\"BrexitUpdate (September 7)<\/strong><\/p>\n

After an extensive analysis of the truly overwhelming reaction<\/a><\/em> to this article, it seems like Brexiteers are marching into battle (but not to victory!) largely unchallenged, which, in all fairness, is really not fair.<\/p>\n

Having won the EU referendum by the slightest of margins is one thing, but launching unfounded sarcastic attacks towards all young people in the UK, labelled as Remoaners, is clearly ungentlemanly.<\/p>\n

No generation is without fault, but isn\u2019t the UK\u2019s young generation the one that will have to live longer with the Brexit consequences? Come on, lads and lasses, where are you? Don\u2019t be so passive<\/a><\/em><\/strong> \u2013 after all, it\u2019s your future!<\/p>\n

Now read the original article, comment and share:<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstand this: things are now in motion that cannot be undone.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Brexit:While it would be unwise to question the unquestionable wisdom of the amiable yet powerful wizard, Gandalf\u2019s words ring truer than ever now that the UK voted to leave the EU on that fateful Thursday (the 23-rd day of June, 2016).<\/p>\n

Already burned in the minds of all Britons, 52% to 48%<\/em><\/strong> is the referendum result that will be remembered for many years to come. The rules of the game are changing too fast to be eligible for fair play, for the historic majority Leave vote will have wider implications than anyone has ever dared to predict.<\/p>\n

Brexit!<\/em><\/strong> No single word in recent European history has caused such deep controversy \u2013 a white-hot dispute that showed just how greatly divided modern societies have become.<\/p>\n

Brexit!<\/em><\/strong> The titanic clash between people scared of globalization and those that welcome it has successfully bred dangerously high levels of fear, xenophobia, nationalism, mistrust, and disillusionment.<\/p>\n

Brexit! <\/em><\/strong>The state of limbo where everyone is quick to blame everyone else while the foreseeable future ahead looks gloomier and spookier than ever.<\/p>\n

One thing is crystal clear: the unpredictable Brexit future will see unprecedented levels of movement as large masses of UK citizens and EU nationals will be moving in or out of the country. In fact, the Great Migration is already under way and the big Brexit question for you is, \u201cShould I move out or can I please stay?<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Take a sneak peek at\u00a0an\u00a0awesome Brexit Infographic (UK and EU: a Brexit Story<\/a><\/em>) at the end of this article for some jaw-dropping statistics about the imminent exit of the UK from the European Union.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brexit was a shocker: the domino effect<\/h2>\n

With more than 30 million British citizens casting their votes to either Leave the European Union or Remain in the EU (referendum turnout of 72.2%, see EU referendum results<\/a><\/em>), the morning piece of news that the Leave campaign had won the majority of votes came as a genuine shock to the millions of Remain supporters who didn\u2019t believe the unthinkable was possible.<\/p>\n

\"The
Isn\u2019t Brexit, with its forceful creation of new borders, a horrifying reminder of a dark period in the history of Europe? August 13, 1961: an East German soldier trying to help a young boy cross the barbed wire fence where the Berlin Wall would soon be built. The guard was later caught and punished severely for what he\u2019d done.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And yet, it was not only possible, it was already a fact that circled the globe in a matter of hours, sending shock waves to every corner of the planet. The entire world was taken aback \u2013 after all, no state had ever left the European Union before in the bloc\u2019s 59-year history! The initial and largely instinctive reactions like What?<\/u><\/em>, But how?<\/u><\/em>, and Why?<\/u> <\/em>could do little to change what had happened.<\/p>\n

You must be well aware of the domino effect, right? When one event sets in motion a chain of similar events, the speed with which things are happening one after the other is simply breathtaking.\u00a0Many scientists have attempted to <\/span>measure the velocity of toppling dominoes<\/em> (aka intrinsic angular speed of the domino cascade) but the important thing here is that once the centre of mass of the first domino is pushed past its critical angle, the rest of the dominoes will begin to fall with constant speed regardless of the initial force.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s debatable whether the EU referendum itself was that initial force that started the entire chain of events. Some believe that it all began as early as 22 January, 2013 when Prime Minister David Cameron gave a speech in which he said that if the Conservatives would win the next elections, they would renegotiate the UK\u2019s relationship with the European Union. He also promised that by the end of 2017 the British people would have the \u201csimple choice\u201d whether to stay or leave the 28 nation bloc.<\/p>\n

Simple, right?<\/p>\n

On 20 February the referendum day was announced and\u2026 we all know about the immediate\u00a0Brexit aftermath. Right after the national declaration of the vote results,<\/p>\n
