Don't think that will happen. Absolutely no need to be ********s and vice versa, this isn't a war. It benefits nobody.

Wait and see how much we pay to be part of things we want to remain involved in, this time without a rebate.

We were Brittania without Hibernia and Caledonii 2000 years ago,so why should change,even if we revert to the bits the Romans named?

I don't view it differently due to my location at all. I view it differently because I'm, generally and broadly speaking, an inclusive, outward looking and cooperative person. I can also see the myriad benefits the EU brings to all manner of economic and cultural areas via cooperation, streamlining, funding etc. But this is fine. I'm reconciled to the fact you guys are leaving. I just hope the EU gets the best deal for us and we go on to be stronger and more integrated. I hope you get what you want.

For clause see democracy. A majority vote for something and their decision will be implemented as promised by the government.
1.) Can you define badly? This second referendum wheeze, dreamt up by the Lib Dems, only after the result didn't go their way, has bog all to do with democracy and everything to do with their desperation after the wipe out at the last GE. This was so transparent even some Lib Dems resigned in disgust. As a certain P Ashdown said on the night of the vote “Any people who retreat into ‘we’re coming back for second one’ – they don’t believe in democracy." Obviously, after we have left the EU, fulfilling the wishes of the majority, arguing and campaigning for another referendum or rejoining is entirely democratic.
2.) The SNP are predictably trying to exploit the situation but a clear majority of Scots don't want a second referendum before we leave according to numerous polls.

Thought you voted for Brexit?
Little England has a certain ring and accuracy to it?

I wonder if when the Tory party decided to call a referendum to think they would for once and for all shut up the eurosceptics in their party and kill of farrige and his band actually realised that indirectly, it would lead to not only us breaking away from our largest trading partner, trashing the pound and push up inflation but it would also lead to a breakup of the United Kingdom.
So presumably in a few years time we will have to redesign the passports to say " the United Kingdom of England, wales and Northern Ireland"
Btw do I take it that when this is all sorted, if my BMW goes wrong or my wife's peugoet , the parts will be that much dearer as they will have to be imported from the fatherland etc, with a devalued pound and import tariffs?

SERIOUS QUESTION TIME
on bbc breakfast they have been going around interviewing the great British public, and those of my age, approaching retirement of retired have all to a man said that by voting brexit, we will make Britain great again!
Can someone give me some clue as to when they are talking about? Assuming we have been in th EU since the early seventies, it must have been in th period after the war to the 70's. Well we were in horrendous depression until around the mid sixties, so presumably, unless they are expecting a new British Empire, they are referring to the time between say 1966 to say 1974Ish?
When did you think that Britain was actually great on the world trading stage?

As and when he said, in other words the economy will decide I would have thought.

Thank's for that Soulman, and as a remainer, that is the only argument from the leavers that I tend to agree with.
It is stupid that we cannot make our own deals as well as being part of the EEC, but was their no way this could be pushed through the EU by our MEP's?
I honestly don't know as we used to get so little info from them, just look at the turnout for voting whenever we had to elect a new one in this country. 30% would be the average. Shows how much interest people actually took when it came to electing people to go there on our behalf to vote on rules put forward by the Commission.
This is where you slip up HT, the other day whilst giving the UK position you stated "you", not us, so I assume you are speaking from a viewpoint of Germany, which is why the "Little England" phrase regularity pops into your conversation.
Only in the sense that I see no deal is possible with the EU before the next UK election. [emoji38]ol:
Whether this means we leave with no deal, or the negotiations go on until after the next UK election... I have no idea.
