In trying to please those wanting to defeat the biggest mandate the British electorate has ever given, do they (British government & opposition leaders) seem to be gradually watering down Brexit over time? Time will tell if they are friends or foes of democracy.
EU debt burdens seem to exponentially increase with time, as the ECB (contrary to principles enshrined) hoovers up gov/corporate debt gone bad from their pals. Classic case of "Socialising losses, while privatising profits!"
Now, why might the British PM choose to make a big milestone speech in Florence, of all the places? Florence seems far away from the regular drinking holes of UK/EU political glitterati. Who were the intended addressees? Apparently, no one of worth was present there.

I think the future of humanity would be a lot more productive with open decentralised much smaller countries, perhaps even completely independent city-states, working together and collaborating towards the growth of collective consciousness. More and more work is being automated, allowing for more and more humans having more time to think! Humanity has only ever evolved through thinkers..

God's green earth has enough resources to provide for every living breathing creature. Except for man! No other creature hoards resources so much.

In 1960, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Harold Macmillan, delivered a famous speech known as the "Wind of Change":
One of the constant facts of political life in Europe has been the emergence of independent nations…
The wind of change is blowing through the continent… Whether we like it or not

Bullshit to protect their continued employment
tags
culture
"people in any organisation have two motivations. One is to create genuine economic value; the other is to generate a protective carapace of bullshit to protect their continued employment. When push comes to shove, people in jobs where productivity is hard to measure (i.e. most modern jobs) will always focus more on the latter." Rory Sutherland, Ogilvy Group UK
