Now that we are leaving the EU...

varian I’ve got to love your persistence. And you full well know that some of those 50 million were not eligible to vote. Nice try though!

Absolutely Varian. And this thread perfectly explains why the rift that has been created will never be healed and however bad it gets the smug Leavers will deny it all, deny the racism, deny the loss of standards, deny the growth of authoritarian government, fascism, falling standards of living partly because they are part of the 'I'm all right Jack and I'm busy feathering my own nest' brigade and I can't say the rest because they'll run to Mummy GN and complain but they know the rest.

Urmstongran.

And when it turns out that leaving was the best thing for the country, will any of those 17 million be thanked for the decision they took?

I suspect there will be attempts to find 'newsworthy' stories to distract us from the important issues such as how negotiations are progressing. How well informed will we be? How much will be hidden?

I also wonder how long Boris Johnson's ”I got Brexit done”exuberance will last. We are told he is not a man interested in details. What will follow as from tomorrow is of course exactly that, i.e. details and the nitty-gritty. Not sure if that is his cup of tea.

Oooooh varian

Fighting talk

What are you going to do to these people?

You sound het up and overwound anniezzz. Try to keep a sense of perspective. It’ll help your blood pressure if nothing else!

I’m not ‘smug’ by the way. Stop projecting stereotypes. It doesn’t help the situation using such hyperbolic language. What are you trying to achieve here? More division?

Let’s try to be kinder to each other going forward. It would be a good start.

I am definitely not smug!!

The UK has now got 11 months of negotiations, I cannot see the point of getting so "het-up" about things which are yet to happen or may not happen.

I have just been speaking to a German lady I met on holiday. She says she is heartbroken that the UK is leaving the EU. She said she felt she was losing a member of her family. I told her that we, indeed most British people, do not want to leave and many of us are heartbroken that such a thing could ever have happened.

Heartbroken! Losing a member of her family! Dear oh dear.

Hearts mend Varian .....time the great healer etc.

Hear the sanity and the sadness of EU leaders.

Oh varian; you are so funny.

Germany and Germans may be heartbroken and grieving at the UK no longer being a nett contributor to the EU budget, obviously worried that they and France will have to dig deep to make up the defici.

There was a post on twitter bemoaning the fact that they were no longer a "European", the U.K. Is leaving the EU, it is not being towed into the middle of the Atlantic. We are still part of the continent of Europe.

Boris and Trump, god help us, the future.

Urm I have low blood pressure, I am expressing the frustration of many that a fraudulent, corrupt, advisory referendum has led us down this path. I will never accept the result, I hope some of you who voted for it suffer along with the rest of us.

The German media doesn't appear to be grieving.

Lets see where we are this time next year before the leavers get so smug that everything is going to be great. The we us 17 million who voted to remain will say told you so.

I won't Barmeyoldbat. I intend to let them get on with it.

before the leavers get so smug that everything is going to be great.

I just do not understand how they can be so absolutely certain about this. We've been continually told by them over the past 3 years that no-one can foretell the future.

And, they've never managed to tell us how leaving the EU is going to make everything great.

Wow! I'm also amazed to find Tony Blair talking sense for once! Well spotted Urmstongran.
Unfortunately the remainers on here won't listen to those wise words. They have kept their ears and eyes closed for the last four years except for what they want to hear. ? They will keep looking for ways to derail Brexit just so they can say 'I told you so' which is really not going to help anyone.

How on earth do people who voted remain have a way to ‘derail’ Brexit? If only we were that powerful. What a load of nonsense.

It has already started. It is all the Remainers fault apparently.

It’s sad. I even wonder if those who didn’t vote to leave the E.U. are actually secretly hoping the U.K. fails!

And although you won’t accept the result of the referendum annezzz perhaps you WILL accept that Boris got a stonking majority to ‘Get Brexit Done’. The GE wasn’t advisory nor corrupt.

I hope neither you nor I suffer from any consequences going forward. Why should we? We will all adapt to any change. The sky isn’t about to fall in.

Johnson got a minority of votes it a 'stonking majority' of MPs because of our corrupt undemocratic FPTP voting system. This is a sham democracy.

Everything is corrupt and fraudulant varian and the sooner you get used to it the better, then we can all stop hearing about it ?
