    There's nothing tastes worse than sour grapes. The people have spoken. Live with it.

    Eh? So you base your decisions in life on what newspapers say. From most of your posts I'd say you read the Beano.

    Get real mate. Most folk based their decision on how they are feeling ATM. Disillusioned with this government and the EU. Living standards and austerity measures must surely have played a lot in the mind when folk made their choices.

    Then again had they read newspapers things might have turned out different,

    The much lauded Aussie points system of immigration is designed to get more in, in order to increase their population. Not mentioned very often that.

    They voted to leave the EU because they're disillusioned with the UK government? **** me. What did you base yours on Ian?

    If I'm reading the Beano I dread to think what you're reading.

    I know plenty who have moved to aus and it's designed to take skilled workers. Not just anyone can roll in like been in the EU. If you are in building trade you now have to do a skill test before entering. It's also made so for example 300k English plasterers can't just walk in and everyone fighting for the work. Immigration is a good thing if it is controlled.

    i voted out

    my stance has always been like this since the 1990's,i believe that sooner or later the EU would fail,I was also dead set against the introduction of the euro and thank god we stayed well clear of that.
    I passionately believe that the eu is mainly for the benefit of the mega rich that pull the strings and lobby the eu parliament for their own ends,then they throw a few sweetners in to keep the workers thinking that they are their saviour.
    As for immigration,if we need immigrants then let them come here,if we dont then they shouldnt be here,this includes everyone from Cabbage pickers to brain surgeons,if we need them then let them come.I do not include refugees in this because if people are fleeing wars then they should be given a safe haven.

    incidently,i dont read newspapers,so dont blame my decision on these,as for farage,my opinion of the eu was formed long before i even knew who he was,the labour party told us we would get a referendum in the schpiel during the run up to the 1997 election,it may have not been in the referendum but blair told us we had been lied to by john major and that a labour government would give the people the chance to vote.This did not happen and during the last 19 years labour has seen their vote slip,people felt betrayed,for one reason or another and this imo has shown up in the vote,labour heartlands have voted out.

    Well at least we got rid of the so called unelected European parliament.

    Shame we will now have an unelected leader of the country when the tories have a new leader.

    Oh the irony.

    The people of this country have voted to leave...look at the map...so you are saying the vast majority of working class people are not , in your lofty view capable of reading a newspaper or making an informed decision. That is the politics of personal superiority.

    Voted leave. Joined common market. Good idea. Avoided joining common currency good idea (not joining that is ) Since then it has become, rather than an organisation co-ordinating national governments for the common good, a bloated self serving bureaucracy trying to rule governments.

    It's a bit like a teacher trying to control an unruly class. That would be fine as teachers are impartial and work for the common good. However the EU comprises commissioners from countries within the EU so all have a nationalistic bias in spite of what they pretend. Whatever the other issues, economy, sovereignty, immigration they are to me sidehsows. The concept of diverse cultures combining to become one nation is against human nature and therefore fundamentally flawed. We can get on as individuals and trade, mix, socialise but at the end of the day total integration as nations is not how we think. One day, hopefully.

    I can't believe it.

    I will never ever underestimate the stupidity and ignorance of the Barnsley (and indeed British) public again.

    Exactly Manxtyke. People like Conan are the exact reason I voted out. Hes no better than me, choose where he lives or what he does, what books he reads or whether he watches question time. I made my decision on personal experiences, because nobody gave a good solid arguement either way. If staying was so much better, id have thought it would be easy to persuade the masses...obviously not.
    The reset button has been hit, middle england who have been hammered for years have spoken...its a risk...but lets make it work, not wait for it to fail and say 'i told ya so'.
