    Like the remain camp, the leave camp has many views.
    Do you have a specific point you want to make?



    Time will tell if the U.K will regret the leave decision. Potentially Scotland separating, economy fracturing who knows


    But as I said last, there are people made the choice to leave for the wrong reasons and will come to regret it

    what were the wrong reasons in your opinion?
    the ability of the UK parliament to make our laws?
    anyway I'm content that the people would made the choice for the right reasons will celebrate the future.

    If we stayed and things got worse as I believe they will, people would now be bleating they voted to stay based on mis-conceptions fed them by the establishment.


    The EU is a decaying corpse, we've bravely grasped the nettle

    Perhaps. However if they don't like the decision they have only thereselves to blame for it. If more of them had bothered to get out of bed & vote the result would have been Remain.

    You have evidence they were in bed at the time?:)

    Probably true but that will not stop them feeling aggrieved at the boomers.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    The EU's urgency to begin our exit, strikes me as a good bargaining position for us.


    They want normality to resume asap and get the markets settled. This gives us quite a bargaining chip in regards of terms of trade.

    The winning side need to pull their finger out and get on with things. Right now there's no plan and it looks like there's going to be months of political infighting before anything starts moving forwards. Add that to those people who voted out but now think they shouldn't have and it does indeed start to look like a Great Farce...

    Pretty disgusting that no politician seems to want to step forward and take responsibility for what they've done. 4 months to trigger Article 50. !!!!!!????
    "We say here together, this process should get under way as soon as possible so that we are not left in limbo but rather can concentrate on the future of Europe," Mr Steinmeier said. Bert Koenders said the continent could not accept a political vacuum, saying "this will not be business as usual".
    “It’s in Britain’s interest and in the interest of Europeans not to have a period of uncertainty that would have financial consequences, and that could have economic and political consequences,” Mr Ayrault said.
    Martin Schulz, a German Social Democrat and the European Parliament chief, said it was “scandalous” that British prime minister David Cameron may stay in office until October, so holding up talks. Speaking on German television late on Friday, he said Mr Cameron had “taken a whole continent hostage for the internal party considerations” of the Tories.

    Couldn't agree more.

    Someone in the Tory party needs to grow a pair. They promised us a Post-Brexit Shangri-La now they need to deliver.

    what vacuum is that?
    will the EU stop producing goods and services?
    will they stop trading?
    will the water taps run dry?

    just a lot of hot air for the benefit of their egos and their voters.

    Petition already at 1.6 million. Suspect it needs to be over 10m before Government will listen!
