    Scotland voted to stay within the UK, possibly expecting to stay in the EU. However, it turned out that the majority of those who voted within the UK as a whole want to leave.

    Scotland as a nation clearly disagreed. That should be respected.

    I see Scotland having a choice. It can stay in the UK or it can stay in the EU. It can't do both and needs to accept that.

    I am saying Scotland should choose. Not the rest of us. I'm fully in to self determination. Not just for England but also any other country that wants it. England and Wales have made their decision and have to get on with it, whatever it looks like. I think Scotland should still have a choice if it wants one.

    Someone clearly needs to sqaure that circle...

    Chris Grayling saying there is a clear mandate to control immigration. Someone else who doesn't get how close it was and how there isn't a clear mandate for anything....

    We can't. But we can make some stern noises and agree some kind of emergency break.

    Same for the movement of labour - I did not vote to stop 'foreigners coming into our country and taking our jobs' I voted to try and stem the movement of people who for whatever reason were unable to support themselves or integrate into UK society.

    I think what this vote clearly showed is that the current champagne socialist Labour party are very very far out of touch with their supposed voters - the Labour party need to understand that they should actually be representing you white van man with a tattoo who likes a few beers and a kebab - but who also is happily married with 2 kids and is trying to do an honest job earning an honest living and is struggling because his home town is constantly having increased pressure put on it by the movement of people.

    Those who eat mung bean quiche and drink moccachoccachino's who campaign for this but then go and live in their little cottage in the Cotswolds and so never see the impact of what they vote for to try and appease the sense of guilt they have for living off daddy's capitalist earned money need to understand that labour is not the party for them - they need to form their own party which campaigns for equal rights for everyone and screw the large corporations.

    If we can retain freedom of movement I think that will be a good thing and will appease me. And the outters can have their illusion of self determination.
    Fine, if that keeps everyone happy.

    I don't believe we had any say inside at all though. We generally wanted something different to the other 27. I'm sure most of the EU is delighted to see us leave.

    I think he's doing something that the remaining camp should take a lesson from.

    Namely looking for the middle ground. He knows what he wants but he's now focusing on what will not tear the party and 50% of the country apart. I still think there is time to get further away from this initial stance but you don't negotiate from the widest margin you try and get a conciliatory position.

    Of cource if Junkers tries to get silly, just to stem the tide of others wanting to flee it will turn out different.

    But after all your moaning it might just be keep calm and carry on...
