Nope, they're having their own probs. Two elections in 6 months and they haven't been able to form government yet due to no absolute majority and lack of cooperation between parties to form a coalition.

They won't need to chase them out. They'll have to run home because they won't be able to afford the medical insurance otherwise.

May saying EU nationals could be deported as she would hold said human beings to ransom in negotiations.

Can we not have a lead runner who's not a despicable cunt?

A clear point and I can empathise with you position. Especially the way UK politics has been recently! Have you considered moving?
With all the doom and gloom over the decision, I still expect most people will stay and get on with it. It isn't the end of the world and things might be subjectively better in the long run. Change creates opportunity. I'm not enthusiastic about a free-market driven economy myself but have experienced the advantages as well as the challenges.

Some time yet, I don't think it's going to happen to be honest

There's been some suggestion instigating Article 50 may need an act of parliament to be triggered as the legality of doing so without it is in question.

Which would delay things at least and we could end up with a GE that ends up being a de-facto 2nd referendum.

And if it does happen, well I live in Scotland which leaves open the possibility of emigrating without moving house.

My wife also has Canadian citizenship :D

Farage has resigned.

For once in my life [probably], I'm going to link Julie Burchill. Although I voted the other way, she puts some entertaining meat on the bones of my complaint against "wall-to-wall tears before bedtime" - not recommended for the thin-skinned however.

Read it. She came across as a thin skinned whiner rather than someone whose view was vindicated. also kind pf missed the point as the establishment have been invonvenienced but still hold all the cards.

When you see people with faces like this one and/or saying things like the above makes you again realize how, with sadness, those are PRECISELY reasons why "people that knows how to do/what to do and want to do" are seldom going to appear in politics .. because "politics" it's the last place in the universe they'd want to be in ...

Which brings to the sad conclusions .. that the only ones that want to be into politics "are those that want to be into politics" that are "the people like them" .. which often are the most UNsuitable to take decisions and do stuff properly ..

It gets even worse when they truly believe "they are going to do for the good of many" .. that's when you feel you are going to be totally screwed up ..

There's no solution .. it's curse ...

To be fair to Giant Enemy Crabb he never said that.

Though I am 100% certain he thinks it

What complete and utter mess this Brexit is turning into politically. The best news is Farage leaving, Maybe he will join the tories and become PM.
