EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

I for one welcome England's football results. As does Marseille.

It's in their interests to make it as unpleasant and as hard as possible, pour disencourage* les autres, to misquote Voltaire.

*Can't get this stupid thing to do accents - I know it should have an acute accent, but you'll just have to imagine it...

What you wrote wouldn't have an acute accent on any of the words, not least because 'disencourager' doesn't exist in French. (No acute accents on the endings of French infinitives.) It's «décourager» and the complete phrase should be «pour décourager les autres».

This is why we voted leave.

Québexit?

Canadian devolution thread >>>>>>>

So the UK loses its triple A credit rating yet Bojo insists the economy is under control and there's nothing to worry about?

Where do these guys get the gall to lie so openly in the face of incontrovertible facts?

I do have some sympathy for the England football team.

It's shite having to leave Europe against your will.

No point inventing your own new French words if you can't decide how they should be conjugated...

That is so bloody gorgeous! If I was a billionaire I would have make a DVD and send a copy to every middle englander. And a gold boxed one for the Royals.

You have seen these Hitler parodies before right?

Talking of Hitler parodies, who should be the next Tory leader?

As long as it's not Liam Fox.

It'll be Boris. It's bound to be Boris. He'll make a right royal mess of it, but he'll be forgiven because he's Boris.

Apparently the British People have spoken and don't want a dictatorshop. Yes, genius, no 2 billion peacemoney then (project only runs to 2020 btw) for Northern Ireland.

NI gov already confirmed some funds won't be given by Westminster.
Nationalism can go >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I just read this from an article on the Guardian about family discord:

"Now, because of petty quibbles with EU practice, my parents have
voted away my right to live and work in nearly 30 countries,” she
says. “Everything I’ve studied for, for as long as I can remember, has
been thrown away over false constructs of sovereignty and lies about
immigration. I am presumably one of the citizens who leave voters
thought they were winning the country back for. I don’t want their
toxic, pathetic little country, it is not mine. If I had anywhere else
to go I would burn my passport.”

Fortunately my extended family voted in, but the last couple of sentences nail how I feel. I hate England and the English.

Jeremy Hunt for PM?!?? #Idontwantotliveinthiscountryanymore

If only the 2 million EU immigrants who live here and are vital to the success of our society had been allowed to vote, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Will it be that bad? I think this vote sucks, but it was possible in the past to work in EU countries.

But you can forget about the EU study fees...full whack plz.

Some EU immigrants would have still voted out, cos ppl as a whole are idiots, but it may have swayed things yes.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/27/labour-hq-told-activists-to-avoid-immigration-issue-in-eu-campaign well that's smart...

(not blaming Labour here, it's the condemns that called and caused this shit, but surely a counterpoint leaflet would be ok...)
