EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

[Harbornite]

In hindsight, Brexit is good because it will encourage Scotland to leave. Therefore, if Scotland does go its own way, then the UK's average life expectancy will increase by 30 years and average annual rainfall will decrease by 11 litres...

Well then, I admit: the council is c-r-a-p, the houses are c-r-a-p, the people are c-r-a-p, the roads are c-r-a-p and the trains are c-r-a-p, but we have one thing everyone else doesn't have.

A c-r-a-p disposal plant?

 

[NoMorePacers]

Scotland will go bust and beg to join us, despite what Sturgeon claims. We will refuse and let them struggle.

 

[Harbornite]

Sleepless nights? Do you believe what I said?

Brexit folk are gullible. You could tell them that there's going to be another mongol horde led by Amir Kahn en route for Britain and they'd fall for it.

Really? Not a sore loser or anything are you?:roll:

I thought it was home to that one from the chocolate advert, what was it called, aah yes, HMS Bounty

I'm not as bothered as you think. Sorry to burst your bubble. Also it seems you lack a sense of humour, as even the majority of brexiters would recognise that statement as a joke. :roll:

Come to think of it, it wouldn't surprise me if Brexiters believed such wibble, they will believe most things that Nigel tells them.

I voted yes for independence in 2014, yes to remain yesterday and will vote yes for independence 2, why? Because Scotland is a caring, compassionate country who embrace all cultures and respect all people. We enjoy the benefits of being a part of Europe, bask in European culture and love our European neighbours. England is a haven for immigrant hating, xenophobic, racists, a country insulating itself from all it's neighbours including the home nations and trying to basically cut themselves off from the whole world. For the first time in my life ever, I can safely say I am ashamed to be British. Why the hell would we want to be in a union with a nation of haters? Get us out of here! And by the way, here is a personal invite to all you English folk who probably feel the same about your fellow citizens, all you decent folk who were not taken in by the right wing garbage spouted by the Leave campaign, come to Scotland and live, you are more than welcome! All I ask is that you want to be happy.

....and impose a total ban on the shipments of Buckfast Tonic Wine to Scotland..

It's not just Wales: Cornwall has received £1 billion in EU funding over the last 15 years with another £400 million due by 2020. Now John Pollard, the leader of Cornwall Council is 'demanding' that the government provide the same level of funding in future. Ah, bless! Cornwall voted by 180 odd thousand to 140 odd thousand to leave by the way.

Ever seen a representation of a Highland Charge?

Yes - Culloden

Perhaps by Cornwall declaring UDI and declaring the renewal of their long historical association with Brittany would keep the EU funds flowing.

Nothing like a bit of stereotyping is there! I thought you would show tolerance towards England rather than xenophobia. Anyway your idea for all "decent" English folk to move to Scotland is downright stupid and I;m not sure if it even deserves any serious consideration.

So just the 3 constitutional crisis tonight - what will tomorrow bring?

 

[gareth950]

An interesting point has been raised after the result was announced about how much EU money is sent to the Welsh Valleys on account of their peripheral poorness to the EU yet the percentage of those voting "Leave" in the Welsh Valleys was quite high.

Now that source of EU money will now eventually come to an end, will the WAG expect the Treasury to make up that particular shortfall?

Well the Leave side did say that they would make up every penny of the money Wales gets from the EU and that Wales wouldn't be worse off.......so yes, the WG will expect Wales' EU funding to be made up by the Treasury.

 

[richw]

I wanted to remain. I was disappointed initially but coming to terms with it, and realise we just need to embrace and get on with it now.

The pound has risen back and steadied around February levels,
The FTSE100 is higher than it was a week ago,
America France and Germany have all stated they want to Keep good trade agreements. All said otherwise in the campaigning.

If They believed the Leave campaigners who had zero mandate to agree such, I have little sympathy to them.

Haha..really really can't see that happening!

and where's George (Osborne) today?

 

[Arglwydd Golau]

Not always, but have for a long time. They were opposed to joining the common market at first, but soon came round to it.
.

Yes, I'd forgotten Plaid Cymru did that, but they were a different party in those days, with litlle idea or inclination to move out of their welsh-speaking heartland. Recently though they had taken great strides to do just that, but I think that they have lost out to UKIP - of all parties.

I wonder what measures the Government is planning to take to boost the value of the Pound which has been battered since the referendum result.

I also notice that Nigel Farage is already starting to back track on his pre referendum promises and I'm curious to know what people who voted Brexit think of that.

Another question for those who voted for a Brexit; what do they think of Airbus suggesting that it will review investment levels in the UK following the decision to leave the EU. Perhaps other European based companies will follow their lead.

Surely Airbus would be buggered as RR provide most of their engines and the wings for the A380 are built here too

There are other companies that could provide engines instead, though.

But that would take time to do, correct?

Who says that the wings will continue to be made in the UK? If Airbus stop investing in their UK plants eventually they would be closed and so the wings would be manufactured in other European plants.

Do you honestly think that Rolls Royce would not continue to supply Airbus with engines if they closed their plants in the UK?

 

[TheKnightWho]

But that would take time to do, correct?

Not really - Airbus don't solely work with RR for engines. Increasing orders from other sources at the expense of RR wouldn't be a logistical problem.

But any engines supplied to them would require a whole new trading treaty and contract

 

[RichmondCommu]

So would the closure of the plants. It would be a long, terminal decline without consistent levels of investment.

It's worth mentioning here that the airlines pick the engines not Airbus.
