The EU Referendum

I just find it REALLY curious that the larger percentage of the social/political groups who are going to be the ones most fucked over by the immediate results of Brexit, are the ones who voted for it, ie Labour voters. Explain that one, please!

This article has been floating around social media in the last couple of days, the fact that we'll now have to pay for travel visas within Europe.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but but surely when "We" voted for the abolition of free movement within Europe it was expected that free movement would be abolished?

Boris Johnson and David Davies have quit today. The Tories are about as divided over Brexit as the rest of the country.

They always were, as were the other parties.

The main problem is, and always has been, that the referendum was too broad - a simple yes or no vote on a subject which is far too nuanced. As a result, whatever ultimately happens, no-one will be happy.

I'm in favor of brexit.

the less countries that leech off our taxes, the better

Sorry to disappoint you, but we're on a nett loss in the EU, so the strain will be greater on member countries after we've gone.

We don't want in Vlad, we want out! Nothing has changed, nothing will change. My only remaining hope is that there is no deal and we don't pay the EU anything at all. I do not want to go to work to pay income tax for those in other countries. It's bad enough paying for the tired Brits....

According to the news, a no-deal Brexit would affect:

Not to mention the fact that a million Brits live on the mainland. According to the UN, the UK has the fifth highest expat population in the EU, after Poland, Romania, Germany and Italy.

The polls haven't really shifted in two years. That's quite incredible given all of the negative nonsense that we have to read.

The 51.9% speak for us all so shush your mouth boy.

Because we had a referendum to settle the matter. If it had gone the other way would 'leave' still have a voice?
