I sincerely think this is the beginning of the end of the EU as we know it. In five years' time, the chances of us seeing a 'European Union' are no better than the chances of seeing a 'United Africa' in the same period.

Truth be told, I'm surprised the EU lasted as long as it has. Never forget that Europe is made up of many different countries, each with a proud tradition of hating all the other ones.

Because the news is impartial... One of the reasons I voted leave is because I don't trust the EU officials to do what's best for the UK so why would I believe what they have to say?

No it isn't because we WON'T be in the EU in 2 years and our economy IS already being affected.

Fucking hell, apparently I'm wrong when you nitpick irrelevant bullshit?

The pound has dipped and is slowly recovering, the FTSE is still higher than it was last Friday, how is the economy already suffering?

The pound is crashing because of the Brexit results.

Quote:What has clearly been underplayed is that the UK vote to leave the EU after 43 years is now the precursor to a minimum two years of exit negotiations, as the government will now seek to invoke EU Article 50, which is effectively the technical mechanism by which it will leave.

Looks like we are both correct? http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-eu-r...m-35926576

"Once Britain formally tells the European Council it is leaving, it has two years to negotiate the terms of its withdrawal. Extra time would only be allowed if the remaining 27 states all agreed."

So it's exactly a 2 year process unless countries agree to extend, which probably won't happen.

I hope that is the case. Not for you, but for the others that do not share your irresponsability.

Hoping Portugal does down the drain in the EU.  Smile

It's half-way there already.

Ewww.

A friend of mine looks like that
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
