With all due respect I agree with you that we need to move on but the just deal with it attitude is getting tiring as well as it is stupid and ridiculous. If a situation is poor I have the right to be annoyed and protest. I'm not saying we should stay but the current situation with May and Leadsom is just awful and probably doesn't represent the majority of leave voters.Just wow? This thread wont die.
Its just a circle jerk of comments of no substantial substance, basically urinating in the wind from both sides.
Just let it be and move on for crying out loud.
But I suppose this is the rhetoric the special ********* generation are out to regurgitate!
Do me and the other 17 million people a favour, STFU and deal with it then maybe progress can be made.
We can leave the EU but it also doesn't mean we have to ditch the entire continent as well which many wish to do. We need to move on but we need people to start taking action and making some rational decisions. People also need to accept that Boris and Farage welched when the situation got difficult (Not that them leaving is a bad thing).
You're a clone of SciNeT - if you don't want to discuss the next steps for #Brexit then don't read this thread.
You're making accusations that are completely unfounded by any of the recent posts in here. Who's being a *********/bitter/salty/whatever, as opposed to engaging in discussion about the future of the UK?
What does moving on look like to you, seeing as we haven't left the EU yet and won't for at least two years?

It's pretty much all they have in the playbook. 'Lets move on!' 'Get over it!' 'You are just bitter!' Just like the campaign itself it's all emotive stuff.
It's this weird notion that we cannot discuss the biggest and most dramatic political shakeup in most of our lifetime.
The most odd thing is that we all know how it'd have been the other way round.

Exactly, and thats another two years at least. A lot can happen in that time (Whether it be for the better or worse). I think his issue is with peoples opinions and ideology as opposed to the general discussion.

I hate the phrase "Just get on with it" as it is absurd. The idea that you can have a major change in the political and economic landscape and just say "Well it happened" is beyond me. Surely we need to figure out ways in which we carry out the task as opposed to going in blind and demonising those who voted options different to our own. We need these discussions so to digest and move forward in a positive light[TW]Fox;29761315 said:

You're laughing now scorza but if you look at history you see that things don't go well when young people get shafted.
The government is another topic, or off topic as one would say from this thread.
I don't care who is elected to be PM, so long as they invoke article 50 ASAP.
We can deal with PM's every 5 years so no big deal, 5 years is nothing in the grand scheme of things.
But GTFO of the EU as soon as, it will fold within the next 5 to 10 years if not sooner, looking at the demographic opinion of the EU citizens.
That's without looking at each of the individual EU countries finances.

Me?
That's not really a good attitude IMO as a PM can do a fair bit of damage to the country and its reputation in 5 years (Looking at both the candidates). The leaving the EU thing is again a matter of opinion thoughThe government is another topic, or off topic as one would say from this thread.

I'm not sure if that was aimed at me but all i am doing is pointing out some bits of a programme im watching that are interesting and it is funny watching the MP's squirm at what they are hearing in this select committee, oh and i voted leave.
Anyone posting in this thread and from either camp should watch this. From the start.

Why are these kind of people not running the country?

Why is this preferable to invoking article 50 when we are ready to do so and have a clear strategy for the negotiations, and the correct people in position to get the best possible deal for the UK?
Just so people can see it if they click that link after 20:00 today:

Shakeup my arse, try WW1-2 for shakeups.
This is just a bump in the road but it has to be dramatized to the extent of petulance for the special people.
I do apologize if I come across as a little condescending and arrogant, but I did grow up along time ago.
I'm sure you'll take this as victory but we went over this so many times before I'm not going to spend the next 20 minutes writing a complete case for the EU in response to your questions.

I said 'our lifetimes'
Were you alive during WW1?!
lol young people shafted? What you see at that protest isn't young people - it's a subset of spoilt, middle-class, metropolitan young people who for the first time are experiencing an outcome that isn't to their favour. You want to talk to me about young people then fine, but let's talk about the young people in places like Stoke on Trent or Greater Manchester whose future, up until now, has looked completely grim. Young people who are denied access to entry level industrial jobs because they don't speak Polish, or because they're competing with better educated and more experienced applicants from the continent for a job as a barista. No-one's given a damn about those young people in my lifetime, so why should they give a damn about a handful of London rich-kids playing in bohemia now?

You do a disservice to your generation to imply that condescension and arrogance is an age thing.

I think your problem is that your not looking at the bigger picture and the potential whole we have dug here, this isn't a hole for our selves but others as well as if the banking system goes kaput you'll be regretting saying its not a shakeup.How is it so dramatic to you personally?

At the end of the day right now its probably not effecting you in a substantial way but by the time we live in a country run by "Full Thatcher" under an authoritarian, conservative leader it will be a pretty big "Shakeup" as you put it.
Also the current effects are a currency that is becoming monopoly money as it almost reaches parity with the Euro, more expensive imports which the majority of our purchases are made of and the potential for many job losses and a weaker market which will effect everyone. Just to mention a few
