See John just saying it isnt enough. If there are holes…point them out. Your form is to go quiet when asked a direct question or try some pithy and funny retort….which is a little transparent. I made 4 specific points with one listed as a ‘likely’ but based on the comments of what the leader of the Leave campaign is published as doing.
Farage has reneged on the promise that I pictured earlier behind Boris…that is simple fact and you cant wriggle out of it. The SNP has started the legislative process to field a second referendum in Scotland as a direct result of Brexit…again Sturgeon’s statements are clear and undeniable.
I take Bruce’s point that, thanks to Carney, an economic recovery of sorts has swung in…but there’s no evading the point that we’re still down on where we were prior to the result. If we do have to fall-back on Carneys resources thats money we’ll need to cover. So you cannot honestly say that there has been no economic upheaval as a result of the vote. We’ve still got all the shocks to come from a Scottish secession and as a result of any negative developments during the exit negotiations. None of those will be positive for us.
Is there an ‘IF’ on the negotiations for EEA yes….but there is also precedent. Which is a lot more than you are basing your views on isnt it John.
… than the propaganda and misinformation of the Remain lobby?
Moggy
In fairness Moggy the Remain lobby haven’t been far off to date:
1, Remain calls foul on the £350mn EU-money-to-the-NHS claim.
– Accurate. Validated by Farage backtracking.
2, Remain says that an EU exit could disrupt the integrity of the UK.
– Accurate. SNP stating that a 2nd Scottish referendum is ‘very likely’
3, Remain say that an EU exit would rock the economy severely.
– Accurate. Huge disruption in markets steadied only by £250bn of liquidity guarantees from Mark Carney.
4, Remain say the Leaves migration and sovereignty claims are a nonsense
– Likely. Brexit EU relationship supposedly being modelled after Norway. Norway is in Schengen. Hard to see how we refuse the same terms.
Its not that far off the mark in all honesty is it?

Used you like a handful of Kleenex and you’re still proud of it! :highly_amused:
Ahh John…no need for the sarcasm….its clear that you’ve not got any answers to real questions.
.Small comfort to the hundreds of innocent families in this country deeply affected by matters over which they had no control but, who eventually triumphed by their collective dismissal of our membership of the dictatorial and grossly undemocratic EU.
…and no comfort whatsoever to the thousands of families who will be facing financial hardship as the price of peace of mind for the few hundred you mention. Sure its worth it though.
No mention of the irony that the Bank of England, with Mark Carney at its head…stupidly villified as a government stooge through the campaign, has stepped in to shore up the economy against the worst effects of the out vote?.
Wonder what finding that £250bn will cost us down the track….ironic that repairing the damage from the Leave vote will cost us an amount about equal to 25yrs of our net EU contributions!?. Still we can stop the thousands of Lithuanian rapists storming ashore to rape and pillage now. So thats all worth it…right John?.
Oh and the ECJ doesnt have primacy on national law….only EU law.
Alan,
Herr Junker is showing his true colours. Trying to bully the UK into leaving the EU without delay.
17 million people have just chosen to tell europe to fk off fully aware that it will wreck their own economy in the process. Are you surprised they want rid of us?. We’re a laughing stock now internationally Alan isnt this obvious?

Your naivety is most touching. So, why do you think they are here despite an unfavourable regulatory regime ? For years the EU have been intent on squeezing the financial life out of the City. With the benefit of favourable working conditions and practices, isn’t it more likely that the banking ‘world and his wife’ will beat a path to Theadneedle St. ?
This is the example of the real unstated question that is on a lot of lips in my immediate circle of friends and colleagues anyway…are there really 17 million adults in Britain who are that stupid?.
Is that a more worrying problem than the EU and the economy at this point?. What happens if these people breed?. Can anything be done to prevent that kind of timebomb in the English gene pool?.
I think we have to get to a point where kids of school-leaving age have to be shown the film Idiocracy as a warning. Time magazine have already covered the converging trajectories of realtime and movie script – http://time.com/4327424/idiocracy/
C’mon Bruce you can do better than that. Transient currency ‘highs’ and ‘lows’ do not impinge upon a countries financial ranking!
Losing our AAA status is a bit of a dent though. Has the low transitioned back into a high on the currency market yet John….if it doesnt its called something else you know?
If the failed and broken EU pipedream goes Tango Uniform, which is looking increasingly likely, there will be no EU, and therefore no Schengen.
So, to make this disaster manageable, all that has to happen is that the other 27 nations in the EU have to disintegrate. That is honestly your position Paul?.
Paul,
Nice of you to start ramping up the blame, and trying to make those that voted to keep mine, your’s, and every other UK citizens parliamentary sovereignty safe for the future.
Our sovereignty is more at threat now than it was yesterday!. Yesterday the chances of us joining Schengen were nil. Today….seeing what actually really genuinely happened in Switzerland, Norway and Iceland we might find ourselves having to join it to keep our trading arrangement with our former partners.
So we have gone from nil chance of having to accept free movement to a 50/50 chance of having to accept it. Thats your new sovereignty package lad. Enjoy!
As seen through a crystal ball, made by the ‘Experts’, or was it from the ‘Smart’ people!
Paul,
What crystal ball is required?. Now the news is saying that £100bn has been wiped off the value of the FTSE 100 companies and Farage has already reneged on one of the main promises Leave made to re-invest money ‘saved’ from Europe.
Enjoy your Brexit!
I think there will be a large number of people around the UK and Europe choking on their ‘Brexit’ (sorry, Breakfast), this morning!
Cheers
Paul
Yep. With the pound already at its lowest level for 30yrs we will see a lot of smart people very nervous this morning.
Now we get to see how long it takes for the shockwave of this one to die down.
Enjoy your day though. I’ve a feeling we’ll all be paying for it for a long time to come.
Quite.
Got to share this……
http://newsthump.com/2016/06/23/massive-eu-referendum-conspiracy-foiled-after-voter-uses-a-pen/
‘this is Harold Wilson all over again’ I’m actually crying laughing typing this…..
Junk whatever Norway did WASNT up to Norway and the scare stories DID come true….thats what has just been shown to you. They chose not to join the EU and they are STILL having to accept more migrants than we are despite the fact we are IN and they are OUT. Plus despite the fact that they are OUT and that they have no power whatsoever to set or affect policy in the EU they STILL PAY IN to the tune of £77 for every £100 that we do.
The Leave campaign is fantasy…dont fall for it.
Bend over and brace yourself then John 🙂
I agree that we are stuffed no matter which way the vote goes BTW
Happy that theres finally a point that we can reach agreement on!. I’d rather be well off and screwed than poor and screwed though!. Some sense of comfort to cling on to!
Vote to Leave today, remember all the problems, the past outcries, demands for extra money for bail outs and contributions our governments just roll over and pay, and ludicrous regulations, food mountains etc etc etc. The Euro failure, the suffering people in Greece locked into a failed currency.
The reasons churned out by Remain, loss of money, jobs, refusal to trade by the EU, were the same used in Norway in their vote to join which they rejected.
don’t fall for the nonsense churned out, there is no future reform, just a green light to Brussels to do what it wants, there will be no other chance to do this again.
Norway are in Schengen. We aren’t.
Thats the whole point of this. Leave offers a fantasy…the truth is a bit different.
Vote Remain.
I think your problem is you’re confusing EU ‘trading rules’ with EU imposed laws – i.e. laws that are made directly by the EU
There is no difference in end result Paul –
‘Join Schengen or forget trading with the EU’
Is that a trading rule or an EU imposed law?. Does it matter for a split second what its called when the net effect is a country, outside of the EU, having to take on the burden of Free movement if it wants to trade?.
