At the risk of repeating myself, what did they vote for Scott?

Nobody seems to agree what they voted for so if nobody knows what it is, how can anyone turn their back on it?

I voted for - to scrap the open door policy, Millions upon Millions of people can just come in from all of the four corners of Europe, we need to control Migration.

To stop paying 34 million pounds a day ( of tax payers money ) into the EU.

Let's just hope David Davis gets his points across for Brexit.

But neither of those things were what the electorate were voting on.

The vote was about whether or not we should remain a member of the European Union. 

I hope nobody is going to try and railroad through anything that's not to do with what we voted for.

I think we're more respected around the world due to Brexit, Donald Trump said it was an amazing thing that the British people stood up to a failed EU.

We haven't left the EU yet and we won't for at least two years.

I know, but we are leaving, and the remain party said it would be catastrophic if we did leave.

But everything seems fine.

Yes.....because (and I'm typing this v e r y   s l o w l y now, in the vain hope that it might actually go in).....We haven't left yet.

Sluffy.... Get this madman away from me.

Now you are helping Scott's confusion even more.

Curve ball, let's see what he does with it.

Scott is right. When the result was announced the doom and gloom merchants were predicting the end of the world within weeks.

That hasn't happened, quite the opposite.

Do you actually think we have left the EU?

Of course not. But go back to the posts around the time of the vote - the doom and gloom merchants were predicting the collapse of the economy within weeks of the vote.

I think the "Remainers" are genuinely annoyed that unemployment hasn't hit 10 million and the price of bread hasn't hit £2 per slice.

The truth is we are British and will make the best of it. It's what we do.

There's a massive difference between "making the best of it" and "doing what's best".

"Making the best of it" is singing Knees Up Mother Brown in an Underground station, surrounded by your friends and neighbours, while the Luftwaffe rain bombs down on your street.

If I got my knob stuck in the end of my vacuum cleaner hose and made it bleed, I would "make the best" of the situation by going to A&E and begging for help.

However, I would probably be considered a bit of a dickhead for putting myself in that situation in the first place and if my knob failed to make a full recovery and I wound up permanently with a "Liam Trotter" (ie a useless knob) as a result, it'd be my own fault and I wouldn't be deserving of any sympathy.

"Doing what's best" would be avoiding shoving your chap up the hoover in the first place.

The British people will 'make the most of it' is a completely hollow statement when it comes to the economy. We live in a globalised world and as such our fate is going to depend on the actions of other economic super powers. 

That's why the fact nothing has happened yet is so important, we don't know what kind of deal we'll have with the EU and if it's poor we can't expect big business to keep investing, Japan and the US have made that clear at the G20. It will be interesting to see what China does as relationships with them are more likely to be stressed by Hinkley.

Being in the EU was like having our knob stuck in the Hoover, thank fuck we got it out, we're free now.

And the Germans will still be making our cars, the French will still be selling us wine - I see great deals coming from all around the world - it's very exciting - walking around being unattached.

You make my point perfectly though. You've banged on for months about the refugee situation, as have many like you, but when push comes to shove you do nothing. Brits moan but just get on with it, which is what we'll do when we leave the EU.

You've no idea what I have or haven't done, if you think it's nothing then you'd be surprised. But that's not the point. We can't effect Bolton Wanderers but it doesn't stop us occasionally talking about football, we can't effect the economy individually but we all have an opinion on what those than can should be doing differently.

I have. Nothing except make posts on a football forum.
