    This point was regularly made by the remain camp during the campaign. I believe that we will have to contribute but only time will tell.

    I always said we might have to carry on paying a contribution for a while to sweeten the deal and give Brussells an argument tool to be deployed if other nations contemplate a referendum.

    I hope we won't, but as you say, lets see

    Give it ago, I guess only the future will tell. Only 15% of French wine is destined to the UK which is anyway down from previous years. On the other hand UK imports most of its wine from France, then Italy, then Spain, so either Britons will need to fork out more to buy it or will strike some great trade agreements with countries down under and buy it from there.

    You make it sound as it'll so simple, as there will be no other options but for these countries to comply cause otherwise they will make financial suicide though when the UK does exactly the same it's not financial suicide.

    Europeans politics and business work very different from what works in the UK...

    We will adapt in a billion ways and more, I don't fear change and evolution, let's embrace it, all will be well

    None of the other EU countries have said anything, because there's nothing to say yet. They remain welcome in the EU. It's only us that seems to have a problem hosting EU citizens, remember. Everyone else is smart enough to take their tax income :)

    Try getting benefits in Belgium then. Far from a level playing field. There's much of a case of an ala carte imposition of EU policy. Then blocking other member states moves. Some would say cynical and with one view, self interest.

    How would giving Parliament a vote on the terms of withdrawal be 'at odds with the referendum result'?

    It isn't but the Brexiteers will be struggling to relax until we've left.

    All the stuff about how we'll get a sweet deal, democracy and African farmers, trade deficits and sovereignty is a load of crap. They want out as quickly as possible and with as little scrutiny as possible.

    They're so uninterested in anything but the act of leaving they can even justify government attempts to keep the plans secret and not involve parliament.

    You're pretty immune to any of the possible downsides though. Just to put it into perspective :beer:

    Nothing to worry about, in your dreams is about right. Of course Fujitsu is about Brexit, don't believe everything you read, an oft cited denial tactic that Brexit voters use. Like 350million to the NHS a week to manipulate half wits. The more you deny the problems the more idiotic and unforgiveable you appear.

    Regarding a vote about terms, who cares about what Brexiters think now ? They are headless chickens with no plan by and large the very same from the moment they though..."Durr I fink ill be better off if we leave de eu iot will get rid of those muslims and poles, yeah i fink i will do dat" Not even being able to understand the words of professors who clearly explained what was going to happen after.

    Literally that.

    There will be no better deal than what we have, mark my words. And then what we are going to get Bangladeshi's and other third world country people and pay them even less to pick our crops etc. ?

    You Brexit people, what the hell is you think you are owed exactly ? Nothing, is what you are owed and your small minded goal to punish the other for the sake of what laws you don't care about, or even know about most likely. A Mercede's in not your human right. You are owed nothing in this life.

    You will not have a better life, you will have a worse one and 50pct of the country will also hate you for your ignorance.

    Because they will vote to not trigger article 50 EVER. It's a stich up - just you watch Brexit will never happen - the politicians will win and we will will be shackled to the EU forever. The EU is just a way off by-passing democracy.

    If parliament gets to vote on the negotiated terms for Brexit then, by definition, article 50 will already have been triggered and the clock will be ticking. Chill.

    All the sovereigns of the EU will get a say on the terms of the deal - why not the UK?

    There's the hysteria again.

    What on earth makes you think you can categorise everyone who voted to leave in this way? Do you honestly think everyone who voted leave did so because they think they are owed something? Because they are headless chickens? Because they all hate muslims?

    You.. yes, you, are a bigot.
    bigot

    noun
