Nope, they are preparing to use the UK as a demonstration as to what happens when to pull out. And it won't be pleasant for the UK.


Let's not forget, Foxy - you swallowed the ?350m/week lie hook, line and sinker.

This. Let's not forget that without Hitler to give us something to fight against Mosely and the Blackshirts would quite possibly have done very well in the UK - the same Daily Mail that had the headline "Hurrah for the Blackshirts!" hasn't evolved that much, and I believe it's still Britain's most popular "newspaper." Worrying times.

Completely agree here. The U.K. Is going to be made such an example of by the EU just to show how difficult and unpleasant it will be. We're going to come out of this pretty badly and I fear the EU will negotiate terms after our departure to ones we would have liked.


Farage should be made accountable for such gross lies and empty promises. Makes my skin crawl.

On my Twitter feed - where I follow a couple of US media - getting promoted tweets to "move on and invest in the isle de Paris" clearly aimed at US business investment; I expect this is happening everywhere - German, French, Irish targeting International investors - A Brexit Uk govt bet get on with establishing us as this "free from the shackles of the EU" enterprise island pretty soon or we are going to end up as the poor man of Europe again. My worry is they don't really have a plan at all

There is no plan. Only a ?350M a week for the NHS lie, as Farage has now admitted.


This was a vanity project for a cowardly Cameron, too weak to tackle problems in his own party, so called for a stupid referendum with a stupid question and got a stupid answer. He didn't even allow campaigning against Boris and Gove as he didn't want to upset the Tory party and now too cowardly to lead the exit.


What is more a lot of out voters now regretting their vote.


Welcome to sad little England and Wales.

According to the Gridiron, it is referred to as 'voters remorse'



I also think Thursday should have been declared a wash out, torrential rain and floods, good thing we are not all superstitious.

And now into the long 'it's got to get worse before it gets better' stage a period of adjustment and transition.


If only any of us could hand on heart say and believe we trust and have faith in our leader/s, which is what we all need now more than ever, there is not a good man among them. It's a shame Cameron is leaving so soon, and not be required to live and work with the consequences of his 'let's have a referendum' party game.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
