My Nan had new windows and a new kitchen because of EU funding; today, she's living in a tent (without windows).

They were from New Zealand, so they'll be deported soon, mate.She does have the sheep to keep her company though Steve. Silver linings an all that.
How do you figure? Remainers could point to... well, exactly how things already were as an idea of how things are.... It's hard to discount the validity of the way things actually are.Least they've got the general idea which is more than some remainers had.
They don't really do sheep now anyway. It's all about cattle and tourism for New Zealand.They were from New Zealand, so they'll be deported soon, mate.
EDIT: Even though New Zealand isn't actually in Europe. What a twit.
What if we leave the Commonwealth? Welsh lamb it will have to be.They were from New Zealand, so they'll be deported soon, mate.

Not sure if its a sarcastic comment or not. However there's a reason why Cameron resigned. If I was him, I would do the same thing. The EU can be quite an arse on issues that cant care less about. We learnt the hard way with illegal immigrationAlso lads, don't get yourself arrested on holiday.
The Tories will be blaming the EU for being evil and not agreeing to their superb trade deals, and thus still be getting all their votes.Addendum - they gain the most from EU, out of any country in the EU. Instead they've put themselves in the hands of a London tory government.
It's like a darwin award nomination.
The dilution of your democratic rights. Full sovereignty. The EU rejecting democratic votes from member states. The EU rejecting the legitimacy of a democratically elected Greek government.Educate me. Go.
Naah. saw a lot of sheep between Auckland and Roturua on my last visit...They don't really do sheep now anyway. It's all about cattle and tourism for New Zealand.
Those were just fluffy cows.Naah. saw a lot of sheep between Auckland and Roturua on my last visit...
Please stop mentioning Greece. The EU was already too nice not to kick Greece out after what it did. Instead they tried to help (not without self centered interest mind you)The dilution of your democratic rights. Full sovereignty. The EU rejecting democratic votes from member states.

Essentially the EU being a undemocratic and unaccountable institution that believed it was untouchable and free to do as it pleased.
He'll been shitting bricks after that interview, she'll get one soon enough.Farage also gave my Nan new windows and a kitchen; but no house.
You should visit the museum in Wellington mate, believe me... they go into it in some depth. I was surprised at the level of depth.Naah. saw a lot of sheep between Auckland and Roturua on my last visit...
It was still quite a remarkable and somewhat disturbing move I thought.Please stop mentioning Greece. The EU was decent enough not to kick Greece out after what it did. Instead they tried to help (not without self centered interest mind you)
Some day traders must have made a killing- Barclays was 28% down at the worst and got back to 14% down, for example. Buying opp of sorts, but can't help thinking it will be volatile as hell over the coming weeks as you get loads of rumours doing the rounds. Ditto when Article 50 comes into effect and you get loads of rumours around trade deals and so on. Great if you're on the right side of it, obviously.Anyone else seeing this as a buying oppotunity in the stock market @Jippy ?
Damn, shouldn't have smoked so much of that synthetic marijuana they are selling in the haedshopsThose were just fluffy cows.
£250m? What are you talking about? There is no £150m even if we had £50m we couldn't spend it on the NHS, frankly 50k is a lot of money.I think we should spend the £350m on the NHS.

