I don't suppose you watch the football , you would have loved it.

Think it sums up this country. We think we are a lot better than we really are. Not much to be proud of at the moment really.

Don't know why there's a smilie in my last post and no edit button option from my phone.

Presume thats just England you're talking about? Not Wales.....

Anyway, the boys with right shaped ball, and the red rose, beat the Aussies in a 3-0 whitewash series, which is the first time they have ever done that! As the aussies aren't saying, Bonza Mate!

Plus our spaceman is due back in the country in the next couple of weeks.

And then we have Wimbledon just starting where that British (if he's winning, Scottish if he's losing) guy has a real chance of beating all contenders.

Loads to be proud of if you just look for it

Yay, and how much coverage has that received? Next to none. Beating the Aussies and home...nothing better.

I do think that people on the remain side have to try to make this painful.
Otherwise they will have been proved wrong.
The damage done before the referendum of Armageddon predictions has back fired on the treasury like nothing it could have imagined.
A self fulfilling prophecy.

David Miliband admitted tonight on Charlie Rose that we made a policy mistake in 2005 when we accepted the enlargement of the EU and miscalculated the amount of people that would come. They predicted 50,000 and 500,000 arrived.in the first year and there was no transitional plan.

Just for clarification, I have never heard of a revolution that was totally painless.

HUMOUR ALERT!

Just seen on FB;

'Flood warnings issued for England as the whole of Wales pisses themselves after Iceland match'

I'm English and can laugh at that.

Wouldn't like to be a bar owner in Nice right now though!

Haven't you watched the news recently? We voted to leave the EU, yessss!

I voted Remain and now my fridge freezer has broken down. False flag?

You're right. It was all going to be fine but in order to prove you wrong we had a quick whip round and arranged to wipe $2 trillion off world markets

If only everyone everywhere hadn't pointed out the obvious!

No, just karma.

Have to remember that many FTSE100/250 companies enjoyed a nice upward trend prior to the results, so the falls haven't been quite as drastic as the media would like to make out.

The global markets have lost $3 trillion over brexit so far - that's £650 for every person on the planet.

That's a staggeringly costly campaign for PM Boris Johnson's running, especially when it is becoming more and more clear that almost none of the pledges/promises/ambitions/dreams put forward by the Leave camp are likely to happen. There's been a flurry of reporting on all the back-tracking and weaving going on, so don't blame the messenger!

I hope we can all agree that if the only practical outcome of this sad, sorry exercise is that we've traded Boris for Cameron, it wasn't worth it...

Nope. Can't agree with that. As that won't be the outcome of this Great, Momentous, Democratic exercise.

The news coming out of Westminster suggests otherwise - Farage is furious at the betrayal, but quite literally powerless to stop it.

BTW, Osborne clarified two things this morning.

1. It was't the responsibility of Remain to have a plan for post brexit, but Leave
2. There will be economic consequences in the form of higher taxes, etc.
