LOL - the gift truly keeps giving. Tony, if you had to find someone to support you in an argument on Child Welfare you'd bring up the McCanns - it's hilarious
You really are the biggest idiot I have ever had the misfortune to come across. What a ridiculous thing to say. The worrying thing is that you truly believe that was an intelligent reply.
I correct you on what someone has said and you come out with the ridiculous because you know that my correction of your post is correct so you attack me personally with ridiculous assumptions on what I might say about a completely different subject that's so far removed from what we're actually discussing it's laughable.
You're an idiot. You're obviously taking advice from the cast of TOWIE now.
It's democracy, get over it...UK population 65.1m
Registered voters 46.5m
Turnout 33.5m
Leave 17.4m
So that's 26.7% of the UK population voting leave
Bonus stat for you. Who our next Prime Minister is will be voted on by 0.2% of the population. The winner only needs to get votes from 0.12% of the population.
It's democracy, get over it...
I can't believe some of the shite I have just read.
If you didn't vote for those that lied or twisted the truth you didn't vote. The remain side also did character assassination as the truth on staying wasn't good.
There was good about staying and good about getting out. There was bad about staying in and getting out. And those so called economists and experts were wrong about the Euro and the banking crisis.
I was one of the minority that didn't vote for those that lied to us. I went to the pub about 10am instead, and got home just after 3am as the results were coming in. I went to bed and saw the result a few hours later when I got up to get the kids ready for school.
It will be interesting to see who sorts it all out with Germany. Will it be those that fronted the leave lot or whoever is the new PM......or Boris for both?
Well it is - why isn't it? As it didn't go your way?
I run the British Stand on a major event in Germany. My staff have been pestered all day and have overheard negative comments about Britain. People are saying we won't buy anything here, you are no longer in the EU. "Es ist zum Kotzen!" - "it makes me sick" - that was a comment.
It went my way in Scotland, Northern Ireland, London and with the youth of England. Pity the older generation mugged us. The newspapers and the lies from leave cost the UK a lot.
Britain buys twice as many goods from Germany as Germany buys from Britain so anytime they want to start a trade boycott...
None of both countries could afford a trade boycott.
I do think, that will never happen.
Britain will surely lose all its special deals, though...
Paying lesse and receving more than most countries in the EU...
Plus I do hope, you find some Britons soon, that really want to become plumbers, scafolders etc if some of you guys want to get rid of those Polish workers so badly.
it's OK mate, we're recalling 1.2 million satsuma skinned octogenarians from the Costa to replace them.
Didn't you mean paying in a lot more than we got back? And most countries get a lot more than they put in.None of both countries could afford a trade boycott.

Maybe the "older generation" weren't as easily brainwashed by the overwhelmingly pro-EU media?
Maybe they have memories of life before the EU when things in Britain were a lot better for a lot of people?

Were things a lot better? I remember run down factories, more discrimination, pound being devalued, pollution, less foreign travel, lower life expectancy, less higher education less employment Protection and so on. Some things are better because of the EU, others not, but to claim life was better then and that it is worse now because of the EU is not true in many respects. There are more migrants, partly ( large part ) due to the EU, but wealthy non EU countries also attract migrants and we had Commonwealth migrants before the EU. Older people may have selective memories. My father was in bomber command and he maybe sees things more nationalistic than I do - e.g. he said he would accept the Euro if it was called a pound when that was being discussed.
I remember the three day working week, the power cuts, the bins not being empty. When I was six years of age I can remember telling my teacher that my dad was unemployed. Turned out that the reason he was always at home was a combination of the three day working week and regular strike action.
We were in the EU then Tony
Well done. We were also in the EU during the longest period of growth this country has ever experienced. What's your point again?
So you constantly go on about the lies from the leave side but refuse to acknowledge anything about remain. You constantly go on about what could be bad about leaving but nothing bad about staying. You call people uneducated because they have different views to you.No but they were easily brainwashed by xenophobes. Unless you're telling me that they voted understanding that the claims from the leave campaign regarding funding for the NHS and stopping EU migrants were bullshit when they and many many others cast there votes.
Nearly everybody I know who voted out voted on immigration first and NHS funding second. I tried explaining to them that it was BS but they dismissed it as scaremongering. Now the leave camp are confirming themselves that it was BS by backtracking left, right and centre.
I know it can be easy to get drawn in by grendel's fishing rod but it is also quite easy to take a step back, have a little giggle to yourself, even shake your head and carry on with your day.
Clearly that our economy is dependant on the EU but by other market forces.
I run the British Stand on a major event in Germany. My staff have been pestered all day and have overheard negative comments about Britain. People are saying we won't buy anything here, you are no longer in the EU. "Es ist zum Kotzen!" - "it makes me sick" - that was a comment. This started as a sop to Cameron's backbenchers so and ended up as a major change for Britain and Europe. Yes, the EU has many faults. There is a massive gravy train for eurocrats. 2000 earn more than Merkel and have extra privileges. Britain was a country that should be leading the fight for a better EU, not one running away. Cameron was the wrong person to tell the EU what to do. Germany is not the EU, but it will lead. The tenor is "you want to leave? Right let's do it. We want article 50 enacted on Tuesday and a quick negotiation to avoid uncertainty. I think we've made a big mistake. Some say it is a victory for democracy, but democracy only works when people are informed. If you vote to put 350m in the NHS and stop immigration, and then it turns out you actually voted to jettison the country into the unknown... Then that is not really democracy because your vote was based on bullshit from certain media groups and politicians and your vote was effectively manipulated for their purposes. People have been conned by unscrupulous politicians and a press Mogul. Have fun.
You expect anyone to believe that invented nonsense?
So you constantly go on about the lies from the leave side but refuse to acknowledge anything about remain. You constantly go on about what could be bad about leaving but nothing bad about staying. You call people uneducated because they have different views to you.
You should have campaigned for the remain side. You would have blended in very well with them. They also had no chance of brainwashing those of us that are educated and have a mind of our own.
If you want to point out someone who you say knows what is best for in or out try and find one that was right about the Euro and banking crisis.
You don't have a clue what you are going on about do you.Well done. We were also in the EU during the longest period of growth this country has ever experienced. What's your point again?

Nearly every time they opened their mouths. And like I said each time they were caught out they went onto personal attacks.So what lies that the remain camp gave have been exposed since the vote? How many of these lies were the back bone of there campaign that convinced many thousands to vote remain? How many people from the remain camp are now publicly exposing these lies now that the votes are in the bag?
