Dublin looks like it's going to benefit a lot from all of this. I work in a company that does a fair amount of business with large city law firms. There are a few in the Top 20 who are busy negotiating to be licensed under the Irish legal system.

We're going to need a bigger ballot paper. Some people might have wanted to stick it to the EU but not to the Tories, some to the Tories but not the EU, some both...

Maybe we should vote via the medium of interpretive dance.

so maybe we could have a ballot matrix to cover off all permutations of staying, leaving and to which particular governing body you wish to stick it to..

then maybe 11% of the electorate could win this by a comfortable margin

I'd feel compelled to fill in the matrix in such a manner that it either reveals a picture of a kitten, or a QR code that resolves to guyfawkeshaditright.org.uk

undeniable logic

time to start the campaign: Sporky for president of the People's Largely Democratic Republic of Englishland

You sure?

He'd make Morris Dancing compulsory daily exercise for everyone under 65.

What would his party be called?

"Fewer, not less" comes to mind.

that's where the "Largely Democratic" part comes into play

I am not getting that bit.
Why?

I thought the calming was down to the fairly obvious direction of travel (not leaving/Norway Plus)

I like the name. Not sure about the dancing.

Maybe "One man, one vole". And I'll be the man with the vole.

It'll be democratic in that anyone will be allowed to pipe up with a suggestion. Depending on how many there are I may read them all, or I may read a random selection via tombola. I will then enact the ones I like.

The name is very you, Sporkster.

Pressure being applied by the EU .. Dave was there today .. Merkel's told us to fuck off, Junker's going to split the UK, Sturgeon's off to the EU on Friday to talk about a deal with the EU .. France has told us to whistle for a deal and said we should be thrown out.

After FUD comes FUD 2 the bigger better threat to your prosperity .. then along comes May and decides we're better off Remaining. The EU chucks a bone and like an obedient dog we wag our tails and come to heel.

If he throws in zero tax on beer, wines and spririts, he's got my vote. Oh and petrol.

... This is hard, but I'm doing it in those places where I've discussed my position and reasons for voting out.

I was wrong to vote Leave. I still don't want to be so closely integrated that I lose my Britishness, which was my main reason for voting as I did, but on reflection I was wrong to chuck the baby out with the bathwater.

There are lots of people who feel like I do right now. I'm about to take an closer interest in politics, and see if there's some way to get out of this mess that I helped create.

This is hard for me to come to terms with, and not a little humiliating.

Back on topic, I'm really starting to feel like Article 50 won't be triggered. I don't see anyone having the appetite to actually go through with it, and if there's a General Election called before hand I think whoever campaigns best on a Remain platform will win.

digitalscream · June 2016

@hobbio - I'm impressed. This isn't exactly the easiest environment to admit that in, so well done.

hobbio · June 2016

Yeah, well, gotta grasp the nettle. Anyway, I used and shared the breentry website on FB along with the post above. I'm expecting some shit in 5...4...3...2...1...I'm off to check FaceBook!

breakstuff · June 2016

That pretty much sums up my feelings @hobbio.I feel a bit of a twat at the minute.

hobbio · June 2016

Mate, it's horrible. Still, it's far from over.
