Anger grows at The Boomers EU vandalism

British English is the (I believe) unofficial lingua franca of the EU. They will keep using English because its a language they all speak, but there will be no reason to resist the gravitational pull of American English. Europe is the only place left, pretty much, that still defers to British English as being correct, though many high school students will say x y zee and tomayto now, even though its not what they learn in class.

It might not seem like much, and I doubt Leave voters would care either way, but that, along with the reduction in EU students we will educate, is another erosion of the UK's soft power that will never come back.

so toxic toastie hates his parent and all their age group, his attitude to immigration is no pasaran, hates over half his fellow citizens and now wants to discriminate against american too. because of the way they talk.

Oh yes! New Zealand!! Thank God. We are saved now. Who needs Germany, France, Italy, and the 24 other places who comprise the largest economic zone on the planet.

We are about to get trade advice from a country whose main export requires mint sauce to work.

Thank God you Leave people won.

Global dynamic nimble players we are becoming, whilst you pine for daft old men in Brussels with an ailing lumbering project full of risk and !!!!! at job production. Italians and French now both want referendums, the whole thing is doomed, get over it

Just read through this entire thread and you win. :rotfl:

Lots of emotion still in play evidently, people voted the way they voted becuase they beleved one sides lies/exageration. (I believed the Remain lies more than the leave lies)

Ultimately not one single person who voted knows what they have voted for, we have absolutely no guaruntees of anything happening and anyone that says otherwise is wrong I'm afraid. (This includes Art50 invocation as well!)

Already both sides lies have started to become apparent (dependant on how you look at it) no emergency budget (May happen in he future???) that 350million to NHS was a mistake etc etc.

There is only one groups of people I feel truly sorry for and that is EU citizens living here. Their entire futures are in limbo, they feel that people do not want them here (National Front, BNP, EDL et al have done their best to make that they get that across) and in the words of many they woke up feeling like immigrants where as they went to bed as our neighbours, friends and family.

Finally, people voted for what they beleive was best, in our wonderful soveriegn democracy we had an opportunity to have a say, it should prompt debate not create division

Anxiety and change do hand in hand, but you will see a significant shift towards positive sentiment as people realise the magnificence of this revolution

I hope you're right of course, and I'll be doing my best to make it work, but I fear your euphoria is endorphin induced rather than due to any knowledge of the future.

There's someone on this board who tells us that those making the most forceful and confident predictions about the future are the most likely to be wrong. Ring any bells?

I liked that - an amusing point. The Leave lot may be a joke, but they've been out-joked on that one!

Its a bit late for that.

This wasn't a vote to see whether libraries should open for an extra hour on Saturdays. It has fundamentally altered our country's relationship with the rest of the world for the worse, obliterated opportunities that people took for granted, and stoked far right sentiment.

Yes, its a bit divisive if you don't happen to agree with xenophobic right wing prejudice.

I am not sure which way you voted but in common with most Leave voters you don't seem to understand quite how serious this is, or why Remain voters aren't just going to "get over it".

your voting solution is for a small cabal of trotskyite IRA lovers to decide on behalf of a grateful nation : uncle Joe would be proud of you (except he wasn't a trot)

but then as you hate all older people including your parents/grandparents etc, all tories, all lbdems, all labour except the loony left, all people that believe in democracy, people that speak american and all people from non white non christian non european countries then I guess that only leaves that small cabal.

Do you ever feel that your badly formatted gibbering nonsense would benefit in any way from punctuation and basic syntax?

The odd capital letter, a colon, maybe even - a paragraph break?

Or have you just banged all those keys off your keyboard as you desperately hammer it with your elbows, drool falling from your whiskery chops - in the interim periods when you aren't being restrained by your carers?

I did infer in my post I voted remain and I beleived and still do beleive that it was the right choice for our nation. 17 million people disagreed though.

I'm sick of reading posts labeling leave voters as right wing xenophobes or remain voters as leftie immigrant lovers.

I don't think you understand that so far asside from some uncertainty NOTHING has changed. Things will change and some will make us worse off economically and culturaly IMO but that is what our democratically ellected govenment will need to deal with. We can have our say, we can push our agenda, we can jump up and down and stamp our feet if we want but it doesn't change the fact that we the people have spoken.

I woke up on that friday morning to my wife (EU citizen, not allowed to vote) in tears as she was devastated a country that she calls her home and loves as much as any British citizen would get things so wrong (IN her opinion). You post is patronising and condescending. Wind your neck in!

We all have a stake in our country and fighting amongst each other acheives noting, we need to find a way to move forward together.

Right on queue to highlight my point about name calling.
