How could he ever deliver it? I doubt it was a reason anyone voted as they did.

Farage is the leader of a party with one ****ing MP, he is in control of nothing. How the **** does anyone seriously think he could play any part in deciding how the government he has nothing to do with could decide to spend our money?

You seriously underestimate the sheer ignorance, naievity and in some cases absolute stupidity of a hell of a lot of people.

Is there really anyone on here looking forward to a future Government, run by the likes of Johnson, Gove, Duncan-Smith, Farage and essentially Murdoch?
Biggest bunch of right-wing power mongers since the Third Reich.
At least they'll be on great terms with the likes of Marine Le Pen, who will no doubt benefit from this result.

I'm looking forward to a UK government that can be voted out if the electorate disagree with their policies.

I'm sure people had reasons to vote. Some of them would have been genuine. But many of the voters I imagine were led by what they were told by both sides by campaigns that contained an awful lot of bullshit. So instead of doing the reasonable thing and researching both arguments they went along with whatever suited them personally. It's nothing to do with condascention and I resent you calling me out on that for simply stating my views on the matter.

From a social point of view, the people who went through uni, were educated and put thought into their vote mostly chose to remain. The forklift drivers, builders and unemployed people chose to leave, citing things such as "bloody immigrants", "taking our country back" and "£350 million a week back into our economy". Not an accurate cross section of voters by any means, but have a look at your own social media using the same criteria and see if it matches up.

So these people in low skilled jobs are the ones that I think the campaigns were targeted at, people who have an over reliance on the media because they won't look things up for themselves out of fear or laziness. All it takes is one outlet to be labelled a "danger to society" and whichever campaign backs that will get the vote. It's a cowardly and derisive strategy that prayed on a lot of weak willed people. It's exactly what Donald Trump is doing in America right now.

Speaking of Trump, he welcomed our decision to leave the EU with open arms. So it must've been a good idea. That's some endorsement that is.

He has to be an elected MP first...

Regarding the Scotch, I don't think they realise that they only got so many concessions before for their own referendum because our government knew they were critical to this EU vote.

Take the Scotch out of todays results and it's an utter landslide of Out.

We don't have to give them **** all to stay now. They have a **** economy and the EU wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. They had their chance, and they ****ed it up.

Soz.

****s.

To take out all of the Scotch would be a sobering experience for the Scots. <cheers>

More meaningless waffle. It didn't go your way. Deal with it.

I would have thought that a superior intellect that supported Remain could have spelt condescension.
Were you were getting it confused with condensation?

Nice of you to avoid going into you,re usual racist tirade about a load of incorrect bollocks and just declare that your thoughts are more meaningless waffle.

You should do that more often. Others would also do well to take note.

Thats a ****ing ****ty thing to say. I'm both of those people, educated and went through Uni and also an ex labourer not even a tradesman. Andi tell you what the uneducated labourers i used to share a lobby with 20 years ago were just as thoughtful and intelligent on the whole as the people i share an office with now.

Economic migrants are fine Hat aren't they, that was Brexits point all along. It wasn't an exclusion zone they were setting up for these people, it was giving themselves access to people with skills beyond Europe who we couldn't employ. I hear nothing but good about the work ethic of most of these people. There could be 5000 nurses from the Philippines wth great skills here tomorrow, that sort of thing. What they didn't want and likely most of us don't want are Romanian pickpockets and gipsies.
