will the referendum nightmare ever end?
There's nothing that gets on my nerves quite like "Hey, i voted to inflict damage to <group of people that aren't like me>, but YOU CAN'T JUDGE ME FOR THAT"
Yeah, i sure can. By god and the queen, i fucking will. Voting (and not voting) has real consequences, and it's amazing how a lot of people pretend it doesn't.
Wow, that's gold.

Oh, can we have some delicious irony please. Would love to see #Leave take the British government to an EU court for not handling Brexit correctly...

Just looked at the money markets:
We need Pep to call the markets, sort out their confidence.
Quantifying across objects doesn't require them to actually exist.

So it turns out Lily Allen (singer) is for Brexit.
What a complete raging tosser.
What a complete raging tosser.
I'm getting flashes of 2008...FTSE 250 tanking like hell, homebuilders getting pounded by the pound in realtime.
My cousin has actually used this phrase on Facebook when talking about the Referendum. When asked what would make Britain great again, he went off on a jumbled little diatribe about the EU holding us back and actually evoked the £320 million figure that has been debunked.
When I told him the truth about the £320 million (which he didn't acknowledge) and asked again how the EU were holding us back, and exactly HOW Britain would be great again, he posted a status from his father in law decrying Leave voters being called racists, and talked about Britain being open for business again.
I didn't touch the race issue, but I told him that 11,000 steel workers were likely now out of work and without a pension (TATA steel), 14,000+ automobile manufacturers/engineers would likely have their jobs moved (Ford/Toyota), financial sector jobs have already gone (HSBC), civil servants working in UK-based EU-related jobs would likely be laid off, and his own wing of the military (the RAF) could likely see cuts over not being obligated to EU missions such as aerial Police sweeps over the Baltic.
Then he stopped replying.
Maybe its brilliant - the Banks and Governments wait till October, costs of everything go through the roof due to instability, it starts to absolutely crucify the British Public and we absolutely start begging them to dismiss any thought of leaving or invoking Article 50 in order to stabilise us.
Who'd have thought that the worthless waster brother she sang about would be the more popular one?
No general retailers - clothing primarily.
Food retailers generally try to wear the cost unless they think it will be sustained. That's why sell side are talking 3-4weeks. Some say as soon as next month expect grocery price rises.
He's just the sort of person who is utterly out of touch with how ordinary people live. I know people say that about every politician but Lewtin is just laughable. He's the sort of person who tried to thousands of pounds from the government in order to fix his tennis court.
If people voted Leave because they want the government to be more in touch with them then he isn't the first person I'd turn to basically.
She was for in but said out is exciting now it's happened. Just a bit dim.
She once advocated anal sex as birth control. She was cool! What happened?

Exciting as economy hits a brick wall, what a moron.
Definitely one of these, if not only for making me laugh for the first time at "the cake is a lie".
They won't need a bailout. They have wholesale funding from the BoE. ECB has also offered to fund them, the fucking irony is hilarious.
We are going to tank the economy though. That much is crystal clear at this point.

I still cant get over what has happened. Its fucking ridiculous. I got into a huge argument with my stepdad over this (he voted leave, I voted remain) and when I told him everything that's happening right now because of this and the lies the leave campaign told he didn't know what to say.
I feel like I need to blow off some steam so I'm going to blast some music and workout like I've never worked out before.

Triggering of article 50 is not remotely on the cards either.
Butbutbut we have our Britain back! If 'our' means Nigel Farage's and Britain First's, and if 'Britain' means tracts of the most deprived bits of England and what remains of Wales, and if 'back' means back to the tribal, fractured way it was before the Alfred the Great (Christ, some of these old people have fuckin' long memories ...)
Yaaaaaaaaaay.

Yeah, you can't just re-run the referendum, as much as I wish you could.
My best hope is a snap election with a pro EU opposition.

Not quite but he did dump confidential and personal letters in public bin(s). Either way, a literal moron.

Well if there's no going back, he should trigger it. Go on Dave, make it your legacy.
That leaves with us hoping they call a GE pre-Article 50 and Parties campaign on the stances of Remain/Leave
Please. We can't leave this way. It is not decisive

She seems more upset about all the postponing about invoking article 50

How would parties even do that? A third of Tory voters went with Remain, a third of Labour voters went with Leave. Trying to campaign purely on European lines would destroy both parties completely. I don't think any leader for either party would have the authority to enforce that.

They might as the Tory polling numbers are going up since Cameron quit.
And elected representatives are supposed to act in the interests of the people not necessarily the opinions of the people or the interests of themselves and their party, Cameron gambled the country for the sake of his party and Johnson for himself. The court may be better than Cameron and Johnson, but you can bet they'll act in the EU's interest.
I'm going to be honest with you now and say your understanding of this situation is like that of a child. If you are child sorry for the hostility, if not your local library will have several books that can explain this to you.
