If we vote for Brexit what happens

If Remain had won, given all three parties were for remain as was over 80% of Parliament, that would have been it, not a chance of a further referendum offered.
And rightly so.Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -

Germany is currently processing almost half a million non EU asylum applications. The UK, 10℅ of that. About the same number as Belgium.

I believe we are paying the most into camps outside Syria.
Germany has not had vast millions over the last 50 years, nor did she open the floodgates like Blair did for the accession nations in 2004.
We also commit more in Foreign Aid and no one digs deeper than the British public regards foreign appeals.0 -

Implicit in your question (a remain standard line) is the assertion we have not lost rights to Brussels. In which case you wont be missing anything.
James O'Brien always plays this card, thinking it's a killer, lol.
He claims we make pretty all our own laws and rules, so again I have to conclude from this that we wont miss Brussels then as they do nothing.
And yet............remoaners tell us 'we wont be able to cope with amending 40 years of Brussels law'. So we did cede masses of law making then.
My head spins.
What do you think we should spend the £28 million (or so) per day on once we leave?0 -

That's right, European citizens cannot wait to hamper their trade with us and vice-versa, yu'p, you've really thought this through.0 -

Hammond has already pledged to match EU subsidies to farmers, research and poorer regions. That's £6bn/ year so your £28 million/ day is down to £12 million.
The idea that the money tree has just dropped a spare £28m/ day into Hammond's back pocket is extremely naive.0 -

How ever will we manage to decide how to spend our own money, yikes, terrifying stuff eh.0 -
American drugs giant Mallinckrodt has delivered a vote of confidence on post-Brexit Britain by moving its global headquarters from the US to a location close to Heathrow Airport.
In addition, the company switched its tax domicile from Ireland to the UK in the last year.
Chief executive Mark Trudeau said the company had been aware of the potential risks of Brexit when choosing Staines as the spot for its new HQ.
He said: ‘The decision to locate our global headquarters here was undertaken with full consideration that Brexit was a possibility. We believe the other conditions overwhelm the relatively short-term risks.’
Trudeau cited the UK’s stable tax environment and the strategic links – including the airport – as key reasons for the choice
