European Union Vote

[Fester]

Ha!  Boris Johnson back peddling like mad this morning, suddenly 'Immigration isn't the big problem',  'no rush to trigger article 50',  'period of stability needed', plus loads more. I thought I was listening to David Cameron.
Leave voters already being sold down the river?

[Merddin Emrys]

Immigration was the main reason I and many others voted leave, especially after the idiot Merkel let that lot in to Germany! I was on the fence until the last minute with voting, I want the points system so only those useful to the UK are allowed in.

The petition now stands at 3,653,323 signatures

You can see how many people where you live have signed the petition for a second EU referendum.

Well, they've changed their minds now mate, but you can't   
Noticed the impact on your shares ME?  Down 80p in 2 weeks.   
It was all so predictable.

It just gets worse with Jeremy Corbyn

Yes have noticed the GVC share price, not good, but so many said you must vote, blah, blah, I would have liked a 3rd option for remain but with many reforms! As it was we did not know who to believe so thought, let's have a change! I'm sure the share price will recover!

It's a bizarre situation, with Corbyn having overwhelming support form the party members, yet pretty much no support from his own MPs.

... and the list of possibilities for next Prime Minister is even worse!

Shares go up and down so just hold tight ME.       You are luckier than I was,  I had ordinary shares in Bradford and Bingley and when they went bust and the Government bailed them out I was told by the Government that those shares were worth nothing.
I bet the Chairman of the B &B Bank got a fat bonus despite the damage caused, myself I'd have liked to have given him a fat lip.

The online petition in question requires an active email address and you have to verify that by clicking on a link in an email they send you.

Anyone can set up 20 or 30 email addresses in an hour if they want to, even if they have to verify the address to activate it.

But 3000? Lot of trouble to go to for what seems a very little reward.

Will of the people, will of the people, waaaaah waaaaah waaaah   

This is all I hear about from the leavers!

The will of the 'people' was misguided and plain wrong. It shouldn't have been put in their hands in the first place.
What exactly do we pay politicians for?

If something goes wrong with my Gas supply I get an expert out to fix it, that's because that's the safest thing to do. What I don't do is get everyone in my street together and do a survey on how best we all think it should be fixed and then plough right ahead with whatever decision we collectively make.

Forget a 2nd referendum the so called government need to have the footballs to do what they know is best and forget this idiotic vote ever happened.

It’s not over yet. A law that passed last year to set up the EU referendum said nothing about the result being binding or having any legal force. “Sovereignty” – a much misunderstood word in the campaign – resides in Britain with the “Queen in parliament”, that is with MPs alone who can make or break laws and peers who can block them. Before Brexit can be triggered, parliament must repeal the 1972 European Communities Act by which it voted to take us into the European Union – and MPs have every right, and indeed a duty if they think it best for Britain, to vote to stay.

At last, some has had the backbone to write what we are all thinking, believing and longing for.

I'm impressed.

I'm surprised at you Born to Run,  always a man of democracy and of 'the people'
The People have spoken, and even though I agree it's a travesty, it is what it is, and must be managed to its conclusion.
