EU Referendum

[chippa1909]

I've just spent a couple of hours reading through this thread.
Some posts I find interesting, some I find laughable and some are just petty.
Emotions are still running very high, but it's still less than 48hours since the result was declared.
In this short time I've been called a racist ****, an idiot, a little Englander and one or two other pathetic things.
I find this very sad as I totally respect the opinions of all the voters I've spoken to, which ever side of the camp they represent.
Can't people just accept that not everyone will necesarily agree with them?
The cloth has been cut .................. can we not, as a nation, just somehow work together to make this work?

No.

Why does everyone who voted they interview keep talking as if England has just voted to go alone ?

Some part of me has a feeling that some voted because they possibly knew that there would be a split between the countries as well.

As well as possibly leaving EU it is possibly the start of tearing the UK apart - the United part has certainly gone right now.

Ashamed to say that looks like Newcastle and I'm pretty sure it was the EDL. I watched a video of them being drowned out by a group called Newcastle Unites

Although I voted Out, I really can't stand Farage and his bunch of loonies. But his quote of "it's not two out of three you know" to the people who want another referendum did make me laugh out loud and was brilliant.

Yep, it would have been even more hilarious if he hadn't already stated his wish for a 2nd referendum if the Remain camp won a narrow 52-48 win.. You've got to wonder if satire is finally dead...

Post on Saturday morning came with a letter from a company we asked to quote for on some work to the planned extension. They had discounted the cost and sited that the work could be done and dusted before we fully exited.
We have decided not to go ahead with any work, it's a case maintain and survive. I'll do the jobs we were subbing out. I wonder how many other people will take that view .... Sleeves rolled up and dealing with it.

No.

What do you suggest?

Me personally, I think very little will change. I think that as a nation our buying power will mean that whilst countries may try and set an example. If we knock on Frances door and say so and so from America has agreed to supply all our goods that you used, would you like to counter offer. They will.
First and foremost the Eu was set up as a business model and whilst it's landscape has changed massively, countries won't want to lose out on the money we spend with them.

Immigration isn't so important to me. I don't think we should stop it, but should follow a successful model where only those that contribute are accepted. I would like to think that if that model was adopted, in time the people willing to sit on their arses because working doesn't benefit them enough would be forced into work or face tougher financial times.

I think little will change, but everything will just be a tiny bit worse. If one isn't at the borderline to 'really bad' then it is OK, if one is, then it is going to be really bad.

The UK will rely on some really good politicians doing the negotiations. Nigel isn't one of them. Can't be, he isn't an MP. And that is good.
They will have to negotiate the hell out of the EU, and of course all countries the EU agreement doesn't cover the UK anymore.
The EU will not give free trade without any compromise on free travel, that kills the immigration argument of leave. And they want financial contribution, that cuts into the £350 saving.

I think this all will happen, but it takes some time. That was what Obama described as 'at the back of the line'.


What really disturbs me are all the racist tweets and rants coming out. It's a minority, but at least for the last 2 days they are fairly loud.


Anyway, time to fill out an application for permanent residency. What changes for me is that I need to change my EU driving license to a UK one. I probably also have to start driving on the left.

What effect do you think the outcome will have on your life and how quickly do you think the changes will take effect?

Initially interest rates will drop, most will reduce out goings. Like myself they will start being careful and watching the cost of living. If that affect inflation the the B of E will react. Small businesses may suffer as a consequence. Not sure about holiday prices - don't care either. Hopefully we will see the return of the £140million a week as promised by the exit brigade- if not I would be asking for it policy was based on it. Oh and I would expect all the promises to be made good as well.....

I think that an offer of free travel on working visas would be the compromise offered. And personally think that's fair. Come here to work the. More than welcome. Come here as a tourist. Again more than welcome.

Unfortunately there are idiots on both sides, and anyone to be seen as being racist should be dealt with irrespective of the vote outcome.

Yeah I know but that's why I did not vote for them

This is very sad to see and there are lots of reports being seen on Twitter




Polish Club in London that has been there since 1967 with paint saying "Go Home" sprayed on the outside

Can see this all getting worse and things escalating soon - the EDL and Britain First plus any other similar organisation are revelling in this

The "Little Englander" attitude is getting stronger and nastier

A wonderful moment from @faisalislam on @SkyNews that perfectly sums up the mess we're now in. #Brexit pic.twitter.com/0KC7SXj1Uk

The head of the leave campaign doesn't have a plan on what to do next ?!?

Just calm down and dont take everything on social media as normal.

So is he lying then ? Are these reports about the leave campaign not having an exit plan all false ? You can't dismiss something just because it's being reported on social media

It appears that the reason why Boris Johnson and co looked like scared rabbits was because they didn't really expect to win and weren't prepared for it and with Cameron resigning without invoking article 50 he could well have pulled a masterstroke.

Just tells you something about someone who has has such knowledge of the media output of such radical organisations.

They are either part of the radical group (am not suggesting the poster is) or they use these kind of outputs to stir up tension and argument amongst those who don't give a tosh about such organisations be they left or right wing.

The exit plan requires a two year set of negotiations, how can anyone believe the outcome can be set out before they start. Turn off twitter and facebook and turn your common sense on rather than reacting like an exited school kid.
