Going to try and focus on the positives now, well I'll need to find some first, but this sums it up for me:

You know, Brexiters, it wasn't the EU who sold off the council houses, it wasn't the EU who closed down our heavy industries, it wasn't the EU who flogged off state assets cheap, it wasn't the EU who sold off school playing fields, it wasn't the EU who decided that we should recruit doctors and nurses from abroad because it was cheaper than training our own, it wasn't the EU who put untrained teachers in our schools, it wasn't the EU who liberalised credit, it wasn't the EU who encouraged private landlords, it wasn't the EU who introduced and accepted zero hours contracts, it wasn't the EU who permitted the city to speculate so wildly that we will be paying off the debt for generations to come, it wasn't the EU who is cutting the budgets to education, squeezing the NHS and decimated local government.

No, it was the governments who YOU voted for, the rightfully elected governments of this country which you chose at the ballot box. You were given the choice of those governments, and that's who you chose, and they carried out the mandate that you gave them. You were happy to accept the promises and the tax cuts, and you are blaming the EU for all the bad decisions that you - or us as a country, have taken inthe past thirty years.

You are so angry at the EU for doing all the things that you actually voted for, carried out by the leaders that were democratically elected by yourselves.

And you blame the EU for all the dumb choices that were made over the past generation in this country..... you were there, you made these choices, and now we have to live with them.

Deal with it.
 
Let's just hope this is the positive change that so many people are convinced it is.

I have many concerns now but am desperate to be proved wrong. Now it's done it's done and we all have to stride on.

The exchange rates haven't moved much at all, the dollar rate is a few percentage points down and the Euro has barely moved at all, so far we've got off very lightly.

Osbourne is busy packing his bags.

Poor old Osborne. In the news yet people still confuse him with the singer from Black Sabbath. He will be getting paranoid.

Benn doesn't get it. Rather than looking at what people are saying, he's hell bent on finding ways to repackage their ideas. It's the attitude rather than the outcome Hillary.
 
where's les mutrie now said:
The electorate made their choice based on a series of lies and scare stories and in essence that is not too different normal elections, but I would suggest this is why so many people are aggrieved by the result. Tomorrow morning may bring further financial shocks. At the moment the pound is continuing to drop in value = to 0.98 Euros. Where the hell is the chancellor at the moment?

And where the **** did you find that bullshit? At the moment the pound buys 1.23 Euros

He's yesterday's papers and won't be Prime Minister when the petition is considered.

The petition is bollocks along with most of the names on it. It may be considered for a few seconds, accepted as an unreliable representation, before being discarded down the khazi.

Last time I looked £ was 1.23. On the upside it makes our exports cheaper.

How many of the 3,247 names from the Beverley and Holderness constituency are bollocks then?

How many were those too idle to get out and vote but who are now squealing like little Violet Elizabeth Botts, stamping their feet and threatening to scweam and scweam until they are thick?

Just going to post the same. Presumably he is one of those intelligent, highly educated Remain voters we hear so much about. An economist perhaps?

I don't where he got it from, could forgive him if he had said 0.8 instead of .98 by just getting the currencies wrong way round.
 
Watching the news on various channels this morning and I have come to the conclusion that it is time to change this thread title. The brexit vote is old news. The state (and what a state it is) of British politics and governance is the big story now. Just who is going to stand up and represent the people? All the party's are in complete disarray.

Please don't get too political and get the thread closed, i'm enjoying this debate.
