FN+F7

At least for the past 3 laptops I've used.

Going to UK this summer, Kemii. Wanna meet up? :D I'll be travelling around a lot, for sure.

On-topic, people in the UK are really getting fed up with all that **** the EU's been throwing at them and they have every right to be so. But in the end, the EU only brings benefits to UK. About UK becoming a non-priority market for US if they leave the EU - why? Just because Obama said so?

But yes, UK's economy will suffer if this happens. The UK depends on trading with countries from the EU - both import and export - since the country doesn't have much national resources as it is. The Queen won't save UK's economy with just her crown and witty remarks, is what I mean. UK shares will also drop significantly, unless the country shows that it can not only deal with being outside the EU but also grow. But how will that happen?

And about the lack of alternatives in the US - the only logical candidate I see is Bernie. I am honestly baffled with any Americans even considering Trump or that crazy lady who doesn't stand too far from Trump in her views. And the problem is there are already many who vote for them. Why? Is logic really eluding the Americans so hard that they think Trump will "make America great again"? If anything, he'll ruin the country and plunge it into wars all over the world - not necessarily in this order.

Course I would if you're ever in either Newcastle or Edinburgh.

Outside of the EU there is pretty limited trade for the UK, do we join Scandinavia's trade circle? We're to far away to take advantage of the Eastern Block trade group, we'd literally be told to float on our own (get it? we're an island). Our industries here are already failing to cope with Chinese, our steelworks are in a state of collapse. We lost our car manufactory, our textiles just to name two. What are we going to actually live on? Oil prices have dropped so we can't even use them as sustain.

Yeah, that's it. The UK has benefited so much from EU trade that most of its citizens haven't realized that on its own the country's economy is a wreck. Leave the EU and you'll pretty much enter economic stagnation immediately, followed by bankruptcy, which may even lead the country into a state of socialism, since that's the only regime that works in poor countries. But no, even socialism won't work, because there's nothing to create factories for. Look what happened to Greece. If the UK leaves the EU, its fate will be the same. But Germany won't be there to pour money anymore.

Damn, I'd really like to go to both cities, I swear, but they're a bit too far from Wolverhampton. It says 4 hours by car or 1h by plane from Birmingham. I'll think of something.
