[Politics] Brexit

[GT49er]

We called our own bluff and failed, the EU will not be knocking at our door any time soon, we never engaged with Europe or embraced or led, we were never a force for change within, we always haggled, whinged or demanded opt outs, we won't be missed.

Very good reasons for leaving then, wouldn't you say? Shame we were duped into joining by a dirty campaign in 1975.

We woke up

The eu wont come offering another deal. But we will have another general election soon and we will elect a pro europe governemtn and will stsy in. Heard it here first

I live in Germany and have been humbled by the Germans response. It hasn't been good riddance or worries about the future of the EU or economy. They are more upset that they have lost us because we are a nation they admired for our culture, way of life and sense of humour .

This should be good for all in the long run..

How can you possibly spin what he said as good

Well none of us can really say 100% why each of us voted the way we did, but I'm sure that some wanted us to leave to stop the free movement - but 48% didn't want us to leave, so I'd confidently predict that more than 50% want the free movement of people to continue.

Highly dubious conclusion!

Free movement of people was far from the only issue and I suspect the vast majority of remainers simply felt that the benefits e.g. economic, outweighed the disadvantages of free movement.

On the other hand, practically every Brexiteer that I saw interviewed or talked to cited immigration as their primary reason for wanting out.

Personally, I am relatively unconcerned by immigration and think that the vast majority make a positive contribution to the UK but agree that completely uncontrolled immigration can put great strain on our infrastructure.

Given the similar pressures in many other EU countries I suspect that they'll come to the same conclusion themselves soon(ish).

Just a pity that the clowns in Brussels can't see this yet and we didn't have the patience to sit it out until they do.......

Anyone know of any 'leave' voters who admit they made the wrong choice, given the admission the NHS thing was bullshit & possibly the instant uncertainty in the economy? Would genuinely be keen to know if there's any regretting already?

I don't get how you can say 'we're giving the £350mil to the NHS' and then say 'oh yeh that bit wasn't true' hours after winning?! Utterly bizarre & somewhat fraudulent...?

Also appears there is the start of back tracking on controlling immigration. Seems like the reality is we will still have to accept free immigration into UK From Europe if we want the same for us to travel and work in Europe. Yes we could impose tighter controls on non EU people coming to the UK but we could have done this anyway. Anyone actually have any firm numbers from the leave campaign on how much they plan to reduce immigration from EU countries? Can't say I have seen any and if there are any can they be believed?

Is Canada in the EU?

Erm, clearly not. Strange question!

It clears the air... the EU is certainly not perfect and most probably never will be, but most people don't want to live in a world where haters from "foreigners f*ck off" crowd rule. Brexit is like a huge wake-up call for everyone with at least a little bit of common decency left in him/her. The EU will come out stronger from this mess.




And this is how the rest of the world are going to look at us from now on.

Would you want to trade with that?

 

[GT49er]

Never

You have just contacted your mobile supplier saying you are leaving on the basis of getting a lower cost and an upgrade and they have said fine and bye.
And you are at home waiting for a call to say they we would really like you to come back to us but your phone never rings

Really? That's just you then. Perhaps they don't like you?

Erm, clearly not. Strange question!

The reason I asked was Canada seems to be doing very well for itself outside the EU....as do so many of our Commonwealth partners. I cannot believe some of the bile from the Remain lot tonight. It's poisonous.

 

[GT49er]

In demand for what though?

There's probably a considerable demand in certain parts of Germany for Connie Huq's lingerie. And as you appear to have a monopoly ... ... ... ...

They should be grateful to us then.

OK mate. You are either drunk or stupid, but I won't hold it against you. Oh, and you're a bit of a potty mouth too. Probably your upbringing. Such a shame.

It's hardly comparable is it? Canada's equivalent of Europe is ONE country. There are an awful let of agreements between Canada and the USA which have been worked out over many decades. Canada also only has half the population of the UK and the economy is far smaller.

Look on the bright side our fans at the European Championships in France what be able to get so drunk as the price of beer has just gone up unless they have taken euros.

Even better, perhaps the eu hosting country can refuse to give any Englishman under the age of 65 a visa during a tournament.

Absolutely none, mate; delighted with the outcome.
