Backpeddling, another EU thread

Im beginning to get it now. Despite the referendum not being about immigration every brexit voter interviewed so far on tv that ive seen has mentioned it as their reason for voting out. The politicians are saying it wasnt about immigration.

The money we were going to build hospitals and schools with doesnt exist because it was actually a much smaller amount than stated and will get swallowed up in the beurocracy of leaving.

We cant negotiate untill we have a new pm and theres a possibility of an election? Wtf, what if no party has leave in their manifesto other than ukip. Lol. But if we do have a new PM?

Its all interesting stuff. It was about immigration it seems. Did they ask the wrong question cos we clearly gave the wrong answer.

Other than that its as if someones taken every issue for the last 100 years and shaken it up and everyones questioning it. I guess its like a snow shaker and the isuues will float around and look interesting for a bit and then everyting will settle and it will sit on the shelf for a bit. Whats gonna get fixed or will it be business as usual.

 

I'm more worried about what the result shows about the rise of the far right across Europe. Oh well, England, that's what you voted for. Not worried for me, worried for ny son and daughter who will have to reap the sh1t that has been sewn. Good night folks. Take care out there. Will take my custom elsewhere I think.

 

well in the town of boston population about 55,000 the central /eastern european is 13% of the population - haven,t integrated into the local population and have a lot of ethnic shops - the voted 75% out - theirs was an immigration issue

 

It's not going to end well, believe me.

 

even i'm bored of this now, i'm away for a bit until you all start talking about tits or vans again, most forums i use have 1 thread going on the e.u. and they're over it now.... what happened to no politics? bring back the old admin/mods.

 

Yep, ^this. My kids are stunned. Biggest act of collective lunacy, certainly in my lifetime. And as @poptop2 says, completely unnecessary.

 

Yep it was mainly the older generation who really aren't the future and want the good old days back of rationing and black and white TV.

 

This was not an election.
There were no manifestos or election promises.
It was one simple question.
Both sides wanted to win.
There was no reason not to lie through their teeth, no pledges to be kept to afterwards as nobody was elected and no major UK political capital to be gained as the main parties were on the same side.

One question, in or out, no holes barred. To still be focussing on the other side lying is niave in the extreme. Both sides lied big fat lies. That's politics.

"Why is this lying toad lying to me?"
"To get to the other side"
Something like that.

 

Do you think that we could make this the last new thread on the subject please - there's plenty of others to comment on

 

i'd go as far as locking them all bar one - it's tedious.

 

Impressive lack of kicking off, I would agree.

 

the difference is this forum was started with a no politics theme.

 

meh.
