    My remark was in the context that the victory howling was a bit fast because all the consequences of the referendum will be seen in the years to come.

    You made it look like that I was complaining that the UK where not out after 2 days

    Now, now...you know I'm only tweaking your nose :D you know my genuine thoughts on all this {[]

    Obviously all the time spent in England has affected how Özil takes penalties :))

    England are rubbish - I'm surprised they got out of the group :s

    England are playing entertainingly... then I remembered that it was like that last time and they didn't get out of the group. Energy, pace but no finishing in front of goal.

    I'd just like to point out that a bull actually does have tits (admittedly small tits), just like men have nipples. Anyone who's ever carried a bullock upside down (to have tags fitted) could attest to that. Other than that, I agree with minigeff's points. Well said, sir. :) -{

    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.

    I saw Cameron on the TV as he attended an armed forces day celebration in Cleethorpes - he looked every inch the broken man. I'm guessing that this will be the very last time the ball will be passed to the great unwashed.

    This just crossed my mind:

    Imagine that e.g. France would hold a referendum which ends in a "leave EU' vote.
    Now they refuse to pull chapter 50 and hold that back for 4 months until they have 'sorted themselves out'.

    The Farage and Johnson boys would have a field day slamming France and the EU for such a kind of drag play.

    Seriously - there was a massive Leave Campaign and no-one really has a plan how to move on after they succeed?

    And may I add that Cameron during the campaign said several times that the next day after a Leave decision, he will pull chapter 50 and lead the country out of the EU.

    Seems to me that the Brexit camp easily criticize others but are probably worse themselves.

    I agree, like a plaster it should revoved quickly. The delay is for one reason, so that
    the conservative party can sort itself out. In my opinion Cameron is a disgrace,
    abandoning the country. :#

    At the end of it, I really wanted the UK leaving the EU ( for different reasons from the Brexit Campaign)and I want the UK leaving the Union as fast as possible after hard negotiations from the EU side.

    But I have the feeling that at the end of a long process, there will be no-one willing to pull chapter 50. Just look how Johnson is suddenly quiet, Scotland is on the edge, 80% of the parliament wants to stay, I won't be surprised if there would be a U-turn and at the end of the day, that would really damage the EU and UK reputations.

    The delay is only because Cameron is behaving liked a spoiled brat and refuses to do what the people of Britain told him to do just because it's not what he wants...

    Good luck in trying to get the EU to play hardball :)) That just won't happen ! And I think you know it ;) just look at how all the EU countries were begging Britain to stay :D

    That would mean hat the EU has not learnt from the past and of course this would invite others to do the same to better their conditions.

    And the cracks are already showing.....

    The EU, in some cases is/was a good idea, but it's impossible to keep everyone happy and I think a few members are now going to do the same as us and question if the cons really outweigh the pro's.

    It wouldn't surprise me if other countries demand a referendum with the reason that 'the UK had a democratic choice, why can't we?'

    After all, isn't democracy a fundamental byword of the EU. Free trade, free movement, free speech?

    The remain crowd gave us the worst case scenario with a healthy dollop of fear on top, the public didn't buy it.

    Both sides had appalling campaigns and both lied and twisted figures.

    Now we have to get on with it. Hopefully the UK government will work FOR us instead of the other way round for a change.

    But I've never seen that in my life so I'm not holding my breath.

    So your idea is to bully countries into staying in the EU ? :o

    There will be NO playing hardball from the EU - it's in nobody's best interests...and that's just a plain old fact.

    The ones, who cultivated and voiced permanently hate against the EU in the last 6 months - bullied and insulted everybody from here are now complaining for being bullied :)) :)) :))
    And hope that we remain weak and inconsistent - something that they've complained about for decades?

    Must be great living in the Brexit camp world - no matter "THEY" are evil and "WE" are right and reasonable.

    When they say "Stay, because if you leave, you are in trouble" - they threat
    When they are trying to help others, they are weak
    When they are not consequent - they are corrupt
    When they are consequent, they bully 8-)

    I've been criticized for using the word "paranoid" in that context, maybe I was not too wrong :D

    It has nothing to do with bullying. UK wanted to be out. They are out B-)

    And others will watch closely - there are populists all over Europe
