Digby Jones on LBC this am - stating the remain campaign is still in action can't accept the vote- he gave six great reasons to be out of the EU IMO he needs to be in the negotiating team as an aid to politicians who have never run a business in their lives he talked a lot of common sense in two years time our subscription, and regulations of the eu will on its own give us 2 percent GDP without worldwide trade being the other bonus without eu sanctions!

Has anyone from remain not accepted the vote? All I've seen is a leave voter started a petition calling for a second referendum and millions of people have signed it. (Not me by the way).

He could certainly be right but I think it's fair to say he's in something of a minority , the vast majority of big business leaders and economists think its folly of the highest order .

Yes they will,if they are in the remain campaign spread doom and gloom as we still have two years to negotiate, the Euro ia folly of a currency if the EU is so prosporous why is unemployment sky high in Italy, Spain etc????

2 million 35, 000 were removed last night over fraud issues its immaterial I have heard some professor on LBC saying the should be an immediate referendrum so sod democracy most people telephoning in were more concerned of getting our sovervienty back than immigration ?
Getting out of the EU before it implodes also!
 
Do you not understand difference between gross and Net, nobody thought 300 mil was going to nhs per week but surely a lot more could, 350 was a correct figure granted not fully accurate.

Our net contribution to the EU after rebate and public and private sector EU funded projects are taken into account, was circa 40-45% of the quoted £350m a week that Leave championed as 'fact'

The amount equates to circa 0.4% of our GDP.

Post Brexit the economic forecasts predict that our GDP will fall by anything between 1.7% and 6%.

So the net gain to the Treasury is what exactly? Answers on a postcard FAO Nigel Farage - Brussels.

(here's a clue there won't be one, we'll end up with a net loss not a gain...)

So all of the promises of more money for the NHS were completely bogus, as the public spending purse will reduce not increase.

Will the EU funded projects that covered HE R&D, innovation and economic development be replaced with Westminster cash? Errmmm
 
I honest feel that Boris didn't think he would win, but he'd come out of it looking good as the leader of a popular, but losing cause with credit in the bank for a leadership challenge

But now he has 'won' and it's all turned to custard around his ears

The reverse for Dave, he didn't think he'd lose, hence his why should I do all the hard work comment.

The question is how to get round the fact that some may have realised that however pure their motives were for voting how they did, now the Immediate smoke has cleared, despite the warnings, dismissed by many as scare mongering, the brown stuff has and will hit the fan for some time yet.

What are the options;

1) KBO

2) Hold a new vote - No, just no...that way madness lies.

3) find away around it

Is the Reff binding

Can Parliament vote not to accept it...Say, as they have done before on many subjects that the majority of the public were not on board with
Hanging, Homosexuality, drink driving, crash helmets for example...well Sorry peeps, you're wrong on this and even though we were elected on your behalf etc, we will do what we think is right on this one.

Soon (pride and face put to one side ) some one will mention the closeness of the result, unintended consequences etc etc.

Somebody ( I hope ) will blink and the first one to blink and say No, Stop, will be hero and villain

but it needs doing and face saving be damned.

If it's possible, it needs doing - quick.

Boris and Gove promised £100 million per week extra for the NHS that is £5.2 billion per year. They also promised to honour EU funding £4.5 billion and EU money for research and universities another £2 billion.
