walk for 7,000 guests and look forward to the remainder of an outstanding weekend with them."
The coal-walking venue was set up on a parking lot to the north side of the convention center. The injured could be seen limping back to the convention center to seek treatment, according to people on the scene.
It's not the first time people have been hurt at Robbins' seminars. Feel The Burn? Just a thought.
Free Us...*
Even at the best of times Britain has always been a semi-detached member of the EU. Since then Britain has often been more skeptical of the European project than committed to it; the country has been called “the awkward partner”.
Britain eventually joined in 1973, as Europe seemed to be doing so well economically. Over the past few decades British governments have kept their distance as others within Europe pursued "ever closer union". Britain did not join the single currency, and it is not a member of the Schengen passport-free travel zone.
Traditional hostility to the EU has increased in recent years with the arrival of hundreds of thousands of east Europeans to find work, and Migrants, who became a source of threat to the stability.
The country could become like Switzerland, which has an association with the EU, or more like Norway and Iceland, which are inside the European Economic Area, and thus the internal market, but with no power to change the rules of that market. Or, Britain might find a spurned EU an unwilling partner. It is every where. Just a thought
