If we vote for Brexit what happens

A new low for Farage as he blames Merkel for the terror attack last night.

Then when Jo Cox's widower points out that he might want to think carefully if he is going to start blaming terror attacks on politicians, Farage calls him a terrorist.

I would say this was unbelievable. But in the reason-less, "up is down" vacuum of ranting UKIP ideology, I suspect this doesn't even come close to unbelievable.

The world should just turn its back on UKIP.

At least this statement will have booted another few tens of thousand over to Remain. And thats the only good thing I can think to say about it.

The world should just turn its back on UKIP, and the scummers who support them.

Does'nt matter how many are booted over to remain, still wont change the vote.

Thank you, a perfect emmendment. I wish I had written it myself but I will use it in future.

This is all WONDERFUL news. I am delighted that the good news continues while we prepare to exit the EU.

Don't take it personally. But you sound a miserable old !!!!!!.

Oh, how I love an alleged thief telling me that something is a badly thought out plan.

Maybe allegedly stealing from your own family is a badly thought out plan too, and maybe leaving the single market is a badly thought out plan.

Note his arrogance when charges were dropped, but also note how he wanted to promote accountability, when obviously he couldn't be accountable to either himself or his father.

I thought he wanted to remain Independent (although he did lose his seat), so why is he writing for an organisation working with the Conservatives? Either hypocritical or he lied.

Not someone I want to take advice from.

Facetious comments are I suppose infinitely preferable to the more-usual bile seen in these forums.
I should perhaps point out however that sarcasm is certainly NOT the highest form of intelligence as stated by Oscar Wilde; the posts above clearly demonstrate evidence of this.


Ahem.
We?
Yet again, WE here in the UK are indeed within the EU for now - though many of us note that this is only when it suits those within the EU. See the recent Brussels meetings and attitudes towards our PM for evidence.
YOU however are an avowed anti-British EU resident of Luxembourg who will remain in whatever is left of the EU when the UK have long-since left.
As such I ammend your post:

Ever considered that our PM gets cold shouldered because our attitude stinks the place out. We are like the racist grandad at the Christmas Party. I'm embarrassed to be British these days. Europeans look at us and think of Farage and Trump:mad:

it doesn't take much for the left's distain for the ordinary person to come to the surface:
the longing for a firm fist of a dictatorship of the party ;
the historic hatred of democracy (unless it gives the 'right' result);
the extremism of the left that thinks any dissent is racist bigotry;.
the total absense of any moral compass
the typical self hate and lack of balanced judgement

you deserve the likes of Corbyn, DcDonnell and Abbott but the decent people of the UK don't
I'm ambassassed you're British too.

I am Looking forward to some good British economic news. There should be some today as Britain prepares to exit the EU.

You and Brendan may not like him, but if he's right about Merkel's open door policy leading to the importing of migrants (not refugees) who already do, or will eventually wish to harm German citizens where does the fault lie?

I'm not going to stand idly by and watch people whitewash the truth on topics like this anymore just to re-iterate how much they dislike Farage. Pick anyone you don't like, pick the person you dislike the most in the world, then imagine they told you the sky is blue and water is wet. Are they wrong because you dislike them? No. Cox seems to think that you can't blame politicians for mistakes they make because of what happened to his wife, wrong. Harsh to say out loud, but he is wrong. And Farage in his assessment of how Germany will view the multiple terrorist attacks they've been subjected to over the past 12 months is correct. Merkel will be remembered for the open door policy, for and the attacks that followed, it's the thing that will come first to peoples minds when they hear her name in 20 years time, in the same way Iraq is with Tony Blair.

Yeah.
Right.
In which case you might just like the following although - judging from your previous comments - that is unlikely.
But here you go.

UK economy "in good shape as it heads into 2017":

We think the UK economy will enter 2017 in a good position, with a solid year of growth and low inflation behind it. It looks as if the more gloomy forecasts of a substantial inflation spike and much lower growth will need revising upwards.

To aid that opinion, the latest CBI retail figures look good:

.... better than the previous month's performance and beat economists' expectations of a slight slowdown.

Changing tack slightly I noted a piece yesterday about UK banks preparing for Brexit.
Seemingly banks are considering legal action against the European Comission if they make life difficult for banks:

In a report drawn up for banks lobbying for a "transitional" Brexit deal, law firms Linklaters, Clifford Chance, and Freshfields say there is international legal precedent for a case should rights to operate across the continent be withdrawn suddenly. Specifically, they argue that under the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, companies "have a right to 'legal certainty' of a stable regulatory environment", says The Independent.
