Which former prime minister proposed a European army? Winston Churchill, in case anyone is wondering

| Quote ="Kelvin's Ferret"I realise that the leading Brexiteers have already admitted the immigration control subtext was basically a lie, but are we still getting the extra £ 300m+ a week for the NHS, or has that gone the way of the immigration claims too?
My bet is that we 'leave' the EU sometime in the next ten years, for some kind of affiliate status, which gives us access to single market. But in return we still need to pay the same level of net contribution we do now, we still need to have freedom of movement (there might be some token concessions about needing to have job before they come) , oh and to access that single market we'll need to be compliant with the EU law we no longer have any say in. But we will be officially OUT, even if OUT isn't what the Brexiteers thought they were getting.'"
Are you serious ??
The net contribution to the EU was around £175 million per week (after deducting the various grants that came back into the UK) so, there was NEVER going to be an extra £350 million for anything.
There also still needs to be an agreement reached with the EU to allow us to trade with them and NOBODY yet knows how that will develop.
There were lies and exaggerations on both sides of the Brexit campaign and because both sides were hashed together coalitions, we will never be able to hold either side to account.
It will certainly be interesting to see how it all plays out and the best hope that we have is for the EU as an organisation to crumble and we can then make individual trade deals with who we want.

I think that is inevitable. Always been a matter of when not if.

There is already an EU parliament, there is an EU council, there is an EU commission. Now there is going to be an EU army. That is basically an EU superstate. Foundations for a global government

Unless Brussels made the UK sell arms to Saudi Arabia, we already can and do.

Yeah we know, the Pound may have parity with the Euro by then, it's all going swimmingly.
Oh, & all the Northern folk who voted for a brighter future, well guess what?
The "Northern Powerhouse" has been put on the back burner & once the cash that was diverted North via Brussels has dried up, it's a Fait Accompli, oh the irony.
Oh well, at least they can rape the North one last time - Go Fracking!

There is a fair chance that the pound will be worth less than the Euro by February and certainly by the time 2019 comes around.
I wonder how many of the people who voted "out" would change their vote if there were to be a second referendum.
Also, if things look so seriously e when the time comes (and the were to be a second vote) whether the folk in the Eurozone would take us back.
THE biggest gamble in the las 100 years and our future looks as bright as it is down t'pit (not that there are too many of those left)
As prices start to rise over the next few months (off set slightly by higher levels of exports) will Boris & Nige and their ilk still be telling us that it's better out than in.
Things look so utterly grim that we should move the border with Scotland down to South Yorkshire and vote SNP

That's so funny, that i'm actually in tears, trouble is I dont know whether they are tears of joy or, borne out of depression.
The utter lack of leadership and direction is probably the most depressing thing, a government that has deafened itself with sound bites but is making itself dizzy and an opposition that is just, well, lost.

| There is one overriding reason why Brexit is essential. We are on the verge of, and arguably already seeing, massive migration as a result of climate change / environmental degradation. The UK is predicted to be one of the world's relatively safe havens in years to come and therefore attractive to migrants. Accordingly, to survive as a nation (and to help our species survive) we need to be able to secure our borders, build our military to protect those borders and somehow move towards self-sufficiency in food, etc. That is a big ask with current population.

Wow, I didn't realise that millions of Syrians were fleeing their country due to climate change.
The environmental degradation you talk of, would that be anything to do with the Russians, Americans, French & of course the British bombing the bejesus out of everything?
Your nihilistic vision of the future must be straight out of a U.K.I.P. manifesto.

Out if 1.32million asylum seekers entering The EU in 2015 just 29 per cent were from Syria. If one looks at the much greater total of refugees the percentage is much smaller as so many come from Africa.
Environmental degradation is as a result of 7 billion people, their agriculture, their livestock and to a lesser extent their industry. Bombing accounts for FA.
If you are going to write, at least make an effort to be sensible.

That's rich, when you've just outlined a treatment for a low-budget sci-fi film as justification for Brexit; the biggest surprise is that one of the snakes who advocated it (all of whom have since slithered into the undergrowth) didn't use that one, along with all the other lies they spun to get the vote.

Sensibility went out of the window on June 23rd.
Your plan to pull up the drawbridge on the world is an admirable.

| I find it odd that apparently the over half of people who voted to exit are again being treated as though they are all racist f-wits, particularly in the anti-Brexit media. Isn't that sort of stereotyping one of the reasons many voted to exit in the first place?
