There isn't the political will in parliament to deliver on our decision. I don't think p1ss head Juncker has anything to do with it really.

If parliament wanted us to leave we would be out now.

This is where we disagree.

Juncker has a lot to do with it, he rolled us over.

If our useless bunch of idiots had got a deal which we were happy with, we would have left by now.

I think we have had enough of belly aching, whinging, mourning about Parliament to last a life time. Some one must have voted for them FFS.

It's about time you brexiters came up with solutions.

May I suggest one REVOKE ARTICLE 50 because as we are now it is costing us and will cost us a bloody fortune.

Please don't!! Try to make it on your own for some time. If you succeed we have gained a trading partner we can profit from. If you don't we'll have you back without the pound, the rabate and within schengen. Which ever way, we win.

Hi

Yes it will cost us a fortune, but that is not the point.##It is only costing us a fortune because of the stupidity of the Political Elite.

I will happily pay more tax to sort it out.

What I will not have is my vote being ignored by the Political Elite.

There is a reality to this.

I have Pensions to protect.

I will be saying naff all about the specifics until December, then they are no longer under threat and I will let rip.

The rise of the populist right across the EU is the answer to your question.

Yes, the people of Europe are unhappy.

We are lucky in the UK in that we are a large nation with a large , diverse economy and that we can hold our own outside he EU,

Smaller, nations like Greece, Croatia, Hungary wouldn't survive the backlash the EU would bestow upon them and so, in effect, they are trapped in an Empire that won't allow them to survive if they left.
Yes some of the people are unhappy however since the Brexit Levels of support for the EU have gone up in 26 of the bloc’s 28 member countries

We don’t need to increase taxes, just reduce the burden of the taxpayer subsidising enhanced benefits on public sector pensions . That would free up some 26 billion a year to be spent on public services

Hi

It depends what sort of Public Sector Pensions you are talking about.

Some were fully funded until Blair and Brown raided them.

Mine were in fact, in surplus.

Because I was contracted out, I do not get the Full State Pension.

I, like many others, paid in extra, AVCs, additional voluntary contributions.

If, on your logic, only fully funded pensions where left alone, the State Pension would be hugely reduced as well.
