Fox News Made A Big Mistake When Reporting Britain Leaving The EU

All the news you are likely to read today will be about the EU Referendum, and the fact that Britain has voted to LEAVE the EU.

The result of the referendum was announced early this morning, with 52% of people voting in favour of leave.

Not long after, Prime Minister David Cameron said he will resign and leave by October after the crushing defeat.

But, in among the reporting of all the news this morning, Fox News made quite a big blunder, stating that Britain will actually leave the United Nations, rather than the EU.

The UN was set up in 1945, in an attempt to stop another conflict on the scale of World War II happening.

Membership is open to all 'peace-loving states', and the United Kingdom has been a member since its inception on October 24, 1945. And, it's a pretty safe bet to say we won't be leaving that any time soon.
