Yikes What Will The Third Downer Be ? UK..

Well after Brexit and all it is throwing at us so far the dropping £,,Falling Shares and general negativity..

Then England knocked out of the Euros ( Football ) By a great performance by Iceland ( population 330K ) 2-1



I am wondering what the third knock will be ?

Always seems to me they happen in threes. I hope our Police and security forces are fully awake..

Jimmy Savile will be elected Prime Minster.

That somewhere, hidden in Clause 50, there is a line on page 80,000 of the Lisbon Treaty that states. "The over riding fact remains, that NO country can ever leave".

As much as a man without a soul can possibly be.

Thats my fear... they will resist the people or water it down the brexit to
something that really isnt an exit.

I predict a real riot and the rise of the far right.

They need to do the decent thing here or trouble ahead

Trump losses the general election and moves to the UK.

I hope he doesn't lose the general election. I don't see why he'd leave the US.

Sort of, but it's not hidden, it's to do with the whole of those 80,000 pages. EU membership is a contract.(legal)
The Guardian,
"The full scale of the task facing Whitehall will become clear. The UK will have to renegotiate 80,000 pages of EU agreements, deciding those to be kept in UK law and those to jettison. British officials have said privately that nobody knows how long this would take, but some ministers say it would clog up parliament for years."

The thing is, the BREXIT vote as yet has no legal status, it is not legally binding, until it is enacted by the house of commons, (media are being cagey about that) which is full of 'remain' MPs....that includes those who had a 'leave, sort of' campaign.
Now, to get all this sorted the legal eagles will be out in force, and it's not going to be done for nothing, and will probably cost us £billions just for starters....Oh! boy, my head is reeling already.
Just to add, the house of commons will probably need to debate and enact, every one of those 80,000 pages legal contents.

No , Trump would move to Scotland. Oh , wait , that may still make the 3rd

It's easy. Leave the EU. Rip up their rule book, change our credit card number to the EU, we could be out in minutes

Repeal the 1972 act and we are gone. Don't need article 50.
Simple.

It's the act of parliament that sets out the terms of our membership to the EEC, the forerunner of the EU.
Repealing the act voids our membership completely .

Just read up on it.....and it still stands . All this filibustering over the 50 is nonsense then? Hence the reason I suspect the EU is insisting UK ratifies the 50 asap as a 'giving notice' sort of thing.....
