Family rifts over Brexit: ‘I can barely look at my parents’

and this is very much the hot-button issue it's being portrayed as across the world. I'm making it a point not to bring this up when I talk to people here, but so far pretty much every single person outside of our hotel staff has asked me what I think. They really want to know how this is being spun in the US. I answer as politely as I can, and then every single person immediately asks me, "Are you REALLY thinking about electing Trump as President?" Over here, at least when people speak to Americans, it seems that they see these two issues as similar. In some ways they are.

When walking down the street, you'll see windows with English flags hanging out of them and windows with EU flags waving. It's quite interesting to see and to hear folks talk about this. I'd say for the most part people here are a bit embarrassed, as though their version of teabaggers fooled a lot of people into voting to leave. That's purely anecdotal, of course.
