He'll just pluck some conspiracy theory out of his arse and blame someone else. The lad is a complete and utter fucking idiot. Maybe he can do us all a favour and fuck off from the forum rather than just the thread.

 

Indeed.

Nearly 17 million people have voted to leave the EU. Over 1 million more people than the remain vote.

 

Be clear. 17 million people are not all ill-educated, racist, bigoted, misguided, panicked protest voters. They are people like you and me. This is democracy.

 

There will be an obvious and clear reaction to this result, but we need stability and unity to move forward from this position, not crowing from the victors or blame and anger from those who were not successful.

Means nothing now but Bristol voted 61.73% remain.

 

It does mate, as I stated earlier, the new Tory leader and his cronies now have a shiny new map of all the areas who voted to stay, expect cuts to local councils etc.

Fair enough, if they are all intelligent and informed they can take responsibility for the consequences if this goes badly wrong. Remember leave told us what is happening in the markets this morning wouldn't happen.

Nothing new that though really. 

 

The biggest council funding cuts happened in the North East, they know they aren't going to win the seats anyway so it makes no difference how much they fuck people over here.

Hardly surprising, the majority of wards/council districts with major Universities have voted for Remain.

Which again isn't surprising, as most students haven't really lived at all and tend to be left leaning (but not the poor left side (who voted leave), but generally the comfortable/rich left(who voted remain), and a good proportion of them, will with time become these racist bigots who have wrecked their future by leaving the EU.

 

As it is the natural progression for most peoples politics to become more conservative with age.

The UK still has to pay into the EU pots for the next two years while they prepare their exit, let that sink in whilst they are trying to sort out other deficits. People genuinely think that the poor, the NHS etc are going to be better off.

It was the same back in the Thatcher years, the NE was royally bummed.

Nice to see Mr Nando outing himself on this one.

I think my opinions are pretty well documented in my past posts and I don't think anyone who has read them, would think I'd be in favour of an organisation that costs us a huge sum of money and is presided over by a body that not one member of the general public has voted for.

 

Even if you disagree with the £350 million per week figure that we lose and go with the more conservative £140 million a week. That is still over £9 billion a year. That is over x9 what we spent on flood defences last year (annually storm and flood damage costs this country £1.1 billion according to the British National Insurer Association (or whatever its called) and nearly x3 what we spent on the police force last year. 

 

Why when council budgets have been slashed by up to 40% since 2010, should we be giving away a minimum of £9 billion a year?

 

Why when we have around 1 million unemployed people should we have free movement of people?

Just a shame the leave campaign are already backtracking on that imaginary 350 million being used for things like the NHS.

So when Boris, Gove and Duncan-Smith are running the show I wonder if they will look after the working class voters of the MIdlands and the North who delivered their Brexit vote?

I hope they hit them the hardest. I want to see them on the news huddled around oil drums and fighting over dead rats.

Some major histrionics going on among the youngsters in the office today, racists and old people have ruined our lives, our lives I tells ye! 

 

Brief period of punishment beatings from the EU and IMF then a year from now nobody will give a fuck.

This is what happens when we've had a global financial meltdown caused by the bankers and 6 years of Tory rule. The working classes have had their bollocks kicked on a repeated and perpetual basis to the point they just don't care anymore. Apathetic to mainstream party politics and galvanised under the notion of kicking back at the political and financial elite where it hurts them the most, their wallets.
