Where will Britain go?
Where will we post for the U.K. entities once the formal departure from the E.U. takes place? Still Europe?

Unless they move the whole country down to Australia, I think it's safe to say they're physically still part of Europe just as Norway and Switzerland is.

Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of plate tectonics will appreciate that the UK have been gradually floating away from the Americas for quite some time. It is firmly part of the European continental shelf and as such geographically we are for now part of Europe.

If Ireland - in the EU- is part of the European Union then I think the UK - west of Ireland is in Europe - physically if not mentally.

It's the gradually floating away from Donald Trump which gives me comfort.

I think Trump can claim U K citizenship since his mum or dad was born in Scotland?

Uh, thinking you're looking at the map upside-down.
