    What the Boris!
    Boris Johnson quits amid Brexit crisis
    First it was Davis, now Boris has jumped down from the front-line.
    It seems 'the lady is having trouble turning' to anyone now - what a disorganised state of affairs - and once again - the peoples choice is being ignored

    No Brexit talk please! I'm sick to death of it. Politicians talking Brexshit all day every day for months on end. The media giving it constant saturation coverage down to every last nuance, rumour and angle. I can't take any more of it. Someone please take Brexshit and blast it into Outer Space.

    The preference of a certain amount of british people is not met. Why? Because it seems there is no 'the people' in this Brexit matter and the ones who act like they're simply being ignored don't have a big majority.

    It's kind of like Greece's referendum to reject the bailout and austerity measures. The people voted no by 61% and three days later the politicians and bankers implemented even more austerity. It's not a democracy.

    Our politicians in the UK have completely fucked up. There should never have been such a vague referendum....the result of which was so close and indeterminate. Only the wealthy right-wing want us to become a off-shore un-regulated service economy. I personnalp have more faith in the EU politicians and the ECJ than the UK ones!

    Why on earth would we want to cut ourselves off from Europe?

    I could hardly have put that better.

    No doubt hedge funds and so on will make massive profits as the UK economy goes down the drain. Don't think future generatons are going to have very kind thoughts about the self-serving and incompetent politicians who set this up, or the folks who voted for it.

    So - the plan now is that after Brexit they'll bring in 'non-EU' migrant workers to pick fruit and do other jobs Brits won't do or can't do.
    Tough on those who voted for Brexit on the grounds that we'd be getting rid of immigration. It means in effect more Africans, Asians and plenty of them will be Muslims. Not like other Europeans who may have minor cultural differences but are still broadly part of European culture, just as we are.
    I'm pretty sure that isn't really what people imagined they were voting for.
    And the conditions for these new migrants could be pretty bad.


    Brexit plan to bring in more non-EU workers could lead to 'sharp rise' in exploitation, charity warns

    I voted to 'Remain' - the only way; as I see it, for understanding, tolerance and development is allowing the opportunity of open interaction with others.
    Working towards a goal of equal respect and allowances across the board is the questioning of principles and standards - especially when it comes to Health, Safety, Well-being and welfare.
    The main argument for 'Leave' was to put up borders/barriers, exclude and number of visitors and businesses with a potential for assessment for repatriation which did not sit well with me. (with shades of historical consequences thereof)
    I also remember the 'Wind-rush' generation, brought/'invited' into the country to do simililar tasks to that which 'migrant' workers are expected to do
    -This being said, in a democracy when there is a vote, there is a decision - (and shows both the lack of thorugh education and apathy of the general public to think "ME" and not "we".
    My ultimate disappointment is that there was No Plan in the event of a Leave victory..
    It has has all gone "tits up" as the lack of clear, considered, decisive direction is proving.
    - I'd buy a TARDIS but wherever it took me we'd still be making the same mistakes where and whenever it was to take me!

    The fact they had no plan, and have no realistic plan now, just shows how completely incompetent they are, and how out of touch Cameron was imagining a 'remain' vote was a foregone conclusion. Its really staggering.
    It really is going to be a huge act of collective self-harm, and I fear there's little that can or will be done.

    My seriously Christian friend said Jesus has a plan for me.

    When I told my Uncle this he said "Has he got a plan for Brexit?"
