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....

The pressure is building from the moaning 'remainer's' to have another
referendum on article50, well i think it's article50 they want another
referendum on, or is it the final negptiations...Or is it...
Tell the frickers to do one T.May, otherwise it will start looking like there is
going to be a...STITCH UP!!!!

TM does not need to do anything ..... she can (and i am sure she will) just carry on with Plan A and tell us what has or has not been achieved in the fullness of time
it's not impossible that there'll be some kind of ambush in parliament to derail the ratification of Article 50, but i think that would just precipitate an early GE, which i'm sure the labour party absolutely does not want

The Blairite Labour party would like an early GE, because even they arn't that
stupid to think that Corbyn and his cronies will win any election.
So the sooner there is an election the more it would suit those who want to
get rid of Corbyn.

Australian officials are ready to begin work on a free-trade deal with the UK, and have recently flown in to begin hammering out the details of a landmark pact, the country’s top official in Britain has revealed.
A senior negotiator from Canberra has already arrived in Britain, while top civil servants from Australia have briefed their counterparts in London on the ins and outs of trade deals, High Commissioner Alexander Downer told The Sunday Telegraph.
Theresa May met the Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, last month, when they agreed to kickstart trade talks imminently, while Australia’s trade minister also met his British counterpart Liam Fox.

an amusing cartoon - well done fred :-) !
TM and her cohorts have a very interesting and difficult path to tread, as indeed do the germans with their 27 "friends"
there is certainly an evens chance that the eu will implode (explode?) within the next 10 years, and in truth that would beto the benefit of none except arguably a fairly bellicose putin
nevertheless, i am increasingly glad (i think :-) ) that we are leaving the federal octopus

JP MORGAN CEO: Brexit makes euro collapse '5 times more likely'
The UK's vote to leave the European Union has made the chance of a eurozone collapse five times more likely, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon said.
Brexit made the "chances of the eurozone not surviving in the next decade five times higher," Dimon said according to a report in the Financial Times.
Dimon made the comments at a conference organised by the International Institute of Finance, which was attended by other Wall Street bank CEOs including Morgan Stanley boss James Gorman.
Dimon also said that Brexit would create uncertainty for the UK but not disaster.
"It will reduce the GDP of the UK. That’s not a disaster. It will create years of uncertainty. That’s not a disaster," he said.

The leaked Treasury paper exposing that the UK would lose 66 billion in tax
revenue a year was constructed before the referendum and was ALL part of
the project fear and scaremongering that was spewing from the pro-eu
remainer's, which didn't take into account any free trades negotiated with the
rest of the free world.
This latest expose' would have been instigated by a 'friend' of the late lamentable
'boy' george osborne at the Times.

The great Brexit stitch up starts in earnest today, by ALL the establishment
parties, they are still under the illusion that we LEAVERS didn't know what
we were voting for...
