Dear Floo,

I really don't think it is an if, when is the word, I honestly don't see Boris and co pulling off anything extraordinary in the next couple of years which will change this.

Boris can't even point at the Union flag and ask me, where is your loyalty, for me, as a blue, white and red guy, he has walked over that flag that I once held so dear, he has taken the Great out of Great Britain.

Gonnagle.

So its good news all round, Fan Dabi Dozi.

Enjoy the EURO and Greek style austerity, ten years on Sturgeon will be blaming the EU for it all, must have someone else to blame after all. :)

Hold the phone though, we are now hearing 'there is no need for haste' from Johnson.
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

I don't agree. If they are likely to lose then all discussions are moot. I don't think the Scottish people have the stomach for another referendum, especially if the outcome would be to be out of the UK and of the EU, as they wait to join the EU.

What currency are they going to have; they can't have sterling if they want to join the EU. Oil prices are at rock bottom.....what else have they got to argue with?
And this has relevance to a comment that Sadiq Khan and Nicola Sturgeon will be talking a lot in the future in what way?

A friend said to me that Labour is really unelectable now, as sections of the working class have rebelled against the EU.  Well, when did Labour ever take time to explain how neo-liberalism and globalization work, and also about immigration, and other stuff in the EU?   Did anyone get the memo?
They were the footprints of a gigantic hound!

They didn't tell anyone, they just sneered at them and called them bigots.
How can something so perfect be so flawed.

That's certainly not true where I live, although it may happen elsewhere.

Further black humour, Farage wasted no time in saying that talking of money from former EU payments going to the NHS, was 'misguided'.  Wow, that didn't take long.

Surprise, surprise.

We will be trading with the rest of the world plus a good arrangement with the EU.

I think right now is probably the time that this wondrous plan ought to be unveiled in all it's glorious detail - or could it be that it it's just a few words scribbled on the back of a fag packet saying: "Keep fingers crossed and hope for the best"

Dear Jackie boy,

Not a question of having the stomach for, we have been pushed into a corner, I don't want to leave the Union but what else can I do, wait for Boris to fuck us all or go it alone, sorry but you guys have made your bed, we tried to warn you, so I can now walk away with no guilt on my hands.

Oh and Nicola has been on the phone all morning with the EU, we will be a shoo in, if only to put one over on little England. ;)

Gonnagle.
But the EU has already changed because we have left, and by the time you lot are getting near to joining the EU it will be so changed and so anaemic (in part because we left) you will be wishing you stayed with us.

The problem is, that two years of uncertainty it leaves us in a very vulnerable position - right now our economy is just a 'play ground' for speculators.

If we are to get back on an even keel we need stability, and that means a firm plan.  All we have at the moment is the Brexiteers vague ideas of an unspecified free trade zone.
Nothing has changed and will probably not do so much for the next two years, so what are you yapping on about?

There's the WTO status - what's the problem?

That's a joke, the EU saying get on with it when they never have; being slower than a snail.

You never mentioned Sadiq Khan. So why will they be talking a lot together?

Fuel goes up next week as well.

When that goes up, so does everything else.

I am thinking of buying a wheelbarrow to handle my share of this £350m a week .

Seem that Corbyn's ass is on the line as well as Cameron's.

They seem to think a GE is a possibility but I can't see it myself but, hell, who knows considering the way things are going at the moment.

They tried to brainwash people by coming up with the PC bollocks of closing down discussion by calling people racist and xenophobes etc. hoping their followers would just repeat it mindlessly like children.

Quite the reverse - they tried to use intelligent argument on people who were clearly not capable of taking it on board.

Hey, who told you that? It's suppose to be a secret. That is the master plan  ;)

I did say the price of wheelbarrows are shooting up.

A low pound is good for exports and oil is at an all time low period, so much better to get the petro-companies to pass on the benefits.

Cameron no longer has an ass. Even Farage will have to kiss Boris's ring.
