    We'd be absolutely stupid to do the same thing!
    I really can't believe they were actually foolish enough to vote leave.

    Ho Hum, the Brits were saying the same thing in 1922 about us.


    A terrible beauty is born!

    Well done to the UK (if bloody scary for us)

    Oh I'm sorry for asking a question you deem irrelevant. *sigh*

    You're right. I mean, As long as Parcel Motel will still deliver stuff then why bother caring that pensions are about to be wiped out or that our export market is going to be on it's knees.

    you should have to do an IQ test prior to being allowed vote.
    That's the kind of loose condescension that helped the leave camp.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭ClovenHoof


    Can you imagine how tiny the Remain vote was before the murder of jo cox.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,009 ✭✭✭conorhal


    This vote hurts me right in the pension

    Don't worry, the neoliberal corporatist agenda of EU will be ensuring that retirement isn't on the cards for you anyway!

    Good reason for us to leave too then. :)

    not tiny,

    Yes, gets your glasses all steamed up by the look of it.

    Yeah we had Lisbon 2 but I think the Brits have slightly more respect for the people and the democratic process than to try a Brexit 2

    You do know that's exactly the face on Tory city boys and fat cat Eurocrats that enraged enough people to vote out don't you? Euro smugness was the undoing of their pet project that they assumed need not involve the 'little people'.

    Will it also mean the price of a 99 cone will go up?

    I wonder how this will eventually impact the likes of Parcel Motel/Parcel Wizard.

    thanks for that, genuinely. needed a laugh. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,395 ✭✭✭sjb25


    Let Northern Ireland have a referendum to join Republic of Ireland.

    Sounds great in theory but do we really want the headaches of some of the lunatics (on both sides) becoming our problem

    Here you have an entity that was not democraticly voted for making decisions that effect everything from the pillow you sleep on to the chair you sit on, it pulverized small business.
    Now they spend €120,000,000 per year.. trekking from Brussels to Strasbourg, the politicians, their staff , all the paperwork because it would take a referendum to change the venue where they vote in. They travel every month.
    They have a system where the top boys select themselves and their salary. Why is this good for me? I hope Ireland grow up and do the same.
    Who needs WW3? Germany are already ruling Europe.

    Calling the breakup of the UK. Heard an interesting programme the other day saying london would go for independence in the next decade or so. Could be sooner based on brexit.

    I can see Scotland getting their second chance and taking it and maybe the north pulling out too.

    Yup, I have a number Scottish friends who were vehemently opposed to Scottish independence but as of this morning, they all want another referendum on the issue as they'd rather leave the UK than the EU.

    It'll be a tenner. And you'll have to cover it with thousands and millions :(

    I predict very little will change.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,845 ✭✭✭timthumbni


    Perhaps that useful idiot Corbyn will do the decent thing and stand down also. He's about as appealing to voters as sour milk.

    Fantastic news. Hopefully the Danes and Dutch will do the same thing and this disgusting, undemocratic monolith will crumble and fall. Bin the Euro and return to the EEC and leave it at that.

    its not some pay back for 'Tory city boys' or Eurocrats and if it is then it is so deluded

    Ireland has been a massive receptor of EU benefits over the years ...You talk as if there is some cowardice in being in the EU .....

    I think you are mixing up having the Euro to being in the EU ...as I can see no other reason for your ill informed views and negative 'stick to the man' posts

    This will have a real impact on your pocket and markets, city boys etc exist for a reaon

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭omahaid


    I'm actually very pro-EU but the Brits made the decision it wasn't a good fit for them and I applaud them in making the decision.

    It would be worse if the people blindly followed what their "betters" told them to do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    The EU has been out of control for too long. People signed up from free movement and free trade, not all the bolloxology that the EU has engaged in over recent times.

    But an independent Scotland would by no means by guaranteed a place in the eu. I'm looking at Spain here. They wouldn't want to give Scotland entry for a start.

    So are people smart then for deciding what way to vote in a massive, life changing referendum based on a stranger on the internet calling them stupid? Seems like sort sort of cyclical self fullfilling prophecy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,916 ✭✭✭✭iguana

    They don't need to. Our referendums are constitutional and legally binding. The Brexit referendum was legally an extremely expensive opinion poll. Parliament can vote not to ratify it. I wouldn't be too surprised if the next step is that the new British PM goes to Europe to attempt to negotiate a new deal. Then parliament votes to accept that and claim this way everyone gets what they want. Brexiters ensured a better deal for the UK within the EU and remain supporters get to stay.

    Now they can kick out all those Yoooropeans coming in and taking their jobs.

    Mourinho, Wenger, Klopp, Guardiola, Conte... AND all their friends they give jobs to as "players".
