Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Who is William Oliver Healey ?

He seems to be a bit shy.

I would suggest that the Remain camp consider the five stages of bereavement:

Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up learning to live with the one we lost.

Don't forget Junker, heres his framework:

There you go Freda recovery is possible. Step 1 admit you are powerless off constantly being a twat! And then follow each step. Mind, when you reach Step 3 no longer confuse a higher power as being Neil Kinnock LOL!!! You never know what rewards a full recovery could bring. Getting off your fat arse and actually voting may bring serenity! We all live in hope xxx

Fred , Cameron was forced into promising a referendum by the public backing UKIP in more and more numbers over the last few years. He never wanted one in a million years.

Lol , that French FM can rant , cry and jump up and down and demand what he wants but he can't do feck all about it.

Oh the joys of an out vote.

The German Foreign Minister can feck off too.

Why don't those Europeans mind their own business.

Lol , if I was Cameron I would turn my phone ... that'll wind them up.

regardless of a great many things, including juncker trying to bully, there will be numerous twists and turns to follow over the coming 24 months

the end result could even be that there is little difference to the status quo

24 Months plus from now till article 50 activated, maybe 6 months.

I can see us having a trade deal that allows free movement of people or something similar. The deal won't be too good as it would encourage other countries to leave. If they see us with a good deal outside without the politics then lots will leave.

I reckon thıs ıs a Berlın Wall moment. Collapse very soon of the entıre EU totalıtarian state.

Surely the "Free-movement" concept is about as good as "Right to bear arms" - their original meaning has been distorted over time.

For example: to reduce our Prison population we could export prisoners ( in effect like Napoleon =banish), to the EU where they float about serving their time. Sadly "Free-movement" also means they could come back! (sooner rather than later.).

LBC speaker suggested the "immigration" problem was encouraged by Labour from about 2000-20010 - perhaps this was to bolster their support from lower-paid workers....since their better-paid supporters had drifted to the Tories . . . ( maybe?)

I find this talk that we need so many folks to do our menial jobs quite surprising - as I thought we could produce enough babies here. Is it the lack of a Baby-bonus that stifles the low-paid? We should be looking to our own IMHO - and provide housing for our ex-military rather than encourage long-term immigration.
Case in point: That African (was he?) who walked through the channel-tunnel ) 18-months ago?), has been granted asylum . . . yet surely the first EU country he visited was safe enough? (And supposing he was being persecuted politically - and not for any crime.).
The EU has ( it appears) no policy in Military matters - and it seems it is incapable of defending its Borders against young men arriving in rubber boats. So it is the EU that is creating this massive migration as folks (quite selflishly - and who can blame them?), want to reach the land(s) of what appears to be "Plenty".

Wasn't the reason Brexit won down to Immigration?

No-one wanted Market Turmoil ( well maybe the City types that stayed up that night )

What I don't understand is how they placed their "bets" with the Markets closed - or was this on-line spread-betting perhaps - ie no shares involved?

Oh dear, it will end soon....... but not soon enough!

A very interesting comment. I also think you may well be right.

I have a friend who is a risk analyst for a major international foreign bank. She was told to come in to work at 4:00 am when leave looked likely as were all the trading staff. All the risk algorithms had to be rewritten. The real market attitude to Brexit won't come until next week.

Lots of trading was going on in the auctions which are held before the market opens.

In the auctions, there would first be massive markdown. Any traders with the balls to buy such very cheap stock would then be abe to sell a little later, when the markets opened properly, and thereby clock a good profit.

Bullshare (or any other 'pro's' out there)

I dare bet you would be at least 'watching the auction/markets', even if you weren't trading. Would you mind please commenting on my comment?

Want to feel sorry for someone?

How about Sir Philip Green, who had already committed to help the BHS pension scheme about a week earlier. Now the only way I reckon he could have done that was to put his hand in his pocket and pull out a few £10m's.

Here's an article which reckons Brexit might have cost him around £365m at the low point on Friday I dare bet he and his team are at least doing some re-thinking on the level of pension help he was first thinking up:

As far as the Pound is concerned, the Australian and Tokyo exchanges were open all night.
