David Cameron and family
British Prime Minister, David Cameron, today handed in his
resignation. The fallout from the Brexit vote to leave the
European Union, which was the opposite of what he campaigned
for, resulted in his resignation. Me personally, I would not
have resigned. But to each his own. Theresa May, the former
Foreign Minister (Home Secretary), is now the Prime Minister
of Britain. She is the second female Prime Minister in
British history. Two weeks ago, before this rounded out and
May was the only one left standing to be the new Prime
Minister, I tweeted on Twitter that she reminds me of
Margaret Thatcher (see tweet at end of article).

May has appointed former London mayor, Boris Johnson, the
new Foreign Minister.
Whether you agree with May's political views, it is best
that political parties in Britain work together for the good
of the country. Cameron's primary mistake was the joint
press conference with President Barack Obama, who basically
threatened the British public stating do what I say in this
vote or I will financially punish Britain by pushing the
nation "to the back of the queue" in trade deals. It was an
odious comment to make and was ill-received.

People behind the leave campaign in Britain credit Obama
with getting the vote through to leave the European Union,
which is the exact opposite of what the president demanded
the British people do. Obama repeatedly abused the "special
relationship" between Britain and America, in conduct other
modern American presidents simply did not do. An
international visit from Obama has proven political poison
to several world heads of state, who ended up leaving
shortly after or being voted out. Hence the Politico article
"Politico:
How The World Fell Out Of Love With Obama."

I am not of the belief Britain has cause to panic over
Brexit. If you needlessly give off fear and panic, people
will pick up on that and act accordingly regarding
investments and trade. I know London quite well. I also know
some of the home counties in England. Britain is a stable,
civil place with a lot going for it. There are many
financial opportunities available in Britain, which is a
large, prosperous nation with a strong economy. London, the
nation's centerpiece, is a beautiful, bustling city that is
a center of commerce and entertainment for many all over the
world.
My tweet two weeks ago regarding Theresa May reminding me of Britain's first female prime minister Margaret Thatcher
Hold your heads up and be determined in your resolve to
succeed and grow as a nation. Stop apologizing for being
British in trying to fit in more with Europe. And for the
record, there's nothing wrong with European, it is great as
well. Each nation should be unreservedly proud of their
country. There's nothing wrong with being proud of where you
come from.
