Is leaving the Eu a good deal or not?  As a yank I say good deal.  :new_popcornsmiley

I have my concerns, as here in Wales we get (got) most of our funding from the EU... but its also what rights and other EU protection we could lose.  I agree with Gav, there is a lot of speculation as to what the future holds, but realistically - this situation has never occured before so no-one knows  :icon_eek:

Wales gets most of its funding from England, not the EU. You're welcome btw!

Your right about not knowing though. No one has a clue.

I've been saddened by the number of young people using the term "Racist" today in the belief that everyone that voted "Out" did it because they hate immigrants. 

I have felt, more than once, the need to correct them, both on their assumption and use of the term. Their assumption demonstrates a total lack of awareness of the other issues involved or an understanding of the real meaning of the term but - and this is why I find it sad - it is useless to argue with them.

As an aside, I was also disappointed that when doing a VOXPOP the BBC - while focussing no those that voted out - only broadcast the views of those that stated imigration as the reason.  Were they leading opinion or was that really the only view they encountered.....

You are spot on. The whole thing has reavelled an astonishing level of ignorance all round.

Can. Not. Wait. For Northumberland and being away from it all.

And the Scots are aiming to get back in, if other big players leave, not sure that would be a good idea.

I spent several hours on Thursday canvassing for a Remain vote. And I'm afraid that very many of the people who told me (often very rudely) that they were voting Out gave immigration as their principal reason.

What I find sad is that only 17 million people out of a population of almost 70 million voted out yet we all have to abide by their decision.

I agree that the whole campaign has been characterised by slogans and half truths. It is a complex subject and of course there are cogent arguments on both sides but no-one ever seems interested in nuance. The whole thing is only going to increase intolerance and division.
