Political preferences aside - Brexit has already cost me over a tenner on my new (Austrian) trigger and that was at 0607 this morning!

 

First world problems I suppose!

My view, for what it's worth:

 

I think it's now time, as a country, to stop the language of panic and absolutism.

 

We must cease the pre-referendum rhetoric that falsely conflated rejection of the socialist and neo-liberal agendas of the EU Political Class with a rejection of Europe itself.

 

 

After the 'millenium-bug'-type unecessary panic dies down, we must all quickly come back together, as the liberal-democracy that we are, to find our new - better- way of working with Europe

 

Meanwhile, can someone please get that tw@t Farage out of the media spotlight!!

Cameron just resigned - good riddance !

 

As a shooter we were faced with a couple of tough moments under Cameron, such as when Derek Bird went tonto in Cumbria.

If the party had been other than the Tories or we had a different leader at the time, we probably wouldn't still be enjoying our past time.

 

So I'll give Dave a break, he never dun me no harm and I wish him well in the future.

 

11 years in that job? I wouldn't wish that on anyone

45% want to be independent, been there, voted to stay....

 

It's not Scotland saying we want to be independent, it's the SNP.

Despite the doom and gloom mongers, it's business as usual and the pound has rallied back since this morning. It will remain volatile for a while which is to be expected and there will also be a cost to our leaving the EU but what a liberating fantastic day for us!

 

Scotland voted for Remain because it had less to lose than many parts of England by remaining in and indeed arguably benefit more from the EU in certain areas. I don't blame the Scottish for voting for what they genuinely believe was right for them, as that's democracy at work. They can't cut it both ways though. Their real choice is stay a part of the Union and be strong, or go it alone and try and obtain membership of the EU, which currently, they do not qualify for on monetary grounds alone. They also have no currency of their own nor sufficient banking collateral. Truth is the EU cannot afford to take Scotland and most of the sensible Scots people know this only too well, so it is completely baffling why Sturgeon is banging her head against a brick wall and trying to break up the very thing that could save the Scottish and N Irish financial security for the future. They ought to accept the verdict and muck in to rebuild a strong United Kingdom, and it is stronger together.

 

As for N Ireland, well there isn't a hope in hell they'll vote for independence as they have already undertaken to honour the Good Friday Agreement plus the Unionist population would never countenance a future under Sinn Fein. It simply will not happen. They will remain part of the Union.

 

If the Scots want out, I don't think they ought to be prevented from leaving. Let them have their referendum but on the same basis as our exit from the EU, ie out means out. They sort their own currency and own future and receive no more handouts from the rest of the UK taxpayers. I can't honestly see that happening and when the dust settles, most of the Scots will see that too.

 

As for Cameron, good riddance, and goodbye....to him and to Osborne, who between them only seem to come up with a few strap lines for their achievements whilst in power, namely same sex marriages and tightening belts for the austerity we needed following Labour bankrupting the country. Hardly anything to boast about and I for one won't be remembering them or their "achievements" with any sense of pride or fondness.

With the Republic of Ireland doing so much import and export business with he uk I really can't see them rocking the boat by accepting Northern Ireland even if there was a border poll. Surely it would be financial suicide for ROI. What does Brexit actually mean for ROI? Will we be continuing to trade with Ireland under Eu trade rules or will will we need a new deal? Are Ireland allowed to make a new deal while they are in the Eu? It would not surprise me if In a generation or two Ireland also left the failing en and worked more closely with the U.K. Maybe not go as far a rejoining the commonwealth but English Irish Welsh and Scottish are all the same kind of people with the same economic mindset "work hard = make money" we are different to the European countries like France and Greece for example and just don't fit in with the Europeans. My opinion is the uk and Ireland both free from Europe would do quite well working together.
