Get in! Dawn of a new era for GB!
Get in! Dawn of a new era for GB!
Afternoon all
This morning I drove into work with a massive smile on my face...and,whilst contemplating the wonderfully refined mechanism, that is of course, British Democracy a large blue shard descended(just like Ted or Ian)down to the left hand side of the car.Shocked I focussed in on the sight and could just make out Turkey Lurkey...indeed the sky had fallen in on him!
in reply to sbrt: No worries mate. Like you I completely divorce myself from the utterly unsavoury right wing elements (including pint-boy). I want nothing to do with their rhetoric and cant which is hitched all too easily to realistic concerns of your average person.
Look, as I said, I had no true idea of which way I would go till I got to the booth. In or out, there was no easy answer. So there is no triumphalism in my thoughts today...at ALL. Just a recognition that we have made a momentous decision which, for better or worse, will need full support, mature reflection and clear minded determination to get the best out of it. The next issue will be for our electoral process to find the best leader and team to get on with this.
ConLab coalition anyone???
Boom, how about that eh, Trev? Back of the net. I'm immensely proud to be British, never more so. Immensely proud of my fellow brits for deciding to take a step into the unknown and take a risk. It's becoming a pattern in world politics; Jeremy Corbyn elected, Donald Trump running for president and now UK citizens vote with their feet and leave the EU. It's a new wave of risky thinking from people who are fed up and alienated. Can't wait to see Boris step up now.
The remainers are still banging their drums, though. Keith Vaz was the first to wade in at 06.15 this morning with the same old tales of rack and ruin; listening to Vine's show on the way home from work some other woman from remain was hard at it discriminating against the blood, sweat and toil of indigenous English workers in favour of the so-called 'massive' contribution made by migrant labour. We all built this nation love, all of us who have ever lived and worked here. I'm not really delighting in their moaning, some of it is downright offensive especially from callers.
I actually feel a bit for David Cameron; i don't know if he promised the referendum thinking it would never actually happen, let alone come up leave, or whether he truly wished for the UK people to have their say. Part of me hopes the latter. Mrs C looked very dispondent this morning, she looked like she needed a good hug.
To all remainers i quote the late, great Clive Dunn- don't panic, don't panic!
Un savoury, right wing, pint boy?
Who's that aimed at then?
I always celebrate. Win or lose on the booze.
Onwards and upwards just like fell running.
It's a hill get over it.
What frustrates me about the whole thing is how intelligent people can possibly think Brexit is good for the country
The economy is only going to go one way now and that is down and everyone that was worried about immigration will need to start worrying about value of pensions dropping, benefit cuts, further cuts to public services.
It is beyond me how people can be so naïve!!
what frustrates me about the whole thing is how intelligent people can't see that there may be some merit in us leaving the EU, even if they are in favour of Remain overall.
Every single remain politician wanted to stay in a "reformed" EU. I've no idea what further reforms they might have liked (probably all slightly different) but Cameron tried and got little and clearly they all wanted more.
The best chance of reforms are now we have left - check out some of the European stuff coming out from the likes of Sarkozy. They don't want the Dutch, Danish and Swedish getting itchy feet and he's calling for a Shengen 2 zone, removal of policy making from the Commission.....

But we'll never know what would have happened otherwise. In future, whenever something nasty happens in Europe, or a minor improvement in one aspect of the UK economy, all the leavers will say "it's a good job we voted to leave". And whenever something good happens in Europe or a similarly minor bad thing affects the economy, remainers will say "what a stupid thing they all voted for".Originally Posted by luxinterior
We'll never know either way what effect it had.
PS. That won't prevent me making snide comments like "happy now?"
So true Noel....unless we all grow up and get on with it. Ooh, look, a snowball in hell!!
By the way, Pint Boy refers to 'orrible Farage, not well known imbibing forumites!
The economy was only ever going that way anyway. Capitalism is not sustainable, and when it disintegrates it will take the Fiat currency system and your pension with it whether we are in the EU or not.
