EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

London is an international city, and we want to remain at the heart of Europe.
Let's face it - the rest of the country disagrees

No no. Insular arrogance has failed as a tactic. Time to leave it behind and acknowledge the rest of the country.

can we acknowledge the rest of the country as insular and a bit thick? considering they align their opinions with the likes of farrage and johnson, i can safely say i don't want anything to do with them.

speaking of whom - how exactly will the next leader of the toryscum party be selected?

Behind doors in that neighbour just next Trafalgar Sq.

If only those 4 lions could talk...

The new Conservative leader candidates will be selected by the existing 331 MPs via ballots until the final candidates are found, then the vote is opened up to the all Conservative party members...

cheers chaps. presumably that will lead to a coterie of embittered cameronites spending the rest of their worthless political careers trying to get whoever gets elected sacked.

probably not tho.

Nope. Cos Manchester, Oxford, Cambridge, Bristol, St Albans and others all had a higher remain vote than London and most had a higher turnout.

If London had turned out and voted like Cambridge did there would have been about 600,000 more remain votes.

This would have made fuck all difference, but it's still London's fault. You lot made Boris.

I wonder how many people under 30 could of voted but didn't ?

I'm sorry to contradict you but it's not worthless... for some it worth a hell of a lot.

Cameron anyway did good... he served his boss as commanded and he is coming out clean at the right moment washing his hands from what comes next, who comes next will be a sacrificial lamb, which is fine in their world because he's not voted by general election.

^^ hnnnnnng

the bbc made boris johnson. the cunts.

Being trolled by France; it has begun

That qualifies me, do you know if my wife could qualify too (solely via marriage)?

My understanding is that if you both live in Érie for 3 years, she can become a citizen.

I may of course be wrong.

getting together things for my passport application now.

Do you also get to throw people through an opening in the floor?

This 'Independence for London' bollocks is the kind of smug, self-serving egotism which makes everyone hate the 'metropolitan elite', and feeds into the idea that London and Westminster don't understand the rest of the country.

Do me a favour, everyone who has posted that, call them a cunt and tell them that Manchester, Liverpool, South Cambridgeshire, Scotland, and the other 48% of the population also count. London wasn't the only place that feels let down, but this sense of superiority is even more insufferable than the people genuinely in a hopeless-seeming situation voting for something they hope can bring a change.

So who do we want out of all these cunts? Johnson, may or Osborne?

Fuck me sideways that's a bleak choice.

Fuck it, I'm moving to Sweden.

Cue Swexit

1. Just as a matter of interest, not all the over sixty fives voted for Brexit - I didn't, and the only person I know who did was my daughter's grandfather in law (i.e. her children's great grandfather), but he is insane.

2. Just because the European bigwigs say they want us to leave quickly, they are not necessarily speaking the truth (remember Claud Cockburn's (google him) maxim: 'Never believe anything until it's been officially denied'). I think we can expect a severe economic spanking (devaluation of sterling followed by higher interest rates leading to unemployment and mortgage foreclosures; then, having been brought to heel, a second referendum (compare the Danes and Maastricht).

3. And this is my real reason for bothering to post: The Labour Party comes out of this very badly. I am a former member and Labour Councillor (1994-98), but I believe the party should now wind itself up. The last time Labour actually did any good was the 1966-70 government when H.Wilson managed to resist US demands for support in Vietnam (compare T. Blair /Iraq).
   The Tories have never recently achieved a majority vote in general elections, so it is clear that most voters don't want them. Labour has made a terrible mess of things and has alienated its core vote all over the place, but a new party of the left will never get any traction while Labour still exists. Let it do the decent thing and fall on its sword. Then we'll see what develops - it can hardly be worse.

Cue Swexit

Yeah, apparently Sweden is the next highest population that want to leave (mostly because, as a nation, they are a bunch of weird OCD Asperger types who like being tidy, never making smalltalk, and being quite astoundingly racist). However, once they see the royal fucking that the UK is going to get in the upcoming 'negotiations' they'll probably change their mind.

can we acknowledge the rest of the country as insular and a bit thick? considering they align their opinions with the likes of farrage and johnson, i can safely say i don't want anything to do with them.

Yeah that will work for you if you'd like a continued rise of the right.

Or perhaps hear, see, (live?) some of the shit in the poorer rural areas if you're keen to understand.

I voted remain btw. I'm not crazy.
