Samantha Cameron is definitely George Osborne in a wig.

Truth like rain don't give a feck who it falls on.
We'll see, but I'd be amazed if the EU rejected them after their country voted so strongly for remain, it's a very special case they will invoke any extra powers required to keep them in and give a big middle finger to England & Wales.

They have almost 2.5 years to achieve this.
I'm sure Turkey would also vote to join. Their willingness to be in the EU is not an important factor. It's whether they meet the requirements set out in their 35 chapters or not.

Turkey have a tonne of stuff required to make it, Scotland were already a part of it.

As I say, neither of us know but I'm fairly certain that Scotland will be seen as a special case due to already being part of the EU and voting to remain.

As someone who has followed her career since the 90's...she's usually right.
As someone who has followed her path to re-election for the last decade, she is a non confrontational p*ssy. It´s what her mentor, the big fella, did for 16 years. She´ll play peacemaker again and squeeze out another term.

So is there anyway back from the precipice? A renegotiated deal now the EU has been shaken out of its complacency that Brexit would never happen? Brexit ultimately hurts Britain much more than the 27 but the EU has just lost a huge amount of credibility too. It's just lost its second biggest economy, the biggest financial centre, its only global city, it's joint largest armed forces, the biggest member in terms of "soft power"....And the imbalance between Germany and the others just got a whole lot more pronounced.

Merkel essentially tells UK, this will be painful.
Well it has to doesn't it? If EU lets GB share the benefits without taking the (financial) responsibility then they might as well end its whole idea right there, because everyone would want to leave then.

Thankfully, I have deleted my social media accounts (well apart from LinkedIn) - I can imagine it is horrible being on there today.

Just woke up on the East coast. Can anyone give a guy a cliff notes version of what has happened in the last 6 hours?
The UK basically has decided that it wants to point a loaded gun at a bunch of foreigners, and has now shot itself in the foot.

Don't worry, we have plenty of thick Irish you can join in with.


Wait? Are you judging that on the Guinness you get in England? If so, that is shit, tbf, I wouldn't drink it either.
No I was forced to try it in Ireland too, which led to the humorous story of me reluctantly agreeing to have a 1/2 pint just to try it and the bar man asking if I'd like a vagina with it, and then when we left him telling me to "come back when ye's a man".
