The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in CH

	Quote:
	Interesting how we're now seeing UK media vox pops and comments to the effect that "No-one warned us about this".

I've not seen anything of the sort. Most people knew the first years after Brexit would be tough. After all, anything that's worth having has it's price.

The biggest scandal about yesterday was the level of borrowing. Idiotic politicians taking money from their own children just so people will vote for them. And still people bang on about austerity. There is no austerity.

	Nigel Farage gets close to top billing on the BBC website today: Nigel Farage warns of 'seismic shock' if Brexit not delivered http://www.bbc.com/news He seems to command as much BBC attention as government ministers. No trace of him on CNN's Europe page: http://edition.cnn.com/europe Also on the BBC front page but in a less prominent position: Euro MPs vote to freeze Turkey EU membership talks How will the Brexiteers spin that, after waving the spectre of Turkey's EU membership?

This was a LeaveEU event whereas the rival organisation Vote Leave was designated by the Electoral Commission on 13 April 2016 as the official referendum campaign in favour of leaving the EU.
Vote Leave never invited Farage to join them and the two groups often sniped at each other.
Leave EU is staying active but as far as I know Vote Leave has closed down.

Looking at this, I wonder if anyone thought to tell Farage that Ferraro Rocher are Italian?

	And Chancellor Philip Hammond said Mr Farage should not "hold his breath" if he expected a call for him to help with UK-US relations.

I really wish he would.....

	Schulz probably feels he needs to get back into a steady post in Germany.

If he is replaced by Mairead McGuinness it might help the negotiations as she is from the NI border area.

But you won't be paying it.

When I lived down South, that would have been 1 months rent.
As it stands, that's 4 months mortgage on my house up North.

That figure is enough to be significant to a whole swathe of people.

Every household isn't going to get a bill through the door you know? It's just going to come out of people's already extortionate taxes.

£1250 to leave the EU is a deal when compared to the amount that gets frittered away on the NHS, Idle, Overseas Aid, Sport and Culture etc. etc.

But everyone needs to stop worrying because the Daily Mail is losing its tiny mind over the £32 million windfall post Brexit.

It's a shame we don't have Mrs Thatcher as PM, you could be sure wastage would be cut, not this continual borrowing of extra money thats bizarrely dubbed austerity.

We can't live on perceived 'past glories' and do a Lazarus on Maggie.

We're stuck with 'Spreadsheet Phil and The Egotistical Charlatans' doing a two year Farewell tour of Europe before embarking on their World 'Begging Bowl' tour.

We should relocate Parliament to Churchill's Bunkers for the next three years whilst Westminster is tarted up, link up the air con to their public approval ratings, anyone who can't be wedged into to bunkers must attend compulsory video conferences from a cave, and only when we all approve of the progress made, should the wizened creatures be allowed to see the sun again.
