Less than half an hour to go, we are leaving the EU.
What's your thoughts about Brexit?

About bloody time! Shame we had to wait till we have been asset stripped of anything we could find that was worth having first. Now we have no manufacturing industry, our power & water services etc all seem to be owned by outsiders, & our mining industry has been decimated. Now we are coming out, it's like trying to play cricket without a fucking bat!
We can only hope that our esteemed govt will now pile some funds into building this country back up into a world leader again instead of selling us out to the bloody tanks. Out of the frying pan & all that....😕😉

The really sad part is non of the above is the fault of the EU,its entirely the fault of successive British Governments (which have always had power of veto over any EU policy it didnt want applied here) and asset stripping British corporate short termism.We've had 47 years to reform the EU if it wasn't working or to sort out its practices but successive British governments chose not.Theyve both chosen to sell off our industries and state assets to foreign interests and now theres nothing left. If you think its going to change for the better now we're out of the EU, well keep taking the tablets. Im too old to see any benefit from Brexit by the time the damage is repaired, I just feel gutted for the young folks of this country including my young kids who have have their freedom of movement and right to live and work anywhere in Europe and their future robbed from them by lying rich fuckers who sold the electorate a dream of a return to the British Empire days. In reality a parochial xenophobic racist backwater shithole like it was when i grew up,dancing to the tune of the US....but now to China too. Fuck Brexit and Fuck Brexiteers. Birth of the Little Engelander Reich,give them a few years theyll be wearing pretty uniforms and jackboots.   |

My main worry is what will happen when, if all that's been promised doesn't materialise. There will a lot of very unhappy people about.

Well as im often told "suck it up"...ill be happy to say it back to them when their jobs are all vanishing and theyre grovelling in the gutter begging for food.
With any luck it will finally bring an end to the corrupt one-sided union so Scotland and Northern Ireland get the freedom from England they want.

We're fucked in or out unless the govt starts to actually give a shit about the people they are supposed to be working for. As you say we're too old to see any benifit, maybe our kids will benifit, maybe not. We voted out, all the self serving politicians have done since then is try to secure the best outcome for themselves & ignore the wishes of the people. That action alone should be enough to show us that they should be out of their jobs. Maybe a lot of us did vote leave out of frustration at the whole EU fiasco. Fact is someone has been having our pants down for too many years now & things need to change. Too many people are too comfortable with the whole thing & nothing was going to change unless something major happened. Maybe this is the catalyst to start things moving. We can only hope & pray now....

Other countries WILL follow and it's odds on for either Italy, Poland or Denmark to leave next. Any hope that I had in the EU went down the pan with subsidies and when they gave billions (our money included) to Greece to bail them out. FFS why, they're dead in the water and like other dodgy economies which are trying to suck what they can from the union it's just a matter of time and when it does go there'll be more tears than those the losers are shedding now.
Bottom line, the skies not falling, little will change, we're still nobodies at the bottom of the ladder bumbling along in our own slot in society, we're out and there's no point or mileage in being a sour loser or a happy winner, we need to go forward and make a better place for the future generations and at the same time keep our lifestyles working.
I've many regrets on missed opportunities in the past but now, no time for negative energy or bitterness or gloating over it like Farage, twunt, but the country needs to still hold hands with Europe, which we will.

Think I'll hedge my bets and move to Scotland in case they break off and Join the E.U in distant future  |

The money we were forced to 'give' to Greece was, in truth, so it could repay some of the money back it owed to the German banks. We never bailed out Greece, in reality, we bailed out the German banks. Greece never saw a penny of it. |
