Not sure why you guys love to act like the EU are this all powerful entity and decide our fates now, they couldn't even stop us deciding to leave so how you think they are gonna call the shots now is beyond me.

It would be a lot easier to negotiate deals too if we didn't have so many bitch ass sell outs doing their bidding for them trying to cause problems here in parliament. They should be begging us for a deal the amount they sell here. Not to worry, the whole thing is on course to crumble still, my glass needs a liberal tear top up.

Mate. The leverage doesn't fit.

Well they better get a wiggle on invoking Article 50 then aye. This after the EU said it could be done by 2018 lol.

Two-faced Theresa May lashed out tonight after Brussels announced tough new tariffs to protect British steel.

The hypocritical Prime Minister said she was “disappointed” at a new EU deal to bring in higher tariffs on cheap Chinese imports.

The Tory Government has been blocking the plan for years, as it believes free trade is more important than protecting British workers.

The Tory government have been in bed with the Chinese for the longest.

Socially isolated voters more likely to favour Brexit, finds thinktank

Demos survey suggests social network size and propensity to travel better indicators than income in referendum vote

People who have little contact with those from outside their own neighbourhoods are overwhelmingly more likely to have voted for Brexit, according to the first in-depth study of the social attitudes that drove the vote to leave the EU.

Research, conducted by thinktank Demos indicates how the size of a person’s social network and their propensity to travel beyond their hometown, had a much greater influence on the decision individual voters took on 23 June than other factors such as income.

People who had socialised with friends from a different part of Britain were 9% less likely to have voted for Brexit than those who had not, whatever their income.

Those who had spent time with a resident of another country were 15% less likely. However adults who still live in their childhood hometowns are 10% more likely to feel globalisation had had a negative impact on their lives.

The results provide the clearest indication yet of a widening social and cultural gulf between Britain’s metropolitan areas, which were predominantly pro-EU, and provincial communities that backed Brexit.

According to the findings, voters in culturally diverse urban areas who socialise widely – such as Lambeth, where 79% backed continued EU membership – are much more likely to have positive attitudes towards the EU, globalisation and diversity.

Less mobile voters from rural communities hit by fast-paced, large-scale immigration – such as Boston in Lincolnshire, which polled 76% for Brexit – are overwhelmingly likely to take a negative view. Overall, those living in rural areas were 13% more likely to have voted leave.

Other significant factors in determining which side voters took on 23 June include ethnicity, with white voters 22% more likely to have backed Brexit.

Voters hostile towards same-sex relationships and the rise in the number of women in the workplace were also consistently more likely to have voted leave. 

 

This is more of a confirmation of the same views that people had of leave voters before the vote though.

Would be good to have a study to understand why people who were thought to have wanted to vote stay, voted leave.

Or maybe study polls themselves, as to why they've been so bad in recent times.

hope that helps you sleep better at night

[Gambino]

Doesn't bother my sleep either ways but seeing your reaction to any positive comment regarding the UK usually puts a smile on my face. Nice one.

[dub]

hardly patriotic to not give a shit when your country is falling

its why its easy for people to say Leave voters are really just xenophobes and not really people who care about their country's power/standing

[Gambino]

It's easy because it's all you guys can say when you don't get your own way... I'm afraid Brexit and USA has shown you that the power of pointing the finger and screaming racism and xenophobe doesn't quite do it these days though.

You support the EU Dub...... Like you are in no fucking position ever to talk about Patriotism lol. You dislike this country, hence why you constantly try to post negative things about it and try blame everything on Brexit. Sure it's a good thing for India, well done to a country with 1.2 billion people and a large land mass for catching up with little old Britannia... However their people are some way off our living standards so I don't quite think we're crashing and burning yet like you and your cronies were gushing about pre Brexit vote. Recessions... Depressions...World War 3 Yada Yada Yada... 

[Da Luv Doc]

Gambino is stupid. Majority of the people on here are born here and want the best for this country. But it is guys like you, who say "if you don't want Brexit, you are not patriotic" who are the unpatriotic. We were in a nice place, financially cool and top 3 selected with regards to how the EU is run, thus, having major influence plus having rules to protect our way of life. Now we will be taken the piss out of. TBH, I'm cool, as I can go to any aerospace company around the world if it goes tits up here. But you and donkeys like you may have an affect on my industry.

 

It is nothing but xenophobes and donkeys that can't tell me who the elite are, and how Brexit will be a massive bonus for Britain, when in fact, the government are weak and will let the people be mugged off.

 

Simply put, you're a c*nt.

[Gambino]

Explain how an EU supporter can be a Patriot when they know the EU is hell bent on creating a Superstate and European Army.......

Explain why we need EU laws which grant sub human terrorists and killers a right to a family life, considering the UK is known for having the best law system either ways.

Explain how you guys hate Pro Brexit Brits who are hell bent on protecting their Nation, History and Assets yet you absolute blow the d*cks of the EU when they also use European Protectionism to make it hard for farmers in Africa etc to sell their goods to us all.

For the billionth time explain why we couldn't have trade without them ruling over us.. In fact nar I'm kidding don't try cuz not one of you have been able to answer it for the past year.

And please do go to some other country and work in their Aerospace, or at least switch back to one of your other VIP2 Alter egos.

What are these EU laws that grant terrorists a right to human life ?

[Zizouz]

EU Army or US bases all over your country?

Tomato, tomato

Don't personally think the USA have been attempting to absorb us into their United States, nor are they trying to write off our Army like the EU was.

No doubt you remember articles in the past when we had been trying to deport terrorists back to countries where they were wanted but had troubles because of their appeals and the human rights laws from the EU which protects their right to a family life.

[Zizouz]

I should have been clearer, as I thought it was about patriotism and sovereignty. Snowden and Co exposed what the US has been on. Don't think a patriotic person would be happy with either option, but those are the only two on the table.

it wasn't the EU, it was the European Court of Human Rights which is a separate entity and you didn't vote to separate from, in which case there's nothing to prevent from the same court blocking the extradition of people in the same way in the future, post-Brexit

Let's be real Ziz.. The same people on here who would champion Snowden and act like he's a hero against the corrupt USA are the same dudes who wanted Clinton to win the Election....

Quite right though, I don't mind the USA having bases here, they are our Allies, the closest nation to us and basically a country we created.

During the Brexit debates I remember it being a talking point about us leaving the EU and creating a British Bill of Rights. If I'm wrong I'm wrong but I have read things about that. There are a few articles on it if you want to google it but then you may just question who reports them and the sources either ways. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/06/eu-rules-stopped-britain-deporting-murders-rapists-and-violent-c/
