Until a sustained period of time has elapsed, nobody will know whether leaving the EU is a good thing or a bad thing.

But I don't regret my vote - and if it offends you, then I pity you.

I see.  So you don't regret voting for lies.  How shallow your life must be.  No offence Rigo, but the only pity is to you.

No, I voted based on my personal preferences. I'm sure 33.5 million other people did the very same thing.

Not really, it's a referendum. You have a vote and you do whatever you like with it - not what your told to do by a handful of kuntz on this forum.

I don't personally give a monkeys if that vote effects anyone else, just like nobody else would give a monkeys if their vote effects me.

Whoosh!

Rigo.

Please take this in the spirit it is intended. This is not a barb. It's a heartfelt comment.

I don't know what demons you have been dealing with, to bring you to a point in life where you convince yourself that only blinkered self-interest exists in the world, but you are wrong. Many people act with altruistic intent. Many people make decisions that are not directly in their own self-interests, but are what they think is for the greater good.

If you need to tell yourself that this sort of behaviour doesn't exist, that the world goes round through everyone just looking out for themselves, then I genuinely pity you. That sounds like a lonely place and it's not one I'd want to be in.

The part where you said that you don't give a monkey's if your vote affects anyone else and that no-one else give a monkey's about the effect of their vote on you.

And the "they all vote based on issues important to themselves" part.

Those are the really sad parts.

Everything i have seen so far, with the markets getting shaky, i expected. What i didn't expect was remain supporters to not respect democracy.
Things will not alter totally, immigrants who are needed will come in, we will still deal with the eu countries. The border at calais already is being kept, as is. Those countries need us, just as much as we do them.
 This shaky period is to be expected, it happened back in 1992 with that eu deal. It's was always going to happen, this country has the ability to grow much bigger and faster, we have the best of both worlds.

I don't feel conned, i expected lies from whichever side won, i didn't vote thinking the nhs was getting three hundred and odd million, i didn't believe it. I didn't believe we would have no immigrants, i believed that the country could decide better, outside the eu, who comes in and not.
I still believe, the country is after a period of slowing down, will resurge and many remainers will be just as happy as the leavers.

I do feel conned. Not just by the inept campaign fought by Remain but also by the EU.
Once they realised the enormity of the result they announce that the EU needs to listen to the people and become more democratic. That was the reason that I wanted to leave for but could never see changing.
Had they thought along those lines three months ago it could have changed the outcome or at least added more weight to the Remain campaign's case.

Rigo - read this carefully - I am not offended by your vote, nor anyone else's, nor the result.

The downright lies and subsequent backtracking offend me. 

How many of the electorate really understand macro economics anyway - to be swayed by those arguments on trade and budgets etc?

How many of the general populace are more easily swayed by emotional arguments about immigration or funding the NHS?

How many remain voters feel conned now compared to leave voters?

Of course, the result is the result, but the process was questionable to say the least.

Nice to know you don't care about anyone else - like me and my family, a fellow Doncaster rovers supporter?

Oh wait, you're not one of those?  I guess that makes you just as much one of the "forum kuntz" as you put it.

Just watch - the "beast" may finally be stirring. Demo in York (protesting against a Leave Vote) yesterday looked to have 5 thou in attendance .... its a start. Whether the majority of them were people who Voted Remain or Leave (and who feel lied to) I know not and for accuracy I cant speculate

However in London did you see the BBC coverage when huge numbers appeared "like a Flash Mob" to protest against the Leave vote. Rather than saying they were conned they seemed to be saying the narrowness of the victory for Leave was unacceptable. In reality though we voted Leave in a Binary Election and as I have said many times already 600,000 voting Remain rather than Leave and the Country would still have had Cameron as Leader and Corbyn as Labour Leader and Farage and Johnson and the Leavers saying the vote was too narrow to be "binding"

Police put the numbers at 30,000 but the BBC seemed to report 300,000 and I suspect that the figure will continue to grow when London York and I suspect others get together

Do you still not get that a 'clean' campaign is an absolute myth? It's never, ever going to happen and it's at odds with the reality of such a campaign.


Do you still not get that with other elections, general elections, by elections, local councils etc that if the electorate feels conned they have the opportunity to put that right next time, but with this referendum, we don't?

Of course the campaigns will never be truly clean - both sides will give a different perception - but why not base this on facts?

Why couldn't leave talk about using (some of) the 350 million a week on continuing to fund what is currently funded here by the EU - and maybe offer to re-allocate the net remainder to NHS, schools etc?

The idea of using our money for our country would have been the same, but the way it is put across would not have been misleading.

If you don't think it was misleading, that big bus gave it away.

Funny enough I was in York yesterday (daughter was in a gymnastics show at the barbican) we met the demo head on and waited for it to pass. There were a thousand at most. However the pedestrian Streets were mobbed so therefore probably looked like 5k! Good on them though at least doing something ? Even if they did all look like school teachers circa 1978!!!!

They'll also see certain folk believing in democracy...

...until they don't get their own way, which leads to a series of threads squawking about how bad leaving the European Union supposedly is.

This democracy you believe in, allows for free speech doesn't it?

Also the threads seem to be more about the dishonesty of the leave campaign, as apposed to the effects of leaving the EU..

Then again, it's easy to twist things isn't it?

The leavers were lied to in equal measure, and yet still people voted leave. Therefore to me, though it was a terrible campaign by both sides, it was a fair election. Plenty came out and voted and leave edged it, it has to be accepted.
Now everybody should just come back together, because a lot of things won't change, and have faith that our country will get stronger. Our people and products are as good as any in the world.

No. I don't think that the companies who are not investing in Britain, or the currency speculators who have deserted the pound are doing so because Remain voters are f**ked off.

Do YOU think that? Really?

And no, I personally really, really, REALLY don't want us to have a recession and half a million more people on the dole. And I really do wonder about the values of people who project those thoughts onto other people.

If some people get off on negativity, fair enough, it does nothing for me.

Does that not apply to your recent postings on the Euros, the Premiership and this new JPT trophy thing? Or are we only allowed to be negative when it suits you - and positive when it suits you?

People are right to be concerned. There has been a huge gap between the Brexiters telling us how great it would be if we voted to leave the EU - and the aftermath where they have disappeared - along with any semblance of a plan to achieve those 'benefits'.

What's the problem with discussing it? Anway, if you haven't got anything positive to say you wont want to contribute will you?

Ah BB, in your jollity you've encompassed what is likely to happen on a grand scale.  Not, as you presume, from the doom and gloom merchants but from the reality of uncertainty, of price rises, of the risk of job cuts, of increased taxation, (likely if the Chancellor cuts Corporation Tax as he's suggested), of media misrepresentation. Oh, austerity isn't that far away at all, but then again, that's what the 'leavers' really voted for!

  What I am upset about is the realisation of what a poor set of self serving political leaders we now have.
  In an era when,it seems to me how you look,are you young enough,and did you go to the right school matters,ask yourselves if Churchill,or Wilson would have been elected because of their looks,and age.
   How some of these straight from college,never done a day's graft in their lives,think they can preach to a miner who was on strike for a year fighting for their jobs,and tell them anything about life,and the difference between right or wrong is beyond me.
    The way they are squabling in public to try and save their £80k plus expenses jobs is pathetic.
    The labour party should deselect all those opposing Cornyn,surely there are better people to put forward the working man's case than this lot of careerists.
