In the Aftermath Of Brexit, Brits Google About Irish Passport, Meaning Of EU, and Why it All Happened

Posted by msmash on Friday June 24, 2016 @05:20AM from the search-history dept.

As the world makes peace with the news that the United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union, people in the UK are increasingly trying to figure out what this means. Google noted on Twitter late Thursday that "What is the EU?" was the second top UK question on the EU since the news broke, with "Why did Britain leave the EU?" being the first. The questions also speak volume about the awareness of the issue among them. Understandably, some people also resorted to the search engine to look for Irish passports. "Getting an Irish passport" keywords saw a 100% surge.

Now Old Blighty can start to reverse all of the politically correct rubbish, starting with ending immigration of camel jockeys. Muslims are not welcome here by the majority of Britons. We don't want them here. This is a white, European nation, not the travesty is has become. Schools now cannot serve pork in school lunches because it offends the muzzies. Go back to where you came from -- you and your kind are not compatible with British values. They rape our women, they demand concessions. This is England! Up with Boris Johnson! Up with Nigel Farage!
