So what's the deal here? Does that Oompah Loompah looking broad want Scotland to vote for independence and re-join the EU?
.....yeah gee, I don't know why anyone would want to leave the EU when the President is getting shitfaced at lunch and having a big old time doing things like calling his colleagues amusing little nicknames "Dictator!"
What a horrible couple of workdays since the referendum. I was at a wedding in France over the weekend. British hedge funder marrying a French banker. The Brits all furious at Boris and the French shitting themselves that Le Pen gets a boost from promising a French referendum, wins the presidency and then gets a French exit. Not shitting themselves but worried.
Loads of smartarses all trying to show how connected they were by telling everybody what the government is going to do and to be fair lots of them are connected people. But everybody had a different read. There's going to be another referendum. There definitely isn't going to be another referendum. Article 50 won't get triggered. Yes it will. And so on. Bottom line is nobody knows. You could see by Boris and Gove's faces on Friday morning they don't have a clue what they're doing either. They obviously didn't expect to win. They weren't exactly celebrating were they.
It's going to be interesting to see how the economy does over the next few months until we get round to invoking article fifty. There's a good chance that a lot of firms who would love to move somewhere like Romania to take advantage of the cheap labour might fuck off. Parts of the City might fuck off too and much as people don't like us we chip in billions of tax revenues. There might be a lot of people who voted leave who wish they'd voted the other way in a few months. In which case, with ongoing damage to the economy and Scotland potentially fucking off maybe parliament just disregards the referendum result and we stay in. I'd put the chance of this at about 20-30%.
And it might get higher of it becomes clear that freedom of movement for EU citizens isn't going to change even if we do leave. If we want to keep access to the European single market we're going to have to keep freedom of movement. If Boris and his chums start admitting in public that we may have to keep freedom of movement before we've invoked article fifty it'll be a good tell that we're not going to.
Pound is taking a bit of a hammering and stock markets everywhere are down. The euro and eurozone stocks will eventually get a pounding too, it's not just going to be us. There's going to be a lot of effort made by the EU to make us either reverse or ignore our referendum vote. Like I said before, nobody here apart from part of the Conservative party wants us to leave and nobody in the EU want us to leave. And even if we do we'll still be paying into the EU budget and letting EU peeps come here and work.
Immigration was the main reason simple know ifs or buts.
People are not stupid they can see what immigration has done to there jobs and there community totally fucked up.
None of the ass hole politicians had any influence on my vote.
I seen what immigration has done for jobs in my area, facts figures are bull shit, see what it does what's wrong British's job's for British's workers simple not a dirty word FOR US not half of fucking Europe.
The bankers and City traders are crying into there Champagne.
Britain voted to leave it's what people wanted, it may not suit the City boy's greedy bastards the lot of them.
The single market more like a cattle market three hundred thousand coming in every year.
My heart does not bleed for the politicians, that have been discredited on all sides.
In that case you have should voted to stay. The remain group were the only ones who suggested they would try to lower migration. Leave made it clear free removement would remain and also they would look to bring in an 'Australian style' points system for those not in the EU.

You chaps have issues. You are run by liars on both sides. Have parties that revolt whenever they seem to have an 'opportunity' and meanwhile living standards continue to drop and the borders are wide open. It makes no sense to the casual observer. You have allowed really stupid and self interested people to sell your sovereignty and destroy your country. I don't understand why the British just take it like they do. They should be barricading borders and marching on the city of London and arresting Blair. But nothing done about anything ever except new powers to spy and enforce the BBC on everyone.... strange.
Loads of City people are ecstatic. Loads of them aren't. The EU is falling apart anyway, we could have just sat there and somebody else would have done this eventually or a big eurozone economy would have blown up. Now the City could be locked out of European financial services. That brings in billions a year in taxes so it'll cost everybody if we lose it. We also had a Brit EU commissioner in charge of EU financial services legislation. Now the Frogs and the Germans will be writing it.
On the plus side it might have brought the day that we may get the opportunity to fuck the Germans a lot closer. That's the last big aim I've got. I want to invade Frankfurt, storm the ramparts of the Bundesbank and feast on the blood of my enemies. But for that to happen the euro currency has to fall apart. This may speed that process up but it would have happened anyway.
If Le Pen wins it might trigger a civil war in France....I would think that would be something that nation needs as it is right there on the brink of becoming Islamist. Belgium, Italy, and Germany as well could use with their Islamic populations assimilating for a while.
Kirkland, surely you have seen the new mayor of Rome?
I mean she's no Marion Le Pen, but still she's quite the looker
Depending on the survey France is somewhere between six and ten percent Muslim. And at least half of them have probably integrated reasonably well. So not really on the brink. If France had a significant Muslim minority there's no way Le Pen could get elected, never mind win a referendum.
There's not going to be a civil war anywhere in Europe. None of our countries are chock full of heavily armed paranoid idiots thankfully.
Italy is well and truly fucked economically. They're facing a massive banking crisis. When we voted out their stock market declined by 20%, over twice our drop. They have the Five Star movement that has just won a couple of local elections and may do well in the next general election but whoever is in power in a few years will be forced into some major action by the ongoing economic disaster over there.
We had a choice in this. Countries like Italy and Spain eventually won't have a choice. We should have just sat tight and left it to them and avoided any economic problems due to leaving. On the other hand no more integration, we can vote our governments out if we don't like them, it's a step away from globalism and back to nation states, there's a lot to like.
Fucking hell this forum is slow today.
Italian women. Hairy as hell even with laser treatment and those Phillips light thingys. I bet close up she's got a Clark Gable moustache. Italians and Greeks, Jesus.
So you don't believe that Muslims from other nations would jump into France and fight against Le Pen? You believe that if Le Pen was elected France wouldn't explode in violent chaos? You have more faith in the French Muslims than I do.
Oh nice dig at the United States, I and my fellow Americans appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to make a smart ass remark about our right to own firearms. It's a good thing that guns are illegal in the majority of Europe, it's why there has never been an incident like the Bataclan......that was in the US right? It had to be I mean there were guns and guns = US so we've been lead to believe........I would hate if something like that happened in a country where no one was allowed to defend themselves in a manner which could even the odds in most any situation.
The EU is a bit like what Kaiser Wilhelm II wanted....more real estate for Germany. The German economy calling the shots. Hitler would have loved it, bar the mass unchecked immigration. And SOON 1 European Army....mmmm sounds like good times![]()
