I agree tux,heath or Wilson were totally f***ed with whatever they did,a million people unemployed.
Heath himself I think put 2.5 billion into the economy with little or no effect.

And we have the same situation now only magnified massively.
The Brexit Vote has done two things.
Firstly, it's made a lot of people on both sides very unhappy (divide and rule).
Secondly, it's deflected from the only real problem that affects us all, the corrupt financial system that has been forced upon us for many many years now. And the kicker is, it'll only get worse for all of us.

Brexit has given 'hope' to some and put 'the willies' up others but it really isn't that big a deal in the grand scheme (regardless of what many would like to think). It's a distraction, plain and simple. A distraction from the real problems that we ALL face and will continue to unless things change. And all the while we bicker amongst ourselves, 'the elite' are rubbing their hands.
Sadly, i'm not sure who the bigger cunds are tbh. Many who believe that their vote really matters (either way) or the elite who are laughing their f'kin heads off with the situation they've purposely created.

Thank you, jamiemartin721, the expert on constitutional law. I'm glad you, other like-minded remainers, as well as the whole host of celebrities, experts and international leaders are able to expose this level of ignorance before we vote in the referendum. We'd be stuffed if we actually ended up with a leave result (I know, unlikely, right?!), and then 5 months down the line discovered that all those experts and online remain warriors didn't tell us it wouldn't be implemented, unless passed in a heavily remain-leaning parliament!

After all, wouldn't it be embarrassing if those on both sides didn't, at any point leading up to the referendum, mention that this decision would still be bounced back to parliament regardless?!

Just imagine if, for example, we'd blown £9m of taxpayer money on a leaflet telling every UK household that the referendum result would be implemented immediately? How embarrassing! And wouldn't it be so embarrassing if we'd gone to the trouble of flying the US President over (he's quite busy) to 'terrorfy' [sic] and scare the sh*t out of people, so they vote in what is essentially just an opinion poll! Gosh, that would be silly! At least now that we all know, politicians like the leader of the opposition won't do anything silly like suggest Article 50 should be invoked immediately, so as to negotiate an exit from the EU!

I'll be sure to bookmark your post, so that 5 months from now, just in case, I can stop all the bickering on here, and say: "hey, guys! ignorance is no excuse! This constitutional expert called it well before the referendum even took place!! Stop pandering to press 'irresponsibility' [sic] in reporting how 'parlimenary' [sic] democracy works!!".

Oh, wait.

I believe Jamie voted to leave. At least, that's what he said on here.

Yes but my point still stands. The most UKIP have ever had support wise for a poll is 24%. Which to me says 76% weren't so bothered about a referendum.

You'll be able to back that up with figures, right? The percentage of those voting Conservative, because they were assured a referendum on the EU, that's 0%, right? Cite your sources, please.

Excellent post. And no doubt, the financial sector will be offered further 'incentives' not to leave the UK now.

As Hague and Osborne have both recently said, 'Austerity (ie QE)' was completely the wrong way to go. No s***!
Taking from the poor to subsidise the mistakes of the greedy rich can never be right yet they still done it.
And us, the people, just accept it. That's the saddest part of all for me

I believe there's a ton of s-it on it's way (possibly as early as next week) and many 'normal' folk will once again be paying the price for the greed of a very small minority............of cunds.
I really hope i'm wrong, but looking at the economic 'stats', we're heading for a nightmare.

Increasing the money supply and austerity are not synonymous, and to which economic stats do you refer?

I'm sorry, but what are you saying?

If your point is that there was a criminal lack of clear direction before the vote, then I agree. However, that misdirection was from both sides of the debate.

I've noticed our weekly shopping bill has gone up a bit but can't point to any specific items.

Shopping bills and petrol prices have always fluctuated slightly.

I never said they were.
As for 'stats', pretty much every meaningful stat that matters. But you'll never hear that on the BBC etc etc.......

Well you said in a post above - austerity i.e. QE. It's difficult to know what you mean without a source.

You are welcome. Although its more a fact that I'm currently doing a OU unit on Constitutional Law. It was mentioned quite a few times before the referendum that the UK would require an act of parliament to leave the EU.

But everyone was too focused on arguing it would be a wonderland of dreams or an apocalypse of doom, and w**king themselves silly over their fantasy of the UK, rather than being interested in the reality.

You did say:

Quote

That definitely implies either you think they are the same thing, or you think Hague and Osborne do?

Would also be interested in what economic stats you're referring to. The BBC is not my source of economic news and the economic stats I see are mostly mixed, rather than pointing one direction clearly.

There are people who have to deal in the details and then there are those who are visionary and think beyond all that. We need both types.

Being a visionary can include bad projections as well as good. There have been plenty of 'visionaries' giving their two penny worth already.

Hard details are needed more than ever now, before we pull the plug.

Lest we do a UK/Charlton and the EU/Curbishley impression.

You remoaners have made your position clear. You don't respect democracy. You are also dumb because you are in effect fighting for globalisation which is not in the interest of the people you claim to care so much about.

Quite agree. Except I think we had the visionary types only, whilst the details men on both sides, seemed to have been kept out of the picture.

The impact of leaving the EU and the single market - the world's second largest economy - will be felt much more by those that can least afford it Hrolf.

I get the impression you are not one of them.
