"Yes, I still think people are confusing the term Europe with European Union- and now shows it’s true colours. It’ll be painful to leave but my take on it after genuinely researching it - not from celebrity sound bytes- is it’s just a layer of unnecessary government removed. Now't wrong with partnerships with European countries. It is the European Union we need to be rid of... " | |||

And how that will weigh up with losing out on the freedoms of the Eu market. It all feels like the apprentice episodes where they spend too much time negotiating a 50p discount on a small item at the expense of securing the big item. | |||

"I voted remain ...but now I would vote leave .....leave the rest to fight each other and break up the eu asap" serious question. Why did you vote remain in the first place, what has created the swing in the other direction, and why do you think the rest are going to fight ? | |||

Why did you vote remain in the first place, what has created the swing in the other direction, and why do you think the rest are going to fight ?" I can't speak for them, but I'm the same - I voted remain as I'm anti EU because I'm left wing and European Federalism is something, therefore I'm opposed to. I voted remain because I was terrified of what would happen if we let the tories get their hands on the country, unfettered by the EU. I now think Brexit will knock the Tories back for a long time, and would allow subsequent Labour governments to renationalise, unhindered by the EU. | |||

"A lot of people seem to conflate the Tories with Brexit and leaving. Seem to forget the official Tory/coalition line leading up to the referendum was to remain! Cameron, Clegg, Osbourne, May....all remainers. It was the people...the electorate who (rightly or wrongly) voted to leave. In the 2017 election NOTH of the main parties campaigned on the promise of “carrying out the will of the people” and, therefore brexiting! Only the Lib Dems and SNP campaigned to remain. Labour and Tories BOTH increased their total vote...Lib Dems and SNP both lost significant votes and seats. I agree that the Tiries are a total shower....I also see labour are equally confused/split and possibly even worse option. To blame one or the other or both for Brexit is just plain dumb.

They have spent years negotiating an FTA with the EU that is not even half as good as the single market but they believed 4-5 years negotiation for a simple FTA was worth it. You seem to be a groundbreaker - you could be earning £millions. What a guy ! | |||

Prime Minister Theresa May has since rejected Liddington's comments though, and said the decision to Leave the EU will be a once in a generation decision. David Liddington can consider himself well and truly slapped down by the Prime Minister. | |||

".... Being a major part of an EU Army would have done wonders for our Country and Armed forces." With Donald Trump being an unreliable partner, the EU “Army” will provide European security irrespective of the drifting and musings of the US Commander-In-Chief. He himself has questioned NATO and so it is hardly surprising that European countries would want to make contingencies. | |||

Our exports have already become much more competitive as a direct result of Brexit. So when you say "Result!" yes it really is a great "Result!" with non of the intended sarcasm linked to your post. | |||

The EU is changing but in completely the opposite direction to what the UK wanted. The EU has made its intentions clear to be more Federalist, more centralisation of power, with more countries joining and the beginning of an EU army. Being a major part of an EU Army would have done wonders for our Country and Armed forces. I don't think so an EU army will just be a poor man's NATO. For military cooperation NATO is the organisation to be a part of. I really wouldn't want our armed forces to be at the beck and call of clowns like Juncker and Tusk. and who would "pay" for this EU army, majority of the EU countries do not pay their way with NATO, never mind another EU army. So you agree with me that this "EU Army" is nothing more than a myth! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But the EU is based on the United States model of government lol....how foolish are you ![]() ![]() | |||

"We do not need to be in the EU.... OUT, OUT.. !!" So, about why you think that the UK will be capable of negotiating "much superior" trade deal than the one's it would have access to by virtue of being in the EU? Any ideas there, champ? | |||

You’ve taken two lines from the speech and read your own intentions into it. Now I’m not saying it is not his intention. But I would not say it is clear. Tbh having reread the speech I’m struggling to see the complete opposite direction they are going. From selective free trade. To controlling foreign investment in infrastructure. To cyber controls. To fighting terrorism. Indeed if I were to replace EU with UK and posted it here I suspect I’d have a tour of applause and land of hope and glory played ! | |||

The UK won't be dragged into it because thankfully we are now well into the process of leaving. Once the UK leaves though then that is where the EU is headed. | |||

"Remember before the referendum on brexit, you all said it would never happen; seems you are all still full of shit today ![]() But is it what we were led to believe it would be? Is it what we voted for? Will the final final outcome be the best for the country? | |||

"Remember before the referendum on brexit, you all said it would never happen; seems you are all still full of shit today ![]() I think lots of people said that they didn't want it to happen, rather than it wouldn't happen. What do you think of the Scottish government's assessment that Brexit will cost £12bn a year to the people of Scotland? Which comes first for you? Love of Scotland or hatred of the EU? | |||

"So the French president has said on the Andrew Marr show he knows the French people would vote to leave the EU thats why he will never ever give them a referendum . thats democracy for you . when people see the light they shut the door."

Lol... you have 'won' the referendum, you don't have to keep lying you know. What Macron said when asked if France would have voted to leave the EU was: "Yes. Probably, in a similar context. But our context was very different, so I don’t want to take any bets. I would have definitely fought to win" “But I think it is a mistake to just ask yes or no when you don’t ask people how to improve the situation and to explain how to improve it. You always take a risk when you ask in a referendum yes or no on a very complicated subject.” I'm not sure how that reality relates to the fantasies you have invented in your head. -Matt | |||

"But he does think the French public would vote to leave tho " Well if that is what he thought then that is what he probably would have said but, as when asked he didn't actually say that, It's not unreasonable to believe that that is not what he actually thinks at all; is it? | |||
