Red ochre Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Surprised - but looking good! Please don't punish us for our wish for liberty. If this goes as predicted , I'm so proud of the bravery of the people of England, Wales and Cornwall, for voting against the threats from Europe and North America. Sod the pound! - we can be free and work together, with our friends in "Europe" too. I think it will all settle down eventually but personally I'd rather be free! Democracy, atlast! :) 4 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack.............. Diabolical Drawings ................Real Paintings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Borg Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) It's official. We've left. Downside possibly Smug Cameron resigning and Despot Osbourne taking over ? Just glad to be out from under Merkel I'm with you Red. Totally fed up of being dictated to and now maybe we can sell bent cucumbers and other wonky veg in our shops. What a stupid law that was - wouldn't it be nice if we can go back to imperial and not metric Edited June 24, 2016 by Si Borg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipstick Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Congrats on your new found freedom! I was wondering who would be for and against this. I'm interested to see how the financial markets react. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I thought about doing a post too (thanks @Red) but was hesitant as I was warned at a young age to think twice about discussing politics or religion in a public forum. However, hubby and I are so 'chuffed' with this result ................ and the Polsters were all wrong, as we suspected. Ecstatic at seeing the end of Brussels. Viva sovereignty. 2 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

DrewDale Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Indeed a good day for democracy. Rumour has it that a petition has been logged on the Downing Street website to call for a re-referendum, based on the low turn out of voters. Let's hope it doesn't come to that, because IMO, the people have spoken. Just a pity that it will take up to two years to be completely free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midora Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 What a sad day for people of Great Britain and their friends in Europe. Especially for the young ones. A lost generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Borg Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It does seem like a lot of young people aren't happy. My son's were "Rich old people like you have messed it up for us" One I'm not old, Two I'm not rich because I'm bankrolling 2 kids through uni. And he seems more concerned about the euro exchange rate when he goes to Ayia Napa in a fortnight. Midora I don't see it as a sad day but a chance to govern ourselves and without some idiotic bureaucracy. Let's hope the petition that's gathering momentum is pie in the sky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midora Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Good luck, but I doubt. I'm in fear that the opposite will be the case. There will be just more bureaucracy for the companies if they like to trade inside GB and with the EU. And GB will no longer be able to influence the rules. You should understand that installing common rules for cooperation and trade reduced bureaucracy and costs in the EU (even if some of them may look strange for individuals). More different economies means more different rules and more bureaucracy. Plus the costs for the new institutions and bureaucracy needed to coordinate with the EU will be enormous.

Hi Midora, I agree that a lot of what you fear may well be true. My viewpoint is, however, more based upon Nationalistic than commercial considerations. The European Community was sold in 1957 as a free trade area, which was an excellent concept, but clearly was meant to conceal the intention of creating a political union unencumbered by electoral legitimacy . As presently constituted, the trade benefits are heavily diluted by unconnected political dogma and, more insidiously, the administration from Brussels is politically misbegotten and effectively unaccountable. As with Japan and Switzerland, England has a proud history and no wish to be subsumed into a mongrel entity like the European Union. By contrast, NAFTA appears to be an effective customs union without the Brussels-like superstructure. 1 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Then it will be worrying. Boris and Donald in power. Scary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
