    We did so well we got to pay an extra 1.5 billion to the EU.

    Were Japan in the EU as well like? <laugh>

    The World recession was **** all to do with our membership of the EU or otherwise.

    The EU is primarily a trading collective people have lost sight of its prime reason for existing.

    It will be a slow process, but in 3 or 4 years we should hopefully be in a position where we can plan our public services better.
    Having some control over immigration will allow us to better determine the number of school places, houses, that are likely to be needed, and what skills shortages we have in our workforce. We can then allow people from anywhere in the world of our choosing, to come and fill these specific vacancies.
    It simply was absolutely unsustainable to allow migration of 300,000 to 400,000 people per annum indefinitely.
    It will take a few years to get this to a more sustainable number (around 50,000 to 100,000 is reasonable in my opinion).
    It was also crazy that we could not stop EU citizens coming here with no job, whilst commonwealth doctors and nurses have to jump through hoops to try and come here sometimes taking months to process if let in at all.

    There will be economic bumps in the road first, but you can't bake a cake without breaking a few eggs to start with.

    I am proud of the British people having confidence in our ability to govern ourselves, and I look forward to a brighter future for kids and grandkids.

    & neither was our recovery.

    I think the only people to lose sight of anything are the remainers who have resorted to idiotic claims, insults & accusations. It appears they've lost sight of democracy.

    that doesn't make sense
    why would we make a trade deal with the EU if it means we are not allowed to trade with anybody else?
    the EU trades with lots of countries and I'm sure they trade with other countries too
    I've never heard of this "one trade deal per country" rule.
    Do you have any link that explains this rule?

    There's no legal requirement for the Govt to action the result of the referendum at all....

    It'd be political suicide, but so will being the incumbent party who's now lumbered with dealing with the economic mess that the next few years is going to provide.

    Doesn't that infringe our human rights? I hear the EU have a thing about human rights.

    you can't say how we'd have faired in 08 if we were outside the EU, what you can do is state the facts as they stand 8 years later. It appears some want to try and re-write history based on hypotheticals

    Not quite, yet, but this could well be the beginning of The End. I, for one, don't like the way events seem to be simultaneously lining up around the world.
    Do the people of Hull almost always vote Labour? Yes.
    Are the people of Hull represented by forward-thinking, knowledgeable councillors? No.

    So we negotiate it. I saw Farage saying a 5% tax on trade as an example.

    This is the opportunity for our politicians to get their finger out and do something. I doubt they will as for the most part they're lazy self centred ****ers on a cushy gravy train.
    I'm hoping theres someone of whatever party to take this opportunity.

    Only if you dont negotiate for conditions beneficial to both. They want us to buy we want to buy and sell. Conditions are indeed negotiable.

    So the pound hitting a 30 year low and the BoE having to put up £250BN to arrest the decline was a figment of my imagination then? Pheeewwwww.

    No but I used the word "may".

    That should have indicated I was speculating. Not being omnipresent nor psychic as you seem to think you were.

    Keep up.

    I'm hoping that the large number of people who must have registered to vote in the referendum, have now got a taste for politics, actually having seen that their vote actually counted and made a difference.
    Hopefully in the next round of local elections they will be more engaged and we might be able to get rid of some incumbent imberciles.

    The EU have no option but to negotiate a deal that punishes us, we have to be made an example of, to stop anyone else from jumping ship.

    Whoever has to negotiate for us has an impossible job.

    Trumps idiot spokesman was on and implied that any trade deal that we make with you (which would be under Trump obv since its his spokesman) would be contingent on you invading Syria and Iraq with us.
