Anyone hear David Starkey on Radio 4 this morning?
Apparently Farage is a modern day Henry the VIII (in a good way), Nick Clegg should be quartered for treason and Brexit could be the start of the new British Empire.
😆
Lets hope Royal Mail keep up their record for losing letters!!
Well this went please sbob, as the cult of Brexit demands complete supplication to is wondrous isolationism
And certainly not critical analysis

Petty, small-minded, xenophobic, foreigner-hating, backward looking, little-Englander nastinessI have never felt so ashamed, embarrassed and saddened to be British. And angry. Really, really ****ing angry!!!
Agreed
What search engine did you use to find those kimbers?? If they weren't the very first hit you found then they don't count apparently. 😉
"* you you evil * bitch."
...and she's a remainer...
She isn't a remainer or a leaver. She's a cynical opportunist who'll do whatever it takes to further herself, and **** everyone else. Typical Tory really.
Richard Dyson, one of the high profile Brexiteers (who has alot of his manufacturing made abroad and outside of the EU so a bit disingenuous really) is now appealing to Theresa May to not apply immigration limits to young European engineers so he can employ them in his business.
he's been wingeing like a bitch for years that government weren't doing enough to encourage manufacturing in this country. now the pound's on it's arse due to this government's direction of travel i am sure he'll be putting his money where his mouth is, expressing his gratitude, and providing well paid jobs to people in this country, rather than in his malaysia facilities. 🙄
"She isn't a remainer or a leaver"
She's a remainer.
Is that White Cliffs pic a photoshop or did they really do it?
Lots of anger here, and I share it.
Anger does not bode well for our future.
Well said Binners. A successful appeal to the lowest common denominator by a pack of absolute shithouses for which we all will bear the consequences.
I just heard a Welsh bloke on the radio who voted to leave blame Europe for crime and drug issues in Maesteg. WTF he then followed it up by saying that it was Carwyn Jones and Plaid who take all the money and spend it on Cardiff Bay.
I don't know how you discuss the truth with someone who is so misinformed.

Which of course is "right", but ....
I'm stuck on this, what do we do?

"what do we do?"
Never have referendums. Stick to representative democracy where you vote for people, who are responsible for policy rather than policy itself.
OOB - we've disagreed previously but that is spot on
Lets all take a moment to reflect on the moron who's monumental arrogance delivered us here. Through an act of ill-conceived, short-sighted and short term political opportunism that went horribly wrong

Anyone heard from him of late? No. Because like the other self-serving morons presently at the helm, they just saunter away, totally unaffected, from the car crashes they cause, leaving the little people to pick up the pieces
Why is the bill taking us out called the 'Great' Repeal Bill? That makes it implicit that its something wonderful and I imagine in some quarters evokes stirrings to the strains of 'Land of Hope and Glory'.
Unless of course it means its simply very significant. 'Significant' Repeal Bill isn't quite as catchy I guess.
Binners + 48million.
The Morons have taken over.

LOL at Kimbers. Find it shocking to believe those 'Sun' projections are for real.
Bring back Great Britain.
Remember the London Olympics?
Feeling proud to be part of a welcoming, competitive, country?
I'm ashamed of the path we are going down.
"Bring back Great Britain.

Are non-EU countries unwelcoming?
Can't say I've ever found that.
Anyone heard from him of late?
He is in the USA doing a speaking tour.
There are claims though he is being lined up for the Nato Secretary General.
I look forward to him arranging a referendum around membership of it.
Why is the bill taking us out called the 'Great' Repeal Bill?
Its taken from the representation of the people act 1832 aka the Great Reform Act to get the hope and glory singers singing away.
igm - MemberI've asked Brexies on here to tell us what they've been doing. The answer has been silence. Nothing. The Brexies are sat on their fat lazy behinds I think.
You asked me directly but then I voted to remain.
What job did you give up to embark on your current crusade?

outofbreath - MemberAre non-EU countries unwelcoming?

Who said that? I was saying that I feel we are no longer as welcoming as we were, and that this referendum and its aftermath are key to that. I feel a loss in pride for my country… "feelings" and "national pride" are important to those of us against what is happening now, it is not only of importance to people who want us to leave all the Europeon institutions and agreements.
and so it begins...
A monumental **** up, that is all this is.

You'll need to pick the fourteenth whist pretending not to notice the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh to be credible.

😀 How's the blame game going today peeps?
I'm so angry, I could crush a grape. 😳 ashamed and embarrassed indeed.
Blame game? No point playing a game when you know before the start who's going to win.
So today we become the nightmare neighbours from hell who leave junk in their garden and let their dogs shit on the pavements. Well done all.

