Lets put a little hypothetical scenario forward, after a meeting of the government they find that to leave the EU would be to the detriment of this country and its future, do you think for one minute they would consider the referendum vote or what the people wanted? or that the result could not be overturned?


Well, Jeremy certainly fooking well wouldn't !!!!!!!!!

Was it not the master of deceit Nigel Farage who said if the vote was close we should hold another referendum? as to the uninformed, who are they? are they the ones that believed immigration would stop and the day after the result were expecting all EU nationals to be kicked out, or those that believed the mythical £350 million would be spent on the NHS or feared an invasion of gun toting Turks, transparent lies to play on the gullible and uninformed, as I wrote earlier the second biggest reason given for voting out was immigration, the uninformed might be surprised to learn that the government is now considering doing a deal that would still allow free movement, do you think those that cast their vote on the basis of reducing immigration will be happy, will they feel betrayed, I think you know the answer.

My vote was never about any of that
This countrys totally corrupt from the queen down
Anything they tell u to do...do the opposite
The EU is a massively money suckin country destroying monster out of control
People who listen to any uk media are dumb
Theyre puppets to corporate power
I dont think you understood my answer
If you voted to REMAIN you are un informed
Go on david noakes site eutruth co uk
Theres 50 reasons to leave on there...not many to do with mainstream 350 million nhs money or migration in there.
Anyone who believed itll all change over night is a moron too
Although david icke has mad ideas ....one thing is true he says is the press pick some BS to feed us & go on and on and on
Remain was no different
Theres loads of BS on both sides....i take my views from personal experience and diff info streams

Casper, you should know full well, that Nigel Farage was not in a position to announce such a thing. You should also know that Boris said there would NOT be a second referendum. What lies did Farage give ? Turks have not yet been allowed to join the EU, so we don't know what will happen, but we have a pretty good idea. SO far as the Government making plans of doing a deal for free movement. We haven't got a Government yet, as I write ! The £350million, was the Brexit group, not Nigel Farage. He didn't put that forward.UKIP were independent of the official Brexit camp. You obviously are getting everyone and everything mixed up because it suits your agenda.

Apparently some of us are far more informed than others, and from your point of view, if you are opposed to more immigration, why did you not vote Brexit, and why are you complaining about others who did ?

Answer that my old chum smile

Oh here comes Boris to No 10 ...He he, you won't like that either.

Hi granny, let me explain my comments, it matters not who said what, Farage, Brexit they all went along with what was being said, they all denied being part of the outrageous claims being made (it wasn't me gov) afterwards, but were quite happy to ride along on the back of the deceit because it suited their agenda, as for Farage, he wasn't in a position to stand up at the EU and practically tell them we wouldn't be doing any deals with them, but he did.
I have never said I am against immigration what I said was immigration should be controlled, no open door policy, the reason I bang on about immigration is that it was the second biggest reason being given for voting out, how many votes would that equate to for leaving? all those people that voted purely on that issue alone are going to be extremely displeased and disappointed if we do a free movement deal, if you recall the day after the vote it was being said we might have to come to some sort of an agreement on free movement, we have had the same response a few times since, that is somewhat different to what was being said during the campaign, one might even say it was misleading! I think it was svenlock that mentioned the uninformed, he was indeed right, those that voted leave on the basis of the wild claims being made, and no doubt the same uniformed will vote for the um party again on the basis of Theresa May's equality for all speech. liar

However you are right about Boris depiffle, just what we need the Charlie Chaplin of politics to represent our country, in the immortal words of John McEnroe "you cannot be serious." Oh just remembered did you mention that Boris said there would not be a second referendum, mmm was that before the government was formed? smile

Casper, I have watched just about every videoed speech that Farage the MEP, has made in the EU Parliament. I could probably tell you most of them word for word, and I know what he has said , when he has said it and how he has said it.

Most people who voted Brexit, with a view on immigration nearly all said they wanted 'control of our borders'. Which is what the Brexit team were campaigning for and what you are in favour of. Control of our borders. That in one instance means we won't be bullied by Germany or anyone else to take the numbers that they deem fit for us to either offer refugee status , or to continue to have EU member states empty out from their own country and end up here.
You need to look at the populations and increases in all the EU countries. UK have increased most rapidly of all in the last few years so I think border control, is perfectly reasonable . Let us make our own minds up as to whom and when and why they come.. We have taken our fare share and when Germany's population has shrunk by one million in the same period , ours has increased by about 4 million, it is a concern. UK population 2005 = 60.4 million (2005) UK population 2015= 64,308,261.The third most populated country in the EU. The media constantly barraged the Brexit team about immigration, and made the most despicable claims, trying to put a different slant on it, as if it was the only issue to be discussed, which it wasn't.
I think you are jumping the gun ,Casper. No one, apart from the shit stirring media, has said anything definite yet with regard to anything involving our exit.

