Quite agree.

Not really a major issue, given that freedom of movement hasn't been around that long. The big change was the easy of employment in different countries. Back before freedom of movement, you could easily travel around and visit European countries with ease. The only real impact is that without it, corporate exploitation of poorer EU countries to undermine working class people in the wealthier nations.

I'd be very worried however if I was a landlord. The rental and buy to let market is directly threatened by the prospect of an eventual decline in temporary working migrants. This has been keeping the housing market high. After all, if we end EU migration and phase out EU workers from the UK is going to mean several million less people renting in the UK - which could have big issues for home owners, people who own investment in property portfolios and especially landlords.

Of course its good news for people who don't own properties or have paid off the majority of their mortgage.

True to an extent, but there were still many who believed the hyperbole.

Still no sign of your assertion that the NHS claim was dismissed pre referendum...

I take it you concur with my last couple of paragraphs in that we need to pull together now the decision is made and look for the best way forward.

Nonsense. Poll data, pre-referendum.

Please stop, the campaign is over.

Optimistic as ever

What he said was:

1. He wasn't part of that side of the leave campaign.

2. The money saved there for a number of things. He included the NHS. This part has been left out.

What we will see in years to come are the lies told by Dave, George, all the debating group, Amber Rudd, the business leaders thinking only of short-term dividends in their 10 acre properties and to hell with the British people and the politicians whose only focus is GDP, not quality of life.

You don't remember the hoo ha over the no-mark MP (Wollaston) switching sides because of this?

Definitely came up in here.

I thought you'd go for something more weighty than breakfast TV, with a non-MP.

BBC news had some good stuff. "4 hours in - we're not under military attack and have still got the triple lock on pensions..."

Optimistic as ever

It was the headline reason she gave for switching.And the campaign she left goes on to clarify the £350m.

You're clutching at straws if you think this wasn't made very clear pre-vote.

Optimistic as ever

'Appease the working classes in badly affected areas by setting up an immigration dividend fund to build Libraries and Leisure Centres'

(Caroline Lucas MP)

Fcuk me what a solution....... read a book or go for a swim to blow those immigration worries away!

What a depressing day. I think both choices were hard choices, Remain because it meant continuing to expose the UK to new people and ideas, and in so doing make it stronger and more competitive. Leave is hard because while the decision means an attempt to co**** the country socially, it will now have to negotiate all manner of treaties while at the same time having fewer resources with which to do it as companies withhold or withdraw investment. The government has been pretty useless at what they are currently doing, so giving it a whole lot more to do at a time of increased uncertainty only seems to mean the outcome will be worse.

And he's back in the room!

Absolutely knackered. Stayed up all night.

Thank goodness we are leaving.

Had we remained by similar margin, it would have been because of the Scots and that minorities of central London.

The average English person across the country wanted out by quite a wide margin.

My wife now tells me our holiday will now cost £300 more because she didn't pay it yesterday. She should go and work for the Bank of England who were similarly complacent.
