The economy is booming right now. Economists and politicians are not exactly the brightest lights in the dark either. And no entity can survive without borders.

The coastline and the atmosphere are the only borders I respect.

FFS. This is an economic 'make hay while the sun shines' moment. Because business realised that Brexit has been kicked into the long grass and the pound has suffered because of the result a window of opportunity has opened. The longer Brexit takes (which at the latest looks ten years) the recovery of the pound will happen removing the window and just going back to the previous state. Mind you dont ask the people on holiday outside Britain if they think things are recovering or the poor as they dont experience any improvement.

Trading in a single market with a weak currency certainly has plenty of economic upside.

The only problem is that it is temporary until inflation catches up.

Exactly and who is enjoying this brief window?

I did, when I visited recently.

Well I am never in Britain these days. No real reason to visit it.

Your point? Most of us are atheist here.

But what's the point? You don't want to defend Islam, and you certainly don't believe life under Islamic law is okay. We aren't just as bad.

Are you worried that the constant criticism of Islam and Muslims is going to lead us to do terrible things? (We may have already -eh?)

That makes sense to me.
