What's that video? Cant see it on my crappy windows phone!
It's Boris explaining to Faisal Islam how he would negotiate with Angela Merkel, and is as tragic as you'd expect.

The North Remembers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That makes sense. Thank you. I would think Scotland would be more likely to wait it out. If by some miracle, leaving turns out to be a good idea it might be in their interest to stay. If it looks like we are royally screwed by the EU they can leave UK. Would they then be able to join the EU?
I accept there probably isn't enough money to go around now so cutting revenue won't work or would be unsustainable. Just trying to think of positives to keep the UK afloat.
Most of this thread and most of the media seems focused on looking inward, laying blame and finding ways to get out of the decision. There is very little effort going into actually devising a plan. It's just all panic and no action.

That video is 2 years old i think things have moved on a little.
If scotland leaves we should rebuild Hadrians wall and mount it with machine guns and 40mm cannons.keep those darn Scots off our England!
Yes, and the border will become the new Calais with hordes of grabigrants making cardboard shanty towns whilst they wait to climb into the back of haggis lorries in their attempt to reach the promised land

Personally I think lots of people are still being swayed by the whole project fear aspect in the media and seeing some volatility in the markets... I'm pretty positive about the whole thing - some sort of association agreement with the EU or an EFTA type solution would be great for us (I personally don't care much about immigration unlike say some of the working class from Barnsley seen on Channel 4 news but unfortunately we might have to harm part of our deal with the EU in order to get concessions over free movement). But overall, in the long term, we're probably going to do rather well. The EU can lumber on regardless and deal with any future eurozone crisis themselves.

It's still Boris though. He's now rolled back on his Telegraph column via friends saying he was tired. The man is a joke.

Because he lacks a spine. And a sense of self-determination.
The main reason I'm worried is because I don't trust our government to sort things out. The impression ive got from growing up trying to keep up with the news as much as possible, is that the government couldn't organise a bun fight in a bakery without the EU... (Judging by how bad they are at managing everything WITH the EU...)

In reality we're probably going to get some sort of Brexit-lite, which probably no one on either side actually wanted....
Project fear? The referendum had no legal right, it was advisory. IF the government choose to ignore it which is their DEMOCRATIC right you are advocated a violent revolution?

I sincerely hope everybody here will be challenging incidents of hatred should they witness it - and it doesn't need to be directly. Calling the police and assisting victims is also worth doing.

I completely see your point, but when the government says they'd honour the outcome of the referendum whatever the result they sort of back themselves into a corner.
Common it would be a perfect opportunity to intern them in work camps for their own good!

Seems a very closely contested seat, aside from 2010, and even then other minor parties are present besides UKIP and Labour. After the recent shambolic backtracking and lack of plan from Leave and even Farage in the media, I'd bet on it being a pretty much even tossup between the lot, with the increased turnout from a straight binary vote being lost.
The chance of a multi million person march occurring is precisely nil...
There might be a few violent protests of a few hundred people... Tear gas and batons, and send them all home (no pun intended). As the leave side seem to like saying so much "they'll get over it".
