[Jezbollah]

This is awful :/

I think it's going to happen guys

I'm afraid you're roughly three and a half days late with that.

This is happening. What is being discussed is the first steps on how it'll be done.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Our country's parliament is a fucking joke.

 

[SuperSah]

HAHAAH

Asking Cameron to reconsider? Haha

edit: sad it's happening, my hopes are dashed

 

[StayDead]

It's going to happen.

Please no

 

[Audioboxer]

Holy shit, GTFO with all this Cameron brown nosing.

 

[Hazzuh]

Not sure what people expect from Cameron, he doesn't have the authority to make any significant decisions right now.

 

[Tregard]

Scottish independence seems likely, NI uniting with Ireland is very unlikely IMO and no chance of independence for London lol.

NI Unification will definitely gain a lot of traction now, I could see a referendum at some point in the next few years. The real problem NI has right now is our first minister and her party were in favour of Leave, and are now basically ignoring the fact the majority of their country voted Remain. It's infuriating, especially when you see what Sturgeon is doing.

Gaelic Union sounds fantastic though, sign me up.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Ooh, Salmond!!

but UK is the 5th largest economy in the world....

Not anymore

 

[Hasney]

I'm beginning to think it's really not going to happen, or it's in the EEA. Just fuck the country up to the point where they have no choice but to stay and just hope it works out.

 

[Zaph]

This was mostly obvious, but an extra twist of the knife:

 

[Steel]

I agree that it's important to have a general message and definitely parliament and the new government will want to determine what the general message should be in the coming months, but I definitely agree that a general message is wanted.

Perfect summary.

 

[TheFatOne]

That question was savage.

 

[Arials]

the public will be angered that this will not curb stop immigration.

I could see riots happening in a EEA scenario.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Christ Osborne looks like he's aged years

 

[mnz]

Why would the EU agree to that? It would give the UK massive advantage in the negotiations.

Well what he pretty much said was "for the time being we're in the EU and all the rules and laws apply and after that we'll have new deals in place" when asked about uncertainties for companies. Implying there won't be an inbetween.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Cameron thinks because the voting majority disagreed with his decision he should step down, but somehow thinks an unelected government would have more legitimacy?

 

[Audioboxer]

That question was savage.

If this mess is showing us anything it's that the SNP can be savage.

 

[Hasney]

Christ Osborne looks like he's aged years

His MS Excel license ran out this Friday just to really fuck everything up.

 

[ferrasvansen]

That question was savage.

Brutal, answer admitted Tory government to blame for forthcoming economic issues. Next election posters getting printed now.

 

[darkwing]

Cameron thinks because the voting majority disagreed with his decision he should step down, but somehow thinks an unelected government would have more legitimacy?

no one has the balls to invoke Article 50, I could see this dragging for months

 

[Ravensmash]

This really is a whole load of "we don't know how we're going to do what we're having to do".

 

[jufonuk]

Going to get a French passport bmir find out if I'm Irish descent

Wonder if EEA was given by EU as a carrot to leave and keep people from EU?

 

[Zaph]

Christ Osborne looks like he's aged years

Just had a text from his dealer, and coke's about to get a lot more expensive.

 

[Par Score]

Salmond: Is it your fault that the £ is in the toilet, or is it Boris's?

Cameron: It's the fucking idiots who elected me and voted leave. I never asked for this!

 

[jakonovski]

I can hear the EU sharpening the knives over this waffling and pretending the UK is shopping for a new dress.

 

[SuperSah]

Okay, so Cameron really wants nothing to do with Article 50.

But will it wait until the New Year?

 

[BahamutPT]

Haha now asking for article 50 only being triggered in 2017.

 

[ferrasvansen]

Haha now asking for article 50 only being triggered in 2017.

We might see it activated by 2020, might...

 

[Frankfurter]

This would be so funny, if it wouldn't be so sad :/

 

[Epsilon-delta]

I can see why Cameron is called 'Dodgy Dave.'

 

[Dorsal Axe]

Can't wait to see the EU response to the government delaying Article 50.

 

[TheFatOne]

If this mess is showing us anything it's that the SNP can be savage.

As US citizen it seems like they are the only adults right now. They hold pretty reasonable views. The shocking thing to me is that many Brits feel like Scotland should just follow them blindly. I just don't get it.

 

[call_kotaku]

HAHAHA

"We want access to the single market but no free movement and we don't want to pay for it"

If I understand this correctly it's just the UK's version of "build a wall and make the Mexicans pay for it", right?

 

[DerangedHermit]

What's the general message here, then?

¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Hazzuh]

Cameron thinks because the voting majority disagreed with his decision he should step down, but somehow thinks an unelected government would have more legitimacy?

As soon as there is a new tory leader they'll call an election, Cameron doesn't have the authority to say that though.

NI Unification will definitely gain a lot of traction now, I could see a referendum at some point in the next few years. The real problem NI has right now is our first minister and her party were in favour of Leave, and are now basically ignoring the fact the majority of their country voted Remain. It's infuriating, especially when you see what Sturgeon is doing.

Gaelic Union sounds fantastic though, sign me up.

Fair enough, I work with some people from NI who seem to think it's a nonstarter. I guess we'll see either way, I can't blame you for wanting to leave.

 

[D4Danger]

Okay, so Cameron really wants nothing to do with Article 50.

But will it wait until the New Year?

He basically confirmed it. Nothing until he leaves and then they are going to have to work out a plan before they start.

 

[BossDarkseid]

no one has the balls to invoke Article 50, I could see this dragging for months

Yeah...it feels like outwardly at least Cameron doesn't want a General Election (i mean obvs not for him) but I could imagine Labour and SNP etc heavily pushing for one and refusing to pass Article 50 until it, so whatever the government was, it was elected.

 

[SuperSah]

He dismissed the Q as to whether or not devolved governments can veto


lol

 

[Beefy]

It's going to be EEA.

 

[Dougald]

Every time Cameron says "next government", take a drink

 

[BahamutPT]

Watching this on Sky News, they have an FTSE 100 ticker at the top. It has fallen more than 50 points since the debate started.

 

[RedSparrows]

If I understand this correctly it's just the UK's version of "build a wall and make the Mexicans pay for it", right?

100%. But after a vote was held on whether we should build the wall in the first place, and the answer was no.

Sort of

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Fuck that question was savage

Had the criticism of anti-intellectuals, Boris and the single market argument all in one

 

[avaya]

Reductio ad absurdum of sovereignty. No control whatsoever or say whatsoever.

 

[Audioboxer]

Every time Cameron says "next government", take a drink

Bro, I don't want to end up in hospital tonight.

 

[TheFatOne]

Another savage question

 

[SuperSah]

So 'you must have free movement and access to markets'

leave am cry

 

[Xando]

That question got him

 

[jufonuk]

It's going to be EEA.

So I can travel to EU and live with my wife ? Who is French . Or do I need French passport honestly I believe eu have demanded we take EEA model so we shut up and go away

 

[RedSparrows]

Reductio ad absurdum of sovereignty. No control whatsoever or say whatsoever.

On the altar of British hubris.

This feels like the final nail in the coffin that is Declinism. The Empire ends here, and the rest of the world is laughing its ass off, as the delusion hits home.

I hope I'm wrong, but...
