A lot of times in America, we like to act as if our politics and goings-ons are all that really exist world-wide, but with the growing tensions over Britain’s Brexit controversy, it is becoming important that knowledgable American citizens become aware of the identity crisis-turned violent overseas.

There are bitter divides between the two schools of thought, and it is believed that this controversial issue is what spurred the violent murder of parliamentarian Jo Cox on Thursday.

Watch.
