Eck tis footy time. Suited booted and riding in. Style.

 

Are tariffs a reasonable option, compared to creating an environment that's geared to support suppliers in providing consumers with a quality product at the right price?

 

I've not been on this thread as i'm still in a state of shock, there is no point as a Remain supporter trying to point out to those who voted leave why we believe they're wrong, people have voted it's over. What happens now and in the future will happen, I hope i'm wrong and that those who have voted for leave don't end up in a situation that is worse than they have now, sadly I think that the largest portion of the less well off in this country will have voted to leave as they have become so dissatisfied with the perceived state of the country that change appeared to be the best option, and if a recession does bite it will unfortunately be those people who get it in the neck first and often hardest. Time will tell.

For those who have voted leave, based on rational thought, fair play to you, but I will leave it with one video which i believe sums up why a decision like this should never have been made by the general public. The first gentleman sums up what I believe to have been a small portion of the exit voters, not representative of all of them by any means, but of a significant enough percentage to have swayed the vote. People so ****ing ill informed and stupid should not be allowed to influence policy so.

 

Thats superb Dutch.

 

Deffo. A fascist France on our doorstep would be good for everyone.

Hopefully, we'll get a full rollback and Germany will go fascist again - worked out well for everyone last time.

 

So who should make it?
A think tank?
An intellectual elite?

 

I voted remain - but the more nonsense I read along these lines the more embarrassed I feel about the remain voters.

I've heard people claiming pensioners shouldn't be allowed vote, people who didn't vote to remain are ignorant uneducated racists and now don't deserve the right to vote full stop because their outlook on politics or individual concerns don't chime with yours....

Unbelievable.

 

I think our elected politicians should make decisions of this magnitude. If my principle that idiots like that shouldn't be allowed to contribute to a vote the same holds true for me too. As despite the fact I am educated and consider myself to be intelligent, I am ill informed about all elements of the pros and cons of Exiting the EU, thus it should for me be the responsibility of those who are elected by the public, and paid as MPs to research all the pros and cons and to take a vote of this importance themselves.

 

see my above comment, I do not believe that only certain people shouldn't be allowed a vote on this matter, I believe that something so important should be properly researched, not influenced by the bias of media, by our elected officials and for a decision to be made in parliament.

edit - i'll also add that I do not and did not classify all exit voters in this way, as I state in my initial post

 

Apart from the fool that hadn't grasped that we could already do what he was asking, what was so bad about it? I've heard people say they were voting remain because they didn't want Farage, Britain First or the BNP running the country, so they possibly cancel each other out.

Surely it just highlights the failing of the politicians and the media to get an informed message out there.

 

That's called Communism and it has aready been tried and tested and shown to be total bollocks.

 

Go back and re-read what you wrote. You made no distinctions, you just voiced your extremely arrogant opinion and show no respect for anyone except yourself and those mounded in your image. A loud opinion, such as yours, would get short shift in any bar. To defend it compounds your lack of awareness. You asked.

 

Where has communism been tried and tested?

 

You can always go back to watching Love Island or TOWIE if its to taxing.

 

What we do need to do is make civics & politics part of the National Curriculum. How many people can explain how both this country and the EU runs, how laws are made, what are rights actually are? When you vote, what are you voting for, how does it work? If people don't understand even at the basic level what they are voting for, then we are going to be prey to the most "popular" arguments, and not debate around the facts.

E.g. Could anyone here define the European Commission, the European Council, the European Parliament, The Council of Ministers and the Court of Justice of the European Union? And what the UK's role/contribution is to each of them?
