Hhmm, I believe you're a teacher aren't you?

And looking at the map of those who voted similarly, it seems we are not on our own.
Maybe you have,(like our MP) been out of our honest little town for too long.
Maybe you think that the fifth largest economy can not overcome the difficulties that lie ahead. Maybe you have been indoctrinated to believe that we are not capable of forging links with other trading nations.

That is the thing about being in an abusive relationship( the EU appeared to be an abusive partner).....you get to thinking that it is you who has the problem rather than the abuser.

I think maybe something has gone a tad awry here Ma.

So Cameron finally behaves with honour...commits Seppuku and falls on his sword...tories eulogise and begin to start reuniting.

Meanwhile, Labour luvvies decide to give Corbyn a vote of no confidence on the grounds that he did not rally the troops..i.e. didn't get our MP out on the streets campaigning. Cue..infighting at a time they should be showing a united front...

Totally lost the plot..

Our MP spends the day sulking and retweeting doom and gloom comments without offering a single 'lets move on and make Britain great again' tweet....says it all *sigh*

I could not stand another campaign like the last one.

They are saying that us old folk have made the decisions for the younger generation.....many of whom did not get off their butt cheeks to go and vote.
Maybe we have done them a favour. We have to wait and see. There are still a lot of myths guesses and doomery out there.....none of it helpful.

Close! Don't those guys know how to count? Close my ass. This is close: Quebec Referendum, October 30, 1995: Percentage wanting to leave Canada, 49.42. Wanting to remain, 50.58. Now that's close. And, by the way, voter turn out: 93.52%. And this "age" thingy ... a complete crock of horse manure. Seventeen million voted "out" ... picture it, 17,000,000 ill-educated old farts, pushing their walkers to the polls in order to frustrate the aspirations of the young

And that "ill-educated" thing ... I read that in some clown's blog. Maybe it means that they don't have a degree

Degrees seem to be a compulsory these days ... most of them are useless: Gender Studies, MBW (Masters in Basket Weaving), etc. You can even go to the US and acquire a degree in Hamburgerology at Rotten Ronnie U.

And our education was fine. We left school literate and able to count to twenty without removing our socks. All those who voted, the sober ones anyway, voted for what they believed was the right choice ... 17+ million of them voted "out". British voters, in a fair and democratic vote decided to leave. And the French and the Germans? None of their goddam business. Looks like they should be taking care of their own countries. What happens in Britain is for the Brits to decide. Simple.

we had workers rights before we joined the EU and if we had not joined we would still have made more rights as we went along because we arnt a dipsh1t country we are a progressive country..

its how we became Great Britain and we will become Great again

Under the EU zero contract hours became legal so if they can allow that to happen its hardly a shining example of protecting the working people is it

Got this from a tweet by some millennial lame-brain.

Went to sleep in the 21st century. Woke up in some far-right, medievalist nightmare. I worry for my childrens' future.

Can you believe this shiite?

I've had bad trips too. Straighten out. Get a life. I'm medievalist ... and I am far-left.

Those doom and gloom comments from the remain camp are doing damage to the UK.....damage which they will lay at the feet of those who voted to leave.

If our MP cannot get up from his prone position....the he should throw in the towel and give the baton to someone ready to do our town justice.

There is one thing for certain - I will never again be bamboozled into voting for someone local because I think they might have a handle on what the town needs.

Whilst E.U. membership was far more difficult to understand, Democracy is pretty easy, All those 800.000 plus thousand that have signed the petition,for a second E.U. Referendum, to me should have their voting right removed, cos its pretty clear that they dont even grasp what Democracy means.

Margaret Pilkington · 25-06-2016, 08:59

I wonder how many of those who are signing this petition turned out and voted.

If there was a second referendum and it turned the vote around how would this leave the UK....would David Cameron want his job back?

I can understand the pont of view of those who were wanting to stay in....but this was a clear majority of 1 million voters.......and in some places those wanting to leave and voting such outnumbered those wanting to remain by two to one(our own area voted in that way).

I would hate to have to sit through all that campaigning again......it was not a dignified campaign and I have lost faith in some people who i previously respected.
All down to the way they presented the case to stay(and this is not because I disagree with their point of view...it is the way they promoted their point of view which alienated me).

What needs to happen now is that everyone unites and gets down to the business of getting the UK up and running.......We can do it.

With my being a comparative newby to this Bill Gates infernal machine, also called a computer I believe; could someone put me wise as to why it is out of order to do what Marge is apologising for. Your's as ever, Taddy.

Margaret Pilkington · 25-06-2016, 09:28

It is only really 'thread etiquette'.....it disrupted the flow of the thread a little....or at least that is what I think Dave in Germany was referring to...but I could be wrong.

If they don't like the result of the referendum, they could always move to Europe. The ferries are still running.
