Germany given a reality check.

“Due to the consequences, politicians should not assume too soon that Brexit is a done deal,” they wrote, adding that if it did go ahead Britain should not be allowed to “cherry-pick” which of the EU’s four fundamental freedoms – including freedom of movement – it wanted to respect.

“Constructive negotiations” might still prevent Britain leaving, the council said, or at least produce “a succession agreement that minimises the damage for both sides”.

Oh Dear if only they had done that before and we would have probably have voted remain.

Indeed. A bit of arrogance coming back home to roost.

I don't know why they don't just go straight to jail and avoid Go. Would save a few quid. Appeal will come regardless of who wins.

Whose? Cameron's? <Spits on floor>

The German's mainly. Cameron asked for help and they said 'no'. Payback time.

Read this for an insight into what happened and why we're leaving.

The arrogance of the EU should be beyond belief, but it isn't really. It also shows how undemocratic they are.

They had this coming and now their own people are telling them they either crawl or they are going to pay.

Yeah but he was an arrogant tulip. I would say "No" with Cameron there as well.

You may well be correct on anything else but in this instance it appears he asked for support, even a tiny morsel, but was firmly told 'no'. Predominantly by Merkel.

He knew there was a good chance they would lose.

"The political fallout would be a price worth paying to undo the disastrous and ill-informed decision of the British electorate. The government should grasp the nettle and simply say that they're not going to honour the result of the referendum.

The fallout would be limited in any case, as almost the whole of Parliament is in favour of remaining, as is a majority of the British people now that they have had a glimpse of the catastrophe that is Brexit."
