There were a lot of zingers flying in that chamber before, during, and after that, and I personally found it hilarious. Farage did a great job of unifying just about everyone in the EU behind one theme, Farage is a prat. I didn't watch any more than this piece. Link ? If not, I'll search for it.

He essentially asked "why are you here?" among other things. All in all the whole thing was pretty childish from Juncker, Farage, and really most of the chamber. RE: Brexit Referendum Day - Belsnickel - 07-03-2016 So, Merkel has called out Juncker as part of the problem and officials in Germany are calling for his resignation. RE: Brexit Referendum Day - Belsnickel - 07-03-2016 Brexit is screwing the Swiss, now. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/03/eu-swiss-single-market-access-no-free-movement-citizens Quote:The European Union is to show its determination to make no concessions to the UK on Brexit terms by telling Switzerland it will lose access to the single market if it goes ahead with plans to impose controls on the free movement of EU citizens. RE: Brexit Referendum Day - Rotobeast - 07-03-2016 Yeah.....pretty much sucks for the Swiss that the EU has to butch-up it's image, after Brexit. Thing is that I think the action will cause others to consider their exit in a more serious fashion. (those who were already rumored to be doing so) ![]() RE: Brexit Referendum Day - bfine32 - 07-03-2016 (07-03-2016, 11:39 AM)Belsnickel Wrote: Brexit is screwing the Swiss, now.

This may turn out not to be true. I haven't heard about others, but I know Finland is backing down on their noise after seeing the shit show that was Brexit. It will be interesting to see what polls in other countries show, but Finland's numbers have shifted decidedly in the EU's favor.

Brexit is the new factor. In all truth from some comments I have read it wasn't likely that the Swiss would've won that battle either way and they knew it. RE: Brexit Referendum Day - Rotobeast - 07-04-2016 Well now..... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/07/04/andrea-leadsom-brexit-tory-leadership-campaign-ukip-live/ Quote:Nigel Farage resigns as Ukip leader: 'I have done my bit.

It is possible that a strong stance on the Swiss may intimidate the others. I didn't think about it in that manner. Thanks. I'll just sit back and enjoy the show.

The leave side wants to shut down the free movement, but they want access to the single market. They can't have both. That means Teresa May will be having an interesting time negotiating this. But, if they do shut down the free movement then they will have fewer players from the continent playing in the EPL. RE: Brexit Referendum Day - BmorePat87 - 08-17-2016 I saw this and found it amusing: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027965013 Sorry for quoting Democratic Underground, but it was the only place I could find the original and new statement. Jill Stein, right after Brexit, praised it as a positive move and an attack on a rigged system by the people. She says that the EU's policies caused hatred towards immigrants and suggested moves like Brexit would lead to policies of more inclusiveness. She got some backlash and completely changed her post. She now states that she supported efforts to stay in and fix the problems.

RE: Brexit Referendum Day - bfine32 - 11-04-2016 Looks like the British government is going to do all thay can to stop the exit. http://www.local10.com/news/brexit-roadmap-what-happens-next-after-shock-court-ruling Personally I think it's bullshit, the people voted.

Sounds like you didn't read the article: Quote:People who want the U.K. to remain in the EU shouldn't get too excited, however. Experts say Brexit is still almost certain to happen... it just may take longer, and look rather different. |
