Ok

So the hysteria is settled

What do we think?

I'm very happy I wanted to remain

When the good people believed £350 million a week was going to nhs

And immigration would stop

'Told ya'

So

My holiday company went bust preventing me from taking my children away

And when I travel to Europe the £ vs euro is pretty much like for like

Way to go

Just like to point out that the holiday company that went bust relocated to Spain before it did so that it could escape its obligations and wasn't ATOL protected anymore. This all happens ed before Brexit.

I'm still happy with how I voted and think it was absolutely the right way to vote. I still think a massively poor decision has been made, but that's democracy for you - fuckwits get a vote too. That said, I'm not in favour of trying to block it, trying to call for a second referendum etc - I'd like attentions to be focused on trying to make it not the absolute fucking farce it looks like it could end up being. Oh, and accepting that absolutely nothing will get done by this government for the next 4 years as all attentions are on brexit.

I don't think it was the best thing for this country, but then this isn't my country so whatever.

I have lost a substantial amount of money because of the drop in the value of the pound relative to the dollar, though. So personally it's been a disaster.

Then some changes may be possible, but they'll have to be done by whatever government feels is appropriate for winning the following election.

I think if the voted now the vote be 80/20 to stay,I live in france now and the exchange rate is crap but i invested in japanmore than three years ago and thats going through the roof just now so swings and roundabouts.

Well it would be the same result, but instead of being 52ish% to leave and 48ish% to remain, it would be a much higher % to leave and much lower to remain.

No. There never should have been one in the first place but there was, the wrong decision was made, and now we have to get on with not trying to not fuck everything up because some people felt disenfranchised and voted to make themselves even more so.

Of course there should have been a referendum! What a bizarre thing to argue against!

How can you deny the people a vote? Letting the people decide was a very fair thing to do.

For too long, the public have complained that politicians were out of touch with real people and took us into wars that we didn't want.

This time, at long last the people got to choose.

Just because you don't like the outcome, you cannot deny the people a say.

And this is why we shouldn't have had a referendum. It was a referendum on "should Britain remain in the EU" not "are politicians out of touch, am I pissed off I can't get a council house, did I disagree with the Iraq War, am I afraid of the fact there's now a Polish aisle in the supermarket".

Nothing you mentioned in your post is any of what you were supposed to be voting on.

So a decision that's being taken with regard to the NHS, by British politicians, which the EU has no power over whatsoever, is the reason you voted to give more power to those same British politicians so they can take more decisions like that? Aye.

That's the same argument we're having near us. Should the local maternity ward be saved. On the one hand, for the vast majority of births, the local option is easiest for the users, albeit more expensive. But when things go wrong, there are no experienced consultants and the delay caused by the transfer to the main hospital means final outcomes are far worse.

the potential problem with this is that it could all go pear shaped and the journey to the maternity unit may be longer due to a lack of funding for road's etc or further as its been moved..

the NHS has been in the state its in albeit to a lesser degree for many years, certainly before our Dave handed Nigel a trump card with the referendum..

You haven't.

What you have done is show that you didn't actually understand what you were voting for, because you didn't understand the role of the U.K. Parliament vs the EU in areas which affect you the NHS. Which takes me back to my original point, which is that there never should have been a referendum in the first place.

Oh ok. But you just said further up it wasn't about money. And our country doesn't get told by the EU what it can spend. If the government wants to put more money into the NHS it can do so, just as it has always been able to do.

Overwhelming LEAVE. They are the ones who feel so disenfranchised and still have a sense of entitlement that they are BRITISH and foreigners should not have as much as or more than they have in what after all "is not their country."

The working class would never fully take advantage of the freedoms of the EU and as second language ability is generally poor, even if a recession came to the UK - few would feel inclined to travel to Europe to look for opportunity.

Yes, but with good reason as the feminist party is destroying sweden slowly.

It was a pants decision. A pants referendum, with Ill informed voters.. Too much suggestion rather than fact being banded around. Personally I think it was too big a decision to throw open to a public unaware of the implications... But it's done... And so is sterling for the time being.

Onward and upward now.

And immigration would stop

My holiday company went bust preventing me from taking my children away

And when I travel to Europe the £ vs euro is pretty much like for like

Way to go

Nobody ever said that the money was going to the NHS

They said that money could be invested in other areas ---- like the "NHS"

Yes you are right but we don't all think the same way also if too many people get involved with our exit from the EU we will never agree on anything but I think there should be someone from each party involved to give a bit of balance to decisions made.

Would you like a 2nd refferendom ?"

We've just had a second referendum on BREXIT. Do you mean a third one.

Either way my answer is NO. Referendum never solve anything, create massive decision and the actual result is difficult to interpretate. For example we have a vote to leave the EU but does that also mean we leave the single market and customs union (Norway is not in the EU but is in the single market, Turkey is not in the EU but is in the customs union)

No. There never should have been one in the first place but there was, the wrong decision was made, and now we have to get on with not trying to not fuck everything up because some people felt disenfranchised and voted to make themselves even more so.

