AVB Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Cheers paul. Just heard on C4 news there that the notification has to come from the home government. I think in the confusiion on Fri some EU councilors/workers were trying it on a bit and tryig to push it on quickier by claiming there was no defination of the legal trigger Yes we have to actually invoke Article 50. It would from the Prime Minster to the EU President along the lines of 'Dear President, We are invoking Article 50. See you later.' At that point the clock starts ticking. I would have thought it would be in our interests not to rush into things, but rather do informal negotiations first. Otherwise it is a fixed timeframe and that may not be helpful. In theory we could do all the negotiating up front, invoke Article 50 and leave the next day. The two years is maximum not minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Dear president, The UK will invoke article 50 when you ******** stop trying to tell us what to do and when to do it! ie. when we are good and ready! Love, Dave. PS. the small "p" should really **** him off! Edited June 25, 2016 by panoma1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Bear Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Because when the numbty on the radio said people over 40 shouldn't be allowed to vote they were just some examples of the type of person he felt weren't worthy of having an opinion. I have a feeling said N******* was Billy Bragg "we were sold out by the greyheads" - That well known red - you can think what you like as long as it is what I tell you to think.

Guest topshot_2k Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) A lot of the signatures not even from British citizens. There is no chance of a 2nd vote after the divisions it caused and the cost. Remain need to accept they lost by over a million votes. If they had won they would be praising the democratic system. Wheels are already in motion for use exiting now anyway. The people have decided and we must now pull together and get building Britain future.

It takes a quick phone call and that should be it. What the **** else is there to say. Presumably they have TV in Brussels? Get it done quick so we can get on with the job in hand.

toontastic Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I hear one mp is calling for the government to ignore the vote If a democratic vote is overruled because the losers don't like it then democracy is well and truly dead. We may as well appoint a supreme leader and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 Simple, if the result of the referendum is not carried through then I would never ever vote in any second referendum or election of any kind again because there would be no point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesey1981 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I've seen tweets with people giving out their postcode so foreigners can sign the petition, there will be a lot of those signatures that are from people that can't vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
