Re: The Aftermath of the referendum

I voted in and so be it,but the country has decided. But the wait??? Imagine you are 17 and you are on a promise-sorry you may have to wait up to 5 years. It could get a wee bit frustrating.

Re: The Aftermath of the referendum

I agree with you. This procedure should be carried out as soon as possible. We already have support from other countries regarding trade, even some in the EU including Germany.

As we have predicted, the Germans would not want to compromise their own people by refusing to come up with some mutually beneficial trade agreements. As for the Frogs...

The first thing we should be doing, though, and right now, is approaching non-EU countries to set up trade agreements. We have been unable to do this whilst in the EU, but we should grasp that opportunity straight away, and if that means playing the Article 50 card right now, let's do it.

So who's going to do the negotiations - Cameron, Boris? Both have cut and run. So much for Democracy!

Re: The Aftermath of the referendum

I'm trying to understand what a resignation and a withdrawal from an election have to do with democracy. Perhaps you can help.

Re: The Aftermath of the referendum

You sound like Lord Bitter-and-twisted Heseltine. He's just been whingeing on the TV news.

Re: The Aftermath of the referendum

What a spiteful old man Heseltine has become I guess it is because he never made PM.

Re: The Aftermath of the referendum

Two of Britain’s biggest banks have declared they will stay in Britain following the vote to quit the European Union.

HSBC’s Douglas Flint, chairman of the largest bank in the West, said London would remain the centre of the financial world after the nation distanced itself from the EU.

His view was echoed by Barclays boss Jes Staley, who said there were no plans to move any staff abroad and his bank would remain ‘anchored in Great Britain’.

It came as American politicians clamoured for a UK trade deal and New Zealand offered up its top negotiators to help in the difficult task ahead.

Britain will be allowed to keep border controls in Calais after it leaves the European Union, the French president said last night.

Francois Hollande said it ‘does not make sense’ to rip up an agreement enabling British border guards to check for migrants stowed away on lorries or trains before they cross the Channel.

In the run-up to the referendum, Remain campaigners had repeatedly claimed that a Brexit vote could lead to the border being shifted back to Dover.

But Mr Hollande said yesterday the Le Touquet treaty signed between Britain and France in 2003 was not at stake.

Re: The Aftermath of the referendum

To all the naysayers who voted to remain in the EU because they thought we could not stand tall in the world again.......

Have some confidence in Britain and it's people, we didn't get where we are today by accepting defeat!

Re: The Aftermath of the referendum

Hi

Juncker has said we cannot start Trade Negotiations with the EU and other Countries until Article 50 has been concluded and we left the EU.

He can swan off, we are leaving, what is he going to do?

Fine us?

Great, we just don't pay.
