UK votes for #BrExit from the EU. 52% Leave - 48% Stay.

Boris is telling us there's no rush and seems to want his European cake and eat it now.... &%+((£

Could this be a wake up call to the EU?

That there is concern about the direction of travel from trading bloc to federal state with political and fiscal integration,  and this will result in a change to the EU. 

Junker is keen to get on with it - my impression is he can see his power and position in danger of slipping away.

In my view Boris is right - a cool, clear and step by step approach is needed.

Following cowardly Cameron's resignation Boris Johnson has leadership aspirations. Anything he says now he is saying with that in mind.

[Mr Gray]

It is noticeable that Cameron is no Churchill.  The first sign of dissent and he's off.  Had Churchill done the same and turned his back on the country as our troops were fleeing Dunkirk we would all be one Europe now and speaking German.  David Cameron has let the country down badly.  Many people voted on the basis that he undertook to see the matter through to the end regardless of the outcome.  He lied.

Cameron did not lie...your claim is untrue and libellous...but of course it will be allowed to stand

Why cowardly?  He did absolutely the right thing by standing down.  Would you entrust the removal of our country from the EU to a man who campaigned hard for us not to leave?  Far better to be done by someone in charge who actually believes in what he or she is doing, don't you think?

I can't find a direct quote from Cameron, but the general consensus seems to be;

Cameron, they argue, had repeatedly said during the campaign that article 50 would be triggered immediately if Vote Leave were to win the Brexit referendum.

EU members expected Cameron to follow through;

The president of the European parliament, Martin Schulz, has said he expects Cameron to initiate the process on Tuesday evening, making the formal announcement that Britain intends to exit the EU at the summit dinner he is due to address before going home and leaving – for the first time – the other 27 member states to discuss Britain’s situation without him the following day.

Boris did not give a monkey's about whether we are in or out.

It was all about his bid for power.

He and Cameron have been rivals for years going back to University.

The bottom line is Johnson and his fellows lied to the electorate and some were taken in by the B.S., others wanted out for other reasons.

All he had to do was tell the EU on Tuesday that the UK was invoking article 50. He could then stand down and leave the negotiations to his successor. That, in my opinion, was his duty fulfilled.

Both sides lied to the electorate. I expect some voters on both sides believed the lies they wanted to believe. Others, as you say, had other reasons to vote the way they did. The result remains.

I've already been called a racist, because I voted leave.

I don't mind being called racist for being a racist.

But I object to being called racist on the basis that I voted leave.

Try reading the story.

It does not say all brexit voters are racist, though some undoubtedly are.

' The Metropolitan police confirmed they had been called to the cultural centre on Sunday morning and were pursuing inquiries related to “allegedly racially motivated criminal damage”. '

Racism in this country would stop if all the foreigners went home.

Grow up.

This country has been built up by immigration over thousands of years.

Your above comment is incitement.

In reality the brexiters had no idea how to control immigration, it was all slogans.

Now the reality will bite.
