[Politics] Brexit

[Two Professors]

I thought he was going to leave the UK if we voted to leave. So what went wrong with that then?

Probably so drug-addled he can't remember where he came from.

Unless I missed it, nobody that matters i.e. Merkel has countered The EU's Trade Commissioner's position yet - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36682735

When you vomit all the over the floor of a nightclub and decide to leave, you do your talking about what's happening next week and whether you're ever allowed back again with the bouncers once you've left, outside on the street. You don't do it in the queue for the cloakroom even if you're a valued customer and it's raining.

I think this analogy is more complicated than the Article 50 negotiations...

Do you even know what fascism is?I doubt it very much.Typical response from an idiot-victims blah blah nonsense blah blah.Come of of your insular little shell long enough to read this description of fascism from Benito Mussolini-don't suppose you recognise the name,but he was a bit of an expert,so you should listen

Some of it sounds amazingly like the EU to me!

If you think that those three points describe the European Union then you're truly certifiable. But I imagine you don't think that at all - you're just trying to make a weak joke about fascism. Why don't you go for a full house with an amusing fake analogy involving the Holocaust next time? That would make your chums chuckle for sure.

The main reason some voted leave i reckon...

... as an example of the not so beneficial EU migrants, you mean?

I had to read it a few times. It doesn't really flow. Might be the cloakroom bit.

Those remainers in denial won't take that onboard. The vote wasn't democratic you know BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WIN !!!!

An interesting link. Goes over the top as Huffington usually does, and furiously stereotypes one section of society, but the point it supports is that truly huge numbers of people voted Leave for reasons that had little to do with our membership of the EU. From that it can be assumed that most people in this country either want to be in the EU or don't give a toss either way. There has to be a better way for deciding the future of our country for the rest of our lifetimes than the crazy X-factor process of a referendum.

Well, that didn't take long - a UK Trade Continuity Act reaches Congress just one week after a UK vote for Brexit.

The proposed bill aims to lock down current trading arrangements between the U.S and the UK, and fire the starting gun on a bilateral deal, with the intention of concluding a trade agreement within one year.

Commenting on the bill, House Speaker, Paul Ryan said, “We need to emphasize that they are our indispensable ally. We have a special relationship, and I think that does mean we should have a trade agreement with Great Britain."

So much for being back of the queue, Barack.

If that's the case, what do you think these bits are about....

they concluded that the elites in neither Brussels nor Westminster gave a fig for their predicament

.....and....

they saw the array of forces lining up to tell them not to vote Leave - EU leaders....

seems to me that the author is very firmly saying that it had a lot to do with our membership of the EU (and how the EU treated them).

Mrs Leadsom faced questions about a 2013 speech in which she said leaving the EU would be "a disaster for our economy".

I think in the last few years the lady has been losing her marbles

The ladys not for turning...

She describes it as 'a journey.' Which is also the title of a fiction book written by Tony Blair.

These bits refer to (a) them feeling that authority in general was ignoring them and (b) that they were sodding well going to do the opposite of what authority was telling them to do.

You really should read the whole of the article that you quoted, unless of course you deliberately omitted the following:

the bill has no power to compel the President to do anything,

So basically not worth the paper it is printed on, back of the queue it is then,

Stop being so pessimistic,anyone would think you WANTED this country to fail just to prove you right. Get over the referendum, and look forward.

Interesting, so if Cameron had come back from Brussels and said ' I couldn't get a deal with the EU and think we should leave' does that mean they would all have voted to remain? I would like to give the electorate a bit more credit for common sense than see them as performing a knee-jerk 'we'll do the opposite' reaction to being told to do something. I think they have had over 40 years to make their own minds up about what the EU means to them and have decided that they are best out of it.

I am looking forward and I can just see the black hole through all the fog.
