UK Second Life Users Already Planning Virtual World Brexit Parties

With the UK's Parliament rejecting a final deal, the country is careening toward a final Brexit from the European Union in 17 days. The streets of London will probably not be full of celebration, but the virtual streets of London City in Second Life plan to be kicking:

We're having a Brexit Party. Top Tunes with a leading Brexiteer DJ. Hurry on over cos 'Britain is open for business'

"I would think many people will to the party out of curiosity," London City owner and Brexit party host Torric Rodas tells me. While he's personally supportive of Brexit (like the DJ), he tells me most members of his UK-based Second Life community are ambivalent: "I do not believe that most members of London City are Leavers," as he puts it. "I believe it is still as deeply divided as the original referendum was." At least in the virtual world, any fisticuffs and general rioting won't lead to actual bruises.

/me compares that type of bollocks to a party celebrating the biggest celebrity on earth these days: the notorious donald john trump.

the real world UK is not going anywhere on March 29.

there will be an extension. There will be a a 2nd referendum. If the 2nd says the same as the 1st then the UK will leave. Its 2-nil and can't say fairer than that. Like cricket.

If the 2nd referendum says Remain, then the UK will go for 2 out of 3.

Its what British people do. Its not only quintessentially British to be fair (at least to each other), but to also be seen to be fair.

and the EU people will allow the British people to play this all out.

it will drive some people nuts if it does go to a 3rd Test but well that's cricket and UK people love their cricket

I presume that there won't be a 2nd Ref, unfortunately. "Unfortunately" as the former Brexshit-Propagandists like B. Johnson and that UKIP-Twat + former head of UKIP, who's a also a Member of European Parliament, collecting money from the EU, already left the Titanic.
