People voted to leave. I don't care if they are regretting it now.
----------------------------------------Face the good and bad consequences of that result. Now I hear that the British Foreign Minister hopes the UK will stay in the EU Common Market. What a joke, that was basically your whole participation in the EU - you weren't even in the Euro. Just leave and stop with this idiocy.  - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 2 times, last edit by Falconet at Jun 26, 2016 11:26:36 AM] |

Apparently trending the head of the idiocy [Boris J.], went in hiding, there's even a #WhereisBoris topic on Twitter about it and speculation he's pondering on what to do next. [Did he not have his chess-moves ready when getting on that bandwagon or was this a JDI again... Johnson Done It?]
Funniest part is of all, as this was given the interpretation of kicking the establishment in the nuts, Nigel F. and particularly Boris J. are as much part of that establishment... hungry for that same power, as hungry to put #10 on the backside of their X-mas cards. ;P) |

Who knows. Boris and the other guy, I forgot his name, didn't seem very happy and were always saying that there is no hurry. Nigel, the idiot, seems to be the only happy political figure.

Nigel Farage an impish martinet whose sell by date is long past due. Heck based on one return this AHole was going to throw in the towel. Even as, an American I know Nigel and Derrick are the most atrocious names in the UK. Good Riddance.

Now, on the UK Goverment's website, there's a petition that has already (as of the time of this post), received over 2.7 million signatures (remembering, that the Brexit side won by 1,269,501 votes) to have a second EU referendum. The only funny thing to come out of this whole mess: That petition was started about 6 weeks ago, by a *Leave* supporter, who was worried that *Remain* might win by a narrow margin. But as the vote went narrowly the other way, now he's complaining that his petition has been hijacked by Remain supporters! Priceless.

BREAKING NEWS: The UK voted to leave the EU so it could join the EU.
----------------------------------------http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/26/i-...-part-of-europe--and-alw/ "I cannot stress too much that Britain is part of Europe, and always will be. There will still be intense and intensifying European cooperation and partnership in a huge number of fields: the arts, the sciences, the universities, and on improving the environment. EU citizens living in this country will have their rights fully protected, and the same goes for British citizens living in the EU. British people will still be able to go and work in the EU; to live; to travel; to study; to buy homes and to settle down. As the German equivalent of the CBI – the BDI – has very sensibly reminded us, there will continue to be free trade, and access to the single market. Britain is and always will be a great European power, offering top-table opinions and giving leadership on everything from foreign policy to defence to counter-terrorism and intelligence-sharing – all the things we need to do together to make our world safer. The only change – and it will not come in any great rush – is that the UK will extricate itself from the EU’s extraordinary and opaque system of legislation: the vast and growing corpus of law enacted by a European Court of Justice from which there can be no appeal. This will bring not threats, but golden opportunities for this country – to pass laws and set taxes according to the needs of the UK. " This is just idiotic. You guys are absolutely going nuts, sorry. - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |

Remember that we're not ruled, we're governed, and that is by consent. When faced with a bureaucratic dictatorship on a decades long power grab, a gentle reminder was in order.
We didn't vote to leave Europe (that would be daft, we're not going to drift off into the Atlantic), we voted to leave the EU. We want to be governed by our elected government. We want to trade with, and have friendly relations with everyone in the world, not just a small corner of it. As for the young people who will benefit for generations from life in a democratic nation, 27% voted to remain, 9% voted to leave, but an overwhelming 64% weren't interested enough to express an opinion. Once we've taken our punishment beatings from the financial industry we've spent the last 8 years bailing out, we have a bright future. Hopefully we've set an example the people of other countries who want to be governed, not ruled. |

Soong,
----------------------------------------I am fine with you leaving. People voted to leave, then leave. I am not fine with the UK wanting all the stuff they had in the EU but not being in the EU. Your participation in the EU was already limited. No Euro, no Schenghen. And now Boris, possibly your next PM, wants to leave but keep all the good stuff? No way. No freaking way. Not after all the money lost, the uncertainty created in the EU and possible rise of far-right forces winning even more power over the promise of a referendum. Please leave as soon as possible. - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 3 times, last edit by Falconet at Jun 27, 2016 3:09:02 PM] |

Those in the real seats of power, the ones who refused to listen when warned earlier in the year that change was necessary.
----------------------------------------They chose to hang on to that power at the expense of all else and it is THAT which the British people have issue with not free movement or free trade. That we wished to return to our democratic process cannot be a surprise but it seems also that we are in your view anti Europe. You are wrong. If the far right now take steps to instigate similar votes around the different countries of Europe the question you should be asking is why. The answer may lay in the fact that EU, written large, has only one way of doing things.... Their way. Nobody else is allowed an opinion or any alternate way. Does that sound like democracy to you? The stuff we started out with when we signed up years ago was free trade... a common market. Turning it into the EU, bolting on all the other stuff and ceding power of law to the EU was not voted for until now and guess what. This land is not prepared to continually bend over so that a few bureaucrats can make their millions. We had a Common Market and still want one but some of the political elite, the moneyed few, seem to want to keep adding new conditions for continued access. So, unless you admire this cultural Marxism, maybe you too should be asking questions of the EU like:Who died and made you King?  |

I agree, many things the EU represents and does are wrong.
----------------------------------------But me, personally as a citizen of the EU, cannot accept that the UK votes to leave and ends up with everything they had before. Like I said, you want to leave fine. Just leave as soon as possible. I wish you all the best, I really do. I wish many changes in the EU but I am not confident. - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz [Edit 2 times, last edit by Falconet at Jun 27, 2016 4:57:07 PM] |
