The UK's greatest challenge today, post BREXIT, is to find a group of politicians worthy and capable of running the country as it should be run, in order to prosper. Decent high quality politicians can be a rare commodity these days !

the problem is we are stuck with this lot for another 4 years. Unless we have a snap election which I think is what we ahould have. We chose to leave, not which party will lead us in leaving or which dick head is prime minister.

You did, a good year ago.
What people need to realise is that, like myself, we Britons are not always money centric. We were/are a proud country that sometimes makes tough decisions and follows the more difficult path that is morally or nationally right, rather than financially lucrative. I am proud of that trait.
EU members announced they'll hold the first meetings without UK on the summit next week.
And the French at least will be keen to punish the UK pour encourager les autres.
You describe us as a "small" country, true, but as I said we can be a potent country as well. It is all about the make up and attitude of the population, not the square metre area of the turf We are a centre of excellence in technology and engineering. If we are as insignificant as some would like to believe, why has our decision spread shock waves across the World markets and political arena ?
I bet that in ten years time Germany and Turkey are the only ones remaining in the EU.
That is the best post in this whole thread!

That is the best post in this whole thread!Together with some ghettos hellholes like Brussels, London and Paris.
Obama basically said the US cares more about a trade agreement with all of EU than a single country since the EU-market is so much bigger, which makes sense. Why they (Obama and Cameron) supposedly believed that saying that would make more people vote for remain I'm not sure.
we have allegedly gotten trade offers from Russia
Excuse me. I live in Brussels (Schaarbeek yes). And I stay in Paris and London often. We aren't ghettos hellholes. Get real.
Excuse me. I live in Brussels (Schaarbeek yes). And I stay in Paris and London often. We aren't ghettos hellholes. Get real.So you are used to it. I had to work in Schaarbeek, sometimes in Paris, and it was a shock on a daily basis.
Or do you live in the rich part of it, and are your travels to london in the elitarian "bankers city"?

do actually believe what you read from the bbc? theguardian? and then propagate those as facts?
my hope is that we can now negotiate the trade that we originally thought we were buying into without all the other crap. My hope is that now we have to debate stuff in our own government instead of argue it in europe poeple will hear about what is going on and take an interest.
Well I voted leave ...well now we are out we have only ourselves to blame...The euro was the biggest fucking disaster ever... and had a British passport yet she was denied benefit so I sure hope migrants aren't getting a better deal than this.
And not a lot of people seem to realise that the Chinese put 100% import duty on everything they buy in so what are we playing at? No doubt somebody is gaining let me guess some big businessman that are importing this crap and then selling it to us for inflated prices that is why the government is weak on these things because big business speaks louder than those who elect them.
We are part of Europe, but we don't belong in the EU. It is the EU we have rejected, not the ordinary people of Europe.
The EU is fundamentally opposite to us culturally. As a German, I don't expect you to understand. I know a lot of Germans, mostly we get on, and we can have a drink and a laugh, but none actually understand English culture, just as I don't understand some of the things I've come across in Germany ('being the father' - culturally acceptable bullying from my point of view), we have very different history and geography and have made our way to where we are now separately.
My kids aren't facing a grimmer future now we've released ourselves from the EU. There may be some temporary
pain, but we'll get past it to hopefully a brighter future where we aren't tied to the failing EU experiment.
