The USA has said no trade deal with the UK until after we sort one with the EU. Maybe Obama was right after all.

Otherwise you turn up to an international meeting and make a massive tit of yourself.

We can thank Farage for already doing that.

At least there's this now: http://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/home.

The New European - a cosmopolitan, optimistic, intelligent and expansive collection of news, analysis, voices, sport, culture, business, travel and the arts - celebrates the best of Europe.

Take my money!

Ahahaha, OcUK has always been pro UK, anti EU historically.

If it's generally pro remain here then that's pretty indicative of the country as a whole.

Well...no.

How do I know? There was a massive opinion poll recently called the 'referendum' which showed that 52% of people favour 'Leave'.

It was generally pro leave here as well, until we actually voted leave.

Looking at the latest results 4x as many people that voted leave would choose to vote remain (vs. remain that would now vote leave).

If we had another vote do you honestly think leave would win?

China trade deal more likely. EU frustrating says China trade official.

I disagree with that version of events. It was fairly pro-leave leading up to the referendum, but on the day (and before it was anywhere clear Leave would win) the new poll suggested strong support here for Remain.

In other words, OCUK changed it's mind to Remain when it came to actually voting whereas the public didn't.

The Daily Mail is certainly my preferred source for reliable Brexit information. Although I do try and get a balanced view by cross referencing against the Sun and the Daily Express.

So if we voted again do you think leave would still win?

Does he even know his history? Or is he simply trying to tug on the patriotic heartstrings of those that know no better?

yes and i find that further cross references with the daily stormer and the official national front website help me to gain an even more balanced and tolerant view, if I am still stuck I just arrange a TC with Mugabe, Assad and get a medium in so I can reach out to the spirit of Gadafi...............

pointless debate as hindsight is everyone's best friend and there would never be another vote. Much better to focus on the democratic processes moving forward to ensure that we only put a small gunshot wound to our foot rather than blowing our entire leg off and bleeding out.
