    It seems someone has beaten me to this business idea to make a bit of money from Brexit:

    I think I might just try and find a car sticker for this personally. :D

    I'm going to point these out to some friends, they're going to France on holiday next month and have already asked me to give them a note vouching for them :p

    China is right behind the call to overturn a democratic result.

    Osbourne has deliberately gone to ground in the hope the markets will get rattled and tank, thus leaving space for him to claim the referendum result is harmful and merely advisory

    Lastly, Labour want a new leader so they can go into the next GE promising to remain in the EU, probably Labours only hope of power

    You are very opinionated for one who didn't follow the camapign:

    Is that scenario only possible if we don't join the EEA/EFTA?

    Surely not going ahead with this is only going to open Pandora's Box and make things worse? As you point out this was a democratic result and, although it's not the result I wanted, anything that undermines this will only make the general cynicism towards politics and politicians even worse. These are worrrying times!

    You know. If I was in a key position within the EU, I would be trying to find out what the key stumbling blocks were which caused specific chunks of the UK to vote to Leave in big numbers. The issues may not be insurmountable.

    I thought politicians and Eurocrats were used to brokering deals. They seem to be able to do it with Turkey and the refugee exchange scheme.

    I can not believe how bad losers the Remoaners are .

    I think a march on London might be called for to show the capital how popular this result is

    Whichever side lost was always going to be a sore loser as there is so much perceived to be at stake. Some prominent chap on the leave side had already signalled prior to the referendum vote that they wouldn't have accepted that losing 52-48 would be the end of it from their point of view - strangely enough winning by the same margin seems to be viewed as the most decisive, unequivocal result possible.

    Quite aside from anything that would be the largest concentration of mobility scooters that London has ever seen.

    Lets not forget that the older generation remember how great we were before the whole EU fiasco.
    They are the ones that have lived the majority of their lives being European. They have seen both sides.

    If the young are so clued up in politics why don't we see a 20 something prime minister?

    The young have never known life outside the EU so cannot comprehend what they have missed out on.
