Jean-Claude Juncker can go away and eat his words. (This is a moving on thread)

Well of course you can! We have not yet resigned from it - we have just decided that this is the way forwards. When we are ready we will proceed.

It is just like belonging to any other club (e.g.a golf club). You might decide among yourselves at home that you wish to leave, but the actual decision as to when and how you make that concrete rests with you and not the golf club.

Just because the decision process has been very public and not a decision between individuals at home this does not make the procedure any different. We will set it all in train when we choose. That's fine.

The dust will not settle soon NanaandGrampy - we are now at the mercy of Tory Party in-fighting and jostling for power, the reason for the Referendum in the first place.

It was telling that DC's resignation speech even had to refer to the Tory party conference!

So the whole of the UK and EU are at the mercy of a bunch of backbench Euro-sceptics.

nana I refer you to my post just above yours. You cannot resign from something and then decide when and how you want to go.

What utter nonsense nana what about decency and allowing the other to move on and try to pick up the pieces left by our decision. As I said on another thread this decision isn't just about us it has affect 500million others.

No wonder we're leaving when this is an example of EU bully boy tactics. We should not let ourselves be forced to move faster than we want to. We have made our decision , we can invoke article 50 when we want . After all - they can't MAKE us do anything.

I think its eminently sensible to wait for the politics to settle down before moving forward. Let the dust settle I say.

DC will be busy trying to make sure Johnson doesn't get the premiership

jbf We cannot decide to resign from a club and then expect to decide how we do it. That is in the hands of the remaining club members.

We are either in the EU or out. If we are out we go back to square one. From 1 Jan 2017, or whenever our subscription expires we should be be treated like any other country which has no special arrangements with the EU and our government, who I hope will be run by those who supported exit, can negotiate the best deal they can get, which I suspect will be a lot less generous than they fondly believe.

If I was one of the other remaining states in the EU I would see no reason to give us an inside track into the club we had decided to leave.

We need to ignore him. Let DC do what he can in the next few weeks, although, God knows, he can't have much spirit left for it at the moment. They cannot be allowed to start dictating to us. Both sides are set to be losers to some degree. If we're going to be 'great' we need to keep our dignity now.

I think the majority of people who voted Leave want to get on with the Brexit as well. This is going to take a number of years so the sooner we get started the better.

Juncker is a joke. Scroll down and watch the brief video - it's hilarious!

Juncker

I can't blame the EU for wanting us to get on with Brexit - it's causing turmoil in world markets.

You would like to think so wouldn't you jing? But this is a mess if our own making and you can't be surprised if those who are going to be most affected don't tell us to get a move on so that they can begin to deal with the fallout.
