Because she's an interviewer without substance. The £350m a week figure was shown to be inaccurate early in the campaign and Leave dropped it, tacitly admitting it to be so. So why harp on about it now? And for her to suggest that that claim influenced people's voting intentions is, frankly, an insult to the intelligence. Wasn't widely reported though was it, unless you can show me otherwise.

Pound down ten percent. Bet loads of city types lost money yesterday. Bloody polls. Coming over here and getting predictions wrong! Will be light trading (light volume) overnight. Expected a bounce and there was one as soon as Carney spoke. A bounce of 50% back to the high last night.

I predict that in a few months time you will be one of the very few still admitting to have voted out. We have just committed collective suicide. I am deeply ashamed of my fellow citizens this morning. I truly thought we were better than that. I knew that there were many selfish prats, and some who really believed we would be better off outside the EU, but I could not imagine it being a majority. The most depressing, shameful day of my 72 years. Edited by Wisbech Eagle (24 Jun 2016 9.56am)
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

Guilt as charged.

The UK market is down, but European markets have taken it even worse. I suspect some kind of bounce, but I don't think it will return immediately. I think the UK will be financially or economically weaker if it completely leaves the European trade agreement. What we need now is coherence, sensibly and a pulling togeather of the nation behind what was one of the first really democratic decisions of the UK in its history. I think now is the time to secure how we will progress outside of the EU, and notably how we as the to deliver on the reasons why people voted to leave - most significant of these is freedom of movement and delivering stability and employment with fair wages into working class areas, which were very vocal in their decision to leave. Its not a thing to celebrate, I don't see it as something won by Leave, but a representation of what the people want and desire.

Farage has said on Good Morning Britain today that £350 million won't be going to the NHS and that 'it was a mistake to say that' The backtracking started before the official result had even been declared, with Nigel Farage saying the £350 million NHS claim was a ‘mistake’. Official Leave campaign adverts on posters and buses claimed: ‘Let’s give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week’ and ‘We send the EU £350 million a week, let’s fund our NHS instead’. But speaking on Good Morning Britain, the Ukip leader said he could not guarantee it would be possible and the Leave campaign should not have said it. Susanna Reid, questioning him, asked: ‘That’s why many people have voted! You’re saying after 17 million people have voted for Leave – and that (advert) was a huge part of the propaganda. Shown as the shallow popularist that he is. A say anything politician. Of course its irrelevant because he's not in a position to say how that money will be spent.

Exactly, and it shows just how divorced party politics is from the people and why we can only truly achieve representation through a proportional representation. If left to General Elections, this would never have occurred.

(Caroline Lucas MP) Yes of course Caroline Lucas, 'The prospect of shutting down the right to free movement is frightening.' We were all frightened when we didn't have free movement and couldn't cope or understand why we never had it. There are things such as Visa's and passports you ignorant ***. The floodgates opened in 2004. The housing crisis started hitting the headlines in 2005 ish. No plans for housing were made then and still aren't now. I'm not saying free movement instantly impacted on housing because the initial migration stats were low, but that gave the remainers a chance to say the AVERAGE immigration figures were x and not 330,000 and rising.

How many of those 17million really looked into the issues before making an informed decision rather than relying on hyperbole. As I've said, I accept the result and came very close to voting leave myself, but for very different reasons than most I expect. But now is not the time for 'told you so's.' No one wants things to go tits up for purposes of one upmanship. It's time to think about the way forward now and discuss what we want an 'independent' UK to look like. Do we want one that genuinely looks after the interests of Joe public or one that is just more of the same austerity and siphoning of cash from have nots to tyhe haves? To look on the bright side, it's a real opportunity to exact change for the benefit of all UK citizens. Sadly, if we see the same old neoliberals taking the rudder, I can't see it happening.
