12. Brexit turned out to be a big mistake

Tuesday

I was here just before the referendum, and the prevailing attitude was, “I’m tired of hearing about it. I wish they’d get it over with.” Now there are calls for a new referendum.

The UK is close to kicking out the US from bases here per Greenland, a huge issue. Unless Starmer is involved in child trafficking or espionage, stability is what the UK needs, as does its allies. Why Starmer would appoint Mandelson as US Ambassador with Peter’s “Epstein background” is curious. We’ll see what’s in the police files soon enough.
