Problem is all the thing Bojo is demanding/saying should be done doesn't fit any of the candidates for pm. Cameron is in no position to promise eu citizens already here won't be kicked out as that isn't his choice, it's the next pm choice and some of them have left that option on the table. If only there had been somebody standing for the leadership who thought the same approach..............

I sincerely hope they get rid of that option asap. I can't imagine having moved to another country and created a life to have that possibility weighing on my mind

Lol if Remain had won you could argue the same thing

Yes you could, yes people would, and yes I'd understand if they did.

Probably the most convoluted reply ever. :confused:

I'm also on Merseyside's border, it's true. Scousers have this incredible cognitive dissonance I've never seen anywhere else.

Its called talent, very few in the UK have it.

PS

Most of Liverpool voted to stay in the EU, just saying.

Ahh, but Liverpool still voted Remain! They always come through in the end.

Unlike Brum and the Capital of Geordie-land. :mad:

3 points for effort, but that errant apostrophe and the historical inaccuracy kills it.

They can't I'm afraid, not until they start negotiations with the EU & know the EU's stance on brit citizens living in the EU.

Ahh I hadn't really considered that.

That's not cool some people will have this worry for an awfully long time then

You write most of Liverpool, but I would be very surprised if the reason remain won was because of Wirral voters, there are heck of a lot of very wealthy people that live on the west side of the peninsula that would have been terrified of what Brexit might bring.

Same could be said of Manchester these days.

Is it still being argued that it was democratic to have had a vote result procured on a pack of lies? I bet if we had the same referendum again the vote would be completely different and those arguing for us to leave the EU so intently wouldn't entertain it.

The reason we had the referendum is because the quick rise of UKIP over a couple of elections along with them getting voted into the EU Parliament.

People have been voting for what they think about the EU for long before the referendum.

Searched and I don't think this has been posted.

Mishcon de Reya, lawyers acting for a group of business people and academics, said it would be unlawful for a prime minister to trigger Article 50 without a full debate and vote in Parliament.

And in other news it amazes now the hatred by leavers for any company saying the might have to leave the uk like easy jet. They have valid reasons relating to airspace yet already there are 128k leave voters ranting on social media that they have had billions from us and now they are leaving cause of the vote and they should be boycotted and are demanding that any company which leaves the uk cannot trade again with the U.K. The place has gone mad.

What's mad is people not understanding the difference between setting up a AOC in Europe and moving to Europe. The press didn't understand this, whipped up more fear and you have fallen for it as have the 128k leave voters.

Anyway, hopefully if MPs take note of this professors letter he sent there won't be any need for one anyway

So parliament should ignore the will of the people in favour of a small bunch of students and their EU-obsessed tutor.

Where was his letter saying Leave should need 60% to be enacted before the referendum?

Appears they are just saying that it should be done lawfully. If it isn't it will be challenged.
