Stonepark Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Nicola will now start her next stage of the battle to take Scotland out of the UK union and into the European Union. She may want and may succeed in geting Scotland out of the UK however by the time that is organised there may not be an EU to try and join.

ElvisThePelvis Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Now this country should be approaching other dissatisfied EU countries encourage them to "Brexit" and negotiate with them to join a UK led Union in Europe! Let's think big! This, although with no strong leader it will be difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul1440 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Its amazing that after every referendum/election the same old political figures come out with the same old carp...that "westminster should be listening to the people and must change"... then go back to ignoring us and making out they know best. Well this is a kick in the spuds to our so called "elite" and the arrogant muppets in Brussels. True.. But who's now going to do it? Where'se Marx when you need him.

Savhmr Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Tusk has just played straight into the hands of those very nations that he wants to be "kept in line". By stating that the EU needs to be firm with the UK now that Brexit has been decided, to "send a message" to prevent any more of the 27 other member states voting to leave, he has only succeeded in drawing attention to the very reason many of us voted "out " in the first place! Who is he to tell other nations what they can and cannot do? It's clear that the EU commission and Council have had their day. With every word that emanates from their appointed leader's mouths comes only affirmation of the control and lack of democracy that forced us down this path in the first place. I hope that other nations follow suit and quickly, so that the EC is broken up for good and then the democratic nations of Europe can return to a sensible Common Market agreement with Britain back standing shoulder to shoulder with them. It's the only way that Europe can now realistically go as a project and learn once and for all that federalism and corruption and dictatorship on the scale we have seen in our lifetimes never happens again. The EU and big business has lost touch with what it means to be human. The economy and how much bankers earn isn't really the driving motivation over what makes us human, and being controlled by un-elected and corrupt federalist mouthpieces is not what Europe wants. Look out Germany, as you, Spain, Italy, Greece, Sweden and Denmark are now the centre of attention. Unrest will rattle your cages unless radical reform happens and we all know that it wont. I didn't think I'd be waking up to Cameron's departure, Corbyn and Osborne's likely departure and our departure from the EU! What a fantastic result for democracy! What a kick up the bum for Europe and hopefully one that sees us grow closer to our fellow Europeans when they realise we're standing shoulder to shoulder with them all, and pointing the way to a fairer and more democratic future for us all. I look forward to the day that we can return in an atmosphere of mutual respect to a Common Market and the message the EU now have is that their un-elected leaders' days are numbered.

sako751sg Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Wow. I voted out and listening to the radio,it feels like a nuclear bomb has gone off. I feel that the Scots are acting like complete traitors to the uk with their vote. I feel sorry for the people of Greece, Portugal, Spain and the like because they have been crushed financially and no way the EU can keep printing money that doesn't exist. We need to have a change of government to actually do something different and not just a change of people. Let's hope that the sly burocrats like junker get their rears kicked out. Take 2 doses of man the **** up twice daily for a week and then everything should be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 We might have suffered weak and self serving leadership in the UK for many years, but the referendum result demonstrates the spirit of the people of the U.K. Has not been diminished, British people still posess the "bottle" to lead (and win) a fight! Now watch more EU countries follow suit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul taylor Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I can't help but feel this The vote was 52% leave . I feel all those people wanted out . The vote 48% remain was made of 2 sides . Half wanted to remain but half was scared and unsure. Let's make Britain great again We can do it and do it well This is exactly what I've said mate. I reckon a lot more than 52% wanted out but lots where scared into voting stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRYAN3 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 Maybe we can start our own club and invite Russia and China in a bid to stand up to Donald Trump later this year ? If the USA don't like the results of our next general election, they might have plans for "regime change". Russia and China might be our saviours. USA are itching for conflict and we are the buffer zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sha Bu Le Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I think that is at best a simplistic generalization and at worst a deeply unfair slur on an awful lot of people. Well said Zapp, I for one am not and have never been a racist casual or otherwise. Having the majority vote out not only sends Brussels some writing on the wall; it also sends our own government (whatever brand it may be in the future) a message, we can get rid of you every 4 years (barring calamitous cock ups). Had we stayed with the EU we would have been stuck with them for at least a generation if not much longer. Now what is Herr Junkers going to do with his "there will be consequences" (Last sentence was just a flashback thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said and well put. it would be ideal if a few other countries stood up and a few of us negotiated an exit at same time.

TONY R Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 We cannot be sure of that. More people voted that way but 18% did not vote As they did not vote they dont count how could they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam1e Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 It's true, most people votes to leave were nothing more than casual racism I woke up to a man on the radio that sounded to be quite frank like an idiot stating 'we can take back control of our borders' that is what most people decision was based on. That's not going to help anyone other than lunatics like farage who is basically a BNP fanatic in a tweed jacket. The pound will crash out horrifically today along with the FTSE 100 good luck to any of you retiring anytime soon. Speak for yourself! Sweeping loads of carp!

Walker570 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) The Scots were almost 50/50 so don't run them all out of town. The idea that they can go it alone is pipe dreams, BUT it is their decision. You makes your bed and lies on it. Regarding the USA, then I think ...hope that Trump gets to the Presidency. His press conference at Turnberry was spot on. He emphasised how through the last 100 years the two countries, UK and USA had stood shoulder to shoulder against tyranny and should he become President the close bond would continue and we would be 'first in the queue'. He said he could not believe Obama had said what he said and believed the UK would rise from the ashes of the EU along with other EU countries. Cameron resigning is the first honourable action I have seen him do. The difficulty now is finding a successor. My view is we need a new face completely but must be a Brexit supporter. Needs to be untarnished and strong willed. Roll on October when I believe Article 50 will be set forth along with a new Prime Minister and team. On edit. Interesting the dollar took a drop but the euro has already settled at what I got last week for my trip to Slovenia. 1.21e to the pound. Give it a month and it will all settle down. Our exporters can have a field day for a few months. Edited June 24, 2016 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
