Brexit result is a symptom of a deeper systemic crises

  Britain has voted for independence from the EU. It has resented the control by Brussels over its decision making. Notwithstanding the irony that the country – and continent – got rich on the back of  colonising and colonising other nations in the 19th and 20th century, there are several important points that emerge from the result of the EU referendum: 1.

Fasting in Travel (Safar)
