    It’s going to be a brave new world and I for one can’t wait, the whole family is preparing already.

    The grandchildren are having great fun practicing climbing up the inside of chimneys, I’m having a silver topped walking stick made to deal with attacks by footpads (of which there will be millions once we go back to true British values, abolish benefits and bring back workhouses), Chesh will learn the correct way to tug his forelock when the Rees-Moggs are driven by in their carriage, and anyone caught stealing a loaf of bread (or fighting a police officer, Chesh) will be deported to Australia (a key part of our trade deal with them).

    It’s going to be great to know we’ve taken back control from a host of institutions designed to protect the ordinary man and handed it over straight away to the right wing of the Tory party

    Yes but my post did not say we had had a third referendum but presumably that you would support a third referendum because as you say 'people always vote the same way forever is total bollocks.'

    There was a position in early evolution where it would have been just as risky to jump off a cliff as stay on the top of the cliff as nobody had ever jumped off a cliff before.

    The richer they get the more their contributions will increase. So then we will no longer subside Poland.
    We actually joined in January 1 1973 - the referendum was in June 1975 and was to decide whether we should continue to remain in the European Community.

    A historical precedent of judging something after some time has passed so that we can reflect on how it's gone that I'm sure Brexiteers will support post Brexit?

    And what would a no deal do for the Welsh Lamb industry
    So NZ currently has tariff free access to the EU up to a certain quota. But currently only uses 76% of that quota. So all the New Zealand lamb you currently enjoy whilst in the EU is tariff free in that sector.

    Australia has a much lower quota than New Zealand and uses 100% of it and is desperate to increase it and would more than likely be very happy to have much more tariff free trade with the UK.

    But what would happen to Welsh Farmers if you have more tariff-free trade Lamb coming in? And at the same time if there's no deal they'll take a massive hit on the exports (as 93% of Welsh lamb exports are currently to the EU)?

    As New Zealand Lamb is cheaper than Welsh lamb an influx of more cheaper Lamb from Australia coupled with the effects of paying a tariff and more importantly the custom checks that would be needed with a no deal to the market you currently make 93% of your exports to I imagine would have an impact.

    But don't take my word ask the Farmers union of Wales who warned pre the vote https://www.fginsight.com/news/news/brexit-could-be-dangerous-for-welsh-farmers---fuw-9257

    And then the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board produced a study on the impact of three different Brexit. And you can find out the reaction of the NFU to that here http://www.walesonline.co.uk/business/farming/half-welsh-farms-could-risk-13744986

    *SPOILER ALERT* Contains the phrase 'devastating impact'.

    *BREXIT ALERT* May contain the opinion of experts.

    No but I could point you to a theory of evolution that couldn't have occurred with in the time scale of the Bible but it would contain the opinion of experts so you probably wouldn't like it.

    OZ Lamb might be different but when NZ lamb is ready for market,xmas there is no fresh Uk lamb about so very little impact.
