In or Out- the EU referendum mega thread

Euro:
TNUK readers showed a three to one majority for exit. The outcome wasn’t quite that big but they got the result they wanted.

To be fair though, this is a site for members of an industry that is being wrecked by the EU market. Im not an expert on it by a long shot but guys on here who I believe know their stuff and can be taken seriously say it so I take it as a real threat. Therefor the pol on here was always going to be a bigger leave result.

Stanley Knife:
11 down (1 sacked, 10 resigned)

Karl Turner MP, Shadow Attorney General has resigned.

I reckon the Labour Party will disappear before the eu does :open_mouth:

Ste46:
Oh dear - it seems that pro-Brexit ministers have had to admit now that they cannot ACTUALLY control immigration after all!
Oh - and Mr Farrage now says that he never ACTUALLY promised that the aid fund could go to the NHS instead!
(Both reported in today’s papers)

I wonder what other lies/disinformation will surface in the next few days!

Steve

And oh look, a remain voter accusing the leave campaign of lies and disinformation.
Have you not heard of politics and spin before? :open_mouth:

Ste46- Immigration can and will be controlled. But it can’t happen overnight.

Article 50 needs to be invoked as I am sure you are aware. We are not going to agree to uncontrolled immigration in order to secure trade deals.

Don’t forget we buy more from the EU than they buy from us.

Just an observation but I can see why TNUK is trying to combine all EU threads into one but it might be worth letting the new topics unfold before being to hasty on the merge button.

Yes I know its not my place to critique but we are entering a monumentous time in the history of the UK and a paradigm shift in the UK’s position in the world that pausing before merging could be prudent to avoid confusion.

As far as the recent thread merger goes, due to the average age of drivers its understandable more will lean to leave, we have seen what the EU has done from the get go and enough is enough, our children may not thank us now but one day they will or wont ■■■■ knows im ■■■■■■■

I was born in 1975 and both my parents voted no to joining , sadly my dad died 12 years ago but my mum voted out this time as did i for my sake and for my father :wink:
None of my 3 brothers voted stay either or their partners

You can’t blame younger voters going for remain, they know nothing else but the country being ruled by the EU.
Anything else is different to life as they have always known it.

On a side note, MPs and politicians have all got stick on here, and in general, but to be honest I have had quite a lot of faith restored in British politics, I genuinely thought that the Establisment would never allow a Brexit vote, and that corruption would rear it’s head to get the verdict that ‘’ they’’ clearly wanted.
So things are not as bad with the system as I thought they were.

Watching Fox News and the consensus in the us is the uk will be fine, but they’re really worried for the eu. They’re predicting more eu referendums in the stronger economies

Surely not, the remain campaign said the UK economy would fall apart and possibly spark world war 3 if we left…

Could this be lies and disinformation? :open_mouth:

Could be, just like us being at the back of the American queue

My money is on the Netherlands going for a referendum next, there is a lot of anti EU feeling by a lot of the Dutch people, so this, could open the floodgates.

That reminds me where’s Desypete when you need him, the wife is still at the front door, packed, and waiting for his verdict.
In the words of Joe Strummer of The Clash, …Does she stay or does she go Pete?? :smiley:

Kerry can’t wait to come over to talk :smiley: I recon the usa and Canada will be first to sew up a trade deal along with china :wink:

Let’s put the young voters issue to bed. Statistics say only 36% of 18-24 year olds voted, of that 3/4 voted remain. By my maths that’s about 1.5 in 5 voted remain, .5 were brexit and the rest couldn’t be asked. It’s hardly flushing a generation down the toilet, is it

I’d go so far as saying a deal with the yanks and the Chinese would be a bigger priority than the eu. It gives the markets some stability and really gives us the upper hand with Brussels.

Let’s be fair Jay, they APPARENTLY didn’t get a chance to vote as they needed to head off to Glastonbury early to get a good pitch! :smiley:

But yes, IF they had voted, it could well have been a different outcome. But they didn’t, so oh well… :laughing:

This is basically what i’m wondering about, will there be an EU in 2 years to even do a deal with? :open_mouth:

Nope :grimacing:

Now Bloomberg are reporting an aide of Merkel saying the uk should be given time to pause and think about brexit. Oh, and we can reapply later if we want. Sounds familiar to the YouTube video I posted yesterday. Seems the Germans are a little worried about us leaving the club.

Youth as they say is wasted on the young and if this referendum had took place 10 years from now it would be a different result.

The grey / xenophibic / non PC vote has been the difference in this for whatever reason but its foolish not to listen to the wisdom of your elders, they have seen both sides, they have given you the chance to change not only a disjointed EU membership but also a disjointed political body out of touch with the common man.
We have not destroyed your future we have given you the opportunity to shape it as you wish. One day you will thank us, one day you will understand what those with the courage to vote leave did what they did.
We will not go quitely into the night we will stand up for what is right, to remain would plunge Britain into an era of submissive dependance on Europe, to leave has shifted the power back in our hands. Many obsticles lay ahead but they are ours to overcome for today is our independ… hang on thats been done, I mean tomorrow is yours seize the day and follow the second star on the right till morning.

I really should be in politics but Today we have made the decision that will shape your tomorrow, right or wrong to do nothing would be a sign of weakness our parents would never forgive us for.
The EU originally voted for is not what we ended up with a beaurocratic monster that will consume itself, so embrace change as when it all settles down youl realise theres very little change at all.

Exactly what my mum said , that’s why she voted no in 1975
