The Calais problem isn’t one at all, we can send them back to France as its deemed safe.
Would France want to advertise to be in essence a migrant motorway, will they form an orderly queue or do they adhere to European law and register them? I don’t know the ins and outs, but if push comes to shove we’ll contain a border.
We done it pretty much in the troubles in Northern Ireland and we could easily do it again.

Boris Johnson promised to put £350m a week into the NHS so that’s sorted too.
I’m not sure what I was worried about, everything looks much better! 
As long as you don’t own a property, work for a big company, or have a pension or savings.
Works for me then

The brexit bus was equivocal, but this poster was probably misleading
I don’t know if boris intends to deliver on that, but it doesn’t seem sensible to have promised all of that to the NHS.
edit: certianly and probably? lol

I didn’t listen to one single Referendum Speech or discussion. Why? Because I looked at those politicians taking part and asked myself, “Is there anyone on either side I trust to tell me the truth” The answer every time was NO.
So I took it upon myself to source online all the independent information I could find about the major issues involved and read all I could. We all carry into a discussion pre-conceived ideas but I tried to set them aside.
At the end of the campaign the answer was very clear for me and I put my X in the appropriate box.
Fact/fear…conjecture/lies…no way to conduct an important Referendum. Truth will always rise to the surface…often it is too late.

The minute they said trade would end or the NHS would get £350m was when I stopped listening to the assholes. As for the debates, six egotistical twats bickering like kids in a schoolyard? No thanks.

subtitles for Bearsy:
My biggest fear is around free movement and education. My lad had been looking at going to uni in Holland as the course he wants to do is taught there in English and the fees/costs are a mere fraction of the same in the UK.
Once our membership is over that door closes for him as it’s for EU members only.
As for free movement, we plan to buy a house on the mainland once the kids have finished uni and being a non-EU citizen MAY make that more difficult.
Let’s just hope that whoever is sat around the table thrashing out a deal get the best one possible for the UK but I think there is little doubt that the EU will play serious hardball.

I’m not so sure the EU will play hardball - a lot may depend on whether other nations are also sick of the EU in its current format. I hear there is talk from several other countries about having their own referendum. Although the current outlook may appear bleak for the UK, there is no doubt this will have shaken up the powers to be in the EU. Hopefully some of their perceived arrogance will not be so obvious in the future, and that they may think twice before adopting some of their “bully boy” tactics (well, that’s how it appears to me from afar).
I also noticed that there is a petition going around for the UK to have a 2nd referendum, as there was a clause in the original that related to % of voters/voting that failed to be reached? Apparently it needs 100,000 signatures before it can b debated in Parliament. Last time I checked it had already exceeded 1 million.

If you ever wanted an example of “the tail wagging the dog” and an abdiction of parliamentary responsibility the article says barely a quarter of the Parliamentary Tory Party and one tenth of Labour had called for a Referendum.
Just undelines my opinion that the Referendum should never have taken place.

It didn’t need to take place at all. It was only because Dodgy Dave was scared shitless of his supporters leaching over to UKIP that he decided to go ahead with it - to save his party in government and his own job.
Bit him on the bum that one didn’t it

TBF the referendum was needed. Alas, for very, very many, for a number of reasons, it became not about the EU but about immigration and that’s a great pity but the fault on very many politicians stretching back to at least the 96 general election.
Seen this - might be helpful to some:
If you voted out because of “unelected politicians” then well done because we’re about to get an unelected prime minister.
If you voted out because of immigration then well done, because you just lost the right of free movement too. Just wait 'til you have to get a visa to go to Glasgow or Belfast.
If you voted out because people were “stealing your jobs” then well done, because you’re about to see Germany and France “steal” Nissan and a bunch of other companies who only manufacture here as a gateway to the eu market.
If you voted out because you think we’ll get a great trade deal with the EEA “like Norway did”, think again. Take a look around your Sainsbury’s Local and try and find any fruit and veg that’s grown in the UK. We need them more than they need us, and like the EEA, we’ll have to accept EU policies like free movement as part of a trade deal anyway - except now we won’t be able to have any say in them.
If you voted out because of vague scaremongering headlines like “Migrant Crisis” then please, feel free to remind me when it was that Syria joined the EU.
If you voted out because Farage promised £350m for the NHS, then I’m sure you’ll be happy to watch him on This Morning revealing that that was a lie.
If you voted out and you’re heading into retirement, then great job! Because now the working people of this nation will break their backs to afford your pension without the influx of young, economically active and skilled EU migrants.
If you voted out because you think we’ll be better off, the £ has just fallen by 8% against the dollar.
And if you voted out because you love this country, prepare to see it crumble, with threats of a unified Ireland and an independent Scotland just hours after the result was confirmed.
Well done, Britain.

just seen this quoted elswhere from Dan Hannan
Things could have been very different had the renegotiation resulted in a new settlement, one which allowed Britain to step away from the EU’s political institutions while remaining in the market. That deal was on offer, even from the most hardline Euro-federalists. Jacques Delors called it a “privileged partnership” for Britain; Guy Verhofstadt “associate membership”.
Early in the process, I urged the Prime Minister to aim for such an outcome. He was, as he usually is, both honest and charming. That wasn’t the kind of deal he wanted, he told me. If it was what I wanted, I should ensure the election of a Conservative Government, thus getting the referendum, and then vote to leave.
The referendum was necessary because of Cameron. Good fucking riddance.
