I'm pretty sure the out vote wasn't just about EU immigrants per say, I mean when you can't deport murderers, rapists and paedophiles because of EU human rights and free movement laws, let's face it you're going to get a few backs up. Those dirty racist anti paedophile biggots eh?

I really don't get how people linked non-EU immigration to... being in the EU. Over 50% of migration to the UK is from outside the EU - so the UK is 100% in control of that - yet the gullible folk out there believe that... the EU is to blame. I mean like seriously?
Plus we're not part of the Schengen agreement, so we get to check everyone trying to enter through our front door..
Interestingly Norway are sending 1000's of Syrian migrants back to Russia on bikes.

I sadly did see a number of interviews on the TV around the vote that made me think that Syrian and Libyan refugees were being considered something the EU was dumping on the UK.

I don't dare speculate, but I'm happy to entertain you none the less.

Personally I think the UK should never have been allowed any special perks or rebates or anything like that. This has instilled a type of small brat mentality in our politics, where our politicians have grown to believe that in this great European family we can be the youngest child that can get away with practically everything, whereas everyone else is held to account at a much higher standard.
Don't get me wrong, I would've voted to remain, but the UK has attempted to be far more constructive in the EU than some of those countries who I'm sure consider themselves to be the archetypal Europeans. I'm talking about the French again.

The rebate is borne out of the total cluster**** that is the Common Agricultural Policy. And if you're looking for the EU country that thinks it can (and does) get away with anything it's called France. That being the same country that refuses to negotiate on the CAP hence the UK clung on to its rebate.

PS my suggestion was that the UK should have behaved like France and ignored reality whist lying it's head off and blocking migrants anyway. Looks like that might well be the chosen option as May pushes off Article 50 into the future.
What's the book look like on the time till the next GFC ?

But you speculate on what happens if non-right governments come to power and what will happen to the UK outside of the EU as well as countless other matters? 
This isn't speculation but fact - the effect of Brexit is biting on business confidence, the £, Philip Hammond has hinted yesterday that the commitment to a budget surplus and austerity has gone and the government will introduce fiscal measures to stimulate the economy, the Bank of England will act soon as well.

Sounds like you want it to all come crumbling down so you have give a big up yours to the leavers, to the Tory government, to Britain. I'm sure Zulu will be along soon to give you a lecture on western hating.

Yeah all this may happen in the short term, what happens longer term is up for grabs. They may not even hit the article 50. But one thing is for sure, the Labour party is useless. That's not speculation.

So you put David Cameron, the governor of the Bank of England, the heads of IMF, WTO and G7 as well as most economists in the 'western hating' category too? Zulu's solution to anything is violence or get rid of all Muslims as well as anyone left of Genghis Khan on the political spectrum so I pay no need of his opinion.

UK Facing Recession Threat After Brexit Vote

Well May has tried doing deals with Merkel and Hollande to retain access to the single market but this infuriates Brexiters who want a clean break from the EU:

Now Juncker appears to have shut the door on deals involving access to single market - 'no freedom of movement, no single market'.
