Who knows Boris let it slip from day one he would go back and negotiated a better deal if the Brexit camp won, but he had to fall on his sword when he suggested it after the no vote!

The talk was that Gove stabbed him in the back!!!
Anyway another bit that shows how crap the EU is, Spain and Portugal are to be fined by the EU for breaking the rules on Government support for their banks and tax rules. How stupid is this for heavens sake. The remain camp ignore this evidence of EU stupidity.
Well...frankly it never should have, but the Leave camp did some excellent scare mongering and flat out lied which got the 'get off my lawn' types out to vote.
Something as important as this vote was should have required at a minimum 60% to leave. As it stands, the UK is simply not prepared for leaving, and are going to suffer for it...at least for the foreseeable future.
If Paris plays this right with regards to banking, London could be in massive trouble.
Oh and the remain camp never told any lies in there campaign selective memories from you!
The information I used was from the Office for National Statistics. I should have made that clear when I posted it.
Fairs fair then
Did they say that your NHS would get £350 mill weekly that was going to the EU?
Lies on both sides is why the vote should have required a super majority of some sort. The average citizen simply is/was not educated enough to make such a decision.

Both sides had a bit of "fun" with figures and claims, cannot help thinking that the Treasury info under Osborne gave out helped the current situation to get under way. WE are at the monent still in the EU and will be some time there was no need for panic as shown by these mega rich twits.
For those who voted to remain - a simple question why did you vote that way? What were your reasons?
Fairs fair then
As a matter of interest do you want the EU to break up? And if it does, what do you think the consequences may be?

Well mate not for me but I would like it see it go back and become more trade orientated than pursuing more central control which is what is happening under Juncke et al.
Just use of what's left with the stronger countries as a trading block for goods cutting back on overpaid EU brerocrats!
I've said a few times previously in this thread that a growing proportion of trade deals are non-tariff related items, so free trade in the EU sense isn't simply a case of saying no tariffs will be applied across the EU zone. There are many other things involved so that various standards apply (environmental for instance) across the free trade zone. The Pacific trade deal, for instance, has quite hefty items in there around intellectual property that are designed to pull China into line, so that alone is going to invoke big changes on how Chinese companies operate.
These regulations may supersede national regulations. If you want global integration in terms of trade, then you will have to cede a degree of sovereignty.
Even Nigel Farage condemned those figures Boris and Gove on the bus stats!
