Thread: Brexit

    Can't we have a referendum down here to dump Scotland? Now we're on a roll I reckon the 'Piss off jocks' vote would win by a landslide

    Utter disaster, How anybody could believe the lies that the briexit camp told you.Already they are denying that they said would spend the £350m on the health service. The next 5 years or more food prices will rise, jobs will go ( how long will the vauxhall plant last). I am 64 proud to say that i voted to remain because it's the younger generations to think about. One big ****ing disaster.

    I have had an idea. Since Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain, they could join the Republic of Ireland to form the United Celtdom of Scotland and all Ireland. They would then stay in the EU (by virtue of being an extension of an existing EU member, Ireland). And everyone in Northern Ireland would be happy: the republicans because they were in a united Ireland, and the unionists because they were still united with Scotland (from where most of their ancestors came in the 17th century). What's not to like?

    Of course, none of this would help those of us in England and Wales who wanted to remain.

    I'm amused by those signing a petition to have parliament ignore the result of the referendum. Maybe we should start one of those after each general election "we'd have the lot that came second". Also interesting that people are reporting it like 1.5 million is a lot - it's nowhere near the millions that actually voted to leave.

    Natural wastage means that in a few short years a majority of living voters will have voted for remain.

    How could anyone believe the lies of Remain?
    £4300 worse off by 2030 using weighted estimates and a mixture of figures in the formula from 2015 and 2030 to exaggerate.
    The Stronger In campaign almost with one voice talked about staying in a "reformed EU" but didn't and couldn't tell us what those reforms were.
    I imagine that Cameron, Corbyn, Farron and Sturgeon all had different ideas of what reforms they would try to get.
    But they'd all fail.
    Cameron couldn't get anything and he put his head in a noose and lined up a referendum to try and force the issue.

    But I take it you watched the debates. I take it you saw the challenges to the £350M a day and saw the acknowledgements that it was a gross figure.
    I take it you saw that the Vote Leave campaign said they would like to see £100M a day of the money put in to the NHS and that consideration could be given to taking the 5% VAT of domestic energy.
    I take it you also noted that they wanted to use an equivalent sum as is now given by the EU to maintain support for agriculture, science etc.

    I take it you realise that they were not the Govt, so do not fix policy and that this is also subject to the Government in power, that may be different to the current one.

    I take it you also know that article 50 has to be set in place and it will take 2 years so none of these things will probably happen until 2019.

    But never mind, I know some didn't realise. 4 months of debate and they didn't realise.

    No I were not.

    As I've made it quite clear on this thread I was in favour of remain.

    As per the Scottish Referendum, both sides seem to have a propensity for miss leading, lies, and manipulation.
