In theory this could get very ugly on both sides, but I doubt it will. If the EU are going to be very unpleasant about this, it'll make me happy we've left. We have the right to leave, after all. They'll be proving us right.

That's circular logic imo.

Not every divorce is amicable, some breakdown of relationships do indeed turn nasty, but that doesn't prove the relationship before the breakdown wasn't a good positive one.

Hearing some of the statements from the EU, I agree with them, we have said we want to leave, why should they have to wait 3 months before we start proceedings. Also, they are saying, we won't get any preferences deals as they now have to look after their own interests, and stabilising the union is their no.1 priority, and what message would giving us a preferential deal say to other countries.

I agree that the Leave campaigners are now a bit stumped, the pathetic attempt to rally behind Cameron so he could carry the can on this, pfft, you broke it - you sort out this mess.

Oh, you don't actually have a clue about the way forward......great :rolleyes:

A skilled worker is not going to have issues seeking employment. You are still going to be able work in the EU. I'm not sure how many low skilled workers were desperate to move to another country. A skilled worker will easily be able to move still.

That's not what I said is it? Just countering the nonsense that people are spouting as if last week the price of the pound was based on absolute security. It wasn't, it was already low off the back of potential risk, so having 'risen' back to that low isn't something to crow about.

What we can't do, is pretend that we can blindly go about doing what we want with zero effects.
 
Call another referendum and I will still choose to go out Mountain Biking instead of voting.. You never know I might even vote leave and widen the margin.

This whole thing had been a farce. A campaign of scaremongering by the media and 'remain' members and lies by the leave brigade. Total embarrassment.

Planes aren't going to drop out of the sky, our skilled youth will still be able to get a visa and work abroad, we might be able to claw back a bit of border control, our laws can be made and passed without fear of contravening EU legislation and we will still trade with Europe and the world.
 
The bullying from the EU and trying to kneecap the UK is ridiculous and the remain want to be a part of that dictatorship?

You know there are many types of democracy yes? Thatcher was against referendums, because we have a representative democracy, not a direct one.

So your statement above is pretty fallacious because not having referendums doesn't mean we don't have democracy

Surely countries should be in the EU on the merit of the organisation and the benefits to it brings to the countries in it, rather than because they're worried about getting a bad deal if they democratically decided to leave. Juncker is a joke and I'm glad we we voted Leave. We're far better as a country than that organisation.

Their way or no way, will not change, using bullying tactics, the treatment of Greece.

Yup - that's been really disappointing. I think we're really seeing the inherent dislike of, and disrespect for the UK that's been hidden in Brussels for quite some time, and confirms that the UK is right to get out of this government. Using a divorce as a metaphor, BBC reported one eurocrat telling them that it was never a passionate love affair in the first place.

You seem to be struggling, so let me help

Dictator - a ruler with total power over a country, typically one who has obtained control by force

Hmm, we seem to be leaving this 'dictatorship' because we have decided to...doesn't sound like they have total power over us, and I don't remember any force.

Maybe it's more like a 'membership of a club' that has rules and the people of that club hand out reprimands if you don't follow those rules, but there's the door if you want to leave.

Yea, that sounds more like it.....dictatorship lol, go and have a look at those countries that really are dictatorships :rolleyes:

Most of the hatred is from the French side of the EU IMO
