The trouble Marty is some form their opinions from certain rabid biased media outlets instead of forming a calm rational opinion based on the true facts of it all.

Look Brexit going to happen but the behaviour of parts of the media and certain politicians from both sides of the divide has been utterly dreadful and has left a pretty bad aftertaste IMO as one would have hoped they would have behaved better then that but sadly that was not the case.

LOL - sorry to cross topics here but I could levy the same kind of propaganda traits, at the media with their biased polling and biased reporting in Crooked Hillary Clinton's favor.

l quite agree but sadly this is how certain parts of the media in the USA and the UK seems to want to report and behave now as in my idea world the media should be there to report the news unbiasedly but sadly l don't think that is ever going to happen in this modern world of ours now.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Article 50 will not be triggered next March.
This will continue uncertainty and be bad for all of us.
Thank you lords!

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
A part of me thinks cameron knew what an excrement storm this would turn into and that's why he legged it so he didn't have to clear up the monumental mess he created in the status of the referendum being advisory. Lets be honest here both our politicians and media have been absolutely pathetic and an embarassment to this country and have also played a part in creating the situation we're in. Right now we look a complete shambles internationally and the continued infighting and mud slinging being indulged by both sides further enforces the view of the UK being a joke.
This could and should have been handled so much better then it was particularly by our politicians but the constant lowering of political representatives quality had to come back to bite us sometime, looks like now is the time.

Reading that prejudiced description was like reading a newspaper from the 1908s. I guess because the value of the £ has plummeted to 1980s levels the Daily Mail thought that our other values have returned to the 1980s as well.
But on a lighter note as it's the weekend, Brexit walks into a bar. The barman asks, "Why the long farce?  (Credit: Robin Flavell)
