Current Affairs EU In or Out

Possibly, but in the end Hindsight is 20/20 - is now and always has been throughout history

How many leave voters did so because of the promised 350m to the NHS?

One woman on 5 live was furious after she found out it was a lie on Friday morning

I think a few folk who did vote leave would happily vote stay now, after the nonsense coming out since Thursday.

Not me for starters. Don't want to join a conglomeration of crying ar*es such as I have seen in the days since Friday... There's been just as much, if not more, nonsense from the Remain camp... And where has that smarm Osborne disappeared to? Run for cover after all his threatening noises about the economy and swingeing budget. The guy is utterly contemptable, same as Cameron, spending nearly £10 million of taxpayers money on leaflets for the Remain brigade, and issuing threat after threat. The Remain campaign shot itself in the foot, because it thought the ordinary, thinking, person in the UK would be taken in by all their crap. WRONG!!!

Dunno, it was pretty nice to see the pain on Camerons face.

Something we are all going to get used to seeing all around for a while

You can have all the rational discussions in the world about leave or remain but the fact remains that a significant portion of the people who voted leave, do not understand the relevant economic and political consequences to this move. I'm not saying that democracy hasn't spoken or that their vote is wrong, people have different values and considerations which they base their vote on and always will do.

Forgetting for a moment the overwhelmingly negative economic and political consequences that I personally see, the problem facing us right now is there appears to be no strategy on what to do next as you mention in your post, and the leaders of the leave campaign are already going back on the things they campaigned on. There is a very high chance freedom of movement is going to need to be kept in trade concessions and I worry about the position the Leave leaders are in after basing the Leave campaign around an anti immigration stance. Interesting times ahead and I fear for what happens when the realisation hits.

Unless of course, their vote wasn't actually about getting rid of immigrants?

I absolutely agree with you , my concern is they've shamelessly courted anti-immigration feeling and if they throw it aside its a question of whether they'll be able to control it.

Without being a wind up tit which I am, Honestly I am now getting more info from the "in" group than I had in the 6 week build up to the vote

I listened to the radio (5 live at least 6 hours a day) and watched the news and it was constant tit for tat between the two sides

I didn't vote last week for the simple reason I couldn't make my mind up which camp had he most valid points, If the vote was this Thursday I would vote remain

Really ? I thought there was an awful lot of information out there, I think there is a lot more passion now but there was an array of economists & heads of business , economic , financial and trading groups laying out the pitfalls . It was simply dismissed as project fear .

In my lifetime alone if I had a pound for every time a politician went back on a promise once elected or won a vote - I'd of been named in the Panama papers mate.

Thanks a lot mate. Tbh I can totally see a big calling for Czexit quite soon too for quite similar reasoning as why it had happened in GB - in fact an internet poll on Czexit on the biggest Czech news website has ended 53-47 for Czech leave a few days ago. A big majority of people here absolutely hate Juncker&co mainly because of pathetic leaderships and quotas on immigrants and his threats that EU are going to punish us if we don't agree with EU views. I think a referendum is happening here as soon as you leave the EU - the Czech Republic will then start to pay to EU more than to receive from there via EU grants + sanctions against Russia are probably lifted - and for a lot people here these two things are the main argument why to stay there - extra money + 'lower chances' of Russia invading us again...

To be fair though, Czexit is proper catchy...

Yip, already a lie. I hate to think of the reaction when they find out immigration won't change.

So they didn't believe the remain "crap" but swallowed everything from the leave camp

Heaven forbid people should be concerned at the most momentous political decision of their life times.

You bang on about despising Cameron and Osbourne - hope you're very happy under the rule of Gove, Johnson and IDS instead.

Your divisive tone is getting quite irritating, debate the issues or don't.

Legitimate concern over the welfare of the country given the aftershocks from the result, the deafening silence from the leaders of the leave campaign as to how this will now progress and the immediate backtracking on the promises they made.

 

[bring the ghost on]

Sturgeon and the rest need to get over it. They lost...

Scotland voted overwhelmingly for a nationalist party in the last GE, and overwhelmingly to stay in the EU. They have been forced to leave the EU and clearly that gives a mandate to the SNP to call for another independence referendum.

Again, though, you seem to ignore the blindingly obvious, like when you said immigration wasn't a significant factor in Brexit.
