    I do wonder though how 52% of some 72% of those who turned up to vote is mainly jobless, as that would imply a much higher unemployment rate than official stats suggest. My guess is that the statistics behind who voted either way are as yet unreliable and just being used to mend bruised egos who were predicting confidently last night that this was the end of Brexit.
    That's what I was implying

    True majority of leave were over 40 but then people under 25 had a low turn out so

    Apparently so does the sky.
    Start trying to work out who deserves what, and before long you’ll spend the rest of your days weeping for each and every person in the world.

    The view is more realistic than pessimistic, given the realities of the very weak bargaining position the UK is going to be in.

    As it should be.
    Yes, better for everyone that way, we do not want a setback when the UK loses their ability to vote in the EU because people think they abused that vote to weight in on both sides of the negotiation.
    I do not think we should force you out of the agreements we already have before we have something else in place and I do not think we should force legislation on you in that time, but on the other hand there should be no unfair meddeling of the UK in what they have decided to leave behind.

    No, it is pessimistic. The EU is the entity that is now in a weak bargaining position.

    wales voted to leave and will never get independence
    NI wont vote for independence as they cannot survive alone and no guarantee that Republic would unify with them. Not to mention the age old issues.
    This is my opinion

    something like over 60% of 50+ leaves, even a tad higher in 60+ , dunno exactly about unemployed, the just said that well faring people with an education voted mainly Remain and that poor areas and people with low education, low end jobs or no jobs at all voted mainly Leave.

    This was on the BBC program about the referendum, dunno if they would spill bs over this or not but its what I've seen.
    Also a quick Google search should bring up articles with the same polls, I'm surprised you seem to be oblivious about these numbers being from the UK and following the news today.

    Who I would rather see on the SC is very very different than who deserves to be in the SC.

"Immigration experts" is a funny title, that's like "Gender Studies Technician" in the realm of laughs.

    Separating legally and unilaterally from the EU is where my concern is in this particular situation. I'm glad they've got the ball rolling in that regard, now see it through the rest of the way without fear and with utter conviction.
    You do realize that there are other ways to get to Germany right, and yea who needs these so call experts we should get our advice from 8 balls.

    There's also the question of what constitutes an "education" nowadays. The idea that everyone should have a degree is fairly novel, and certainly no guarantor of being informed on any particular position, as is apparently the case with Brexit.

    And that is not what I'm asking for. The UK would be excluded from all new legislation agreed upon during that period for the EU, but they should not get the opportunity to blackmail the other memberstates with sabotage either.
