Brexit. I wouldn't be so sure. 07:28 - Jun 28 with 38059 views | BigDaveMyCock | Only speculation but a few things have happened, in particular in the Conservative Party, that makes me think that the appetite for Brexit has reduced significantly. Cameron's decision not to invoke Article 50 immediately has thrown the leavers into turmoil as it is now down to one of them to do the ultimate. It will now be the responsibility of the new PM to invoke Articld 50, a move nobody intended, or wants, to make. IDS and Gove all noted by their absence and Boris looked pale as milk yesterday with the realisation that Merkel et al have said a firm no to negotiations prior to invoking Article 50. This means the future PM will have nothing to 'sell' to the country or the markets prior to invoking Article 50. They will not be able to have one piece of legislation or even negotiation in their hands re 50% of UK trade. It would be like pushing an economic nuclear bomb if a new PM was to invoke Article 50 in such a situation as market confidence would collapse and multinationals up sticks. This will be an even more difficult act to undertake if the UK is in recession, which even the leavers acknowledge may very well be the case. Indeed, Boris has come out attempting to ease fears by stating that the UK remains very much at the heart of Europe and nothing much will change with the ultimate irony being that if we are to negotiate access to the single market then the terms of that negotiations will be very much like what we have already. Merkel et al permitting. There are now rumours that top people in the Tories including some leavers and whips are sufficiently spooked enough to not back Boris or another leave candidate. Could be wrong but expect stalemate. EU will call UK bluff and UK will be unwilling to do the ultimate deed because they will not be able to get the deals they so desperately want. Fascinating times.

Brexit. I wouldn't be so sure. on 14:15 - Jul 6 by CamdenDale | It's not an excellent post. Neither was the one he was replying to. The remain crew (as was) aren't behaving themselves granted. But there's a reason for that - in short, there is no plan. Just nutty emotionality. 'Now we are free' - 'now we are six', I mean, it's just emotional bonkersness. |
I don't get those that voted to remain banging on so much about there being a lack of a Brexit plan. Who called this referendum anyway? Pretty sure it was Cameron's decision. Did he not plan for the eventuality that the people might just vote to leave? That the remainers blame Boris, Gove et al for the lack of a plan is a bit strange. They simply campaigned to leave (I know they had other motives but when were they told they would need to invoke the people's wishes themselves?). The leader of the government should have done his job and followed through on the wishes of the majority - which is the very reason for having a referendum in the first place. Instead he chose to resign having not got the result he favoured, it would seem. | | | |

That is so dumb my man. Such a ridiculous starting point. Just go boil your head. Hang on, we shouldn't have had a plan because Cameron didn't have one? | | | |

'Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner' or ' Any old Iron , any old iron'. I take it you're living in London, for that reason alone you should be eliminated from this discussion. It's grim up North, we haven't got a pit to piss in, now where did I put that Donkey Stone!! [Post edited 6 Jul 2016 15:07]

Brexit. I wouldn't be so sure. on 14:37 - Jul 6 by anotherbiffo | Ha ha - "Your post is bordering on treason. Hang your head in shame." - give your head a wobble pal, it's called free speech and it's part of our great democratic tradition - the tradition that the Rupert Murdochs, various quack right-wing commentators, a bunch of toffee-nosed wasters including Farage and Johnson and all of middle England's Victor Meldrews are all hell bent on destroying. As for hanging my head in shame, why should I? I'm as proud to be British as you - if not more so - and I'm damned if I'll stand quietly while it's all p@ssed away in one knee-jerk outpouring of unfocused angst and hurt. Your allusion to OAFC is apposite, however - clueless, leaderless, rudderless, and without a pot to p-ss in - and moreover, certainly heading for the rocks. I could be describing post-brexit Britain. At least we Biffos acknowledge the mess we're in. You say I should 'Fook off somewhere else', but when I look round this little Isle, from Berwick to Brighton (excluding London, of course) and see rutted roads, coppers dressed like bin-men, dilapidated council houses and dodgy boozers pinned with grimy and tattered George crosses, bullet-necked, tattoed builders spitting out of vans, obese girls waddling over broken pavements with prams, all the while texting, litter strewn hedges and vile, broken down caravans selling slimy tea and bacon butties, it makes me all the more determined to stay and fight for the right not to be sh@t on and lied to by the 'establishment', fight the jingoistic slogans that hide our cowardly, insanely regressive and isolationist withdrawal and fight the accompanying xenophobia. Yes, I'm a little bit unhappy with the referendum result. |
Well I work all over England and can only identify with your sad view of it when I'm in Oldham! Don't you see the glorious countryside and green and pleasant land which we are bloody lucky to live in? And don't you feel fortunate that you live in a country that gave you the chance to have a free, private vote at a ballot box*, plus the freedom of speech on here and elsewhere? * I know you didn't like the result! | |

It's not and never has been for many years a " private " vote. They can cross reference your polling card with your voting slip. They can tell who you vote for if need be. [Post edited 6 Jul 2016 17:52]

You kind of sum things up when you resort to cheap jibes about a town which is all of ... 6 miles distant to Rochdale. What chance diversity and harmony with the likes of you? Yes, I've seen the "green and pleasant land", but I've also seen the fracking, which is illegal in France and most EU countries. The first thing Britain will do post Europe is renege on environmental and humanitarian agreements. In reply to other posters, I'm not bitter and twisted - just furious and bemused. I accept the result of the referendum, because there is no going back, but it has to be one of the most, if not the most ludicrous and suicidal national ballots in the long history of modern humanity. Every SERIOUS journal, institution and organisation, in every field of endeavour on the face of this planet has shown reservations about brexit. And as far as world trade goes, know that at least 40 percent of British trade to the world OUTSIDE of Europe passes through the EU (the so-called 'Rotterdam effect', whereby we profit unfettered from the immense European container infra-structure). Never mind. In 10 years, we may have sorted a deal out (if we manage to borrow some trade negotiators). You couldn't make this sh+t up!. | | | |

Diversity is a crock and a cause of a lot problems imo. Integration is key, will it ever happen fully? A lot of good the EU has done regarding fracking then if it's not got a blanket ban, so what is your point? | | | |

One of the biggest criticisms to come out of the Chilcot Inquiry today was that the Blair and Bush administrations didn't have a plan. A concrete strategy for replacing the institutions they were doing away with. There was an overriding presumption that by getting rid of something they, rightly or wrongly, didn't like then everything would fall into place thereafter. We have, rightly or wrongly, voted to replace the EU as a sizeable institution that structures a very large percentage of both direct and, as you rightly point out, indirect trade. The scary thing is that we have no concrete plan as to what will replace this. Instead, just presumptions. Presumptions that an apparent new found freedom will lead to favourable trade agreements (some of them utterly fanciful). The warnings have been provided by the majority UK and foreign business leaders, politicians and economists. I hope to god they're wrong. [Post edited 6 Jul 2016 21:28]

Whooooah! way too much sense for one thread! I, too, hope we can pull a rabbit out of the hat. What's good for the UK is good for Europe and vice-versa. There are no winners and losers - everybody is in this together. | | | |
