ragwert Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Posted June 24, 2016 I have to say I was not expecting that.David Camerons position is untenable & I can see him resign by lunch time. Quote
lpusseycat Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 Great news a new start for this country Herefordshire voted out. Quote
greenknight Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 All this aside...just think a moment about the very near future...President of the USA Donald Trump, Russia and Putin, President Xi Jenping, and Boris Johnston. All ravin mad but two trying to decide whether their hair justifies their presence on "Love Island". Bloody Hell. Quote

Glenda Powell Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 The atmosphere in the Leisure Centre was electric, when the vote to Leave was announced for Herefordshire the cheers nearly raised the roof off its rafters. At 5.30am the Leave team made an announcement to thank the counting staff for all their hard work. I personally would like to thank the people of Newton Farm for their support during my campaign to leave. Also to the people of Belmont, Hunderton and Redhill, give yourself a pat on the back.

herefordman75 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 There is no guarantee that Boris will be the next PM though - that will have to go through the usual process of decision making. Quote
greenknight Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 Irrespective of the above and of course not to make the situation any worse I see Nicola Sturgeon has wasted no time in pushing for another referendum for Scotland. She may see this as an opportunity however this may well be the biggest mistake the SNP will ever make. Quote
ragwert Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Posted June 24, 2016 A vote of no confidence in Jeremy Corbin has been announced and will be put to the committee on Monday so it is looking like he's about to go too.Probably jump before he is pushed IMO. Quote
Denise Lloyd Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 I woke up at about 2 o'clock this morning put the radio on and heard more or less what I needed to know. Dozing/waking for the next few hours I woke up at sometime to hear a male being interviewed who let slip the f word - in the context of f... the benefits. It was auto bleeped out and nobody commented on his slip up. I wonder was I the only one to hear that but it did make me smile at the time. Sad old git that I am! David Cameron is not somebody I care for but over the 6 years he has had to tackle some enormous challenges and nobody can criticise him for lack of effort. I do not blame him for wanting to get out of the viper's nest and spend some time with his wife and family Good luck to him he tried. Quote

atm63 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 Driving from Gloucester to Hereford via Dymock recently we lost count of the Vote Leave signs . First stay sign we saw was on Aylestone Hill Quote
ragwert Posted June 24, 2016 Author Report Posted June 24, 2016 Thoughts ........ A Prime Minister resigned. The £ plummeted. The FTSE 100 lost significant ground. But then the £ rallied past February levels, and the FTSE closed on a weekly high: 2.4% up on last Friday, its best performance in 4 months. President Obama decided we wouldn't be at the 'back of the queue' after all and that our 'special relationship' was still strong. The French President confirmed the Le Touquet agreement would stay in place. The President of the European Commission stated Brexit negations would be 'orderly' and stressed the UK would continue to be a 'close partner' of the EU. A big bank denied reports it would shift 2,000 staff overseas. The CBI, vehemently anti-Brexit during the referendum campaign, stated British business was resilient and would adapt. Several countries outside the EU stated they wished to begin bi-lateral trade talks with the UK immediately. If this was the predicted apocalypse, well, it was a very British one. It was all over by teatime. Not a bad first day of freedom. Quote
Denise Lloyd Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 And of course the promise of a General Election sooner rather than later. Local opposition please start gathering your troops and get it right this time!! Ragwert I think I will have to listen to the radio you listen to all I hear is negativity on my radio Quote
megilleland Posted June 26, 2016 Report Posted June 26, 2016 Some sad people on the internet after the Referendum. If they don't like the referendum result you need to start a petition! At least the young have suddenly realised that if you want to change something they willl need to get out and vote - not moan afterwards when the result has been declared. Hopefully we will see more youngsters voting in the future local elections and general elections. I think all people should vote at elections even if it means marking that you abstain on the ballot paper. Quote
megilleland Posted June 26, 2016 Report Posted June 26, 2016 Spain go to the elections today as they failed to get a ruling government last year. I imagine there will be further upset for the EU as our Brexit vote will greatly influence their result and weaken the EU's grip on the ordinary person. Interesting times ahead. Quote
ragwert Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Posted June 26, 2016 Jeremy Corbin sacking Hillary Benn must be the last straw for the shadow cabinet,I see resignations throughout the day.He will probably hold on to the door handle as tight as he can silly man. Quote
Denise Lloyd Posted June 26, 2016 Report Posted June 26, 2016 Will a new Party emerge in the next few weeks? Labour is buggared so if/when there is an election the Cons will win again. Quote

So using their argument the current government can not represent the general populous Quote
Richard Bandler Posted June 26, 2016 Report Posted June 26, 2016 I am staggered that the young'uns have been blaming the olduns for voting the country out. Only 24% of the 18-24 year olds managed to drag themselves to vote, need to look at their mates before blaming the wrinklies! Quote
megilleland Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 Nigel Farage first speech post-Brexit vote in the EU parliament: You're not laughing now. One man talking sense while hundreds in our two main political parties argue among themselves. Quote
ragwert Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Posted July 5, 2016 What's that coming over the hill...The Tories..Good reaction to Euro exit Quote
