I bet they would activate the article 50 in the day after.Originally posted by darmstadt View PostComment

I don't believe that they would but then you probably wouldn't be aware that they don't tend to do referendums in Germany due to someone a long time ago using a referendum (4 times if I'm not wrong) to put him into power. As it is, since Brexit (which actually hasn't happened), Germany along with much of Europe has become more pro-EU, I wonder why?Originally posted by Bee View Post
Mind you, that article does go to show that other people had started to plan for a Brexit in other countries which seems to be more than the UK government have...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Sometime between my teenage years and middle age Britain turned into a banana republic. Banana republic is as banana republic does and we have all the key properties: the populists who manipulate people with poor education, the huge debt, the "reliance on strangers" economy, and most of all the misplaced exceptionalism.
I remember going for interview at GEC Rugby. What happened to GEC, ICI and the like. If we had them the numbers would have added up for Brexit, now they don't as some of you innumerate dolts are about to discover.Comment

It's going to hard to find a single point but one of the prime causes is when in 2001 Gordon "protected" us from the .com crash and introduced working tax credits.Originally posted by CretinWatcher View Postmerely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Well actually I think it's more fundamental than that. It's Maggie's insistence that manufacturing could be got rid of and that services were the way forward. I agreed with her at the time, how could I not, I was a passionate programmer in my teens. Now with the benefit of hindsight and experience, it seems obvious that with that policy 50% of the population would be left behind. We needed the factory jobs if not the mines. If we had those we would also have something to sell the rest of the world. you can't sell services into India, China or Brazil, at least not for a very long time.Originally posted by eek View PostComment

I bet they wouldn't. I think some of you have completely missed what this referendum was about and what happens next.Originally posted by Bee View PostComment

No one has actually said what is going to happen next, officially. There's a lot of hot air going on but until someone in power says that Article 50 will be revoked on such and such a day and that the 1972 European Act will be repealed in Parliament on such and such a date, after it has been debated and put to the vote then nothing has really changed in the political sphere...Originally posted by GB9 View Post“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
