    I've read 20% somewhere. I'll have to check, unless you work for BMW?

    Kinnell!

    To be or not to be-that is the question:
    Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
    The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
    Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
    And, by opposing, end them.

    Hopefully you'll recover enough to watch England. Chin up!

    I've seen even worse than this today. I'd try and avoid remain pages on Facebook, my goodness I've never seen so much oddly anti democratic crying, and democracy is something the left (including myself) is supposed to champion.

    BBC ;
    HSBC 'to move jobs to Paris if UK leaves single market.
    Who cares ? ...Heinz moved their HQ from London to Netherlands 3 years ago in order to save a couple of percent in corp. tax making a thousand or so redundant in the process. Corporations restructuring is nothing new. The Bank's CEO's can jump off Tower Bridge for all I care.

    Not sure if it's been mentioned up to now but both Hull AND the East Riding both voted to leave, blimey we agreed on something for once. Oh and as I have already mentioned before it seems like our Chancellor has gone awol.

    Well done. That's not universally the case though
    Who cares? Sums up the whole leave campaign really. Yah yah economists we're not listening, we're doing it anyway.

    Your sentiment is probably right , but don't ever be fooled that the system is run for our benefit.....it's not. Economists do get it wrong sometimes.

    So we act according to what the economists want? The same economists that those on the left and the Labour Party in particular have told us have been getting it wrong for years and the cause of most of the ills which have befallen this country.

    Add on the VWs, Audis and Mercs and I think the Germans would be more worried about being the subject of tariffs than we would on our cars being sold there. Statements from some in Germany support they view.

    There's a professor of law who had a video which was doing the rounds before the vote. He was pro-Remain.
    He discussed sovereignty. He said people who said the UK wasn't sovereign were wrong. He said the UK was a sovereign nation and the EU wasn't sovereign. Technically he was right but what he didn't say was that in order to join and maintain membership of the EU the UK had to give up a lot of that sovereignty in favour of the EU and the ECJ.
    I would advise people to be very wary of trusting people just because they are a professor or an economist.
