Where debating everything under the sun is only the beginning

On English as the EU working language. It ain't going anywhere.

Welche Folgen wird nun der Ausgang des Referendums im Vereinigten Königreich auf das Sprachregime der EU haben? Wenn die Briten bleiben, gar keine; und wenn sie gehen, auch keine. Denn zum Glück ist da noch Irland.

EU's language policies?

The EU institutions pass laws that apply directly to everyone in the EU. Everybody — individuals, organisations and the courts — must be able to understand them, which means they must be available in all official languages.
Using as many national languages as possible makes the EU and its institutions more open and effective.

PS Ireland natively speaks English. The article I linked would have it a little differently than you:

Which consequences will the result of the referendum in the UK have on the EU's language policies? When they stay, none; and when they go, none either. Because luckily there's still Ireland.

A forward-looking president would view Brexit not as a setback, but as an opportunity for the U.S. to expand commerce with the United Kingdom still further. And this will be much easier to do now, because trade deals with post-Brexit Britain will no longer be subject to the whims of Italian tomato farmers, Spanish vintners or other unrelated special interests with grudges and special markets to protect.

Indeed, one of the strongest arguments for Brexit within Britain relates directly to this fact. Daniel Hannan, the soon-to-be former member of the European Parliament who writes a weekly column for the Washington Examiner, has repeatedly pointed out that such petty intra-EU bickering has up to now prevented the U.K. from finalizing favorable trade deals even with its own fellow Commonwealth nations of Australia and Canada.

A view that Europeans (or Britons?    ) are unlikely to see:

But absolutely, sulking isn't a good strategy. Get on with it, make the best of it, muddling through is what the European Union has done now for over a decade. The EU as we know it today is thanks to Britain. Now they will presumably go their separate ways.

“So - and I’ve said this before - the person with the most thought through plan, as evidenced by the past 48 hours, is, astonishingly, Nicola Sturgeon, the first minister of Scotland”.

Scotland didn't even qualify though.

The claim: An independent Scotland could remain a member of the European Union while the rest of the UK left, in effect taking over Britain's membership of the EU rather than having to start a fresh application to join as a new country.

Reality Check verdict: The situation is unclear. If Scotland were to hold a second referendum, and become independent, it could apply to become a member of the EU in the usual way. And it is now more plausible that EU member states would try to speed up the process for Scotland than it would have been at the time of the 2014 independence referendum. But we cannot say if it would be able to continue as a member without going through some sort of application process.

The BBC says otherwise.

Incidentally Icelandic football (though not the national team I think) has been sponsored by Jon and Vivaldi for three years now. So now you have a browser vendor to blame for Dutch, Portugese, Austrian, English, French? upsets...
