There was a flypast of spitfires as the sun rose this morning. I turned on my cold tap and good old british ale came out instead of water and non indigenous birds such as parakeets left the nests they stole from British birds to allow more nightingales to sing sweetly once again.

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.

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.

It's called democracy, in its purest and most unalloyed form. At least 17m people don't agree with you.

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.

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.

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.

Enough of the name calling young man! just accept differences of opinion.

Yes, he is the sole beneficiary of this result.

If his name had been bought into the pre-referendum discussions, ballot papers bearing a cross in the bottom option would have been in a serious minority.
