No I don't.
Do you remember a time before the EU? We've captained our own ship for a 1,000 years before it existed.
Here's my cousins photoshop of what our new English passports should look like now we've left the EU
needs a hologram of a football hooligan on it
I do get the joke, but FYI it currently spends about £2,115 million a week (£110 billion/year). Even if all the EU contributions were put in it would only add 17% to the budget.
Speak for yourself.
The problem comes down to the reasons for peoples votes.
What winds me up is that the "stupid and uneducated" (as you refer to them), have been whining about austerity measures in this country for the last few years. But they've not realised by leaving the EU they've just signed themselves up for several more years of austerity.
That doesn't bother me in the slightest - austerity measures were't affecting me. I've had the poor peoples interests at heart with this referendum
but it seems like they've got other ideas.
TIL £50 billion is nothing.
Allow multinational companies to extract the urine while uncontrolled migration helps them with cheap labour in the more prosperous countries.
is pretty much what it boils down to. Oh and the majority of legislation passed helps large companies the most since small companies have no lobbying power in the EU.
Nope not at all... Common sense and the rules of the game. Not that hard to understand.
Its like people who lobby have the rules changed, its left to the government to ultimately implement this.
As gloating is now over.
We need to pull together and move on, this is not our fault.
The EU was the problem with ever expanding over encroaching policies and not listening to us as a people.
It is their fault, Cameron went with cap in hand looking for a better deal and explaining the concerns of the British people, they told him to GTF basically and now they have paid the ultimate price.
We as a nation have helped all our European neighbours today, bailed them out (again) from what was becoming a to big over empowered construct.
People make choices not governments, they are there to serve the people.
The EU was becoming far to unaccountable and has now got to deal with the consequences.
Who knows maybe this is the wake up call for the EU to get its act together and start listening instead of dictating.
Junker needs to resign also, didn't see that one coming did you old boy.
Oh I forgot he drinks wine for breakfast.

Housing is overvalued, driven by irresponsible lending by the banks. People out bid each other with money they then had to pay back, much more than they should have had to borrow. This sucks disposable income out of the economy, everyone feels poorer and there is a lack a liquidity.
Money needs to circulate and at the moment a lot of it is tied up in property. A drop in prices is bad for those mortgaged up to the eyeballs but for young and first time buyers it will free up a lot of their income to spend elsewhere in the economy.
It will happen sooner or later as the gap between earnings and housing has become too great.
This world is vastly different than it was back then.
The poor did indeed kick back. But they kicked back at the wrong target.
The tragedy of all this is that what will now follow will impact far harder on the poor than anyone else. If there is recession then further austerity will hit the poor hardest. If there is a boom, it will be at the expense of the poor because there will be less workers rights and protection outside of the EU.

There's a strong correlation, the less educated and older you are the more likely you were to vote leave.

We now can get our fishing waters back and maybe sink a few Spanish trawlers
You know we fish more tonnage than any other European nation bar one at the moment?
