I personally think there should be a maximum age limit, for example people over the age of 70 can't vote.
Soon one Bison Dollar will be worth five British pounds and Bison didn't even have to kidnap their Queen.
It's simply another Tuesday for him.

he mentioned the "special relationship" in april and today
back then he also talked about trade agreements, no word on that today which is expected
I think people voting the opposite of what they feel because they think their vote doesn't really matter is a bug, not a feature of democracy.
Not that the outcome would be different, just that those people are idiots no matter what side they vote for.
Concerns about immigration, bureaucratic laws & regulation, and trade. There was also a nationalist patriotic vibe to the Brexit campaign due to the influence of UKIP (UK independence party), but don't tell any leave voter that because that's the same as calling them a racist and xenophobe and that's bullying.
Technically we can, but it's probably going to be a long and tiresome process and we'll probably get a worse deal before. Plus there's no chance it will happen anywhere close to soon, any negotiation to re-enter will be years away. Heck there might not even be an EU around in a few years.

I just saw Farag's interview from this morning. What kind of dense chimp is this guy?

He makes such a stupid impression. How could Britons believe this guy?
It says it on his bus..

Didn't see the April, thanks for the correction.
It still sounds like damage control and PR speak, but you can read it optimistically I guess. The UK is still fucked regardless.

Glad your not in power mate, Federal states of EU people showing their true dictatorial colours. Wow.
Even posts about crawling back . Fuck me, really.
With views like that I am glad we are leaving. Good luck.

Yes. This is however a process that takes some years.
Maybe in 2116 if there is still something called the European nations left.

Define "viable". It seems almost as if your rationale was mistaken since your currency is plummeting. At the same time, I'm curious to know as to why the UK is so against assimilating. I understand the viewpoint shared by other posters saying that it was pitched as a better way to help the UK's economy and that EU laws and rules were hindering small businesses, but I don't get the mindset posted above.

Which the UK tried to stop
75% of under 25 voters. If the turnout is as low as last year that doesn't mean shit.

Even more people just on BBC news not knowing why they voted leave.

I wonder what odds i'd get on Bet365 for Donald Trump failing to enter the white house and fight for a place as an MP in the "New Britain"?

One of the biggest fears resulting from Brexit will invariably come to fruition now:

lol how is any of that dictatorial? nobody has to be part of the EU or trade with them, and if you want access to their markets you're going to have to negotiate

Does the NHS get better funded now?

Again their own stupidity, they could have stayed at home or actually look for information. Democracy is a system that allows everyone to be hear and represented on equal terms where every vote counts the same. Shit isn't perfect but if you argue a but here or there then it is stops being a democracy and starts to be an aristocracy where you place a filter before allowing someone to vote, that be a test of information or whatever. No matter how stupid someone is, he should be allowed to vote and have his opinion hear in how their country should be represented.
What I find hilarious is that we will not be having this argument if Remain had won, funny how democracy is flawed if it doesn't fit the outcome certain people expect.
That's just their reading of what he Tweeted out earlier. He's talking about the special relationship we've always had, just like he did when he said the UK would be at the back of the queue for trade deals. That statement today did not mention trade even once, just re-affirming the special relationship.
Leave supporters are a bit clueless.
How is that dictatorial? Old and stupid people voted us out, so what obligation do they have to accommodate us?
Hasn't the currency not rallied since markets opened? It tanked on the initial result but after the BofE comments it went back up.
But don't you find it weird that what Leavers voted on were just what the UKIP wanted? Or Golden Dawn, Marie Le Pens, Donald Trump, Putin, Gert Wilders, etc.
Isn't that just a bit concerning for you?
LOL get fucked Cornwall.

That seems like a super misleading headline. Even in the April comments, Obama mentioned the special relationship between the US and UK. That's far different than the headline, which pretends that Obama is talking about creating a special trade deal going forward.

Um, this is the treatment for associated countries. That's what not being part of the union means. Which part of it is "dictatorial"?

Meeting's done, moving to Frankfurt by years end.
Not even pissed or angry any more, just resigned to the reality of the situation and looking at the few positives, it opens up the opportunity for me to let my house out and create an additional income, so that's nice and those of us who are moving will be helped to relocate, so it's not the end of the world.
Still, would have preferred to stay in the UK...

Google states that it it's the equivalent of $1.36, but I'm not sure if Google tracks currency in real-time. What was the lowest point it reached in relation to the USD?
I really don't understand how Labour supporters can still be whining about the "moderates" and "blairites" at this point instead of realising that incompetent Labour leadership is one of the things that made this referendum, and everything else the Tories have done over the past 6 years possible. At this point it's very possible that the Labour party will never win another general election ever again and people are still fighting a battle that has been over for years.
I liked Corbyn but I'm aware that he appeals to a tiny portion of the electorate that I just so happen to be a part of. We need someone that can unite the PLP, the rest of the party, and actually make some positive progress towards genuine social democracy in England. I don't see how anyone can think Corbyn is that man at this point.

Have you, um, ever been to Europe?
Very few countries in the EU have citizens who "behave or act" similarly. The EU isn't one big country. And most countries are subject various to vetoes and exceptions.
There is no depth or actual concrete reason to any of your arguments here. Just "I don't think the UK is very like "European countries" (what?) so we should leave"
Chuck all the money you want at the NHS it won't change a damn thing until you get rid of the greedy bastards at the head of it.
The NHS problems are deep-rooted in greed and it needs major reform.
It didn't sound like he backtracked at all.
