sbcmfc Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I don't get why Farage gets so much airtime? His party seems to have been pushed into prominence by the media. They still only have 1 MP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would prefer Corbyn to remain but I don't think he understands what is happening outside London. Corbyn fecked this up as much as Cameron did. His 7/10 comment about his enthusiasm for the EU was bad enough but his speech the other day when he basically read off a sheet of A4 and made little eye contact or attempt to engage and inspire his audience said it all. He's been dismal. The effect of yesterday's idiocy is going to hang around for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Corbyn is probably a decent enough bloke for a politician, but he looks like a maths teacher. He lacks the charisma of a tony Blair or David Cameron. Boris Johnson is "a bit of a character", and Farage doesn't lack confidence in front of a camera.

An ignorant, semi-racist xenophobe with virtually no political power managed to drag the UK out of the EU, set in motion God knows what economic, social and political consequences, and bring down a Prime Minister.

Flora MaDonald Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 One of my mates (England fan in, currently in France) says they are going bezerk over there. Qunts with Farage masks.

Shows you the power of a catchy slogan ('We want our country back') and people's willingness to let others do their thinking for them rather than examining the issues properly. If these people honestly think that any problems they face are as a result of not having a government that 's right wing enough then they deserve all they get. I can just see PM Boris Johnson ploughing in umpteen £M into the Welsh valleys to replace the EU funding when that's gone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, says the EU will not allow the UK to re-join the single market. "Leave is leave", he said. "The UK just decided to leave the European Union and that means also the single market of the European Union. I wonder whether this is a rational decision. It is an emotional one." Mr Schulz said he respected the decision of the British people, but felt it was the wrong one. "The UK had lost independence nowhere. The UK is not a part of Schengen, it's not a part of the euro. The UK had a lot of opt-outs… it was the UK insisting always not to be a full-fledged member of the EU. "The only areas they were a fully-fledged member is the single market and now they cut the links to the single market and look what happens today on the internal markets."
