So the widespread reports of a burgeoning antipathy on mainland Europe to the EU project and its political advocates are a myth?
Nice to know.

Talking to a couple I know that have just returned from RHodes, they said the Greeks were all congratulating the Brits and really admire what the people have dared do

Talking to people yesterday, they were just beginning to feel ok about things as the stock market had recovered but then end up feeling Dow when the boe govenor and osbourn bring them down again with gloomy instead of positive messages

Those two want us to have a recession in order to prove a point

however we do need to leave asap and the plan will be available in 6 weeks time

The people through the democratic process have spoken and so we must now leave the EU. However, you have no say regarding the speed of exit as that is much dependent on the next Tory leader. The blue rinse brigade will let you know what they've decided on your behalf in their own good time.

Regarding the six weeks time you need to remember with every passing week to knock a week off. Time flies but I think you're already a week in to saying this.

you could have joined the tories and had a vote for the leader but you don't seem very keen on democracy


just to add: my 6 weeks is a politicians six weeks, so lasts for as long or as short as I choose to make it. if you involved yourself in democratic politics, then you could have a say too
The 'blue rinse brigade' is an offensive and sexist description for people who take the trouble to get involved in democratic politics: you are becoming like toxic toastie every day

Too late for that - you need to be a member for 3 months before you can take part in party elections.

The elected leaders of the EU countries have made it very clear that there will not be any negotiations until the UK invokes Article 50

Positions change, people change.
Just because they say something now doesn't make it set in stone.
Once they've been waiting a few months and everything is being held up they should be more open to negotiations.

Absolutely and that will be the case for all parties involved whether it's the other EU countries or us too.