The people of west cumbria would like to not have to travel 50 miles to the nearest hospital and if voting out means they dont have to then so be it

Money money money is all most seem to be interested in these days

Oh and holidays and marmite

So a decision that's being taken with regard to the NHS, by British politicians, which the EU has no power over whatsoever, is the reason you voted to give more power to those same British politicians so they can take more decisions like that? Aye.

How does the eu have no power ?

Do they not tell our government what we can and cant spend money on ?

No they don't.

But, either way, in or out of the EU will make no difference. Except that if one way makes the country poorer and the other richer there will be more or less money to spend on the NHS.

It's early days still but, with the GBP (pound) being at it's lowest level in over 160 years, it doesn't look like BREXIT is making us richer or better of so far.

I must have missed it then because the EU has no say in how the NHS is run or funded. I simply don't understand your point.

The pound was always going to fall at some stage as the country has been consistently running a balance of payments deficit. It was always just a matter of timing.

"Of course there should have been a referendum! What a bizarre thing to argue against!

How can you deny the people a vote? Letting the people decide was a very fair thing to do.

For too long, the public have complained that politicians were out of touch with real people and took us into wars that we didn't want.

This time, at long last the people got to choose.

Just because you don't like the outcome, you cannot deny the people a say.

And this is why we shouldn't have had a referendum. It was a referendum on "should Britain remain in the EU" not "are politicians out of touch, am I pissed off I can't get a council house, did I disagree with the Iraq War, am I afraid of the fact there's now a Polish aisle in the supermarket".

Nothing you mentioned in your post is any of what you were supposed to be voting on. "

Exactly Ruby, well said. It's a c**t of a decision, and so frustrating how many used it to protest entirely different concerns.

Was very clear about my reasons for wanting out of the EU in this forum during the referendum campaign. Stop paying extortionate EU membership fees, make UK law supreme over EU law and stop the free movement of people from the EU, just a few of the many, many reasons why I voted leave.

Of course there were ignorant voters on both sides of the table.

But, since the average IQ of a UK resident is 100, and since most people with an IQ of about 100 are reasonably intelligent, I choose to have faith in the result of a referendum put to the UK public.

I have greater faith in the public than you. So, you were aware of the implications but other people were ignorant and stupid? Really?

Or could it just possibly be the opposite?

That's not what I said at all...

That is what it sounded like. Would you care to rephrase it?

If you read comments earlier up the thread about people's reasons for voting for brexit, it's clear many *were* completely ignorant of what they were actually voting on. Unless you also think it was the big bad EU which is closing maternity services at West Cumbria hospital?

I've read them, just as I have read the reasons given by the remainers.

It is quite clear to me that many brexiters were quite aware of the reasons for their choice.

And that it was nothing to do with maternity services at West Cumbria hospital.

Was very clear about my reasons for wanting out of the EU in this forum during the referendum campaign. Stop paying extortionate EU membership fees, make UK law supreme over EU law and stop the free movement of people from the EU, just a few of the many, many reasons why I voted leave. "

Same here

If you really think even a slight majority of voters (on either side, I'm sure there are ignorant, deluded remainers too) were voting on the real question asked then yes, you do have far more faith in the British public than I do. "

I have faith in my fellow cumbruans that do not want to have to travel half way across the north of england for treatment, the eu tells this country what they can and cant spend money on there for making it impossible to put money into the only rural hospital in west cumbria

Like i say i have faith in my fellow pheasants

No, it doesn't. Repeating it doesn't make it true.

No idea. I'm still not sure what you think the wall is going to achieve so I don't really know if it matters.

"Would I care to rephrase it indeed..... Do i get a detention too?"

No detention, as long as you write 100 times on the blackboard, "I will not assume that, because people have a different opinion, they are stupid."

And the marmite dispute has been resolved.

All is well with the world.

"I wonder what the vote statistics would be if only the lower class people of the country had a voice ?

I don't particularly give a fuck. No one is entitled to more of a voice than me, just as I'm not entitled to more of a voice than them (even though I should be).

Would you like a 2nd refferendom ?

No. There never should have been one in the first place but there was, the wrong decision was made, and now we have to get on with not trying to not fuck everything up because some people felt disenfranchised and voted to make themselves even more so.

The people of west cumbria would like to not have to travel 50 miles to the nearest hospital and if voting out means they dont have to then so be it

Money money money is all most seem to be interested in these days

Oh and holidays and marmite

So a decision that's being taken with regard to the NHS, by British politicians, which the EU has no power over whatsoever, is the reason you voted to give more power to those same British politicians so they can take more decisions like that? Aye.

How does the eu have no power ?

Do they not tell our government what we can and cant spend money on ?

No they don't.

Well sorry but they do in a round about way, the money we pay to the EU is British taxpayers money, and the EU is deciding how that money is spent not our sovereign parliament. "

Come on, that's a bit of a stretch even for you.