Yes, what awful people.It was still quite a remarkable and somewhat disturbing move I thought.
It's like the claims about Rooney wages, only in reverse.£250m? What are you talking about? There is no £150m even if we had £50m we couldn't spend it on the NHS, frankly 50k is a lot of money.
So imagine you have an irresponsible brother. First he involves you in a business which turns out to be a scam and were you both lose plenty of money. Then after that he keeps spending all his dosh (include the money you gave him) on women, Liverpool replica shirts and tupperware until he's finally go broke again. All he seems good at is begging at your feet asking you to help and when you try and be tough with him he go full proud mode and tells you that he's an adult and you shouldn't treat him that way.It was still quite a remarkable and somewhat disturbing move I thought.
Things were not that bad surely in the EU? That is why I voted to remain, but they could now get worse. They might get better, but you wonder at the fallout if things get worse. Also won't it affect passports eventually and what about driving abroad? Will they have to issue all new documents? Who will pay for it, the public or the government? Whoever does it will cost a pretty penny. All the ones who now think their boat has come in might just find they are still at the bottom of the pile.How do you figure? Remainers could point to... well, exactly how things already were as an idea of how things are.... It's hard to discount the validity of the way things actually are.
And I repeat, 100% False statements don't lead to a "general idea" they are just populating peoples opinion with completely fabricated bullshit.
Do you also need to go out and get deals around the globe that used to be EU x other country? Gonna be a long ass few years for the Foreign office if so.If that sounds hostile to you then let me assure you the mood is worse at the continent. I pity the fool who will conduct the trade deals Britain need with the EU. It won't be nice
Please can you rephrase that? My English isn't that goodDo you also need to go out and get deals around the globe that used to be EU x other country? Gonna be a long ass few years for the Foreign office if so.
I agree to some extent. I think it is a problem that Jean-Claude Juncker is such a powerful, supposedly democratic, figure in Europe - Yet there is no a voter in Europe who has ever had any sort of say in his investment of power. He's never had to campaign with a single voter anywhere.Essentially the EU being a undemocratic and unaccountable institution that believed it was untouchable and free to do as it pleased.
I don't think Cameron resigned because he's scared of negotiating with the EU.Not sure if its a sarcastic comment or not. However there's a reason why Cameron resigned. If I was him, I would do the same thing. The EU can be quite an arse on issues that cant care less about. We learnt the hard way with illegal immigration
Does the UK have to renegotiate individual trade deals that they might have enjoyed with other countries because the EU as a whole had a deal with that country? If that is the case, there's going to be a lot of work for the Foreign office to do.Please can you rephrase that? My English isn't that good
It's both. With a third point that people disillusioned with the Government (which they elected) decided to use this as a way to vent their anger without realising the consequences.It seems from most posters on the Caf that being in the EU all things considered is actually very beneficial to Britain. So...does this mean the stay-campaigners did a fecking terrible job at convincing 17 million leave-voters? Or does this mean 17 million people are too blind to see the advantages of being in the EU? Or both?
If our economy goes tits up, who will help us out?It was still quite a remarkable and somewhat disturbing move I thought.
Yes, they have to renegotiate with the US and everyone else who had deals with the EU.Does the UK have to renegotiate individual trade deals that they might have enjoyed with other countries because the EU as a whole had a deal with that country? If that is the case, there's going to be a lot of work for the Foreign office to do.
A bit of both. Plus on some level this wasn't about the EU at all - it was about places and social classes that are worried about the modern world (and in many cases haven't seen many benefits from it) telling London/the political establishment to f*ck off. The mistake was holding the referendum in the first place as there was always a risk of this kind of response.It seems from most posters on the Caf that being in the EU all things considered is actually very beneficial to Britain.

I don't know. I doubt it though. One of the leavers main argument was that the UK couldn't conduct trade deals while still in the EU. They cant even start new trade deal negotiations until they activate article 50. So I guess that applies both waysDoes the UK have to renegotiate individual trade deals that they might have enjoyed with other countries because the EU as a whole had a deal with that country? If that is the case, there's going to be a lot of work for the Foreign office to do.
That's going to be fun.Yes, they have to renegotiate with the US and everyone else who had deals with the EU.
Yes, they will have to negotiate trade deals with approx. 60 different nationsDo you also need to go out and get deals around the globe that used to be EU x other country? Gonna be a long ass few years for the Foreign office if so.
The Remain campaign did an absolutely horrible job in my view. I think I've seen more Leave literature about at a ratio of about 5 to 1.It seems from most posters on the Caf that being in the EU all things considered is actually very beneficial to Britain.
