Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Tubey]

Can only hope the scale of this recession sees riots in the streets when people realise they were conned. It's going to seemingly take a while for the dullards to realise it though, considering that result.

Ill openly admit i voted out. But not because of the slurr media and politicians put on it. When i broke it down into small pieces most of the UK internals workings remain NHS for example maybe a bad example but none the less.

For me the real eye openier was the euro crisis ive never seen such mismangement over a problem which could of been slightly mitigated everyone saw a car crash coming and they stood around waiting for it. So my confidence of those around the EU table and all it stood for is shot im afraid.

It was never about democracy, that was not the motivation for offering a referendum. The offer of a referendum was the only way the Conservative Party could see off the opposition of UKIP and thereby get themselves re-elected at the last GE.

We will all pay a huge price for that misplaced political opportism.

But we regain our freedom to govern ourselves......a price well worth paying......it's just money, previously to regain or ensure freedom has cost actual lives.....

Just woke up to this, amazed.

I worry for the UK, i really do. Economically this could be horrific. I worry myself about contagion.

An independent UK? I can see Scottish and Welsh independence referendum in the next couple of years.

Yeah right, they'll be sucking in the next big con.

I feel sorry for you lot as the Germans will now have to fight tooth and nail to hold the EU together and unfortunately that means making an example of Britain. The potential economic consequences are too dire to allow other countries such as my own (Netherlands) entertain the idea of following suit. Brussels has no choice but to deal extremely harshly with Britain. The loss of trade with the UK is an acceptable loss that can be dealt with; the economic fallout of the complete collapse of the EU is not.

This is what i don't get, they will treat us harshly, make an example of us etc

Why fear that? They want to be tits, trade elsewhere, plenty other countries around the world to deal with. Not basing this on fact but is it not the most dangerous thing to the EU that we don't rely on them for our trade? that we trade with them on our terms or go elsewhere?

there are more countries than in the EU, even if it means we having to get our hands slightly dirty in the process to build trade.

I've just joined my Union. £20 a month, ffs.

Europe never thought this was going to vote out, that's why they gave Cameron next to nothing when he tried to renegotiate our deal.

We need to hold a General Election now within the next 2 years

The UK already had the sweetest deal of anyone in the EU, that's why Brussels gave you next to nothing.

Well there we go. My place of work has just lost half it's income.

Lets see if I still have a job this time next year. I'm guessing I won't

But I believe in democracy and the price of a democracy is that sometimes the majority decides they don't care about you and this time the majority decided it didn't care about me.

That's fine, it's their choice to do so or not.

Like the Tory Party have never given a sh1t about ordinary working people. It's the NIMBY attitude over the decades from those types which has led to situation that has happened with this refererdum. It's two fingers up to to all the fwah-fwahs rabbiting on about what will happen if we leave. Scaremongering, and the majority of the polling population did not buy it. It's also about telling the EU it is NOT going to dicatate to us in area of life/work in this country that they have no right in doing so...

Farage calling for a new Bank Holiday named "Independence Day".

He's loving this is Nige, like a pig in sh*t he is today.

With absolutely no wish to offend you mate, by not voting either way you in effect forfeit the right to complain about what happens as a result of this vote.
Not voting is, in my opinion, an abdication of responsibility.

I stress, I am not intending to offend you personally or any other non-voters, it's just my firmly held belief that not voting is wrong.

It's okay mate. I just genuinely did not know who to believe, who was right, who was wrong and what the knock on effects were going to be, despite trying my best to understand everything involved. I simply could not make a decision I could guarantee I would not regret, which is arguably me being responsible.

I have 100% forfeited my right to complain, I agree.

The Germans need us to buy thier cars.. as do the French.

Good, I hope you're glad at what you've done. You'll come to realise pretty quickly the magnitude of it.

60% of your exports go to Europe. You can't really replace those customers overnight.

The plot has been lost, even talk of Boris Johnson becoming PM. You know your country is in big trouble when you there is apopular swing to the far right or far left nutters.

Sadly this seems to be a trend in World politics.

Can you imagine the world with Johnson and Trump Pm and Presidents.
