triggering article 50

[number 6]

Phillip Hammond,best candidate left I think already been a negotiator with the foreign office.

Dave might accidently let it slip on Tuesday. It's triggered by a letter or formal statement in a meeting which appears in minutes. If I were Dave I'd go AWOL like every other English politician has. If it isn't triggered by October who knows how many investment contracts will have been lost and what the state of the economy will be. They might just forget about it.

As the referendum last Thursday was "Advisory" and not "Mandatory" on the government taking the UK out of the EU I understand that it actually needs to be decided (and voted on?) by Parliament.

I do stand to be corrected though.

As this is uncharted territory, the law has never been tested, no one can be 100% sure what happens but for sure any triggering of Article 50 must be supported by an Act of Parliament. Maybe the Lords will help with their delaying tactics. The longer it goes on and the worse things get the less likely it will happem.

No Brexiteers seemed to understand what to do other than winning the referendum. Farage could have his moment of gloating at the rest of the EU states, then insulting every single one of them before asking for the best deal haha ... way to go pre negotiations dickhead.

Can only see two outcomes...

1. We leave the Eu and get completely screwed
2. We stay in the EU and get completely screwed

if it does not go through expect riots that have never been seen before
many are planned on "hidden" sites

If what does not go through exactly?

If we end up like Norway, in the EEA having to obey all the EU rules, but with no say how they are drawn-up, still having to pay in to EU coffers and still having to accept free movement of labour, are there still going to be riots?

Cause chances are that's what the deal the UK are going to have to accept.

I say UK, but I think there's still a good chance Scotland will walk.

Whoever it will be needs to do it ASAP so we can dispose of our MEP's and associated staff, stop sending money to Brussels, halt further immigration from Eastern Europe and maximise our self-sufficiency / minimise our dependency on imports and bought in services.

As to Scotland if they walk fine since the nett balance of money that goes there can be redirected.

Well I'm sure we can trust Mrs May, BoJo, David Davis, Liam Fox (with his mate Adam Werritty) et all to sort it out for us pronto.
