It's already obvious what will happen regardless. Government is going to be blamed for the clear decline likely to come in the EU economy. Then where are we left, the big concern will be driving people towards UKIP en masse.

Questioning your government and press certainly is not a sign of stupidity n88uk.

no, not at all. Not everybody has a giant amount of idle time on his hands to research something as complex as the EU. One of the reasons why there should never be referendums on complex topics. There's a reason we vote in general elections for people who have the time and ressources to inform themselves and make rational decisions on our behalf

Because let's face it it's actually mission impossible to achieve what the average leave voter wants. The average leave voter wants us to prosper, but wants immigrants out. Basically in other terms they want us to have access to the single market, but not the other way around. In other words an unachievable task.

I did zero research on the EU and could see through most of that stuff for what it was, ie. bollocks.

Let's start with maybe the most important figure bandied about in the campaign. We will save £350m a week. This isn't a lot of money. Yet people don't realise this because they just think 350m, that's an unthinkable sum. That is nothing compared to our economy. So this whole figure which was the most important one of the campaign was a scare tactic from the off.

That's without even getting into the fact we won't save £350m a week anyway, what do they think, the EU will just gives us access to the single market for nothing?

The problem tho, is the remain campaign was just as bad. World War III coming soon. ffs. There were as many lies on both sides, no worse than any General election. Where it was worse, was the general sentiment.

David Cameron may be on his way out of Number 10, but Larry the cat will not be following him, the BBC's Jack Evans reports.

Downing Street's official mouser was recruited by Mr Cameron from London's Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in 2011.

Sources close to No 10 tell Jack that Larry has become the adopted cat of the Downing Street staff and will not leave with the Camerons on Wednesday.

But history suggests the tabby might not be overly confident about his future. His predecessor, Humphrey, moved out six months after Labour's 1997 general election win, with Tony Blair's wife Cherie denying reports her dislike for the animal was to blame.

Also the mayor of London is already putting out wild threats. They are pure scare tactics, but the mere tactic is a scare tactic of activating article 50.

Talking about how London needs x amount of money to see it through this period or it might have to seek putting up border control around the M25 (if you don't know the M25 is a motorway that rings around London).

This is a pure scare tactic, but when 60% of the countries wealth makes big threats, they tend to get their way.

just making it "leave or stay" is the chance of you EU friendly folks though. That's what makes it possible to stay in a very similar relationship to what it is now, just with less power of course.

Why did you put Plain? If he seriously threatened it, it would be GSM Remain. Britain would be checkmated into remaining, there would be no other options.

Mr Khan said he was not "asking for London to get a bigger slice of the British pie", but for Londoners to "get more control over the slice of the pie we already get."
