The last laugh could be on the very people on the right who are gloating.

For millions of people who streamed out to vote Leave from poverty stricken estates and in devastated towns this was seen as their chance to kick the government they loathed, and which most people loathe. ( elected by one in four of tye electorate, and acting like it had some massive vote of confidence behind it).

These were peole who had given up on voting years ago, or never voted in their lives. The structure of the referendum they knew that their vote counted for once.

Those on the left who voted In were collateral damage, as was tge economy.

But now the distraction of immigration controls is no more. This is the chance for a populist movement of the repressed and exploited analogous to Podemos in Spain. The old rule book is torn up.

No - only the racist bigots - especially the self-confessed ones.
An on-the spot survey announced today that the majority of those who were questioned and said they supported exit were under-educated - 'lumpen' is the old term.
In one day the British economy has taken a nosedive, the elected Prime Minister has been forced to resign, billions have been lost on the stock exchange, firms are now considering moving to the continent leaving thousands of unemployed in their wake, Scotland has demanded an Independence referendum, a border poll to find whether the Northern six counties should leave the Union has been mooted, the value of Sterling has bombed, Britain's investment in Europe is under threat and the leadership of the nation has been handed to two racist brain-deads, Johnson and Farage - on a plate -and all because 'the lady doesn't love.....

Don't know about "all", but people who support what has happened today are "thick shits" - they certainly have no regard for Britain and the people who live there.

Watching the news today, it appears that Juncker is calling for the rest of the EU to take a hard line against UK.

We should not even think of invoking article 50 until there are terms on the table that 100% protect the rights of UK citizens for freedom to live, move, work across the EU, AND VICE VERSA, for continued access to the single market to protect present and future jobs in the UK, 100% guarantee that there will be no trade tariffs, ever, that the interests of the people of the UK be consulted on all future EU decisions. Once all this is in place, then, and only then should we start any formal process.

I am currently an EU member, and I am disgusted that I am not being represented in the talks the rest of the EU are having, especially as this will have an impact on the rest of my life.

Also, any agreement must include UK continuing to pay into EU to ensure that it continues its work in leveling the playing field for the less prosperous states.

The agreement must also bind the UK to pick up the tab for EU's contribution of development and structural funding etc to be spent according to EU rules.

Shall we see how much of the above our archetypal leftist wanker got wrong - it really is quite impressive

1: The British economy has taken a nosedive

Nope - in the course of yesterday the FTSE dropped less than 3% overall - it stands exactly where it did last February.

2: "the elected Prime Minister has been forced to resign"

Nope - he voluntarily offered his resignation, to some that is known as taking responsibility for ones actions - a concept totally foreign to an archetypal leftist wanker like Jim.

3: "billions have been lost on the stock exchange"

Nothing has been lost that cannot be recovered, currency fluctuates and the price of shares rise and fall.

4: "firms are now considering moving to the continent leaving thousands of unemployed in their wake"

Are they? Name them. I dare say that once the negotiations start there may be some adjustments, but that will do little to dent the City of London as one of the world's leading financial centres.

5: "Scotland has demanded an Independence referendum"

No it hasn't. Sturgeon has said that they are considering it, but I do not think that will consider it for very long. The SNP have painted themselves into a corner. Should they go for a second indy referendum they will surely lose it as:

- Scotland will be out of the EU and will have to apply for membership
- Scotland out of the UK would have to either create it's own currency or accept one that it had absolutely no control over.
- Scotland would have to budget on running the country on the current low price of oil per barrel (Their sums didn't add up when it stood at $90 per barrel it currently stands at about one-third of that)
- Scotland's main trading partner is the UK (If separation from the EU harms British trade, then it follows that separation from the UK will harm Scotland's)

If a second independence referendum is lost then that will be that issue dead and buried.

6: "a border poll to find whether the Northern six counties should leave the Union has been mooted"

And? The criteria for any referendum on the status of Northern Ireland are clear and agreed.

7: "the value of Sterling has bombed"

Oh hardly, I have seen it worse and it stands a damned sight better chance of recovery than the Euro, if you consider that both currencies dropped and that falls on European stock markets were bigger than in the UK.

