    The interesting thing will be what changes the EU makes to all its red tape and ivory tower approach to ordinary people. They'll have to do something or they'll lose another member state. Brexit may yet have a silver lining for them.

    The Guardian, The Mirror, The Independent, The Observer are all left wing. The "I" pretends to be balanced but it's left.

    They sound rather sad and quiet to me.

    Great respect to two old soldiers.

    I wonder if Gina Miller will try some last minute attempt to try and stop Brexit tonight? <laugh>

    Observer is one day a week, the Independent and the I don't become left wing, for pointing out that Boris Johnson is an incorrigible liar, that leaves you the Guardian and Mirror against the Mail, Express, Sun, Star, Telegraph and FT.

    You may be right, Ellers...but they've had their warning. They must regret turning Cameron away when he came to them with his list of requests back around 2013

    Said it many times before mate. If he had been given one small consession we would probably still be in it. They were laughing at him on the way out... Tables have turned now and most experts are saying we will probably be better off.

    You can't knock out The Independent that easily. It has a left wing, liberal outlook, so does the I.

    The FT were heavily Remain, and did not support the Tories in Brexit

    I don't think The Star deals with politics does it, unless there's a sex scandal?

    Did you see that chart about the money Goldie? I think it was in yesterdays paper... basically the UK was this big blue block taking up all the space on the graph and then in 2 years it goes down to next to nothing. They will be in trouble

    Didn't see it, but it is a huge chunk of money gone. I don't know how they will spread the pain. They're talking about bringing in Albania. That will soak up money like a sponge. My position is I'm relieved we're out, don't like the EU still but I don't wish to see economic problems for Europe and the people. Anyway, we'll be onlookers and commentators from this evening on...

    Yes agree, after all the crap that was said... it has ended up being 'as usual tomorrow'.
    At the end of the day our democracy was at stake so at least we kept that.
