Now lets sit back and watch all the 'remoaners' say this doesn't mean anything yet as its only been a few days and we have to wait till we actually leave. these will be same 'remoaners' who started crying on Brexit +1
I do agree that we will see a huge volatility over next couple of years but I still believe it is good in the long term...
Mr Biggles - an SNP member AICMFP. Give yourself a slap around the chops and stop fantasizing. rUK is Scotland's largest export market and the French wholly owned Channel Tunnel could be shut down if the UK Government felt it represented a national emergency. I can't be bothered answering the rest of your drivel and I suspect you've got homework to complete.
Ok, in the interest of positivity here's my take on the future.
The economy tanks, the pound takes a huge hit and we have to rejoin the EU and the Euro to dig ourselves out of the s
t.
Having got into the EU we abolish the commission, enhance the powers of the eu parliament, and start down the road to a United States of Europe with the U.K. At the heart.

He comes across as something of a clown I agree.
Have you ever spoken to a clown who is not working? The trade is one of the most respected in their environment, generally hardworking and highly intelligent people.
Oh and the entry requirements and length of training make your career choice rather laughable.
Not a personal dig Derek, I value your posts and insight, just pointing out that not many clowns are stupid.
I assume you clicked on the link. The sentiments of the song are quite revealing. It is about expectations that are thwarted. The clowns referred to mean a distraction to the terrible result of, in the song/play, unrequited love. We have our clowns, telling us that everything is fine and rosy, and their posts are distracting, but of no significant value. It is a function that Johnson performs as well, and quite well.Have you ever spoken to a clown who is not working?

'Isn't it great, isn't it rich' seems to be the mantra of those who have no idea what will happen with the exit negotiations. Look, we have a funny man. Everything is all right.
Johnson will be in charge of negotiations. He has no political beliefs. He is of straw. He will pick the option that makes him look good.
Like 'A Little Night Music', we will be distracted whilst we are sold down the river for political advantage I'm no fan of May, but she'd make a better negotiator. She will stick to what she is told, she has no concern for the fall out for others, in this case the EU, and she has no discernible morals when it comes to politics (identical to Johnson I know). But she will do the best job she can because it is her job.
She didn't care what she did to the police. Many believe that she told lies about funding. When challenged she just said everyone who had studied the figures were wrong. This is the type of person we want in negotiations. Not someone whose only concern is himself. Someone the equal of Merkel.
Everything depends on the negotiations. We need someone strong, single-minded but not utterly selfish.
I am sure that clowns are intelligent and hard working. To make a living out of bending balloons would be beyond most people, but they are not the clowns referred to in the song. I'll apologise to any clowns offended by my post and would ask that they do not throw a bucket of pretty paper at me.

I assume that most people appreciate that immigrants tends to be hard workers and frankly generally harder workers than many of the indigenous populace.
A vote for leave was a vote (I hope at least) for self control. Not racism.
I expect we will continue to welcome hard working, honest and decent immigrants the same way we always have (well, I suppose it could be argued to Romans, Vikings and French were somewhat different)....
However we will now have a Parliament which is the final word on our law. We should therefore have fewer new laws and hopefully (perhaps I am living in a dream world) laws which better represent what the UK wants and needs.

There is so much scaremongering. I assumed, incorrectly, that you were joining in with it.
The world is really no different to last Thursday.

This is worth a read:
Brexit is a beacon of hope for all Europe.
Not for the first time in our history, Britain has lit a beacon to inspire millions across Europe who feel ignored, disdained and oppressed by ruling elites.
Indeed, those at home who are nervous about Brexit should take heart from the joyful reaction of countless EU citizens who yearn to follow our example.
In Greece, France and Spain, polls show more want to pull out of the EU than to stay in. And in Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden, over 40 per cent are against membership, along with many more than a third of Italians and Hungarians.
Yet for years, these disenfranchised millions were told it was simply not possible to reform the EU – let alone leave it – and that the free movement of people is an immutable part of the package.
But in their arrogant conviction that they knew best, they showed they were incapable of heeding public concerns.
And look at them now. Terrified that others may follow the UK's lead, that sneering, bibulous buffoon Jean-Claude Juncker – one of the EU's five presidents! – refuses informal talks about a trade deal (though he's happy to meet the SNP's Nicola Sturgeon, if only to snub her).
Meanwhile, under fierce domestic fire over migration, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte loftily declares that the UK has 'collapsed' because of Brexit.
How, then, does he explain why the FTSE index is back at pre-referendum levels? And why have Land Rover, Rolls-Royce, Toyota and Dixons all declared their full confidence in the UK's future?
How significant, too, that since the vote, France has said the once non-negotiable free movement of people has suddenly become negotiable, while the border controls it threatened to move to England are to remain on French soil?
No, it's the countries that stay behind in the EU, chained to a backward system collapsing under its bureaucracy, which have more to fear from the future.

I've decided I'm going to be positive from now on.
I've said my piece in the various threads about my concerns and those of the businesses I work with but I'm tired of the stress it's causing me now - I'm really not someone who gets stressed normally, but then I'm not used to not being in control of my own destiny, or at least what I perceive to be control of my own destiny.
Yes, I'm a remainer, or 'remoaner' as someone termed it above (quite funny, actually) but I'm resigned to the fact we're going to set sail from the shores of the EU on the good ship UK so I'll now start looking forwards to the journey and hope we find this new land which will bring us untold wealth and prosperity, or at least not abject failure anyway.
All aboard!

Yes, I'd agree, it's just that most folks look at the 100. In other good news, the ftse250 also looks like it's coming back as wellhttp://uk.reuters.com/business/markets/index?symbo...