Sure thing Dazh, whatever you say.. sounds a little bit like a Daily Mail/Farage/Trump headline doughnut, oh well if you can't beat'em, join'em.
I'm gonna think about using caps lock in a frickin minute..aaarrrgghhh!
Another important step today towards a brighter and more prosperous future.
Cameron a believer in democracy, well if the Indy Ref had been a Yes he'd have been hailed as a hero North of the Border.
Finally we where given a direct say in our future and we rejected all the corruption and idiocy of the European Union superstate project

Join in and wave your little flags 😆
We're all happy and united now, apparently.
What a crock.
Day off, it's pissing it down, fits the mood completely.
Do something positive today to make yourself better.
I took an old Buddleia to the dump.
Take that Brexiters.
It was nice while it lasted. But then the freedom to have a more desperate labour pool, a dimmer future for our kids, and an outright neutering of our diplomatic soft power was too good an opportunity to pass up, I suppose.
What a silly island.
sbob - MemberI voted to remain, you 'tard.
Classy
Sums it all up really.
You OK Huns ?

@jambalaya why do you think your POV is in such a minority here yet managed to secure an (albeit tiny) majority in the referendum? Serious question.

For all that I think he's a peasant crushing born to rule upper class Tory turd, I'll give him his due for that referendum. Maybe not a hero though. 🙂

Here is why... repeated across the [b]southern[/b] UK
Fixed it.
100% of the council areas in Scotland were a Remain vote.
Here is why... repeated across the UK
Old people ignorant of the consequences of their vote, who expect the steelworks to come back?
They might come back. If our currency and living standards fall low enough, menial labour in the UK will become competitive again.
"It suggests the model for the future could be a form of associate membership, currently enjoyed by Ukraine. "
In 10 years time, as we race to the bottom, on the Chinese mountain biking website "Ringletrack" they'll be discussing whether those cheap look a like British frames are any good.

I think some of the doom and gloom is unwarranted though. It is all predicated on nothing changing.
There won't be an unlimited supply of cheap labour, so employers may find their hoped for race to the bottom with wages doesn't happen.
We are going to have to increase the number of skilled professionals by providing training here. No longer will we be able to strip mine poorer countries for them.
It will probably be very like the aftermath of a war. There will be an initial period where people will adjust, survive, and get used to England's new status as Trump's poodle.
Molgrips is right if the £ achieves parity with the € and the $ and the Tories keep minimum wage/benefits static then 3 years down the line we have halved our labour cost base in real terms, mmmm make I should start looking for a sweat shop to purchase.
"does not provide a single major opportunity to improve the UK economy in the long term"
So if anyone voted leave to try to slow urbanisation/growth they made the right call?

Or companies move operations to countries where they can more reliably get the staff they need.
"There won't be an unlimited supply of cheap labour,"
There will.
Importing workers isn't going away.
The one thing this lot most definitely won't be doing is reducing the supply of cheap labour that their paymasters demand.
As this becomes glaringly apparent over the next couple of years, there are going to a lot of very unhappy racists!
there are going to a lot of very unhappy racists!
That might be the only good thing to come out of Brexit.
Maybe we should cosy up to our non-EU neighbour Norway. Still, what they want with a bunch of knuckle draggers?

Did they not already threaten to veto UK joining EEA?
Veto was on a large country joining EFTA, which makes sense given it is only small countries now. If we were to be part of EEA, but not in EU, we'd need a new way of doing so. No way back into EFTA realistically. Scotland on the other hand would be a very good fit with EFTA memership.
"there are going to a lot of very unhappy racists!"
Why would a racist be unhappy at the continuation of a system that gives overwhelming priority to European Immigrants at the expense of people from different races?
Which system is that?
Most migrants into the UK are from non-EU countries, despite the UK being surrounded by EU countries.

Starkexit please.
We are going to have to increase the number of skilled professionals by providing training here. No longer will we be able to strip mine poorer countries for them.
Where are the workers coming from? The UK currently has c5% unemployment, technology can replace some jobs, but, you can't make anyone into a brain surgeon, training is not the only issue, some people are more motivated, some are more intelligent.
There is also the issue that educational costs have rocketed, pricing out many
Next move onto the bit of a mess that is the NHS, it is going to take a decade to train a consultant, almost as long for nurses. So what do you propose today?
Stark was so rude and arrogant this morning. A genuinely nasty man it seems.

Agreed. A real paradox of a man.

...Next move onto the bit of a mess that is the NHS, it is going to take a decade to train a consultant, almost as long for nurses. So what do you propose today?
Part of the adaptation process. It's not going to happen overnight that's for sure, hence my description of it being like the aftermath of a war, perhaps one we lost.
"Where are the workers coming from?"
...anywhere. Nobody is advocating becoming North Korea.
Next move onto the bit of a mess that is the NHS, it is going to take a decade to train a consultant, almost as long for nurses.
I think we're going to see a pretty massive shortfall in nurses, regardless of the actual final Brexit terms:
Most migrants into the UK are from non-EU countries.
but it is still not as easy for non-EU migrants to get into the UK - currently there is discrimination in favor of the EU countries, so that in itself is rascist...

Nicely sums up the STW attitude, describing steelworkers as "menial labour".
Note which man looks apprehensive, and which one is smiling
