Why does UK banking need to stay in the EU?

I thought that we, or the majority who voted, voted to Leave the EU.

'Remoaners! You lost, suck it up! We won, got it? We are leaving. Tick-Tock 29:3:19" and they are the printable versions of what we get told.

If we leave then that is all of us... equally. No special privileges for some sectors or industries. One out, all out! In it together!

And ever so many of you Leavers have no intention of sticking to what you voted for:

You now want your own version of what "Leave" meant, but cannot agree amongst yourselves which one it really is.

Is it any wonder that we Remoaners are confused?

I'm not confused at all WM. I voted to leave, still want to leave and the details have to be worked out by politicians. That's it.

Politicians and media who don't want to leave are making the whole thing complicated.

Once again it is the politicians who are squabbling amongst themselves. To a point I can see why because there are no many complicated issues that have to be worked out satisfactorily before the final split from the EU.

However, to be fair, the average voter who ticked the box to leave wants to do just that, as quickly and as painless as possible, and I doubt if they are confused about their decision.

If only we had heeded General De Gaulle when he said 'non' :D

Oh dear, I can hardly stand up! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nigel has said that he is coming round to the idea of a second EU referendum and co-founder of the Leave.EU referendum campaign group, Arron Banks, has backed him up.

Good move lads. Get yourselves up there with Cleggy, Toxic Bliar, Vince, Hezza and Adonis and get this show on the road.

The UK is already an international laughing stock, what further harm could Brexref2 do?

Couldn't agree more. Nothing could do more damage to it post Brexit.

They don't deserve Brexit because they are providing themselves not up to the Task.

Brexit was always going to be the biggest challenge to the UK since WWII. Anyone who drove the vote should have know, understood and been prepared for the work it would entail.

If they want another referendum it should be in 15 years time when they know what they are comparing...

Entirely agree Suff. What is needed now is for politicians to respect the vote to leave and get behind Theresa May to achieve the best possible outcome for the country. This is a great opportunity for the UK to stand on its own feet and make its own decisions. Let's grasp it and work towards making Brexit a success for everyone instead of nit-picking and trying to turn the clock back.
