    But do trade deals have to be difficult? If we want bananas dont we just ring Fiji or wherever and say send us x for y

    Buying bananas isn't a trade deal, it's shopping.

    Agreeing with Fiji that we'd charge no duty on their bananas would be a trade deal.

    But the new free trade deal we do with the EU would probably prevent us from doing such a deal.

    And just to prove all that is wrong with the EU. 6 of the 28 members foreign ministers get together for a meeting to discuss the brexit vote.

    Lets shop then why all the dealing? Why does everything mean a trade deal? We dont have EU protection barriers anymore. We dont have to protect French farmers etc. We buy and sell for our benefit. Let EU set tarrifs. If we undercut them tough

    The FTSE 100 rallied, but the FTSE 250 is still 7.3% down, resulting in billions being wiped off UK company values.

    It's these selective and misleading claims that have marred the campaign and continue to mar the aftermath.

    It was liable to come anyway, it's only really altered the timing. The EU couldn't be allowed to stay as they were, or heaven forbid, get worse.

    It's an EU free trade deal, which prevents you from doing free trade deals with anyone outside the EU.

    I can't see how we're actually resolving this at all by leaving, as we're almost certainly going to sign a new EU free trade deal that continues to restrict us.

    Other countries media were offering a variety of reasons on who was affected and what the other factors involved were. It's misleading to lump it all on the vote outcome.

    Some of us voted the UK into Europe on terms that appeared to be beneficial for all concerned. We have experienced the results of that vote for over 40 years and have taken a considered decision to vote us out of that arrangement. The fact that you don't like that is unfortunate, but you might consider buckling down to the new situation for the next 40 years and seeing how you might do something better. Or will you just whinge and continue to talk nonsense?

    I voted in.

    But I'm not a ****ing expert. None of us are.

    The majority wanted out so that's what we'll do. Older voters are just as entitled to have their view counted as us younger ones are. Some of the reactions from people who voted the same way as me have been ridiculous.

    The mouth-frothing over Farage is embarrassing too. It's only because it's Farage. What he actually said was perfectly reasonable. I'm not particularly a fan of his but I don't subscribe to some of the hysteria about certain people that social media tell you you have to despise.

    I'm also sick of reading, as counter argument to the immigration one, that unemployed people are all lazy doley bastards. It's just as stupid a stereotype as to say that all Mexicans are lazy or all Muslims are bombers. Except it's somehow allowed if you target the right demographic.

    We don't yet know what will happen to the EU going forward.

    All we do know for certain, is that we'll no longer be able to play any part in the direction it does take.

    We've already played a big part with the vote. The handling of the exit will play a further part, trading will play a part...

    I think the point about Farage is he wasn't part of the official Leave campaign nor is he an MP, so why was he popping up on tv everywhere?
