They did make it personal. What the BoVe team thought the response was going to be? Hey, chaps! Thanks for giving me a good shafting, back to work now.

I hate to admit it but if that really was the case then it's quite brilliant. Just a shame it screws the public over as well.
That's 11,000 jobs gone if we actually leave.
No, i must be scaremongering...
Hope you're happy with the result.

Read up on it. Plenty of articles go into a lot of detail on just how he got where he is. It's the EU's version of democracy. It's quite scary.
Was gonna go regardless...
It does look bad, however if I had the money to buy it Id certainly make a similar statement to drive down the price of the purchase.
Then again I don't have the money so it really could be them pulling out no secondary motive.
Not definitive yet though.

And to think that we used to just call him Dave, and he used to hug us.
Good times. I can only imagine what's going on behind closed doors, as they are at least nominally long-term friends, with linked social and staff circles. Lots of swearing I imagine. Some tears.Yes, you are scaremongering. Read your own link. Nothing has been decided yet.

It certainly is looking like a disaster. I also feel really uneasy about the narrow margin, I'm all for democracy but the result was far too close to make a decision that would affect so many peoples lives who didn't vote to leave.
The fact that they are delaying invoking article 50 also makes me think that they are now saying 'Oh ****' what do we do now!

You'll have to excuse me as I am in no way qualified on these sort of matters but maybe delaying article 50 will give us more bargaining power. It appears the euro markets are getting hammered slightly worse than our own. Combine the longer we delay the more we allow for other euro sceptics to gather support for their own referendums.
Could give us the advantage when it comes to negotiating.

We need strong leadership right now not in three months time.
Cameron needs to start speaking up Monday and re assure everyone we'll be ok.
No Wonder Boris/Gove wanted him not to resign but glad he did they'll have to deal with this cluster**** and there future in politics won't be tenable. That's what they deserve for backstabbing him and far worse for the damage they've done to our country.
The only silver lining is once we leave we can say **** you to that scam artist Juncker, need to get one of the Ukip lot to kill him.

Or a Greek tragedy... I always said openly that I thought campaigning for Brexit without a plan or the oft mentioned 'special deal' was Pyrrhic at best. Cummings seemed to have had these romantic notions of informal chats in the corridors of power, but that's not how diplomacy works these days... or trade. Sigh.
Great play by them. Now they can blame it on the 'leavers' and do a runner without loosing as much face.

Not such a great play for the workers there, though. Some were probably lead to believe that the UK outside the EU would put up anti-dumping tariffs against Chinese steel too. This is also far from certain.

Maybe. Juncker and his cronies are demanding that we invoke article 50 to make it less painful for the EU, this is 24 hours after they have said that they want to make it painful for us to leave to discourage others from doing the same, hardly sounds like a democracy does it? More like a cult.
So maybe delaying will help us but it will also **** them off even more.

There is a huge amount of blame on Cameron for this ever happening.
The stupid referendum promise and the failure to properly engage the public are his crimes.
But by bailing without actually pulling the plug an opportunity exists to reconsider the result without ignoring it.
Call a GE.
The referendum has happened and if people didn't they can be real sure about the stakes now. The politicians also can see how split people are over this.
There will be one major issue and that will be going through with it or not and the party that gets elected has to go through with whatever banner they flew and it will be democratic.

This is the true face of the Leave campaign.
funny thing is merkal coming out saying it doesnt have to be painful.
also the bbc;s off again with more banking job losses, this time HSBC could move 2k workers to paris, but the HSBC when asked by the bbc had no comment. wonder how long it will be before the bbc end up in court over posting dodgy rumours.

We aren't leaving until they hand in artical 50 and I'm begining to wonder if anyone actually has the balls to do it.
