The 'I told you so' EU referendum - Officially the Worst Thread Ever

[Chippy]

a plunge in the pound caused by the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union.

One could argue that as nothing has happened yet ,as we still have not done anything to leave , the cause is due to speculators .

Who are speculating that the UK economy is going to go down the toilet because of Brexit so want to sell pounds.

Pretty much every paper apart from the Express and Mail are printing all this stuff. I mainly post from the Guardian as it is free to view.

The completely inadequate exit provisions and plans are yet another example of how disengaged the EU is with citizens - they never really thought anyone would leave.

The EU reaction since then has summed up many people's gripes and disenchantment with the EU (although don't forget anybody who voted leave did so to get rid of those bloody Poles). Unelected power-crazy Europhiles from th European Commission immediately making outlandish and antagonistic statements, whilst the leaders of the EU's two most influential member states continually purport to develop policy and issue statements on behalf of the whole EU despite nothing within the legislative frameworks giving them a mandate to do so any more than the leaders of any other member states.

The pound is reeling because the one thing that the markets hate most is uncertainty. Confidence will continue to be low as long as our future trading relationship(S) become much clearer, which is likely to be some time.

Lol. You Brexiters are brilliant. You want the remainers to do the shit job of taking us out, and it is somehow the EU's fault that we are in such a mess. You wanted it to happen so it is up to you and those who led the disgraceful campaign to develop a plan (strange no-one had one before), implement it, and live with the disastrous consequences. This shit fest belongs to you guys.

When is this animosity towards the people who voted to leave the eu going to fucking stop!?
The fucking establishment is going to ignore the fucking democratic will of the electorate and stay in anyway!
You are actually bringing me to the decision not to vote in anything again, local or general elections,or referendums.
My vote,along with the rest of the "leave c.unts" counts for fuck all!
Sorry for taking up room in YOUR country!

Just so you know Chippy,I have just e-mailed my local council to ask that either my name is taken off the electoral register immediately, or if necessary, they inform me of the process to do so.
You have also made up my mind not to go to the match on Sunday, afterall, you would not want a filthy piece of leave voting scum polluting your air.
Also, if you want me to stop posting on this forum just say so.

"You want the Remainers to do the shit job of taking us out" - don't know what part of my post that is directed at. Likewise you're jumping to conclusions if you've read from that that I'm blaming the EU. Don't let that stop you though Chippy.

It must be so difficult for you operating on a completely difficult intellectual platform to everybody who voted to leave.

Every single post Of yours on this thread has been condescending in the extreme - I don't know why you waste your time when everybody who shares a different view is regarded as just too stupid to understand your point and agree with you.

Bit of an over reaction. Democracy isn't a one off event. As soon as one vote is taken all parties re-group and try to work out how they can win the next battle or war. To quote a great man,

In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-e ... m-36306681
If it had gone the other way wouldn't you and others be telling me that I was wrong?

Fairly obviously I think Brexit is a huge mistake and will do everything within the very flawed democracy that we have, to try to stop it.

I was a member of the Lib Dems for nearly 40 years and watched governments being elected on small % of the electorate. I think the whole system stinks. I haven't taken my bat and ball home. I have voted and been active in every election in my life time. Mostly to no avail.

As for your point about "the establishment". Aren't the Mail (Viscount Rothermere), the Sun and Times (Murdoch), Telegraph and Express, Boris de Pfeffel Johnson (Eton and Oxford) part of it?

As for the match on Sunday, fear not, I will not be there. Finally let my silver membership go this year as Arsehole Wanker has done what I thought was impossible and made me pretty much disinterested in football for next season.

So don't get wound up by a prat like me.

Tell you what if you vote me in as pm I'll fucking implement article 50
It wouldn't scare wouldn't give it another thought
T may seems to have gone really quite on the issue

Probably because she's on holiday in Switzerland. Couldn't go anywhere in the EU obv!!

Glad we brighten your day Chippy. Do you really think that I as a leaver want T May to lead us out of the EU. I for one do not trust her to do it, I would much prefer a dedicated Brexiter to take the reins.

[Chippy]

Anyway this is not from the Guardian. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1601868/l ... rade-deal/

Nothing like a good scary headline , then in the script

:- A Department for International Trade spokeswoman said: “Our priority will be to get the best deal for Britain, and this includes allowing British companies to trade with the single market in goods and services.

But that doesn't suit the use of 2" letters.

But you can't be part of the single market without freedom of movement. Quite clear that most Brexit voters wanted to stop immigration. How do you square that circle?
