Brexit

brexit eu roadsign

In a previous post I remarked that none of us knew what was around the corner;  well now we know.

$70billion wiped off our share market today and there are headwinds ahead  and the Aussie dollar has dropped

Worldwide there will be repercussions as a result of the vote in Britain.

If ever there was a time to be cautious it is now;  we have no surplus to fall back on anymore!

I wonder what Mr Shorten is going to do now re all his promises which are going to cost $16billion compared to $4billion  of the government.

He may well have to revise his polices for the coming election.

Meanwhile, sweating the small stuff ...

Some of the EU requirements apparently:
• Ban on high-powered appliances such as kettles, toasters, hair-dryers … Telegraph.
• Ban on curvy bananas and crooked cucumbers
• Incandescent lightbulbs regulations
• Vacuum cleaner crackdown
• Drinking water does not prevent dehydration
• 'Diabetics' banned from driving
• It is illegal to eat your pet horse
• Jams, jellies and marmalade guidelines
• Olive oil in restaurants ... refill ban
And so on according to the Daily Mail.

:) Maybe the small everyday stuff matters to those involved.

HUNDREDS of migrants shouting "f*** the UK" have stormed the roads in and around Calais and hurled rocks at British motorists in a desperate attempt to reach the UK before Britons decide whether or not to leave the EU.By NICK GUTTERIDGE http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/681614/Calais-migrants-refugees-Britain-UK-EU-referendum-Brexit-Euro-2016

Had emails from friends in the UK, the situation there is very tense. Some Brits are even talking of leaving the country.

The favourite for PM is Boris and apparently he is a bit of a madcap.

Banjo, I have Brits who are members of the gym, they are bl***y scared for their relatives.

People are avoiding going out at night, because in some areas, gangs line the street corners andthe police have to keep moving them on.

We could very well be in the same position if our government does not keep steadfast in keeping the borders closed.

Agree!

Watch Nigel UKIP in EU where he is one of the MPs telling them just what he thinks.

We need a bloke like him to stand up for us - well most of us not infected with leftism that is. EU of course is complete nest of them.

And of course yet to address the real subject that did the final pissing off of so many Brits. Immigration and in particular re Muslims and the No Go areas plus the government appeasing them. Had enough of that with Chamberlain and Hitler. Never works to appease a bully.

Fun to see the lefties getting almost in tantrums as they do if cant get own way. Resemble the Muslims in that.

Pound is on way up already exporting more due to being lower, it will all pan out in the end and Brits will be a lot better off.

Here is link

So will we if we cant get our lot to follow. And not bow to left who are trying to rubbish having a gay plebiscite here now too as suspect No will be answer. Left are such babies hurl abuse if not got own way all the time and then predicte gloom and doom. Well doom comes with listening to them IMHO. All run away and cry save us if anything happens but first off in power and cut Army and all defence budgets. Historical evidence exists in abundance. So no hurling prove it here with so many lefties, dont have too.

Quote Big Val: "infected with leftism "

Love it...

Interesting state of affairs in the UK...the head of the Labour Party is not being well supported by his fellow parliamentarians.

80% want him to resign;  he won't...too funny for words LOL.

WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT BREXIT? – I am Australian. I grew up in Australia. In primary school we had an assembly every morning in which we pledged allegiance to Great Britain and the Queen. We travelled to England without problems. Many young people went there to work for 12 months. Then came the European Common Market, followed by EU membership. Many Australian businesses suffered, especially agricultural businesses. The Tasmanian apple industry crashed. Family businesses ceased to be. The only solution for sheep farmers was the live export trade to the Middle East, for which we were heavily criticized, but had no other option. Our wool was sent mainly to China. When we arrived as tourists at Heathrow Airport, we stood in a long slow line of “foreigners” while people from many European countries were processed in the fast lane.

Despite all that America is criticized for (and much of it deservedly so), when I moved there for 5 years I was greeted and welcomed cheerfully as an Australian from day one at LA airport. I was told I could collect my luggage from the man “just over there”. He was a huge African American, and I said “you must be ‘The Man’. He said, “Oh yeah! I’m ‘the man’ for sure!”. He slapped me on the back and with a big smile he said, “You’re an Aussie! Welcome to America!".  I applied for and was granted my green card in just a few months. So UK, stay in the EU or leave because, guess what, I don’t care.

 

.... so why bother to find/comment on a Topic from 2 years ago?  You must care then?   Just sayin'     lol  

it appals me that it would appear Boris Johnson may become PM...what a come down from the likes of Winston Churchill!

hahaha Boris!  He will just join all the other "nutters" that are in power (worldwide) right now!  No surprise!

I wish someone would explain to me how it is that Boris J isn't considered a deserter for leaving his leader high and dry when as Foreign Secretary he had an important role in organising for exit. It is true that he seemed to want a more complete break than Mrs. May's negotiations may have achieved but does any body really think either that you can negotiate without some flexibility or that a country can not make some value of such a long liaison.

Were it war than some Churchill's implacability would be appropriate but i cannot see that this is anything like war, more like friends and partners working out how best to operate together.
