I have no dislike of Britain Col. I lived there 15 years and mostly enjoyed every minute of it. As for our leader, he is on his last legs and will be voted out in a week or so. My grasp of history is regarding WW2 is that America and Russia did more to defeat Nazism than Britain did.

My mistake mate. I was just going on your recent posts.

Britain stood alone against the Nazis when our European chums had capitulated.
Air raids of horrendous magnitude were endured and had it not been for our magnificent air force during the battle of Britain, this island would surely have been invaded.
We weren't losing we were holding our own.
Obviously the yanks being forced into the war against their will tipped the balance, along with a terrible decision by Hitler to invade Russia.

Yes, Germany and France boss Europe. That is the reason Britain is leaving. You can not accept a submissive role behind those two countries.

Ireland is very useful to the EU now. We remain the only English speaking country in the EU. That will attract even more direct foreign investment to us. Suck it up Ellers. A little small country that left the UK 100 odd years ago is now thriving. Scotand and NI who are being dragged out against their wishes should take note.

Mate, do you not see the irony in this post?
We're leaving the EU in order to thrive too.
 
This kind of condescending attitude towards anyone who voted leave is one of the main reasons our Country will remain divided imo.

Time to pull together.

No one has commented on ALL of those who voted Leave. Merely on the comments of some absolute bone heads from last night.

As for ‘pulling together’ I’ve no idea what that is supposed to actually mean in this context. I’ll carry on with my life, but when the effects of Brexit hit home, those who delivered and cheered it on, will rightly be held to account.

Okey dokey.

What if things ultimately improve, as many forecasters have now changed their opinion to?
Will you then embrace our brave new world?

Must have missed all of those forecasters suggesting that, I’ve seen suggestion that the U.K. will receive a bounce due to certain aspects been clarified but the forecasts are pretty much universally bad.

Thomas McBrexit, the lead economist at the Institute of Optimism says we’ll all be richer when Turkey joins the EU and it crumbles simultaneously.

Which forecasters are these? You seem to be confusing less ****e than previously thought, with better than i.e. an improvement on the status quo.
