GO FIGURE!

Go figure! is a term nearly everyone is familiar with, but buried in there is an irony or paradox about humanness.

That's right, human behavior. Let's look at an example but first a little rewind back to the recent Scottish in-or-out referendum. A lot of voters there wanted to break away from Britain. 

It was pretty simple. These voters believed they were getting less of less without much input or representation. Parliament was just a place off somewhere running the old out-of-sight-out-of-mind scheme.

When it became clear that the issue was going to come down to the wire, many in the UK, including most politicians, grew increasingly concerned and started rolling out the old scaremonger tactics.

It was clearly an issue about coffers, yours or mine. And that's humanness.

Now British Prime Minister David Cameron apparently has his own in-or-out issue reportedly set to be on the 2017 election ballot if he gets re-elected. 

The beef with Cameron and many British among other things is supposedly about immigration. We don't know about you but it sounds to us likes there's a Go figure! in there somewhere.

Then there's the recent bill those Brussels bureaucrats laid on the good prime minister with the not-so-implied threat of pay up on time or get fined.

Britain's crime apparently was structurally and successfully revivifying its economy after the big recession hit. Buried in here too is the term austerity, the bane of every EU bureaucrat. 

As one UK wag we spoke to put it: "Britain should just tell the EU to take their volumes of rules and regulations and that fine and lump it. 

And conclude the message with a capital: GO FIGURE!"

Meanwhile, here's an interesting post from former UK Prime Minister John Major's recent talk in Germany.

One of the key points is the "interference in day to day life" of UK citizens and that, my thirty friends, brings us once again full circle to a sovereignty issue, the bane of all globalists.

Here's an update on Cameron from an editorial he gave the The Guardian over the weekend.

David Cameron has issued a stark message that “red warning lights are flashing on the dashboard of the global economy” in the same way as when the financial crash brought the world to its knees six years ago.

Writing in the Guardian at the close of the G20 summit in Brisbane, Cameron says there is now “a dangerous backdrop of instability and uncertainty” that presents a real risk to the UK recovery, adding that the eurozone slowdown is already having an impact on British exports and manufacturing.
