Illusory Brexit: There isn't a Door Ahead

Theresa May made it clear that UK won't invoke Article 50 within the year. Imagine the turmoils the British pound and British properties and equities have to undergo within the period, and whether the British voters could withstand the sharp shocks that is anything but short. Other than economic punishments, they now say "the referendum was not binding", but "was only advisory" and that it's something which only the Parliament can decide on... The odds are, they are not going to make it, so long as the matter is muddling on.

 

Agra Fort, India, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The fort also was the site of the battle of the 1857 Indian Mutiny witnessing the end of the rule of the East Indian Company and the beginning of direct British rule in India. Now that India is independent and British Raj no more, the Britons come and go here only as a visitor ......

 

The Fort is a walled city which has been in the location since the 11th century having changed hands a number of times. It was during the reign of Akbar's grandson that the site took on its current state using a lot of white marble. He built Taj Mahal 2.5 km away in the memory of his wife. At the end of his life, he was deposed and restrained by his son in the fort. He died in a tower therein with a view of the Taj Mahal.
