BREXIT - leave or remain?

[Teroseth]

Is there any chance that there might be another referendum in the coming year? I'm not big on politics so I don't know about any of this stuff.

I just want the UK back... T_T

Sadly, there is little chance....even the petition that is, at this point, going before parliament, is unlikely to make any difference....the majority won, however idiotic their demands were.....we have to deal with the consequences.

[Theodarzna]

And so it started.

Unlike the EU, the US doesn't have legal secession, and we had a bloody conflict to settle that matter.

[Independent voter]

They're blaming Obama. lol

When he said it could take years for the US to make a trade treaty with the UK.

[Shadowmelded]

Every where I looked today (Mainly the BBC) it was nothing but doom and gloom we are fucked (in a nutshell) that's not the British way that's the media trying to control yet again pumping fear into every one.

When things are falling to shit around you, it's not fearmongering, it's reporting. Also it's not just the BBC; https://twitter.com/Davewwest/status/746214185692889088 https://twitter.com/jimwaterson/stat...15177650868224 straight from the Leave campaigns mouth. I mean Farage even said the same wrt the NHS on GMB. You were sold a false prospectus but congratulations on "sticking it to the elite" who are now rejoicing at the chance to deregulate.

Nope from the heart and many others agree, sorry to disappoint.

Oh... well. I hope other don't follow suit too soon. Especially here in Greece. Apparently they want another vote. They were screaming last year about how they wanted to leave, yet 68% of the votes voted stay. I swear if we leave I'm loosing all hope for this country.

Isn't it a given that politicians will spin issues so the issue is seen in the best possible light? Or did they go too far?

I don't use twitter sorry.

[Teroseth]

These crazy ramblings pretty much back up my point.

Sadly the nutters have dragged us all into further needless strife to achieve exactly nothing other than a false sense of national pride.

Pretty much, 'taking back control' has done so much harm, it's unreal...imagine if only people had educated themselves.

They thought so the first time the nation discussed it too.

friday's going to be amazing! i'm going to wake up in my Union Jack jim-jams to the sound of a squadron of Spitfires racing overhead and leaving a trail of hot buttered crumpets behind them

I'll run to the corner shop past all the british children who are laughing and squealing with excitement as they make a beautiful statue of the queen out of happy wriggling bulldog puppies - with two corgis for her eyebrows!

bunting flutters everywhere and the man from the betting shop steps into the street - "guess what! England just won the World Cup & The Ashes & The Grand National and here's the best bit - Boris put a bet on it for everyone! you're all MILLIONAIRES!!!"

the red arrows fly overhead dropping fish and chips as i walk into the corner shop, get my morning paper and go to the counter. "how much please?" i say to the asian lad behind the counter. "1 pence, everything in the whole shop now costs just 1p!" he laughs, "leave it on the counter, i'm off back to pakistan - we all are!"

and he's right! outside in the streets jolly old nigel farage is leading a huge crowd of happy foreigners through the street - turks, poles, romanians, syrians - there's even a few English people with heavy suntans mixed up in there! nigel's playing Rule Brittania on a long pipe, rather like the pipe that takes the gas into your oven, and they're all following and smiling and talking foreign, bless them!

just then boris flies overhead in a concorde made of Bank of England gold - "don't worry!" he laughs "I've cut out all the bits the French made!" and with that he crashes into the ground at 1200 miles an hour, along with the economy, the country and all the dozy nostalgic foreigner-fearing fuckwits who fell for his bullshit.

grow up. wake up.

Scotland is f**cked without handouts. We should firstly ship 15million people to Scotland, remove their subsidies, and see how they cope with that. Scotland has been the poorest region in Western Europe for so many years.

Enjoy.

Maybe england has had enough experts! I don't know how you take anyone seriously when they say, "I've had enough with people who know what they're doing! Let's wing it! Also, go fuck yourselves experts!"

To be fair, a lot of 'experts' have deliberately mislead the general public for many years and politicians have done absolutely nothing about it. Pretending as if there aren't plausible reasons to doubt the opinions of 'experts' is simply being deliberately dense. Remember all the financial 'experts' who knew about the upcoming financial crisis back in 2008 but did absolutely nothing but profit off of it? Last I checked very few of them were actually punished for their poor judgement and it was the 'regular folk' who ended up footing the bill for their mistakes.

You're in luck, as I don't think any country would be as idiotic as the UK as to want to leave, especially when the full cost becomes apparent.

Actually, Wales has....and they voted leave...because fuck sanity....

[Kronik85]

Yeah basically. The wiki entry's opening blurb is a decent summary of the Smith Commission. Cross-party committee (granted, headed by an SNP member) saying it falls short.

Glancing over it, that looks generous to me. Indeed it's not Home Rule but it's pretty damn close. Either way, off topic I guess but thanks for the education.

That's a very Sartesian way of looking at things. If it is the case that you are born, shit happens, and then you die...maybe you could let that happen within the EU...as opposed to stamping feet and cussing out immigrants and demanding shit on top of shit....iono, just a thought....

It's true

You are born stuff happens then you die, this is not the end of the world as some may think.

Quite correct, the world will carry on...without the UK. Have fun.

Wales has what?

[Teroseth]

Sorry, quote didn't work for whatever reason, but Wales was the worst off country in the EU, and they voted out.
