My Filipino wife voted Remain but seemingly followed her rich employers' advice and ignored mine. They say they'll leave the country if Brexit won. Why? Life won't change much at all. Doubt anyone will really notice that we're out.

I'm surprised that you have a wife who isn't 100% white British.

 

 

have you considered that Leave might have had an even bigger winning margin if she hadn't been killed?

Have you considered that because of this Referendum two children who are not even up to the age of six no longer have a mother and will have no recollection of their mum for the rest of their lives? also have you considered that because of this f***ing stupid Referendum Jo Cox couldn't live for six more days to see her 42nd birthday?

I am honestly rather embarassed to be in the North East Lincolnshire region today with such percentages, I truly am bred amongst some braindead prats.

I may as well change my profile flag as well seeing as England played the biggest part in this mistake of a decision.

How are you feeling about a Frexit? Marine scares me.

 

The thought of it makes me sick. But I somehow hope we can have a referendum too so YES can win and we can shut her mouth for good and build a stronger UE with Germany.

I was thinking of changing mine to Wales but they've not done us any good (Though my home city Cardiff were strongly remain).

:lol: i'm from the north of dorset! dreading work tomorrow as I know most of the locals will be celebrating :cry:

Poor you! At least im off work in spain today. I was hoping i could claim spanish citizenship by being out of the country when the result came through :lol:

 

I used to work round the roads in shaaaahfsbree and gillunum, know it well :lol:

Yep, and you just can't argue with the figures the financial times have provided here, it's not just some opinion. The frustration continues. I wonder how many leavers already regret their vote?

 

I think leave have proven that they aren't going let a little thing like concrete facts get in the way.

 

Personally the troubling thing for me is that, unlike Soctland, this is only going to cause even more of a f***ing MESS in Northern Irish politics. I am a Unionist, I've never been even remotely close to considering the alternative (either independence or a united Ireland) as viable or desirable, but I'd be hard pressed to vote to stay at this point. With the f***ing DUP trying their best to drag the country backwards coupled with the disgusting tone and divisions this has dragged up across the "United" Kingdom I can't imagine us being anything other than better off.

 

Also, same goes for Soctland. It's utterly untenable for them to remain at this stage. I wonder how the f*** YEAH BRITEN brigade are going to react when they realise they've essentially ripped the heart out of the UK and shat all over it. And for nothing.

yeah both of those towns have been INCREDIBLY campaigning for leave : :mellow: I've only seen ONE remain poster in gillingham compared to soso many leave signs :( so many people were walking about with leave badges as well.... I thought I was just living in a crazy part of the country but still can't believe they got their way :(

I'm curious to see what you end up thinking about this. I'm personally a bit worried about what happens in the event that a vote to leave the UK becomes a real prospect in NI. It's pretty peaceful now because people have kind of... gotten over how things are, but when you give nationalists the chance to change the status quo and unionists the fear that they'll have to defend it, suddenly people have something to fight over again.

 

Economically I'm not sure what's for the best - if NI sticks with the UK I think the UK will need to do a lot to make up for the loss of EU funding, so leaving the UK sounds good. There's just so much danger to trying to do that though, as asking unionists to abandon England is a terrifying prospect. And imagine if there was a referendum on leaving and the vote was as close as the UK's vote to leave the EU?

Why? Do Portugal blame the EU for their irrelevance?

 

The EU is nothing more these days than a terrorist organization being puppeteered by Germany. The values it upheld 30 years ago are long gone.

 

...

 

Do you know what terrorism is?

....a TERRORIST organisation??? are you sure?

Yes I do, and there are many forms of terrorism.

Explain what terrorism is pleas.

Go on then.

Imagine if Donald Trump becomes President Of USA at the end of the year as well! That would wrap up what has been a bad year for the world in general.

Can we not.

Truthfully the peace here is incredibly fragile anyway, so it wouldn't take a lot to tip it over the edge again. I'd be a little worried about that anyway given how the vote was split down traditional lines anyway. Of of use the truth is given the utter lack of ability for anything meaningful to happen here at a pace faster than glacial, it's unlikely anything would actually happen.

 

On a simply economic argument, it is difficult to argue that NI wouldn't be better off being part of the UK. Without Scotland that argument loses some weight though what with North Sea Oil etc. Up until now it's largely been that that has been the strongest factor in my strong unionist stance. However the ideology of this debate and the inevitable consequences are pretty much against everything I stand for socially speaking. Then when you see something like the wonderful, peaceful, uplifting Irish referendum last year on SSM it does pose a genuine question.

Go on then.

 

Its all fine and wonderful if you're part of the inner circle, from France's perspective, the EU must seem lovely. But try living in Portugal and then we'll talk. Different realities, different measures for each country, and there's definitely a form of finantial terror used by the EU.
