Cameron and Boris Out

What can happen is that Scotland can push for another independence referendum as you said. I doubt it will happen during this period though.

If they leave it till after the UK is formally out of the EU in two years time then they would have to reapply to the EU and presumably have to accept the Euro as currency and all that.

Certainly not.

This last week has been a triumph of democratic process, shown for all to see, but some lks are just too negative ion outlook to understanmd that.

The UK was split over EU membership.
There was a referendum.
The majority vote produced a decision.
We didn't have to fight each other.
We didn't riot in the streets to achieve this.
We just put a cross on a voting slip.
The most famous name in the Leave campaign was Boris Johnson.
When he realised that that the Remain members in his party, plus some insidious names close to him would not support his name as Exit-Leader (PM) he just stood back.

On the other hand, we have voices who don't think that the working people should have had the right to decide. Now that is a far more insidious and serious suggestion.
We have voices that put down Boris, which is a real joke, because some of those voices were shouting down and insulting Mrs Thatcher on the day of her death....... and Mrs Thatcher used to beat and bash deals out of the EU for Britain that were so good, that if she had been ruler today, the EU deakl would be so generous that us Brits would probably have voted to remain! :) What a delightful joke. And no.... I never voted conservative, and I didn't like poll-tax, I just know when to respect folks' courage.

I'm not talking about the democracy aspect, I was talking about you putting a spin on the economics. It's either a joke or a lie.

You make it sound like a noble decision, it wasn't, Boris got fitted up by his so-called mate Gove and had no choice in the matter. They are just a bunch of self-serving toffs.
...... How can Boris, being 'Goved', be seen as self serving?
He will be back........
It's the Remain MPs who think that they should lead the UK out of the EU who should be seen as the 'forked-tongues' :)

No joke.
No lie.
I wrote that the pound started to lift back. It did. It is.
Shares are recovering somewhat.
But those of us who hold gold did rather well so far.

But what you might have missed is the fact that the people who were voting to leave were working people who thought that the leave campaigners were a joke. There's only one person that I know in this district who voted to Remain.
I think that you could be out of touch with who the majority of the voters were. The Leave campaign certainly was.

The pound hit a 9 year low, that's saying something. The economy has had somewhat of a recovery because we haven't left the EU yet and no one has triggered article 50. Once that goes through, expect another sudden and this time, consistent drop.
