Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

As one of the many Owd/Thick/Working Class Oiks, who voted to leave, I still do not understand why we have to negotiate terms to leave. Surely, we just leave altogether and then negotiate with the EU about how we trade with them, in the future.
Paying fees, to be part of the 'Single Market', should not be necessary.

I think our glorious leaders are afraid that the whole of Europe will refuse to buy anything off us. We import a more goods from EU countries, than we export and if they don't buy our stuff, we don't buy theirs.

If the politicians think that the people of Europe would accept that, I feel they are very much mistaken. Can you imagine Europe without Marmite, Fisherman's Friends and Heinz beans? It doesn't bear thinking about.

I don't think the politicians think that EU countries will not buy from us.
After all we sell far less to the EU than we buy from them.
Like you I don't wish to be in a 'Norway' situation either......paying subs but having no say.......that is pretty much the position we were in before we decided to leave anyway. Our wishes and concerns were never heeded back then either.

You would think it would be easy.....just shut the door and tell them we don't play their games anymore.

I think that those who were using scare tactics are shocked to see that the things they predicted have not come to pass....this is despite the spending weeks talking down the UK.

I really think they were hoping that their predictions would come to pass and that we could go back, cap in hand, and ask to be let back in(shudder).
Despite the 'out' vote winning, there are many that would like to over turn this vote.

I am hoping that once parliament returns after the summer recess, there will be some move to sign Article 50.

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

Well, just heard on the news that she is going to knock some heads together next week.
My main concern is that Philip Hammond was against leaving and he considers the single market to be a 'red line'......this is wrong in my opinion.
We do not need to worry about trade. Anyway our trade with the EU had shrunk.
I can't believe that countries within the EU would stop trading with us.....and if they did we could tell them where to stick their BMW's

Pretty sure he is away on holiday, his car hasn't been at his house for a couple of weeks now so he has probably left his comms equipment at home.

Did I say that his house was empty and that he is out of the area?
Perhaps you should pay a little more attention to what is actually written.

Just been announced that the high court has ruled that the PM cannot act alone to trigger Article 50 & MP's are to be given a vote on it although Theresa May can appeal against the decision . . . . . . it's not done & dusted yet

Absolute travesty, treacherous judiciary once again handing the British over to the undemocratic eu! As to the bitch that brought the case forward, she's not even British! UK is done, I really hate what has become of my country & I see no hope for her anymore due to brain dead, snivelling leftists & successive traitorous governments!

As I said way, way back we aren't out yet.
This means that the will of the people and democracy mean absolutely nothing.
The people cast their votes and the judiciary trashed their votes..So is there any point at all in voting?

Son...Nail, head, hit.
It shows that the judiciary do not respect democracy, do not want us to have a right to choose....have trounced the will of the majority.
Shame on them!

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

The government should disband the judiciary simple as, if thats justice we dont need it. This to me is probably the result MAY wanted, and why article 50 was not invoked.
