    Brexiters tend to be quieter and possibly more important, older than Remainers. And Friday is going to be cold and wet so I can't see much point in going to the party in Trafalgar Square. So I will just have a bonfire, throw on a few gas canisters by way of fireworks, crack open some bottles of Carlesberg Special Brew and that should be that.

    How about you ?

    I'm just going to enjoy the extra £350 million a week for the NHS.

    You just remind the EU it's a bunch of small countries and get on with our lives.
    Ireland for example, are eyeing up UK's Fishery, despite the new fisheries bill that promises sustainable fishing in UK's Fishery post Brexit.

    Ireland, would argue it's the EU. UK's argument is clear; it won't be the EU.
    You'd have to treat UK like Iceland or Norway or Japan or the United States; and not like it's in the EU.

    It's the semi-literate people who voted to leave because they thought they were saving the NHS that piss me off rather than hardworking nurses suffering from years of underfunding.

    If we pay the nurses any more they will just get fatter and never have a chance to marry doctors.

    The best thing to do is to cut their pay so that they lose weight and feel better. Then they will be able to fit into the old fashioned uniforms with black stockings and such that always made the patients feel better. Right now they look like shop assistants in Greggs and the last time I went into hospital I did not know if I going to have a blood test or be offered a steak bake.

    Have you been into a hospital lately? Managed to get information from anyone on a ward? See your old man lying in a pool of piss for a night pleading for help - trying to find a doctor that not only knows his name but has a vague idea why he’s actually on this ward. Radios blaring all night at the nurses station so most people can’t sleep. Yeah good old fashioned NHS care. Dream on mate dream on.
    Oh yeah..... and in the morning when you go and visit your old man he’s lying dead in his bed and not one nurse has a fcuking clue when he died or that he was dead “we thought he was sleeping”...........
    A tip for you, if you get ill make sure they don’t take you to Darent Valley Hospital.

    Yes, the NHS is underfunded and far from perfect but to think that will be cured by leaving the EU and severing links with our major trading partners is really, really stupid.
    Damaging the economy is not the solution to the problems of the NHS.

    I don’t think anybody seriously does? Alluding to the crass utterings of politicians is a sheepish argument and ultimately doomed to be consumed by time and world events. There are consequences to any decisions and in general terms for the UK they will not be apparent for decades and will be subject to many variables that in most cases are not even apparent yet. Politicians deal in smoke and mirrors and when trying to push their agendas....well it’s best to adopt the caveat emptor approach.

    Look, there are many things about the EU not to like. The creeping federalisation for one. Campaigning on the slogan of £350 million a week to save the NHS is downright dishonest and deplorable though.
    I've spoken to many people who told me the reason they voted to leave was the NHS. Add that to those who simply voted against the Tory government or for petty xenophobic hatred of overhearing fellow passengers on the bus speaking in Romanian and we've voted for a really big mistake for all the wrong reasons.

    Well I guess you told these numpties that believing what’s written on the side of a bus makes them morons.
    And as for the rest...well that’s democracy. One could campaign that only people with an IQ of 110 or over should have the right to vote! It would make for a better country.

    Oh no, I don't blame the people who believed the lies I blame the charlatans who spread them.

    Mostly the United States intends to celebrate BREXIT by declaring their sitting president innocent of all leftist concocted charges. So it's going to be a good day all around so far as celebrations go.

    Lies....is that fair? It hasn’t happened yet so it may happen? It may not. There was no statement of date or time when it would occur. Lies and politicians are in interesting mix since there are many variations in the interpretations of statements. It’s how you process the statement that’s at issue surely?

    Sending £350 million a week to the EU was an outright lie. The true figure is a little over half of that.
    Implying that it would be spent on the NHS was just a bullshlt electioneering ploy which is most likely not to happen.

    So what? Is the issue the validity of a statement that has no real meaning? Or is it the popular implication that a vote succeeded solely on the back of a meaningless assertion?
    Politics is the art of manipulation so I don’t see why you get so riled about the obvious implication that democracy is a farce.

    Call me old fashioned but I think that when our leaders tell us outright lies it is our duty to kick up a fuss about it.
    The alternative is to run cover for it and ensure that next time the lie will be even bigger since they got away with the last one.
    Excusing this behavior with ''all politicians lie'' is like excusing Jeffrey Dahmer with ''we all eat something we shouldn't''.

    Can we make 31st of January 'Brexit Day' every year, a national holiday/birthday for our country?
    This means a day off work and school and everything for us Brits to celebrate 'Brexit Day' with patriotism and fireworks.

    If 'Brexit Day'/31st of January falls on a weekend, make it the holiday weekend for people to spend time with their families/friends/neighbours ect on Brexit Day.
    If you work Brexit Day, you should get paid overtime.

    I should probably email Jacob Rees-Mogg this somehow; since my own MP's a Labour Remainer and isn't in charge of public holidays.
