Matt and Mike speculate about the future for the UK after Brexit on this episode of the Thought Police as they disagree fundamentally about whether the United Kingdom or the European Union is more important for the other. They also dispute the potentially unwelcome countries that may be welcomed in, the future for the Eurozone and the potential impact of eating American chicken.
