They're probably standing outside the local Indian Takeaway wondering why it's shut and the owners are cowering under a table.

 

And that's the trouble with countless racists in this nation...

 

It's not the immigrants at the local chippy or in the office, it's all the other immigrants that are the problem. They really believe it.

It's mental over 17 million people voted to destabilise the United Kingdom and Europe without an exit strategy.

 

Some of these loons have been going on about a referendum for 20 years. You would think they would be prepared.

 

They finally get what they want and they are stalling for time.

 

Brexit goons:- When we get independence day we take control.

 

EU chiefs:- OK the British people have made their choice you can leave, present your claim.

 

Brexit goons:- No no we don't want to leave just yet.

The fact is that the EU imports far more to the uk than we export to them. Fresh produce from Spain and France as well as wine from France i cpuld go on.

 

The EU countrues are not going to lose our business.

 

Likewise it is also possible and likely that other countries will vote the leave the EU. This will strenghten the UK's current position.

 

I also cant help but think that if being in the EU was really that important then we would never have been able to vote or at least it would have been rigged and put to bed.

If this is the UK's strategy - a game of chicken with a trading partner that takes a far larger proportion of it's exports than the UK takes of the EU's, and hoping country or countries unknown might show solidarity for reasons unknown, which would also involve unpicking themselves from the euro - then this is going to get real nasty, real quick.

Not saying it is just saying.

 

Just realised though that more than likely we are leaving the EU but remaining part of the common market which will mean that we will have to allow the free movement of people. I kniw that very few people claim benefits but does this rule entitle them to benegits in the uk?

 

 

I know how generally how it differs from full eu membership but how exactly.

 

I dont think we are going to go it alone so i dont know why people are getting so hysterical about it.

I so wish the reporter there had found his balls and just asked the first bloke the question that you could clearly see come to his lips at least twice, 'What the actual fuck are you talking about you massive mental fucking spacker?'

 

He redeemed himself a little with his almost Chris Morris-like observation of 'a little tear there' when interviewing mong #2 but it wasn't enough, he needed to laugh in her face as well.

 

Mong #3 actually seemed to be somewhat clued up since he was able to name some EU officials, although I admit it's all relative; Joey Essex would have come across with the gravitas of Stephen Hawking after the first two.  Then he slipped up and reverted to type with his 'they just spent £13m on art, says it all doesn't it'.  Yeah, stupid fucking culture eh, who needs all that shite.

 

We'd do better deporting all the cunts like that and getting some more Poles in.

It's pure opportunism. He wrote two articles for the Telegraph, one Remain and one Leave, then chose which one to run with that morning.

 

 

Exactly.  The list of things Boris Johnson gives a fuck about is as follows:

 

1. Boris Johnson.

It had never occurred to me that the many people I had seen with no interest in politics, no knowledge of any of the issues or ramifications and no thought beyond "getting rid of the fucking Muslims" would actually go out and vote. I went to bed last night confident we'd stay and was shocked when I saw the result in the morning.

I voted brexit. Not for the reason that were spewed by Farage, Gove or Johnson. They are a bunch of right wing lowlife scumbags.

 

Nor for reasons of immigration which I am fully supportive of. I am 1/4 English, 1/2 Irish and 1/4 Polish.

 

For me the EU has always been a bankers club. A club to make capitalism more efficient and effective. Thus in essence making exploitation and abuse more efficient and hence brutal. It is not about workers rights nor does the EU truly have a "social dimension." It is about making it easier for big business to exploit people on a continental stage.

 

If you wanted a true European community you would need a minimum wage set across the continent based upon the highest paying economies (UK, Germany) and enforced on all. The same for fulsome welfare rights and free socialised medicine for all. Only this was could you elevate and unite the whole continent. Would it be hugely expensive? Damn right but worth it. Better to spend money on this than pointless arms initiatives, subsidising shit French farming, or the bailouts and debt which only benefits big money. 

 

If you do not do this then the free movement of labour is about the richer west exploiting the poorer east and south of Europe. The western economies need cheap labour from the east which is often horribly exploited and paid beneath minimum wage. There is a reason you can but punnets of strawberries from the supermarkets for £2, The same reason you can buy jeans for £5 or £10 from some supermakets.  Some poor fucker is being economically forced to work and live in misery so the west can buy cheap crap that it does not need. This exploitation of cheap labour from the east and south also undermines the workforce in the west and makes them feel scared and willing to accept zero hours contracts etc. The abuse of labour from the East has never been addressed by the west because it needs it to keep our economies propped up.

 

So whilst we might have some short term pain and vile right wing tory government in the short term for me it was better than persisting with an even more malicious and insidious imposition of the most exploitative form of capitalism on a continental scale.

 

Five years of austerity Tory's get a majority.

This isn't short term.

Anyone been watching Channel 4 news? Im on the +1 channel as I've just got back in from a decent curry. The European leaders and politicians are pissed. Could be posturing but there's a real lack of appetite to give us any leeway.

 

 

You know nothing Jon Snow.

The result is not surprising or shocking. It's been a while since "Forces" behind the scenes have mobilised to get the UK out of the eu, as part of a new geostrategy for the 21st century UK.

 

Cameron has always been just a puppet, his last task was to intentionally drive the "Remain" campaign to failure, hence the Geldoff shite and the overall fear fiascos which were destined to backfire, while Corbyn and the rest appeared incompetent to react. The "Forces" behind the scenes were preparing Johnson-May (lovely tits) for the New Age, while Farage played the role of the" useful idiot" and will be soon finished.

 

Ultimately the UK will recover and continue to prosper under a new reformed strategy.

 

As for Scotland I said it a few pages back that they can't have independence when they run a £15bn annual deficit. It is simply impossible. They will go bankrupt in two months and no one will lend them money to service their debt and they are not going to cut their deficit without a Social Massacre.

I didn't even want to read that because I knew she would nail it and I knew it would depress me.  And I was right.

 

Before the result was even formally declared, Farage had rubbished the idea of the extra £350m for the NHS as a “mistake”, while the MEP Dan Hannan had talked down the idea of a reduction in immigration. What a magical mystery tour it will be for people, then, to discover what it was in fact they were actually voting for.
