    You forgot something.

    Sentiment.

    Does the sentiment of E.U. member states politicians seem friendly, accomodating, reasonable ?

    Of course not.




    Eastern border states take huge comfort from having the benefit of the most powerful local military oversight in Europe, you truly are off your rocker if you think Europe will cold shoulder us for real (aside from posturing at being cross with us to save face)

    Well done for realizing being in the E.U. has been great.:T

    That is like an advert for remaining.


    24th June was the point of maximum uncertainty.


    FTSE 250, a crystal ball picture of future investor expectations, recovered and is riding high.


    Don't be so gloomy, you wont loose a penny, be a confident person that embraces progressive change, stop looking back to a small minded past, we're going global and independent

    Every gloomy pessimist is always a 'realist'. I posted up a thread last week of some of the huge numbers of big ticket pessimist predictions made by economists and social scientists of the past, ALL WRONG


    The more definite the pessimist, the more likely he's off his rocker

    Well I've asked for the details of the deal between the UK and the EU for when we leave and those details were not forthcoming.

    How you can possibly state with any confidence (and this goes for the media and economists too) what we will lose, what we won't lose and what we will gain without knowing the intricacies of the deal after negotiations?

    You would need one of those special Delorean motors and a crazy old scientist and a red body warmer, or a real working crystal ball, or clairvoyant abilities to communicate with extra-dimensional beings who can transit through time, or contact with aliens who can also transit through time in order to know what you claim to know.

    Can you see the problem I have with what you say yet?

    (p.s. still waiting for those Euromillions numbers, it's tonight, can you get a move on?)

    I'm ashamed of this country.

    The last place you would like to settle as a foreigner, wasn't it there that they found a monkey on the beach and hung it because they thought it was a French spy? Hence the nickname of Monkeyhangers.

    Yeah, I'm sure whoever did that is alive and well in Hartlepool today. You better start a petition to save all the monkeys from nearby zoos.

    We'd only be pretending to leave.

    As Boris, Cameron, Osbourne, Gove and many others stated before the referendum "Voting Leave means leaving the single market."

    Then again not all Brexit voters voted for that, and with a majority of only 4% the chances are that most of the electorate want a soft Brexit (if Brexit at all). Then again we could have a 2nd refererendum, especially if we get more by-election results like Witney, where the electorate may be starting to realise that they were duped.

    She was booed for saying Brits want to send all Poles home - the classic inappropriate 'race / xenophobia card' pull , all because we want a well managed migration system like Canada


    This just shows the level of ignorance out there


    In martial arts we have a big proportion of Poles there, right across British clubs, all one big happy family, I've never once heard any offensive comments, we are such a tolerant nation, it's such a shame the arrogant liberal class tried to push things to the limit (mass immigration), and spoil what was a dignified immigration system


    Was Britain so terrible prior to Blair opening the floodgates, did cabbages rot in the field unpicked?
