Could UK U-turn on Referendum Result
Discussion
Some of the barbs being thrown on the Twitter sphere are amusing and to the point.
Tim Stanley says "Let's take back control!" From, et, the voters?
Andy Watt: Marching against the democratic decision of the people. How progressive.
And
I accept the democratic decision of the people which is why I'm not marching.
Or Charles Dodgson "No one's denying your right to march, it's your attempt to void a democratic vote that is disgusting"

There is only “Brexit”, plus whatever we can recover from the wreckage. Which is whatever the other 27 countries want to give us. We have to hope they think free trade is in their interest, but there is little we can do to stop them picking and choosing what to have free trade in (cars) and what barriers to keep up (financial services).

Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, whose prediction of lower economic growth next year provoked Boris Johnson at the Chequers Cabinet into saying it was important to be “confident”, according to James Forsyth of The Spectator. “Hammond coldly replied that the Government had to be confident and realistic.”
...
The British people voted for Brexit knowing that there would be an economic price to pay
(did they now? plenty here seem to think we're already in a bed of roses)
...
“Brexit means Brexit and we’re not in control of it.”
Uplifting stuff. ...

It says we should hope for whoever we can get from the wreckage. It's realistic. All the rest is spin. Apart from us not being in control. That's just scary.
It's going to be an interesting ride. It seems Hammond is concerned about the economy and resigned to difficult waters.
The fact that Boris is harping on about being "confident" hints at a big bluff on getting our cake.
I do wonder what will happen to Brits ability to work in the EU once we pull up the drawbridge.
What is going to happen between NI and Eire?

"Hard" border, shooting, death, brimstone, fire.It seems Hammond is concerned about the economy and resigned to difficult waters.

Or, 'nobody knows yet'.......?
"Interesting" indeed
Was Bob Geldof out protesting today?
Or perhaps the remainers had to rely on a cross dressing ex-comedian.
You Remoaners really have some superb role models.
Your former Chancellor of the Exchequer was on Strictly Come Dancing earlier.
Your glorious leader, Dave, jumped ship as soon as he heard that you were beaten.
There is one thing that we are in agreement with.
I do think that we should have another referendum.
Many people have seen the benefits that have sprung from the decision to vote Leave.
FTSE250... up
Pound... down
Exports... up
Consumer spending... up
Unemployment... down
Now that people can see that all the claims made by Project Fear were lies,
if we have another vote, then it will probably be 80% in favour of "Leave".
So, yes. Let us have a second referendum.
Will you bedwetting Remoaners promise to STFU if you get beaten by 75% next time?
If so, then I will fully support your campaign for a second referendum.

Let's see the import figures before we get to excited about the export figures. I think we have about another week to go.
I don't know what they will be, but comparing the two gives an idea of what is actually going on.
Sterling is slowly rising and if it gets back to where it was, will the export figures be as good ?
It's early days.

Try telling that to ajd who is likely to be found with his arms round his knees, rocking back and forth in his lead lined shed whilst surviving on pot noodles whilst waiting for the "complete disaster" we keep hearing about.I wish the remainers would stop being such a bunch of pussies.

Still clinging on
What's the quote of the day? "I'm not in denial, I'm in refusal."
Sums many of them up.
Still 50/50 I reckon, keep kicking the can down the road, until events change the course.What's the quote of the day? "I'm not in denial, I'm in refusal."

Not that it's a major concern personally as I'm lucky enough to be able to get EU citizenship via an Irish grandparent I never met.
I'll still be free to flit between insular Britain (or little England when the other parts of current UK have their way) & place in Portugal. Regardless of the outcome of the 'EU nationals stay here if Brits can stay there deal'

Why would anyone "Love" the EU? That's like saying "I love the United Kingdom Government", it's rather odd.
I was pondering on all those "Can't live without EU" posters and came across this: https://politicalviolenceataglance.org/2016/07/05/..."In the end, the Brexit vote against the EU is really one against multiculturalism, cosmopolitanism, and internationalism." He makes that sound like it's a bad thing
Post-nationalism has a long and mostly respectable history in this country: Cecil Lewis (WW1 pilot) was advocating "world state, world currency, world language" back in 1936. I'm not convinced that the anger we are still seeing from some Remainers is just about financial services passporting and tariffs. It's more emotional than that. The only thing we know for sure about Brexit is that as soon as the government triggers A50 the post-nationalist vision for the UK is dead. That might make me angry, if I didn't think post-nationalism was a load of old cock.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
