I'm predicting a sharp downward turn in the immediate and short term before plateauing then a steady rise. How big the bounce will be I've no idea but in that time I expect the whole European experiment to fail anyway. Maybe. What i expect is that cash injection to the NHS. No exceptions. Otherwise i want to see Farage and Boris, in a narrow street with no exits, on their bikes, being chased down the road by that fucking double decker bus that had the heady promises emblazoned on its side. Honestly, that's just bunk. The 'infamous' £350m figure is only infamous by convenience. If you want to argue that it was dishonest because it quoted a gross rather than nett figure then fair enough but to pretend it was some sort of political guarantee akin to a manifesto pledge is just silly. What kind of fuckwit doesn't understand the difference between a referendum and an election campaign? The obtuse kind that make that mistake when it suits.

Wonder why they bothered putting it on a massive bus if it's so pointless and uninfluential in the grand scheme of things?

Wonder why they bothered putting it on a massive bus if it's so pointless and uninfluential in the grand scheme of things? I took it to mean that, 'here's the opportunity cost of sending large amounts of money to the EU'. Which I'm guessing was the intent. It suits the Remainer argument to pretend it was sinister smoke and mirrors or an outright lie but it assumes that people were dumb enough to accept it as a cast iron promise. One that a mixed bag of cross party MP's had absolutely no power to make. Nobody, and I do mean nobody, ever pretended it was anything other than food for thought. Only in the aftermath has it taken on these mythical levels of mendacity because Remainers (being generally leftist by nature) are they type of people who are wired in such a way that when the world turns against them the only way they can rationalise it is to build an evil strawman. The idea that it's all based on a lie may be comforting and it may perpetuate those anodyne feelings of superiority but life never, ever aligns itself so neatly between good and evil. If you really want my opinion I think that in the fullness of time it won't make a lick of difference anyway; you guys will win. We'll end up with some watered down version of Brexit that will be undone over time and we'll be dragged down the shitter with all the rest when it finally swirls down the toilet, so rejoice, you've nothing to worry about.

I disagree. We'll be fully out and I think we'll make a real success of it and be better off in the long term. Italy will opt out next and the whole shithouse will start to collapse.

It was a suggestion that was just vague enough for people to think it was a promise. What they wanted people to see was the £350m figure and make them think "fuck me, we spend that much on the EU?". They forgot how stupid people are.

People who believe that had any sort of bearing on the outcome on the vote are naive and stupid. To be fair that pretty much covers the vast majority of the voting populous in this country. All fucking Guardian or Daily Mail readers, weak minded fools who believe whatever propaganda they are spoonfed by their glorious leaders.

Naive and stupid!! Cheers. They still used it, it was a big deal for leave campaign, they don't do things like that unless they know it will have the desired effect. But i guess it can be conveniently spun and glossed over after the fact. I never for once believed ANY extra money will come to the NHS. Anything we get will be swallowed up by the apparent massive financial blackhole that is our economy, there will be loads of excuses reeled out. But at least they'll have to find a new set of scapegoats for why the NHS is so stretched, when the barricades are put up. I think your trench comment underestimates the variety of people that will have fought in those circumstances, or do you think back in the day the brave people were all hard brexiteers in waiting?

Believe what you want, i couldn't care fucking less. This world is full of naive people on all sides of the argument. It isn't exclusively one way. If people want to believe something that is wrote on the side of a red bus then more fool them. This world, not just the UK, needs strong leadership. Not pathetic excuses like May, Johnson or heaven forbid Corbyn.

Brexit is the first step on the road to Britannia ruling the world again and I for one can't wait. God save the Queen.

6-6. I voted remain following a very positive experience of freedom of movement. I moved to Brussels in 2007 and lived there for 9 years after struggling to get a permanent job here. During that time I experienced the benefits of the EU and was largely oblivious to any drawbacks. Call me naive or whatever but that was my experience. I built up some excellent career and life experience and was able to live in a progressive and open society where diversity is a natural part of their society - given the 3 national languages and the large number of foreign nationals working at the EU, or within one of the many European headquarters dotted around Brussels and Antwerp. I came back to the UK in Feb 2016 just as the Brexit stuff was kicking off. Maybe having been out of the UK for nearly 10 years there have been changes and regressions because of the EU that I haven't witnessed - but to me the UK did not look like a broken place when I arrived back and my opinion was; why would I choose to change what doesn't appear in need of change - especially if that risks jobs and economic confidence.

Come the day of Brexit reckoning you and your ilk will be forced into cattle cars and taken away to tattoo camps where you will have the Union Flag permanently inked onto your forehead and a life-sized portrait of Prince Charles' face on your chest. You will wear your lack of patriotism on your face as your shame for all the world to see. Women will scorn you, men will ignore you and the local children will hurl granite-hard Brexit rocks at you every time you leave your house.

It’s quite standard due to us hard Brexiteers having higher levels of testosterone and larger gonads than you remainers. We’re so manly we could dig up old Queen Victoria’s bones and still get her wetter than Greg Abbott’s chin. We wouldn’t do that though as it’s disrespectful and unpatriotic obviously.
