Jetpilot Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Cameron's statement at 8am will be interesting, as will the one from Boris no doubt following shortly after... I think what disturbs me the most has been the response from people in social media. They've either been saying that everyone has f*cked up, or they're smug as f*ck. What ever happened to losing and winning with dignity and grace? You mean like people smugly claiming victory at 10pm Lets give it a week or month to see what happens when the dust settles.

Juggalo Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) I'm the happiest man alive today. On another board I'm on, the Germans, French, Danes, Austrians, etc are congratulating us with envy, and hoping they'll now get a referendum. I strongly feel that the UK is the key Jenga piece in the EU. Now that Germany and France will have to carry Eastern Europe and the broken Southern Nations, it's just a matter of time. The EU is truly broken and needs dismantling. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Edited June 24, 2016 by Juggalo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 That's the problem with democracy, it's always a protest vote and rarely a visionary one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I know, I actually feel quite sad and didnt expect to feel this way. And not that economically the country is going to be tipped upside down and shaken around but actually so many people on FB are crowing about it and I know they voted Leave purely because of immigration. Sad that as a nation we have this sort of attitude towards our fellow man. That's the problem they see in you. They see "Our fellow man" as the British people who live here. Not refugees, asylum seekers, economic migrants and EU citizens. For too long people like you have refused point blank to listen and have simply brushed people off as racist if they objected to your EU vision. The world doesn't work like that, and last night, the EU got schooled on the power of democracy No hard feelings mate, but the Out vote is the EU's fault for years of incredible arrogance.

Jetpilot Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 ^^^ talk of a few other countries wanting a referendum, seems like its not just the uk, perhaps its not just the us thats unhappy with the way it now operates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 'People like me' Jug were more than aware, at no point did I cite people with this view as racist, simply that they were biasing their view on the vote on a single issue that is not the economic drain on the country that Farage and his one policy cronies would like you to believe it is. Its actually 'people like you' that cannot see past a single issue and objectively debate a wider issue - you saw this thread as a competition of us vs them and as such here you are celebrating your 'win' - this thread was actually about debating an exit and what might happen and should we support it and you never understood that at any point. over 60 odd pages which is why also so few people engaged with your rants. Personally I voted the other way, now we need to get on with it and ensure that any ensuing economic shocks are minimised as best as possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The saddest part for me, he gave the scots what they wanted and the population what they wanted, about the only pm to do so in many years, a poison chalice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Just watched Camerons speech, actually a very good one! Shame he didn't talk up the positives of EU membership before last night in the same way. Plus a thinly veiled attack on Boris when he mentioned that he took his stance on his beliefs rather than a political agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Surely this means, in theory, that Farage's job is done now. Does this mean he can disappear from our screens for good? Or is that just wishful thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Farage's job was done when he promised to resign at the last election if UKIP didn't win a seat, which he did, but then came back because of his parties love for him. At least Cameron for all his failings did the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Chris Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The UK is no longer the world's 5th largest economy. The £ has fallen so far that France has overtaken us. After a *massive* drop the market has recovered a little. At the moment the losses in less than 3 hours and in the FTSE100 only are only equivalent to 7 years of payments to the EU. So that's ok then. I'm so glad we have taken back control. Ah well, interesting times ahead. At least there seems a chance that people in general may become more engaged in politics over the next few years. That's important to prevent low turnout elections and the feeling that we are powerless against what our government does day-to-day, so we may as well not bother. We need more argument and debate and we will get that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
