According to the Mail, 1.1 million of those 17 million or so people who voted for Brexit now regret that decision. I don't know where its got those figures from but, if they are accurate, it's still only a tiny proportion of all those who voted for Brexit - just 6.3%.

There was a lot of ageism against older voters during this referendum campaign by certain people on the Remain side, saying things like "They may get Britain out of the EU against the will of the more pro-EU younger voters."

But this is democracy. A voter aged 95 is perfectly entitled to their political opinion as a first-time voter at the age of 18 or 19 and to vote accordingly.

But I think exiting the EU will be better for young people and for everyone.

Just days after hitting the Bremainers for six, the man who may soon be our next Prime Minister had a game of cricket yesterday with some of his family members and friends, including his Remain supporting father...

America does not send us their immigrants - Canada decides who will and who will not be welcomed to our country - not the US. I know a few American ex-pats around here and to a person they are good, decent, friendly folks who are truly thankful to be living in Canada. They are great neighbors and quickly became a part of our community.

The real only evidence BOOMer has of his immigration assertion is that Canada did let him into the country. Clearly we have no filters.

(just joking BOOMer ... or am I?)

Now that he's emerged the victor after years of battling the establishment and unelected Brussels bureaucrats, Farage should be made a lord and have a statue of himself erected outside the soon-to-be more powerful Palace of Westminster, with his customary cigarette in one hand and pint of beer in the other. He is, after all, the founding father of the newly independent Britain. He's like Britain's Atatürk.

If 16 million people voted Remain, surely you could easily get 100k to sign a petition for a do-over. Then they have another referendum and 100k want another do-over?

Second referendum petition: Concern as call for new Brexit vote gains more than 39,000 signatures *from Vatican City - population 800

There will be no second referendum. It has almost certainly been ruled out.

A Leave supporter doing the Sky News newspaper previews last night said that, according to the IP addresses, many of the signatories are foreigners and that he also believes many are British Remain supporters who didn't vote in the referendum, probably because they were complacent and assumed Remain would win.

They'll just have to accept that they have lost and that that is the end of the matter. So, too, will all those luvvies who are angry at the result and showing their outrage on Twitter.

Blackadder star Hugh Laurie tweeted after the result "Best of three?", and Radiohead's Thom Yorke has urged fans to sign the petition.

These luvvies only like democracy when it goes their way.

I reckon even if another referendum was held then Leave will just win by an even bigger margin, with people angry that the pro-EU mob have forced another referendum. The Remainiacs just don't seem to realise that it's this sort of attitude that they are displaying which us the reason why so many people voted Leave. No matter what Leave's winning margin would be, there'd still be these numpties signing an online petition calling for another referendum, even if Leave win 90%-10%.

I am wondering upon doing a little extrapolating if it boils down to the fact David Cameron is an A$$hole! (you don't want to play my game I'll pick up my marbles and leave) :) :)

He is. He stated that should Britain vote to exit, he would invoke Article 50 or whatever it's called, immediately. His stepping down as PM indicates that he had no intention of invoking Article 50. Instead, he'd rather someone else take the "risk" because nobody really knows for sure what the full effects will be when it does get invoked.
However, delaying things will only make matters worse until such time as Article 50 in invoked. It still leaves a lot of uncertainty as to what is going to happen with the markets as a result. Especially now that a national election will have to be called, which always makes the market fluctuate if there's a change in leadership.
My wife just made an interesting observation about the delay. The longer the delay, the longer the uncertainty of the markets which means more potential economic instability for Britain. The Remain side can then claim that the economic woes are all the fault of those who voted to exit the EU and use it a excuse to hold a second referendum before Article 50 can be invoked.

I watched about half of the Brexit movie and while it's interesting... (although my constant question was if it's that bad, leaving won't do **** to CHANGE anything so why not stay and push for internal change?)

I wanna hear/see what was good for the stay side, too.

Anyone know of any video's on that?

Cheaper food for one. Eastern European recent wannabe partial member nations have the land to feed Europe and beyond for dirt cheap. As the EUgrows in size it's internal trade grows and products get cheaper.
