Reasons for Brexit ...

as heard from Leave voters today:
1) We'd have been made to join the Euro
2) I used it as a vote of no confidence in Cameron
3) I don't want any more coming just to scrounge off our welfare
Clearly project fear got in the way of the truth in 1 and 3.

1) Hahaha
2) Not a reason to inflict the wide rangeing consequences of a protest vote on a nation.
3) Really?? Apart from immigrants in general being hard working contributers to our economy, now that we are leaving our borders will be redrawn ... No more checks on potential migrants allowed in Calais meaning they will let them come to us to become our problem to sort instead of theirs.
I hope I'm wrong, but the EU is not gonna give us any kind of decent exit package, more a fuck you and good riddance. We made our choice, and now have to deal with the fallout

I wonder how long it will be before the French tell the UK to move the border back from Calais and Dunkirk?
"Here, you can have the migrant camps"
I know I would if I was French.
As for number 3, I read the other day (although I'm sure Farage and co will say it's lies) that around half of UK GDP growth since 2005 has been down to migrants.
Well we shell see.

It won't be long spider, I've read meetings are due to take place soon. There is still a chance this can be re run due to a rule that if either side fails to win by 60%with a turnout of less than 75% the referendum could be repeated. The petition to do so has over 1.5 mil which means it has to be heard, However I feel our reputation is so damaged we will be in a worse negotiating postion than we already were

Yes I have seen that petition. I think the number of signatures is over 1.8 million now.
However, I think the vote was the vote. We have made our bed and we have to lie in it now.
I also agree the UK's reputation is shot now, we need to make the best of a bad job, but it's no good expecting any favours from the EU in any negotiations.

Hi,
The vote to Leave was the culmination of years of Governments taking the ordinary people for granted.
Only two areas voted to Remain and they were Scotland and London. However it is estimated that in London 68% of the over 50s voted to leave and for a very good reason, job discrimination for the over 50s and the offshoring of Financial Services jobs to low cost centres.
Outside London we have years of neglect and under investment add this to Zero Hours Contracts together with foreign workers recruited abroad on low wages it was a recipe for disaster and Boris et al took full advantage
The petition is almost 2 million and I would suggest if anyone is a Remainer they sign up and see if we can get things back

As a Brexit fan outer and there are loads of sites where you can read this, if this were to happen we would riot
The police would not be able to handle it, many from up north have already said they would join in big time thousands and thousands
Not the trampy middle class never paid fuck all in students that were alongside the paddy tramp geldof eitheron the stary campaign
Best and only good thing Dave did was put the fees up, as farage said they should be even higher
One of the better things if its stops these shits having a future as they put it
Loved the banners they made "we hate the old" You parents must be so proud

It was Farage (rhymes with Garage) who said......................................................
"In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way."
