The backtracking has begun, no changes to immigration is one I didn't see coming to be fair.

People in Britain have had enough of the elite. Yes the elite have the money and yes they supply most of the jobs. The middle class is becoming the working class and the working class the poor whilst the upper class just get richer by the day. The vote to leave imo was a vote to give the elite a bloody nose but i think that it may just backfire as the first people to lose their jobs will be the factory workers, the cleaners etc. In other words those on minimum wage. The rich will lose as well but losing 5% of say ten quid is easier to digest than to lose 5% of a quid. Britain is in for a rough ride but i think that in the years to come it will be to the benefit of the country as its just plain stupid to be handing out money to the EU where your own NHS is suffering and people are living hand to mouth. Every country needs its migrants as it adds value but countries dont not need people who just want the benefits.

I just hope that it all works out for everybody as Britain is a great country.

missing link, only the PM can trigger article 50. Brussels are trying to force his hand and make it a rough ride to try deter other EU countries from having a referendum. IMO the EU will be shot of within the next 10-15 years.

Brexit is unachievable in reality in my opinion.

everybody on both sides should now settle down as the in fighting is only harming the country. Now they, the politicians, must stop the lies and come clean and move on with the process. The country have to know whats in store so that we can prepare ourselves for any hard knocks that are coming.

Germany refusing informal talks until article 50 is triggered. It's going to be a tough couple months for the UK but they have no choice now but to wait and hope for an EU disintegration. If that doesn't start happening in the next 6 months to a year then England are in dire trouble. It's going to be about who cracks first here and the Italian vote may be even bigger than the Brexit vote for the future of the EU.

Another bit of scaremongering by our financial expert.
I've heard that Germany,USA and Canada want special trade deals with post brexit UK.
Missing Link, you are guessing.You don't know what is going to happen in the future.
Have you any opinion on the rand and South Africas position financially for the future.
You seem overly concerned about a country thousand of miles away from your abode.

Indeed I do not know what is going to happen in the future but I am certain that prospects are much more grim than they were last week. Financial markets run by certainty or lack there of and they show this is the most uncertain time in Britain for over 40 years. A smile on the face and believing that everything is definitely going to be ok would be naive.

Since you asked, my opinion on the South African rand is simple. Hold as few as possible when the elections come around. Local elections in August may run smoothly (unlikely though) but the next national elections are going to be disastrous for the rand with a relative degree of certainty. We also need a minor miracle to avoid a downgrade in the next 12 months and Brexit was probably the final nail in the coffin for a December downgrade so our position financially is pretty awful.

The referendum was only of interest to me as, I watch at least one hour of Sky news per day,and the debates become quite interesting,and reel you in.
The one thing that struck me,all the way through, was ,if your life is not so great right now ,why would the word "remain" make sense,in any context!!!
On that basis ,anybody feeling the pinch, was likely to vote "leave"
It seems the likes of Cameron were completely out of touch with how many people were feeling about their situation!

Nobody cares abt Africa. The GDP of Africa is rounded off in the decimals of the global GDP, figuratively. Nobody, cares.

Politicians cannot stop lies as it would be counter to their nature... :whistle:

I'm too lazy to check so can some-one help with a brief explanation of article 50 and what a trigger thereof means...
