You can bang on about stats all night long. The FACT is the UK voted to leave. Why is that so hard for you to accept?

You think that democracy works by identifying the will of the majority and then everyone else "shutting up"? Deeerrrrpppppp no it works when people of differing opinions campaign for and try to convince others of their opinion until they do achieve a majority.

What you believe in is useless, stagnant mob rule

I will tell you what i find rude. People banging on doors offering pensioners a lift to the polling booths on the promise that they will vote remain. That to me is very rude.

To be expected, every financial expert worth their salt around the world were united in saying that Brexit was a terrible idea but noooo, they're all Nazis! They're all corrupt and whatever excuses Gove and his group of morons came up with to discredit what was common sense.

We're going to keep losing out like this if we aren't part of the single trade and if we are then immigration remains the same and so does everything else except we won't get a say in the EU any more but hey! We got to stick it to the man, right?

It's rather satisfying to watch the Brexit campaign continue to self destruct so quickly after their victory. Leaving won't help the NHS' funding, it won't change immigration and we're still going to have to dance to the EU's tune. What were meant to be the benefits of leaving again? There doesn't seem to be any.

How odd, you would rather they walked and possibly tripped or something.

They ask for the lifts most of the time and no one has any real idea of how they will really vote anyway as no one actually sees their ballot paper.

I think you are the one with the odd view of democracy, with respect.
Quite what giving people lifts to polling stations has to do with this thread is beyond me.

Is it because the 1000 jobs are in London that they are being so easily dismissed? Londoners have to eat..have rent/mortgages and bills the same as people beyond the Watford gap

As I posted in a thread t'other day (the one where someone thought that "scandinavia" wasn't in the EU ) the prime minister of Norway himself stated quite clearly that the reason his country is able to do well out of the EU is because they are told what's going through as EU legislation, and they piggyback it into their own laws so that they still mirror the status quo. He went on the say that "doing that wouldn't work for a country the size of the UK" (Norway has just 5 million).

But no, of course the UK "has da BIG chair now!!" and so we will be able to write our own rule book whilst dictating trading terms to the puny, terrified EU countries.

You couldn't make this stuff up.

Its a legal requirement that hsbc can't handle the euro if the uk are not part of an agreement to do so, which they obtained through membership of the EU, so hsbc will be moving that department to a country where they can. The same will apply to all other banks that handle that aspect in the uk.

It seems to me that the brexit voters didn't give a crap about consequences, because they were fed crap like experts don't know anything.

If you were only half as clever as you think you are. You are the biggest troll on this site.

Do not misrepresent what I said.

I will debate any aspect of the EU with you should you choose to refrain from posting meaningless and very infantile, 'clever clogs' psycho-babble and actually debate facts.

You are now becoming very tiresome - Grow up.

You've been nothing but immature and smug since the result kirk, I believe you're reaping what you've sown and becoming frustrated with it from the sounds of things and I also believe you've lost quite a bit of respect from quite a few members... But that would just be my observation. If you didn't want to be "trolled", perhaps you should have chosen to handle your "victory" with more dignity.

None of us can debate the facts on this one, let's face it. We're at this point all blundering around in the dark giving our best guesses. Remain supporters in despair and leave supporters in giddy excitement. That applies across the board, from Tibb members to Westminster. No one has a ****ing clue. "The facts" have taken a holiday.

I will leave it here because I do not want banning, but I totally refute that I have been smug or imature, and if I have lost any respect among members then let them tell me so and why, because your allegations are bull.

lol I said a while back that a lot of British people have an inflated sense of our own importance and still think we're this empire that'll do what the **** we want and that everyone will sing from our hymn sheet cause we're Great ****in Britain innit

We're now about to find out the very opposite is true, and I am quite looking forward to it

(but hey, maybe I'll be wrong - will be happy to be proven so!)

That's the thing isn't it... It feels like there's this idea floating around that there will be some further victory for the leave voters when everything goes amazingly and they get to say "haha told you so!"...

I would be absolutely ****ing ecstatic to be proven wrong on this one. I'd sing it from the rooftops! I just really don't think it's going to go that way... And the pleasure I'll take in my own "told you it was going to fall apart" moment will be very, very limited.

Is that not loss to revenue? What about families?
There have also been cases where the EU funded a company's movement out of the UK to another country in the past. Job's were lost there too.

..it's inevitable as London has been a financial capital of Europe and has now voted out of Europe...it's too early for the domino effect though and sadly, as with all recessions..it will be the very vulnerable and weak that are most effected....

I happily owned immaturity and I'll even admit to (over?)confidence and I can be self-important and even mocking.

I am not smug, sneering or snide, tyvm.
