It did specify. And if the vote had gone Remainers way you wouldn't be shouting 'foul' now would you?

No, I don't think so, but it would have shocked me how much dissent there was,I would have been relieved that remain had scraped through but it would have given me very little satisfaction. This isn't over, it doesn't matter how the brexit turns out, the worm is there.

I predict a better outcome than most expect but still being tied to the EU for years to come but having no veto power. Give it another 10 years and we are back in. Already the BOE has said that a rate rise is due in May and reports say that millions of households will be in serious trouble, the rate rise has nothing to do with brexit of course but brexit, if it has serious ramifications for British industry, could be the straw that breaks the camels back. I am a long way away, I won't even hear 'KNACKS', nor would I care much.

Lots of Pakistanis voted Leave in the hope that if there were less European immigrants that would mean that the rules for British citizens foreign dependents would be loosened.  They listened to some Brexiteers ranting about the commonwealth and bought it, they thought Brexit was about them too.  The thing with Brexiteers is they can't all win.

I dont worry at all about this as I know that we would not be here now if we did not know how to stand up and look after ourselves

If it needs to be done again it will be done again, trust me

Don't let it bother you, it's only my opinion, I doubt if I will be alive in 10 years. Brexit will be the last thing that I would think about on my death bed. My daughters future is in Germany, my sons future is in Thailand, mine is the crematorium in my village, it's that simple.

Think members of TV should maybe concern themselves about the nut job Erdogan and his remarks bout an Islamic army to wipe Israel off the face of the map.

Maybe gonna be a hot summer over in europe??

Were they produced in H.K. Or were they processed in H.K and then produced, printed etc., elsewhere. I think the latter, but maybe you can prove me wrong.

but I am, I take nothing seriously anymore. I do however enjoy the arguments here as long as they are polite and/or funny. The young can be and should be passionate about things that matter but usually hormones get in the way which I suspect is why politicians are all old fogeys who probably think that this is all real and that they will live for ever.

This is a key issue and is why super majorities are always required for constitutional change. Right now we have the wars of the roses AND the civil war together. Massive self harm for what? (Don't answer, I've heard it)

I will answer and you can hear it.

 

Signing up the EEC in 1973 was a major constitutional change - not even a referendum for that - deception.

 

The UK referendum of 1975 confirmed that (1973) major constitutional change - no super majority for that was specified. No open, general admission or notification from the government to the people that the The Treaty of Rome had been a major constitutional change was forthcoming - more deception. 

 

The subsequent EU treaties that our so-called leaders signed the UK up to in the interim (especially Maastricht and Lisbon) were also major constitutional changes - no referendum or any majority to be considered for any of those of course. 

 

But now we hear that the 2016 referendum should have had a super majority to pass because it was a major major constitutional change - why do we hear this now - because the vote was OUT is why. 

 

Well, as you can see, we have already had several major constitutional changes without any majority at all, let alone a super one!

Who knows, probably, the UK tried to sell it as being extra secure ( or was it extra cheap), is processing less important than printing? Other countries seem to manage to do it all themselves. Baldrick had a cunning plan.

I do wish you’d get your facts right. The vast majority of people of Pakistani,Bangladesh, Muslim origin, voted overwhelmingly to remain in this so called Union. Not only has this been shown in reports, but you can see the voting pattern in those constituencies that house these immigrants, including Tower Hamlets etc,.

"Already the BOE has said that a rate rise is due in May and reports say that millions of households will be in serious trouble"

 

Interest rates have been at historic lows since around 2009. Currently the base rate is still just 0.5%. If people have over borrowed thinking that the base rate would stay under 1% forever they were badly misinformed. These minute rises should not put households into trouble unless they've been reckless with their borrowing.

 

We are a long way from 'normal' base rates which might be around 5-8%. If you go back to 1989, 90, 91...now THOSE were rate rises!

Luton, Slough and Bradford all voted leave, and I did not say the majority of Pakistanis I said lots of them, so actually my facts were right, thanks.

Bradford did vote to leave, but not the ethnic minority wards.

 

"Bradford voted to Leave (54%), but the area included some starkly contrasting places which went over 60% Remain: the prosperous, genteel, spa town of Ilkley, and strongly ethnic minority wards in the city, such as Manningham and Toller."

I am not trying to claim that the majority of Pakistanis voted leave, only that many did, which is just a fact.  There are countless interviews with Pakistanis giving their reasons, many the reason I stated, Leave were campaigning to them implying that Brexit would enable them to bring more of their relatives.

 

Anyway, do you think it will be the Pakistanis who bought into that campaign who'll be feeling let down post Brexit, or do you think it will be those who want less Pakistani immigrants coming?

All I am saying is that you are wrong, the ethnic minority in Bradford voted to remain as my link proves, have you a link to show the opposite of my link to the voting in Bradford?
