EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

[Xenophon PCDGS]

What do the website members make of the detailed statement issued by the Governor of the Bank of England that was made a short time after the statement made by the Prime Minister?

Does anyone think that "stagflation" is now going to be a possibility in Britain? £200 billion has been wiped off the value of shares and the pound is trading at 1985 levels.

Watching oily Keith Vaz cry has made my day.

Gosh, doesn't the humanity and the compassion for other people shine through there...

 

[Antman]

Cameron waffling on about gay marriage and multiculturalism for some reason before he had a little cry and departed stage left.

I had hoped he would be going immediately, he really is a PM in name only now.

And what nobody would have been saying the same had it been Nigel Farage?

 

[Harbornite]

Thank you, I obviously forgot

Like how you forgot the benefits of EU membership!

Not as much because he is a liar and his argument boiled down to immigration.

Im a Remain voter. I accept the decision of the country though.

Any person who voted out has no right to moan about the consequences of the result of us voting out in the next few months. The economic shock is going to be massive. We are in uncharted territory here.

Gosh ? Do people still say that how very 1930's

Yes one of your lot is the ultra oily expense fiddling Vaz, tell me why I have to like him ?

There will be a new phrase soon "Brexit Denier".

The first case was sooner than I thought and it being Farage is quite a surprise!

Maybe we should brand Leave voters so we can be sure

This statement?

I think we're entering a 1930s style global depression, leading to even stronger nationalist views. I just hope it doesn't end in the same way the 30s did.

Looking enviously at friends who moved to NZ.

People seemed to totally forget the bankcrises of a few years ago, that cost a lot of taxeuros/pounds/whatever currency of taxpayers. And now bankers want their bonus again in London. From 2007 to 2015 there a bonus worth 91 billion pounds in London paid out.

Not like Dishonest Dave eh? Hardly surprising given that immigration is a major issue particularly in the south east!

Maybe you should brand the 28% who couldn't even be bothered to go out and vote

 

[DynamicSpirit]

And what nobody would have been saying the same had it been Nigel Farage?

Quite probably. And in that case I imagine I would have made much the same comment as I did to Railops. I would have hoped that it would be obvious to most people that taking pleasure in someone else's suffering is not a good thing to be doing.

Damn good idea, strike whilst the iron's hot as they say.

 

[Bromley boy]

Is it democracy when a few extra people get to decide for everyone. Is a few % really a majority?, esp. As a whole part of the UK voted to remain?

Yes! That's exactly what a democracy is! A few% extra make the difference.

How do you think a democracy works?

 

[Railops]

Suffering ! you talk as if he's just had a terminal diagnosis, he was on the losing side of a political referendum, hardly suffering, get a grip.

Why not have a go at the poster who thinks all Leave voters should be branded or is it only the winning side you feel the need to have a go at.

Coming into work this morning the general feel good factor is quite noticeable.

I work in the road haulage industry and it has suffered enough from EU interference. The ridiculous CPC course that requires drivers to spend 35 hours in a five year period in the classroom. Oh it sounds good but there is no test involved indeed no requirement to even listen to any of it so it's hardly going to make anybody a better driver. It has cost the industry a fortune and that will inevitably be passed onto the consumer. Then there is the 56mph speed limiter on lorries even though they can legally do 60mph on a motorway, what possible sense does that make?

Immigration is obviously a major issue particularly in the south east, something the present government have buried their heads in the sand about.

Onwards and upwards!

Sounds as stupid as the Scottish trawler skipper on tv yesterday who said if his boat fished in certain waters all 6 crew had to be fluent Latvian speakers even though they would never set foot in the place.

Interesting to see that after a vast level of popular democracy yesterday the next prime minister, who will deal with our withdrawal from Europe, will be selected by a couple of thousand Conservatives.

We haven't voted for what comes next or for how we disengage from Europe.

Coming into work this morning the general feel good factor is quite noticeable.

Not in my work place but at least whatever happens in the future (good or bad) we can be comforted by knowing we voted for it.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

After his splendid leadership of the Labour Party "Remain" campaign, where he was noticeable by his raised media profile in campaigning from the early days of the referendum debate where he led by example to motivate Labour Party members to vote "Remain", I am looking for an appearance of Jeremy Corbyn today to give his considered opinion on the result of the referendum.

that the markets would react is unavoidable. The interesting thing is how quickly they recover. In the blink of an eye we have fallen fomr the 5th biggest to 6th biggest economy and seen billions wiped of the value of the pound.

I wonder how many members of other political parties were given the opportunity to enter into the recent contest for the Labour Party leadership?

That is a very important point, whatever happens we'll be in charge of our destiny.

Indeed - we cant blame other people now. At least the health service will be superb from next week when those extra £350m's per week start rolling in.

Coming down to London today the general depressed mood is quite noticable.

I'm on a train where most people are wearing suits, but are travelling in standard class. There's an air of depression from everyone apart from the elderly couple at the end of the carriage.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I have been listening to Radio 4, not BBC TV, this morning. How strongly did he come over, as he has not appeared on the Radio 4 programme.

I don't know - I only saw the pictures.

An interesting point made on the BBC this morning. When Blair stood down as PM the Conservatives made a massive fuss about Labour changing the PM and not calling an election saying it was completly unreasonable to change a PM without calling a general election. Will Johnson, Gove or whoever remember that when they become Conservative leader?

I'm just glad my job's safe, now those million Turks won't be able to come over here and steal it from me. Although if my employer relocates part of the business to an EU country, which is highly likely, then maybe I'll be the immigrant, if they will accept me.

The world feels like it's falling apart at the seams right now.

 

[northwichcat]

It was pointed out this morning on BBC 1 that the Conservative process is different to the Labour process. One of the main differences is there can only be two names on the paper for Conservative leader. I also doubt the Conservatives will allow people to pay £3 to become eligible to vote and then start trying to filter applications if they think members of other parties are trying to join.

And how exactly do you come to that conclusion? They are two totally separate issues!
