Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Well I can see a future, ten years from now, with the UK and Germany being a single super trading bloc with the the rest of the EU as some kind of decaying rubbish state with Scotland tacked on the outside.

We will ,untill we invoke A50 then we will take no more part in any negotiations apart from ones concerned with us leaving

Yeah I saw that Brian. For the forum audience the EU's financial year follows the calendar year so it'd potentially make things smoother if the UK leaves on the 1st January rather than near the end of the year.

He now, after looking at the aftermath of this vote and its implications, has doubts and he has questions.
So what does he get in reward for the effort he has put in in past weeks on behalf of the Leave campaign?
Abuse ..
He deserves better than that

If they don't listen to the will of the people after the result of the referendum then they will be committing political suicide in my opinion.

You think so? With Germany left as the largest contributor the the EU budget and overwhelmed with immigrants the German people may well force an EU exit. It would only be logical for us to unite with our cousins to form one of the largest economic blocs in the world.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
I've just found out that we can still be part of the Eurovision Song Contest.
I don't know if that's any comfort to the remainers or not?
we'll be guaranteed a full nil points though.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
I don't think you'll have to wait 10 years to see the effects. I read somewhere that some EU organisation is planning to buy the London Stock Exchange and move it and its staff to Europe.
Given that finance is probably our strongest sector, that will have a major impact, especially with other banking organisations in the EU ready to step in.
Worse still, Goldman Sachs & HSBC are planning moves to Europe too if we leave.
The EU Referendum outcome is going to have many unexpected consequences and we will need to tread carefully because it's like a minefield out there and we really don't want to put our foot in it until we know all there is to know about the situation.

Not surprising really as they let Australia in. Just wonder if next year we'll have other non-European entries!! LOL!!

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
If the EU were prepared to reform and abandon the federal superstate dream there wouldn't be this issue but they still have no interest in real reform and are still planning the federal superstate. It isn't just here in the UK things are screwed up it's across the whole EU and despite the rising tensions Brussels just puts it hands over it's political ears and continues to hum the federal anthem. If it had stayed as a trade orientated union this referendum would never have happened perhaps instead of this being remain vs leave we should direct our anger to the small group in the EU who just won't listen.

You and your mates have banged on for years on how the EU is evil, how it is bad for the country, etc. etc. etc. and you have the gall to say, that now that you have won the vote, that we all have to get behind the government.
What a load of hypocritical BS.

And did nigel say it'd all be over and forget differences etc if he'd lost the referendum, no he said its unfinished business

Agreed. If the EU had been more flexible and remained just a trading union we would have all voted to stay and all the problems being generated like Scotland wanting to leave would never have happened.
I just hope Angela Merkel is reading this forum and is prepared to listen to ordinary British people.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
I think the problem for all of us was that both sides were economical with the truth.
It's not surprising that we ended up with the result that we did.
Cameron did not have a Plan B and Boris did not have a Plan A so we were all totally unprepared for the outcome.
I think the Conservatives need to get together and come up with a good plan quickly.
I just hope it's a plan the other parties can support.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
It is ridiculous all we have is Sturgeon threatening to block Brexit or break up the UK. Nothing from anyone else, I suspect lots of speeches, comments tomorrow.

Given the polarisation in Scotland I think this is an entirely reasonable response. The question is, is it legal?

I think the Scots are trying to act in their own best interests just like everybody else.
In situations like this we need a high quality solution that addresses everybody's interests and brings consensus.
