    What is the will of the people? What is the one thing we know 100% from the ballot paper?

    Everything else is your view on what brexit should look like. The rest of the country has a view too and we have no real way of knowing what that is. I'm not pro a second referendum, it wouldn't work, but I am pro having a solution to brexit where we join the single market with continued free movement. How do I get to vote for such an outcome for our country? Please don't tell me I had my chance because that was not on the ballot paper.

    Has there ever been a time when ordinary people could buy a home without a mortgage. I would not be living in my home rent free without a mortgage on house and car loan to buy a car which I needed to be able to work.

    I hear this phrase debt junkie I'd like someone to define it.[/QUOTE]


    Someone who can`t live without debt and doesn`t see any value in saving.
    What do you mean can't live without debt almost everybody who buys a house needs a mortgage but that mortgage benefits them greatly in the long term. Seeing value in savings is a meaningless statement.

    I suppose you could always start a petition?
  • Legally binding or not, Brexit will happen, so the moaners might as well get used to it. There's nothing worse in life than a sore loser. :D

    I've not seen much evidence of 'sore losing' over the past few pages.

    You say that "Brexit will happen" but what I think most people are concerned with is exactly what Brexit will look like. I'm one of those.

    I want to get on with planning the next stage of my life, and I think that my family and I will prosper more in an area that has free movement of people and free market access - essentially I quite like idea of having the freedom to be able to live and work where I feel is best for me and my family.

    If the intention of Govt is to negotiate this away, then I'd quite like to know so that I can plan accordingly.

    I too think brexit will happen but let's be clear. You said it was 'utter tosh' that the referendum wasn't legally binding - you were wrong.

    14th September and so far we've ascertained brexit means brexit plus 'the plan' (which doesn't exist) is a state secret stored with the nuclear codes.

    In the Tories we trust I suppose.

    Pretty much my feelings. Although I have access to the EU anyway with an EU passport, but my partner currently doesn't (she could apply for one).

    With no ill wishes toward the UK, at this stage I would not mind if finance IT (or other IT) shifted to Europe as I would quite enjoy a change. I'd just like to know sooner rather than later because I'm at the point in my life where certain decisions need to be taken.

    Again?
    Really?
    I will quote an earlier post of mine - made before the release of mentioned gadgetry:
    And quite right too.
    I wouldn't want the opposition to know what I was planning - so that they can prepare countermeasures? Nah. ;)
    When they feel ready to face each other is fine.
    Despite those who would rather know every detail beforehand.
    It's just NOT good business.


    Almost every company knows this and practices that very approach.
    Apple iPhone7 anyone? :D
    Do you seriously think every Apple shareholder knows full details of the iPhone7?
    :p

    Absolute tosh. Perhaps you'd like to explain what the referendum was for,if it's not binding? Your just another loser who can't accept the fact you lost.

    Brexiters who say ‘you lost, get over it’ still waiting to discover what they’ve won
    The mystery Brexit prize is causing much excitement among patriotic Brits who are delighted they’ve successfully taken back control.

    “I can’t wait to find out what it is,” enthused Simon Williams of campaign group A Nation United in Sovereignty (ANUS).

    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    You will be very welcome in Luxembourg.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.
