OT. The futures Bright, the Futures Brexit!!!

Honestly Tricky...with all due respect if you do not recognise that the value of the pound has 'collapsed' since the Brexit vote then you are in total denial and are not really worth arguing with. Note you passed on the break up of the U.K. and as for talk of Turkey/Albania//Ukraine joining...who is indulging in 'Project Fear' now?

Didn't work there OTR...just had many unfortunate dealings with them.

F***itybye bojo and fromage. pob is next to die.

Never heard of 'Pob'...had to look it up...brilliant, spot on even without the glasses. Think you're right too...over for the Gover tomorrow I suspect.
That'll be all three of the sneaky, treacherous b******s gone soon thank God, although I gather Farage is taking over Katie Hopkins radio show on LBC. What a station that must be...maybe it stands for Lying Broadcasting *****.

Didn't pass on the break up at all really. It's a non talk about point, seeing as the only people whinging about it are Salmond and Frying pan face.

Seeing as the SNP's sole existence is based on an independent Scotland, do you really believe that us leaving the EU is the root cause of it?
No way will Scotland get anything from the EU, because they can't. As a member of the UK- they have to leave.
Therefore, they have to -
1. Become independent
2. Get a new monetary system
3. Apply to the EU for membership. Hope everyone agrees they can come in. Spain has already said no.
All this will take years and years.
So, your worried now about us breaking away as whole state. What chances do you give Scotland? Be another Greece in 10 years. The Jocks aint that stupid.

Now Northern Ireland on paper could become whole with Ireland.
1. They would have to sever ties with us. Seeing how dependent they are on the UK it's doubtful
2. Ireland are not exactly rich are they? How would they fund this? Also we are Irelands biggest trading partner and so many of their citizens are here, it could be a disaster for them. The only happy ones are the Republicans.

But again, I'll say it. It's democracy. If they want to go let them. England subsidises both countries as it is. What makes you think it's better for them?

i thinks rats with awks as deputy prime minister is a great pairing.

[southernram22]

still not over it then ramanag i see never perhaps two out of three or toss a coin. perhaps pop round to all 17 million of us who said leave and why is juncker still mouthing off has he not got it that he and his cronies have one less country to stick nones in or try to boss around.

[ramAnag]

'Over it...'! It's not a last minute own goal southern...this really matters. Besides I'm not convinced certain others may find they have rather more to get over before the fat lass sings. Not gone terribly well for the 'Three Brexiteers' since has it?

[southernram22]

still out ramaag whatever you say no government would risk anarchy ramanag and thats what you are advocating . if teresa may wins she has stated no second poll ?

[southernram22]

im sure it matters to 17 million winners as well but then they are not the ones being sore losers or whining it makes no matter what you say you have a basic choice get over it or leave and move to the beloved home land ?

Beloved home land? What's that meant to mean? You do realise 17m is nothing like half the electorate, the referendum is 'advisory' not binding and your very own Mr. Farage always said he'd challenge the result if it was anything like 52-48 in favour of Remain? What's good for the goose...southern.

So if before we actually leave, (and most Brexit leaders appear to be in no hurry to press the button) if it becomes clear that to go down that route would mean economic melt down for the UK you I presume would still do that, whereas the elected government actually have to consider whats is in their judgement is in the best interests of the country and could and IMO should not proceed.

Incidnetally we are not sore losers or whiners, we are still waiting for the big plan that those who were advocating leave have up their sleeves, it must be bloody good seeing as two of the those led the out campaign have mysteriously left quickly stage right!

[southernram22]

certainly sounds like your a sore loser swale my opinion

[southernram22]

so lets put this in perspective you give the electorate the vote by your own choice you lose poll then cry foul and want a rerun . so anther vote is done and you win by a small margin then the exit side say we want a rerun. ? it sounds like that swale if i am not mistaken so your answer is tell the 17 million they are all stupid and we dont like it and were going to ignore your views anyway . i will come back to you on this when strikes and riots take place swale. like it or leave it were out.

[ramAnag]

Or in another perspective southern. A referendum is announced, which no one asked for, over our continued membership of the EU. The debate gets 'hijacked' by people who want to make a protest vote against immigration and are misled by a great big false promise which appears all over our TV's each day meaning that 17.5m of our 43m electorate vote 'Leave'. On the basis of this the value of the pound slumps, the BoE has to step in, Scotland and Northern Ireland threaten to leave the UK, we become European outcasts, hate crime, which has already accounted for the murder of a pro-Remain MP, rises, the PM resigns, the opposition turns on itself, the leading 'Leave' campaigner quits - after making a particularly embarrassing speech, and the two other principle campaigners fall our and seek to end each other's political careers. Sounds a bit like anarchy already to me and I'd still like to know what the 'beloved home land' that you suggest I move to means.

[AngryRam]

No one ask for?

[swaledale]

The BoE statements today don't look good time to batten down the hatches, the next decade is going to be rough.

I see Research projects with Uk universities are being axed by the Eu as the long term future is uncertain. So another blow to both Uk as premier research country, but also to the income earned both through the University sector and industry, opportunities that will now migrate to an Eu country - the ramifications of Brexit have yet to be fully realised, whilst those fabled opportunities seem to be sparse!