8: "Britain's investment in Europe is under threat"

Now what investment would that be Jim?

9: "the leadership of the nation has been handed to two racist brain-deads, Johnson and Farage"

As far as I am aware Jim the leadership of the nation remains the same today as it was last Wednesday - you could of course attempt in your own spittle-flecked multi-coloured ranting manner to prove me wrong but you'd be on a hiding to nothing.

Seems like yesterdays vote was somewhat of a fait accompli - we are where we are and can make no demands as to how we should be treated as non-members.
No country in its right mind is going to allow free border access to a competition nation - why should it, it was a perk of membership.
The same with employment
The vote went as it did yesterday in order to close Britain's borders - "unelected bureaucrats, democracy, taking our own decisions..." and the rest of it, had nothing to do with our withdrawal other than to be used as election slogans - Europe in no more undemocratic, bureaucratic and dependent as is our own Parliamentary system - we elect our representatives on the basis of promises they have no intention of keeping, they reign supreme for a set period serving their own interests, then we go through the motions again... ad infinitum.
Both Europe and the British Parliamentary system are flawed and in need of repair or even replacement, but ditancing yourself from either is an act of madness.
Yesterday was about a number of otherwise unelectable politicians seeking election - Jonson is talking like the next Prime Minister and Farage is behaving as if serious people take him seriously - and the country is heading for hell in a handcart.

We need to think now of not will or won't happen, but what can happen. We have now voted away our right of protection from repressive legislation and that is frightening.   Do we really think it is a good idea to allow a parliament the power to reintroduce capital punishment - some may say that is a good thing, but is it worth the risk of a jury of decent people to find people like Huntly not guilty purely on the principle that killing is wrong, even if it is state sanctioned? Then what happens if a future, right wing government extends the scope for executions, say for 'enemies of the state'. It can happen, it has happened.

We are talking about 'fair controls of immigration'. We will not be bound by any treaties which means a future government could start a programme of deportations and interment of its 'undesirables'.

When people talk about regaining our freedom, what they do not realise is they have just surrenders our protections that are inherent in treaties that have being created through concensus and through our own involvement.

Those who are cheering on Junker & Co., will see exactly why the vote to Leave was the correct one.

Now according to the Treaty the mechanism agreed by all 28 member states covering any member state leaving is Article 50. This says that the member state wishing to leave the EU must formally inform the EU and then the process is put in train and that process takes two years in which negotiations take place to finalise the matter.

The UK has not formally given notice so at present we are still full members of the EU and we should be up until the process is completed - now tell me how Jean-Claude is doing obeying EU rules? Next weeks Council of Ministers is being held with 27 Heads of Government not 28.

Junker & Co can say whatever they want the timing of giving formal notice is up to the UK NOT the EU. As someone has already said one idea would be that if the EU are going to disobey their own rules (Which they do regularly as long as it suits either the Commission, Germany or France) then why should the UK pay into the EU's coffers.

Who would that be - nobody is "cheering him on, just pointing out what he has to do in his position.
Britain's leaving has placed the E.U. in a position of having to defend the rest of the member states.
It is the job of the commision to defend the Union from possible further damage and it the discretion of the president to decide how that should be done - his first priority is to the organisation itself and not defecting members.
Once again, Britain wants its cake having decided to eat it.
As it stands, Britain is a deeply divided state within itself standing to lose its Great Britain identity.
Northern Ireland voted stay, Scotland voted Stay only England opted to leave.
The elected Prime Minister has been forced by the situation to resign, the leader of the opposition faces a vote of no confidence, all due to the 'leave' vote.
Attempting to appease Britain as it now stands would be like inviting a warring family to use your spare room.
It's just been announced that six foreign ministers of the E.U. member states (not just Junker) have asked that Britain leave as soon as possible.

They can ask for whatever they want, the timing is, by Treaty, set by the UK.

"It's also been announced in Ireland that prices in the shops in the Border counties have been seriously effected by Britain leaving."

And that should be the concern of the UK how? Pretty certain that prices in the shops in Northern Ireland and in Great Britain have remained the same as they were on the 22nd June. Bit of profiteering by the latter-day "Gombeen Men" Jim?
