The comment is interesting. As much as I dislike David Cameron, if he successfully outmanouevers the Brexiters here then I will have gained immense respect for him - he has (I think) been genuine in his support of the Remain campaign, just like he was with Better Together during Scottish indyref. Cant fault the man for that (even if otherwise I think he is a total knob).
Tbh, the leavers have pushed themselves to a cliffs edge here. The best result they could have hoped for was a win plus Cameron invoking Art.50 and then resigning....which kinda was the expecation in general. Then Cameron threw a spanner in the works and left it for his 'successor' and nobody wants to pull the plug now.
- What terms to re-negotiate? How much can they leverage out of EU? Nobody knows.
- What happens to borders? Will refugees in Calais be let into UK?
- What happens to existing immigrants in UK? Even if they quit, they are sill part of EU till official exit? What then? Will they kick immigrants out while negotiating deals with their governments?
- Scotland - Does the new leaders even have an opinion? Will they break up the legacy and split? Impact of this?
and this is on top of the lies...
- No guarantee of money to NHS.
- No guarantee of immigration coming down.
- No guarantee that govt will replace EU investment or even match half to areas which voted to leave.
And Farage has cannot have outted himself more as a slimeball. He admitted to lying. He admits to recession now and suddenly it'll look better "in a couple of years". This is what you get if you ignore the experts in favor of these slimeballs.
You want to know what it will be like to stay in the EU? Fortunately rather than inventing anything fancy, we have the last forty odd years as an example. It is not perfect by a long shot, but it is better than nothing, and nothing is precisely what the current alternative presented by the leave campaign seems to be.
Pan's hot. Let's jump into the fire!
