The EU are going to punish Britain for leaving just the same as rUK was going to punish Scotland had we voted YES. They are going to make it their mission that this decision becomes a failure and is an example to any other EU members thinking of jumping ship. Just the same as rUK would have made it their mission to see a newly independent Scotland struggle and fail. 

Remember shortly before the Scottish referendum when Cameron flew to Shetland for a mystery visit. Well he was going to offer that they stay in the UK had it been YES (as they clearly did not support independence). Pretty sure that would have happened had we voted YES. Well if that was ok back then then it is ok now and if the EU offered Scotland and NI that option as a fukk you to England it would be a great way for them to start on their mission to make Britain (or more accurately England & Wales) pay for their act of rebellion.

This could get very tasty.

The Leave camp seem to be a bit "oh christ what have we done here". Looking at and listening to Gove and Boris there was not inspiring confidence at all. This is going to be amusing! :lol:

Been thinking the very same. Granted (and with good reason to be fair) Farage has been triumphant - but Boris / Gove seem almost sheepish

Motion of No Confidence against Corbyn raised by 2 Labour MP's 

I guess the Socialist utopia isn't going to follow the Leave vote after all....

He will survive.  The membership shall see to it.  I'm just waiting for the 100/1 odds released from the bookies.

Although if the Blairites did somehow manage to oust the leader with the largest majority in history...  Kumnio could very well get his wish.

What wish? I can't recall posting anything about Corbyrn?

I take it I can toss away my EU Health Insurance card now?

? Tony Hancock ripped up his ration book and threw it in the air in celebration after world war 2 ended. How was I to know rationing would last till 1954 :lol:

Ah ok, in that case, the sooner, the better.

I know you mean well...  But the Labour movement delivered all them workers rights that people have spent the last few months pretending the EU did, and we kinda need the Labour party intact.  Feel free to help purge it of Blairites though :)

Labour, in any guise, are finished. The UK is now Tory Central, the vision that you believe in* will never be delivered, not a chance in hell.

* And I.

They'd have said the same about Independence when support was at it's lowest.  Would you have listened?

If you moved to UKIP, chances are you are a xenophobic racist, these people will not back a left wing government.

its not as simple as that. Labour totally disconnected with its core vote on a range of issues. Personally I would prefer Corbyn to remain but I don't think he understands what is happening outside London.
