    The battery's flat on the hedge trimmer, I'm going to have to leave it to charge while I eat.

    I didn't mean that to sound as arsey as it did, it's just that the EU simply can't allow us a free trade agreement without restrictions. It would leave us able to do deals that would put us at a massive advantage to the other member states, we could put half of them out of business overnight.

    The EU 6 foreign ministers made it very clear that they're stung by this result. They're not the only ones. What we don't need is knee jerk reactions from the negotiators, but we know that's what we'll get. The EU are already acting as if we've left and that they have nothing to gain by making this an amicable divorce, but that's because they are in a polygamous marriage and they're afraid everyone is going to leave and that all they'll have left is a bedsit and an old sofa.

    But that was what a lot of people where objecting to.
    Then to say they want to keep them coming is a kick in the teeth surely.

    Spain needs looking after just as much as Alvabia, Serbia, Turkey.

    People who voted leave where unhappy with the influx of EU (mainly eastern eu) workers.
    So to then say they want to keep them coming is rather strange situation.

    I don't think most voters realised that it was a likely outcome? Not their fault by the way, just poor information for the whole thing

    You are making quite a few predictions; arguing them is as pointless as you stating them as facts.

    Why do you think Cameron's done one?

    He knows perfectly well that nobody can actually deliver what many of the people who voted Leave are expecting.

    I'd laugh if they won, and then the EU will created a directive to over rule it.

    Their insistence on telling how to replace the leader of our ruling party is a typical act of Euro arrogance.

    The EU can try and force /coerce/order whatever. Is there the political will to take this on and go for it. I dont think there is. Its scared the politicians.Boris is a ****ing Europhile anyway, so is Michael Howerd.

    If they do nothing it will be a ****ing disgrace. Wheres the politician with a plan?

    The trouble is Lamby a lot dont look at more than one issue.
    So to then find out that theyre going to not follow through with it would be a disgrace.
    Personally i didnt take notice of either side.
    I was more interested in what IMF etc had to say.

    No. We buy stuff from across the Atlantic and export all across Europe. When talking to our suppliers about 'the Europeans' they always find it amusing that I see myself as British and continenters as Europeans, as across the pond they just think of us as european.

    Newsflash !!!
    We aint the be all end all centre of the Universe that some Parochial tub thumping little Englanders think we are.
    That ended over a century ago.!!!
    Its a divorce and they nearly always end fractious when one side is unfaithful.
