We're out out - The Brexit Thread

I fail to see anyone in British parliament with a backbone. Hasn't been one since Thatcher.

If she was in power now I don't think we would be in the EU even with out the referendum, My mum remembers her saying about the EU "I've been mislead"
Been looking at Nicola Sturgeon and I think that Scottish independence is more important to her than being in the EU, which makes me wonder how bad a deal would she take just so she can get Scotland free or will it really be free under the EU. I could see the Euro currency being part of that deal

That could be good news for UK exports which will provide growth
For now yes, but if it doesnt recover and you get the expected 5% export tax it could be painful.
that being said, you could go tit for tat and impost an import tax as well, but isnt that what you are trying to avoid?
Here is an interesting read based on the financial aspects
RBS Shares :
73% owned by the taxpayer
Market cap was £35bn on Thursday and it is now at £25bn and falling. Other bank shares are falling too.
Sturgeon is using this as fuel to mock Boris aka project farce for his claim that the pound and the market was stable. Bit premature to claim such a thing.

What annoys me the most is that leave voters have been primarily emotionally influenced. The Brexit camp had no idea how to take any of its promises from anything more than a vision. They somehow expected a Government which was pro-remain to clean all their mess up and now we're in the situation we're in now, with no plan, hanging in limbo looking like an absolute mess to the rest of the world.

It's irrelevant, who is there to replace him?
Borris Johnson cannot be PM, we would be an international embarrassment.

Indeed, nothing is happening right now.
Boris obviously has no plan from here and right now all of the promises that were given to the electorate are now unraveling around him.
Watching the NI Assembly right now and there is huge disagreement on how to move forward. Even in NI we have no plan to move forward, and we have a border with the south to sort out.
Right now everyone is shouting at Westminster, looking for assurances for all of the former EU funding for community projects, farmers and researchers.

"The proverb literally means 'you cannot simultaneously retain your cake and eat it'."
"The proverb's meaning is similar to the phrases 'you can't have it both ways' and 'you can't have the best of both worlds.'"