With regard to the £350 million that keeps cropping up, yet again the media, particularly the BBC condemned and twisted, but let us read another opinion by Professor Tim Congdon. Not an MP, not a Government official, not a banker, a perfectly independent opinion.

Britain sends a contribution to EU institutions under the treaties we have signed with the other EU Member States. The highest number that’s appeared in official documents of payments to the EU is a gross contribution of a bit over £20 billion. Now, if you divide £20 billion by 52, of course you get a figure that is about £350 million a week. But this figure is somewhat misleading, because some of that gross contribution we don’t really pay. There is a rebate, which was negotiated by Margaret Thatcher in 1984, and the highest figure that we have paid in any one year in the past is £17 billion, which is about £330 million a week. That was in 2013, according to one definition of these matters.

[color:#6633FF]The figure put out by Vote Leave, £350 million, is an exaggeration in that sense, and not the truth. But it’s an exaggeration founded in fact


N.B.Founded on Fact

Boris wouldn't escape your forked tongue would he ? We all have our personal opinions about various politicians, but that's ones prerogative.
Personally, I am unable to remember any other deceit,or lies at the moment ,other than the deceit and lies delivered from the Remain camp. Why Casper, do you want to stay in the EU, give me 3 reason, because so far I don't think you have made that clear. My reason for voting Brexit was that I don't trust the EU, I don't believe in the EU and felt that we need to rule ourselves from Westminster rather than continuing along the road of no return to be totally Governed by foreigners from countries who have never even experienced true democracy. Sorry but that's not for me, even if you fancy the idea but I believe if you are absolutely honest, you too would not wish such change and loss of identity for your grandchildren.

Now I am going to listen to the reports of this dreadful atrocity in France. Yet another one.

Granny, at least we agree on immigration, but to reiterate is this what we are going to get? was it not one of the main promises made? I looked closely at the Switzerland and Norway deals, in my opinion both fall short of a good deal
both include free movement and schengen plus sums of money being paid in,and various rules and regulations they must observe,so to all intents and purposes they are still dancing to the EU tune without any of the benefits, another one being bandied about is TTIP the EU are going to do a deal, are they? if we are to seek a trade agreement with the USA it would be logical to assume that TTIP would be part of any deal, so we are between the proverbial rock and hard place, do you in all honesty believe the EU are going to grant us a better deal than Switzerland and Norway? if they did the consequences would be dire for the very existence of the EU with countries clamoring for a similar deal, so in my mind what are the benefits of leaving, a reduced membership with no say and still paying the piper.

PS I'am a bit hurt about the forked tongue bit, but i still love you wink

Oh yee of little faith. Norway and Switzerland, as you say, are part of the Schengen agreement. That does not become part of our deal. So far as TTIP is concerned, if it should continue to involve us, then in or out we would have been no better off. At least we might have an option. Don't forget, TTIP is highly directed towards Service Industries. What does that mean for this country. We are run on Service Industries
( Mr Blairs contribution to agreement within the Lisbon treaty I believe , although it could have been a different treaty as he signed away so much hoping for positions in high places.)

I actually believe that we can make a brilliant return and the world won't turn it's back. There are already foreign companies making commitments to continue to work with and along side industry here.

There were never success stories from those who were prepared to 'go with the flow' for self preservation.

We are having the whole countries woes being based on what London wants. House prices falling. SO what ? it the holiday season , no one's looking. Prices slashed in shops, we always did have July sales. These are fear factor points which apparently began to take hold a week after Brexit. Lies and deceit, lies and deceit. What's more, does it matter if the property prices fall ? Surely that is a good thing for giving some of the young generation a more realistic opportunity of buying their own home, instead of paying hiked up rents to property rogues and admin fees to estate agents who are being absorb into European companies. Just like everything else. The greedy so and so's who we all dislike.. That's what EU does best Casper, it manages to take over and absorb businesses into one massive company, and not UK owned. Taxes paid into the big EU pot.

Not sure if I still love you Casper. Thought I should let you down gently.

Australia has called for a free trade deal with Britain following its exit from the European Union.

Dr Fox, a prominent Brexit campaigner, said numerous non-EU countries had already asked Britain for a trade deal and he was "scoping about a dozen... to be ready for when we leave


Back of the queue hey Mr Obama ???

Don't count your chickens---Owen Smith with a vote grabbing statement

On Brexit, he says politicians should be "brave enough" to keep testing public opinion as negotiations develop, hinting again that he would back the possibility of a second referendum on EU membership.

"We should test drive" what Brexit means for the UK, before "rubberstamping", he says.
