Shame The Beatles weren't allowed to work in Europe until they became big. Oh...

Perhaps now is the time for the phoenix to rise from the ashes, with British cars for example, we have the skills and the knowledge, BMW, VAG and Mercedes, can do one.
Now wouldn't that be great the limit is endless now.

So what cars do Britain make and other "stuff" ?

Please tell us..........

Read above and you will understand the bigger picture.

Do you really think that the UK has progressed in the past 40 years only because we were part of the EU? It's amazing that the USA has been able to have a black president and maybe a women president, when they have not been part of the EU.

We'll never know what The UK may have been like had we not been part of The EU. Just like we'll never know what The UK may have been like in the future had we remained when we leave. I don't think you can compare The USA to any other country though, European or not.

It's a precedent, albeit with major differences. Britain's fishing industry has been profoundly damaged by EU policy and the CAP has cost us billions.

That's the answer , we'll all become ****ing fishermen, then

Only 1million in it and London's vote was 10% less due to adverse weather. Should be another vote.

But they wouldn't all have been Remainers though would they? There's some really sad losers on here. It's called democracy.

What can they debate?
"There has been on online petition with 100,000 (or 1,000,000 signatories) who voted remain but are now crying. I think we should allow another vote, but we'll exclude those nasty pensioners and manual workers. Just let the luvvies vote. All those in favour".

So you are really basing your reaction on the markets on the first day after the vote.

You're obviously not blessed with much on the way of intelligence are you? If you really believe your comment then you are really dumb.

Nobody is basing anything on one day. Sadly, people like you will eventually realise what a terrible mistake this country made this week. Whether it is sooner or later is debatable but it will happen.

Now we're stumbling blindfolded towards the 1960's, will The Beatles reform?

Beeching cuts reversed? Bit of a downer if you house was built on a closed railway line?

Yes mate, you really must be on acid.

You asked:

"How are these answers bigoted?"

To someone who suggested that there is a:

"Slight difference between not giving an answer and being an overt bigot."

So I was just pointing out a bigoted answer that I presume you had missed, as otherwise you wouldn't have asked originally:

"How are these answers bigoted?"

Yeah you misunderstood. People were quoting stupid reasons given by those who voted leave. I gave a stupid reason someone voted to remain. brighton'ove said the example I gave wasn't the same as it wasn't bigoted, so I quoted two examples from the post I'd originally quoted that also weren't bigoted.
the maddest reasons to leave and I simply pointed out that those wishing to remain haven't all had good reasons either.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

What do you propose we do now to take things forwards I would like to hear you honest unbiased views and whilst I would welcome we are up a creak without a paddle replies , what I am really after is workable solutions.

What is your preferred model Canada Norway or Swiss or New non EU UK?

It's happened and there is no turning back so where do we go from here?

Thank you.

This question is for leave, not for remain. We didn't vote for this so it is down to the people who decided to leave to take us forward. Surely it is already mapped out. We've already got the £350 million for the NHS as promised. I presume there'll be no unemployment and everyone's life will improve amazingly. I can't wait to see it the amazing country we become!

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Indeed. You could only attend the polling station in the 'revote' if you were a stayer.

Actually yes, l really do think that the EU has helped Britain to progress in many ways.

Don't be silly, no need to alienate the nasty pensioners and manual workers..........just limit the vote to London, Scotland and Brighton.....fairly confident if we had a poll on here that the IN camp would (for a change) actually win.

FTSE down 3.15% at today's close. Hardly catastrophic. It's now at 6138, the same level it was at 1 week ago. Nobody has been wiped out today or even badly hit, unless they've got money in individual stocks such as the banks. The German and French markets have been much harder hit.

That is not the sum total or a reflection of what may occur to our economy over the coming months and years.
Plenty of time for things to go awry, you can't assume it is all done and dusted. In fact, it would be quite naive to believe that to be the case.
Nevertheless, it is in everyone's interest for GB and Europe to thrive over the coming years. I hope this will be the case.

 

[larus]

I'm looking longer term than the first day of the vote, and I'm looking wider than the economic implications of the vote.

Believe what you like about my intelligence, I feel no need to explain my academic achievements to you.

So why say look at what's happening? Nothing has happened. Traders react with a herd mentality and this volatility will pass. The results of this won't be seen for months/years. Your post was an emotional reaction and nothing to do with reality.

Don't be silly.

Lady at work said she voted to leave so she would get duty free booze on her way to and from her time share villa in Spain every year. When I pointed out that the pound had crashed as a result of the vote she thought it was good as that meant she could get more Euros for her pound. At that point I gave up with the discussion!

Couldn't disagree with this more. Older generation are more affected by xenophobia so hardly wiser. The older generation has enforced something on the younger generation, which young people did not vote for. As 65+ is the age group that voted most to leave, many of them will be retired and less impacted by this. 18-40 who universally voted to remain will have to face the consequences (and future generations too) of the xenophobia of older generations and history won't look kindly on them.

Me and you live if different worlds, I like to think mine is vision, yours is sitting on top of a fence, sometimes you have to go for it grab, go on Finchley it not too late to change, you may even enjoy it.

Fair enough, you have your opinion, which was trotted out over and over again......unfortunately for you the voter disagreed...... and yes many on here are basing on what has happened on one day.
