"I hadn't really thought about it"

There are probably a lot of people who don't quite understand what Brexit's ramifications are. While I wouldn't normally suggest that people watch a comedian to get the gist of what's at stake, John Oliver does a bang up job.

Caution: Language may be offensive to some.

Finally found the time to sit down to watch this. As you may remember I was born in Northern Ireland & grew up there. I left to move to Canada at age 16. I have family & friends that I am in constant touch with & we visit there every few years. I still hold a European passport!

I think the whole Brexit thing is completely ridonkulous but poor old Northern Ireland will suffer more than the rest of the UK. It's already causing a resurgence of 'troubles' there and things are bound to get worse....the hard boarder between the North & South will cause nothing but headaches in all manner of ways, & very likely a return of the violence I grew up with in the 70's.

Two things I wish we could have a 'redo' of knowing what we all now know…..The US 2016 Presidential Election & the Brexit vote....maybe if I wish & hope & pray really really hard it will happen..…… or maybe I'll wake up & find the last 2 1/2 - 3 years have all been a bad dream.....We've gotta have hopes & dreams right?????? right???
