    How do you know I had it too easy? You know nothing about me. The country is split and I've been saying that for years. The question is over the solution. Do you seriously think Brexit will help all the people you care about? GDP will reduce, unemployment will grow, inflation will rise. Who is that going to hit the most.......yes the very disadvantaged types of people who voted for Brexit! Its so obvious!

    Meanwhile in London our wonderful financial centre:-

    No you are confused : you are describing the result of a Labour win in a GE.

    There will be short term fluctuating because all those CEOs, financial wizards, international bodies etc etc who pontificated about the necessity of remain, were, as usual wrong and failed to plan properly for brexit.

    The country is indeed split between those that support democracy and those that don't.

    There is little likelihood of any significant reduction in living standards but hope for better housing, transport health care and increasing international trade.

    The reaction of the EU will be very important : will they break a habit of a lifetime and do what is best for the people of Europe or blindly continue to pursue their own political agenda?

    As a remainer, I find this petition malarkey quite childish.
    The brexiters have won it fair and square with a successful campaign of lies, division, hate and fear.
    There should not be and there will not be a re-run.

    I agree with this. More uncertainty, more lies, more BS soundbites stirring people up in a frothing anger. I don't think I could handle that. Please, someone pick London up and put it in the French Riviera.

    Having said that, I signed the petition purely out of a protest vote that this whole referendum was BS. It should never have been a yes / no vote.

    Its the norm, every generation pays for the current pensions, is Brexit gonna change this? Million dollar question, I'm 45 also perhaps over sold myself age wise.

    I see that you have changed your signature :rotfl:

    And I see Moby is breaching copyright. :p

    Anyway, it's still early days.
    Looks like there's some reluctancy triggering Article 50, and I'm convinced there are already (or will be soon) negotiations going on behind the scenes (away for the hard stance facade from the EU) as to how to go forward.
    My guess is we'll end up with something like a Norway model.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Didn't you get the memo? The world belongs to the people who can be bothered to turn up and vote for stuff.

    Yes, but that doesn't mean this system always produces the best outcomes. It often doesn't. In this case I believe it has produced a bad outcome. But unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a better long term stable form of governance than democracy so we must live with it.

    I have a feeling that many voters also did that in the referendum, and it could account for why we are now in this situation.

    TV journalists have been discussing the Petition, seem to find the idea quite amusing. It was started I'm May and didn't reach the 100,000 threshold till very recently. Since the Referendum it's been getting thousands of signatures per minute.

    Parliament will be forced to consider and vote on that petition but it's expected to be thrown out.
    Anyway the comment was, the story gets interesting once the number of signers exceeds 17 million, the number that voted 'out'.

    Which is actually what many of us were predicting before the referendum. Many leave voters will be pacified that they have "taken back control" and will get back to their regular lives, not noticing that nothing much has changed. Others who were more informed will of course be suitably outraged that they were duped (I'm loving the fact that Farage was used as a pawn to group the leave voters into one lump). Others were probably hoping for this type of deal all along for some reason, my guess is a shake up of the EU while actually not really wanting to leave.

    Of course, the EU will not want to be seen to comply meekly, that is an impossible stance for them to take at this moment even if it is what they probably want. So we'll get more BS posturing and outrage for the next few months maybe dragging out to years :(
