The EU Referendum

[superblue24]

Well, after all said and done (and voted), looks like my post brexit prediction (that we won't go through with it) will come to pass. http://www.mishcon.com/news/firm_ne...e_to_ensure_parliamentary_involvement_07_2016

What a load of time, effort and noise over something that is not happening. Total pantomime!

That just says it has to be an act of parliament before hand.

Even whnarticle 50 is invoked its probably not going to bring the changes most people who voted leave thought it would anyway.

No £350 million.

No control over immigration.

Still we got our country back.

Farage resigns as leader of UKIP. Really was a plan to deal with the aftermath of this mess wasn't there. :facepalm:

What I said earlier in the thread. :winking:

I don't think anyone has yet taken this angle but has the Brexit vote pushed the dream of FF even further away? Given that many believe it will never happen anayway. :smile: I posed the same question on the FF thread.

Certainly not good news (initially) for building firms,banks,EasyJet etc

I see that Brexit is importing skilled labour and creating jobs already. I can't imagine anyone would have a problem with this.

 

[superblue24]

I never had a problem with "skilled" labour coming in where there is a requirement for said skills (e.g. Doctors). My issue is flooding the UK with a common skillset (Van Drivers). Leads to a shortage of jobs and an increase in welfare/benefits.

Oh the hysteria ,we are doomed all doomed !

Real world time

We left an exclusive failing expensive club where those in charge happily destroy countries en masse,mass unemployment and mass immigration are their main criteria,anyone disagreeing is instantly deemed racist nazi or loon !

EU is doomed .

No plan at all from start to finish - whenever that will be.

I think a lot of the voters made their choice based on too many foreigners in the Country, Get rid of those foreigners and who will do those jobs for that money? Not British people - unless they get paid more. Pay more to get workers and the firms will have to cover their extra costs by increasing their prices. So we all pay more.

I'd guess that an ammnesty for all EU nationals currently in the UK will be announced shortly after formal negotations for Brexit begin (whenever that might be).

I'm also starting to believe a lot of people voted out as a protest against the "establishment" and would have voted that way regardless of the pros and cons. It seems that people were happy cut off their nose to spite their face.

I can't be arsed to dig through these posts, but to all those who said it was nothing to do with kicking out current EU residents, I believe that's what's being discussed at the moment. Shameful.

I don't think I've heard this said in relation to anyone who is here lawfully?

But Theresa May and her team at the Home Office have now suggested that it would not be a given that EU national could remain in the UK after Article 50 negotiations conclude.

That's disgraceful! :omg:

It is indeed. Would that have changed your vote?

No, I don't think so. Immigration wasn't the be all and end all for me. There will be huge opposition to that if she goes ahead and it could cost her the party leadership.
