The Black Sheep Herald

I doubt they’re doing it for the complete & deeper reasons that matter to me, but happy to see that little island of integrity, however socialist, resist the siren song of totalitarian lunging Europe. Its people are said to be among the world’s happiest, in spite of the long dark winters, and I think they are the only place that prosecuted and jailed any bankers in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis & shakedown, and they told the European banks they do business with that they would not be paying the bill presented to them as its result.

Iceland’s europhiles abandon hopes of joining EU amid public backlash

ICELAND’S two surviving pro-EU parties have today abandoned their hopes of forcing a referendum on joining the bloc amid huge public opposition to membership.

Whether Quebec, Scotland, Catalonia, The State of Jefferson, all movements and inclinations away from centralized authority are good news from a black sheep’s perspective, and for critical thinking, history aware people everywhere.

If the EU should fail as an entity, that would be best.
