Anyway I'm done. I'm off to read about James Bond now.
Welcome back stag. With regards Russia invading, I was quite amused to read that following the referendum result the maniac Putin offered Britain the hand of friendship!
I don't trust that man at all.
I bow down to the economic competence in this thread....
The decision is now 2 days past, Britain has not left the Union yet and we've had a veritable crash on the stock market and the GBP is on a long - time low.
All the triumph howling from the Brexit camp is a bit premature imo and at best wistling in the dark.
The consequences - positive or negative - will play out in the years to come - the only thing that I agree with here is that the divorce should not be delayed now that the decision has been made.

Hmm what is it they say about sarcasm? As far as I can tell the global economy is at best uncertain at the moment, come the presidential elections in the USA there is liable to be an economic wobble, it's uncertain what is really happening in China but the signs are not good, a UK exit from the EU was always going to have an initial negative effect and it is up to the leaders of both the EU and the UK government to minimise that negativity, so far though both parties are failing in that, a quick and AMICABLE divorce is the way forward but the EU leaders seem to playing their usual game of over heavy handedness and petulant posturing, Angela Merkel has called for calm and should be listened to. It was uncertain times before and even more so now, diplomacy and ensuring a good mutual future relationship is what's needed now.
It was either that.....or the priesthood

All this talk of 'start the divorce now' is sour grapes from Europe - and very, VERY funny ) they sound like a petulant child that hasn't gotten their own way
I see Scotland are trying to block the Brexit by getting their MSPs to 'refuse to give their legislative consent' )

Scotland have a bit of a sticky wicket to play now, for them to remain in the EU they would need another referendum to split from the UK then apply as a new country, adopt the euro, and loose the backing from the UK, I don't think they can afford it and to be honest from what they do produce for export they would eventually be better off staying and being part of the UKs inevitable global marketplace. I wouldn't want to be Scottish at the moment.
Uk ' wanted their country back' and wanted to leave and now everything has time and is not so urgent.
It seems no matter what the Brexit guys are right and everybody else is wrong
As much as everyone wants this separation to be as painless as possible it's not going to happen overnight.
We currently have both our main parties imploding. Cameron has put two fingers up and done a 'you want it, you deal with it' and left the Conservatives in disarray and the Labour party , well, I have no words ...
I think as well, it will take a brave politician to set Article 50 in motion. Who wants to be responsible for that ??
Before Article 50 is put in place we need to sort out who is in charge and have a clear plan on how to implement it ... That could take a while the way things currently stand.
Then of course, there may be a snap general election called. If a party has in their manifesto to remain and is elected that would override any referendum.
This is going to get messy and drawn out and Europe are going to have to wait till we sort ourselves out first.

No, not at all...and it was always going to take a minimum of two years anyway...and as this hasn't been done before it was always going to be a bit messy - like I said, sour grapes from Europe ! At least Angela Merkel understands that and has said 'let's not rush this'...

Yes I have...the GBP 'peaked' a week or so before the vote...it's only dropped about 8% - and will recover further...sounds like Europe is scared and is scaremongering
I see most of Europe's leaders are asking for EU reform as it clearly isn't fit for purpose....

The GBP lost dramatically over the last months in the outlook of the Brexit.
Why should we scaremonger? The decision is done.
But most of us (except Merkel) outside of the UK are p*ssed that the Tories take us hostage again for longer than necessary to sort heir own stuff out. This all started with the division of the Tories and was already going far too long.
As if we can just stop the game and everybody keeps on waiting until the match is being restarted.

This all started when the UK politicians understood there was a growing discontent with the EU within the UK, Cameron offered the referendum to secure votes, which it did put him in power and so he had to hold it. And as it turns out this may be one of only a few times a government has followed the will of the majority electorate. The decision to leave is the democratic choice of the eligible voters. A lot of which were Labour voters who wouldn't follow their party line!
I am dissapointed in Cameron the "we are not quitters" politician just upping and quitting. And looking at the markets last week the FTSE 100 finished the week higher than is started. Sterling has been hit. But will continue to recover ground over the coming time frame. Though unfortunately rumblings from Italy, Spain in particular are most worrying.
The biggest "own goal" from Cameron, was not allowing 16 year olds to vote !
That alone, probably cost him the referendum .
Cameron a great political mind, my a*se.

No, it was widely reported across the UK that the GBP rose to $1.50 on the strength of the opinion polls - putting Remain in front...it's about $1.37 today...hardly a 'dramatic' loss 8-)
Hey - the Tories hold the UK hostage too - sucks doesn't it ! X-(

You are a sensible chap - apart from footwear - you know full well Brexit will take a minimum two years...coupled with the fact it's never been done before, and you will probably be looking at a longer timeframe than that...there is so much to negotiate on...it could even take longer than the 2020 date that the Tories are looking at !
Just watched a bit of 101 Dalmations, Cruella turns up and mocks penniless songwriter Roger and his wife's pokey house. A London pad like that would be a good few million today!
Of course, thanks to Brexit we'll be all be living in such gaffes from now on...

I read somewhere that anybody can sign that petition anywhere in the world so it's kind of a bit daft regardless?
Apparently a lot of people in the Vatican City have signed ... nice to see they care so much about our politics
