They can rant as long as they want but its on OUR term's to leave not their's!
I hope the new PM delays things alot just to !!!! that lot of shisters off! We have as long as we want! Only when article 50 is drawn does the countdown clock tick!
Do not worry,the Germans are already planning a document for us which looks VERY promising of being on the fringes that would please maybe the 48% who voted remain! Its not all bad news and believe me France (for cheese ,tourism,wine,cars) Germany (cars and finance) Spain (Tourism,wine,cheese) Italy (cars,wine,cheese,holidays) ,will not !!!! things up as they need our imports from them TARIFF FREE!
Remember we import more to them than we EXPORT to them! Its IN THEIR INTEREST not to !!!! us off! :T
Lastly the pollster's all got it wrong except the Telegraph as maybe these polster companies should have come on here to see the tide of discontent!:D0 -
Where is George O - has he gone missing?
He will be demoted most likely as he gambled with Cameron the wrong way! Maybe he might get Foreign office as the new PM has to keep some remains on side or the Tory party will fall apart with infighting again! I think he will be offered a job but most likely will turn it down and go off a become a board member in the city on the winner!
Both of them will begin the book signing and talk circuit lives! Oh deary dear!:rotfl:0 -
There isn't. You're against uncontrolled immigration or you're for remain
Migration was a big concern for me but there was many others issues too!
One being @the lower labour cost and downing of living conditions thanks to economic migration fuelled by CEO's/Multinationals.
Services at breaking point.
Most important> Not in control!0 -
You're a fool if you think this will change any of that. Brexit is little more than vandalism.'We don't need to be smarter than the rest; we need to be more disciplined than the rest.' - WB0

I voted remain but don’t feel that upset.moneyfoolish wrote: »I voted Leave but I certainly don't feel elated today. I feel that I was on a loser whichever way I voted and feel nothing more than unease which is what I would also have felt had the result gone the other way. I see advantages and disadvantages in either path but the vote was devisive and Cameron was a fool to have a referendum. However, although I neither like nor trust him and will shed no tears for his demise, the thought of Boris Johnson taking over is even worse!
The anger displayed by the eurocrats in Brussels shows utter contempt for a democratic vote. Frankly I’m shocked!
Any economic impact, here or in the EU, is as much their fault for talking up the difficulty it causes as it is ours for deciding to leave. If they took a more conciliatory line like; “It’s your democratic right to leave if you wish. We will try to make sure that it’s as smooth as possible so trade can continue as usual. Give us a call if you change your mind in a few years!” then I think the impact on the markets would be greatly reduced.
If they’re not careful they’ll talk themselves into a crisis…0 -

There's certainly a split between the undemocratic euro elite, with their feeling of entitlement and superiority, and the actual leaders of the major economies whose response has been far more measured.0 -
I do remember comments about the amount of our laws that come from Brussels being told (by Remain) that actually its not that many - but now we are told it will take a decade to re-write the European legislation so that it becomes English law.
Truth, as usual, is likely to be somewhere in between.
Likewise, it would be expected that EU heads will put up a show of a hard-line approach. Once the dust has settled (hopefully) everyone will be back down to earth, reckoning what is the best way to make a settlement that doesn't disadvantage either side too much.
A three month 'cooling off' period seems useful to me, and having to elect a new PM (and maybe leader of the opposition?) is as good a reason as any to put that in place.0
