--remember the younger Brits would likely want back in when they're a majority.


is that those youngsters that couldn't be bothered to vote? Cause those were apparently in the majority in their age-bracket. SO it can't have been that important to them.  <_<

that said: a solution that allows for easy reintegration of Britain (or what's left of it) should be paramount

I've given up trying to follow this thing, but I did stumble upon this:

Didn't notice at the time but May also raised status of EU citizens already here. The Leave campaign gave assurances, nit I hadn't thought of a Remain campaigner being more hardline. I wouldn't be surprised if she outflanked Gove from the right.

May has been Home Secretary for 6 years and I don't yet hate her...............that is quite impressive really  :D

According to Stephen Bush consensus in both parties emerging that free movement is a goner, including the CTA in Ireland. Which is really bad for Northern Ireland :ultra:

Richard Hakluyt

I hope not, that was the best thing about being in the EU.

Also seen a few people tipping Leadsom to win the activist vote if she gets to the last two...

So the consensus is that our exit will cause Ireland to lose their Schengen exemption, then? Because that's the only thing I can see that would kill the CTA.

It will be okay. When things get bad the UK can always reopen the coal mines.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

To be fair that's a gross over simplification, there was no plan, there is no plan, there never will be a plan.   :bowler:
