Thank goodness. Boris and now him - gone! They will certainly both be remembered in future history lessons in school!

We are still leaving the EU
Just less for the 'remainers' to take umbrage about !

Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not yet the end.

Waiting for geoffreys to come up with solutions now....

Could this be UKIP down the pan?

Farage may have stood down but he is still an MEP ( continuing to monitor from the inside).

For your information SFD, us "Remainers" know and accept we have to take what's coming, but it gets really stupid, when those like you "Leavers" keep on making comments about us. Are we not allowed to ask questions or look at how our own personal situations may now be affected, without having your continual ramming it down our throats that you "won" without all your ridiculous sarcasm. Perhaps if YOU were affected like some of us, you might not be so condescending towards us. Incidentally, why do you choose not to reveal your location? Do you reside in Britain then?

Yes, he is still an MEP, and I pity any person who now has to negotiate our exit with the EU, after he has made his comments about the EU. He didn't do the Leavers or Remainers any favours with his mocking of the other EU members. Perhaps Boris can help him find a way out of the back door!

Agree entirely Wavy Dave - the proverbial will now well and truly hit the fan...

Shouts his mouth off then when he knows he's caused enough damage, backs out smugly and watches someone else tries to sort out his mess.

(a) No.
(b) Exactly.

Don't forget who it was that forced Cameron to include the referendum in the Tory Party Manifesto.
The Country now owes a lot to Farage - who hopefully will be knighted for his services to
the Queen, Country, and people of the UK.


Geoff.

I would wait for another 5 years before giving him that sort of award. Even you might have changed your mind by then!!

Herewith letter received from Nigel Farage.
Geoff.

Yes Julie I agree...

Says much that their only MP Duncan Carswell sends a tweet on hearing the news like this

They leave a smoking car wreck behind them all and walk away...

A real hero then. Self praise and saying others are backsliding, whilst he himself angers other nations we now have to negotiate with, because of his gloating. No doubt, when we are not able to "negotiate" sufficiently, due much to his outbursts, that he will then blame whichever Party has had that difficult task. This, from an individual who backs out as soon as all the uncertainty caused much by him. As for giving him an award, the Tower of London might be a better option. Where is King Henry when we need him?

No, says much that you managed to get the name of their only MP wrong!

Hopefully the MEPs aren't the easily offended snowflakes that you take them for...

So Farage and Johnson the main protagonists of the Brexit vote have both run away from the consequences of their actions. It's a pity they couldn't have told us they had no plan if they won and that they would leave it to others to sort out. A bit like the boy who cried wolf.

Sky News reports :-Mr Farage says he intends to stay on as a member of the European Parliament as Britain triggers the process to exit the EU.
"I will watch the renegotiation process in Brussels like a hawk," Mr Farage promised.
"I'm also very keen to help the independence movements that are springing up in other parts of the European Union, because I'm certain of one thing - you haven't seen the last country that wants to leave the EU."

So expect 'some' to continue to moan, Geoff .

You are free to make as many statements and ask as many questions as you like.
But don't expect to always get an answer that you would like.

Thanks muchly CG, got carried away with the excitement have now corrected...

Who is Duncan Carswell?

I have no doubt that the losers (The Remainers) will moan. Won't do them any good however,
Brexit has been voted for and will be implemented, together with strict immigration controls.
We all owe a lot to both Nigel and to Boris - in fact to all those who ran the Leave campaign.
Keep on moaning losers , drown your sorrows
Geoff.

Absolutely agree. Those 2 were real "winners" weren't they?

The referendum result has just been announced.

Gove turns to Boris and says "We won! What do we do now?"

Boris to Gove: "I dunno. Pub?"

The referendum result has just been announced.

Young remain voters turn to each other, tears in their eyes...

"I wish we'd bothered to vote now!"

The referendum result has just been announced.

One northern coffin dodger turns to another, tears of joy in their eyes...

"I hope we live long enough to understand what our vote means"

The other says ... "who cares, this was the day we got our country back"

Precisely!

So, still afraid to state your location then

It's my bleddy iPad predicting for me, and I don't check...I'm doing something ( decorating ) in between the ipad pinging...

I will pay attention in future ...I can't argue the toss unless I do...thank you for being kind and only laughing....

Anyway I'll keep it as Duncan...maybe no one else will notice..

Can I just add....

Has anyone spotted the irony...in Farage announcing after the result as UK's ' Independence Day' and on the day he resigns...it's the 4th July...

Why are you obsessed by that...? What difference would it make...?

You'd be none the wiser if he put Paphos, Panama or Poland...

The referendum result has just been announced.

Boris turns to Farage and says "We won! What do we do now?"

Farage says "what do I care? Give it a week or so and I'm outta here but I'll still be being paid at least £200k per annum for fecking it all up"

SFD Quoted :- You are free to make as many statements and ask as many questions as you like.

Wavy Dave Quoted :- So, still afraid to state your location then

SFD Reply :- I do not consider my location to be any business of others .... so you might as well give up ( or carry on trolling). I don't mind.

I know he/she is your mate, as you both seemingly post at the same time to bully those who voted "Remain", but
it is obvious that neither of you like any of us even having an opinion, because you call it "moaning". As for my question to him/her, I wouldn't think you are needed to answer for them?

Ok. Rather like Boris then!

Put his mind at rest.
Tell him you're really in Timbuktu & 'he/she'? is in Umbogintwini.
He can spend time Googling that ... but won't be any the wiser !

Come on SFD, we know you live in Pissouri. Why not admit it?

Because it's not true !
Oh dear .... Are you guessing, too ?

Good, glad hes resigned rather than have to be pushed. He was certainly one of the right people to create the climate for leaving but certainly not the material for going ahead (maybe in 5 years he will be but not now) in leadership.

Hopefully he will be just the start of a whole swathe of resignations and sackings removing many useless inbreeds and those with interests only in the honey pot to be ousted.

A new breed of dedicated, eager, principled have had the door opened for them, lets see if they step up.

Oh dear, when did I bully you snowflake...?


I didn't answer for him/her - I asked why you are obsessed with the location of posters...?

Your ‘location’ helps other members offer assistance.

It is surprising the number of times members ask “where can I get or does anyone know ‘whatever’ in my area” but don’t give their location.

Believe it or not, someone once asked for the best route from ‘their house’ to Troodos but there was no location for ‘their house’

We have members all over Cyprus (and the rest of the world) and it really is helpful to fill in your location in the profile section.

Well said Tanny.

This is one of the best bi-products of the Brexit vote IMHO & the media has the brass neck to refer to them as 'the political elite'

Sri double posted in error.

At least UKIP Members got individual letters (emails) from Farage. More than Tory Members got from Cameron!
Farage did the UK a big favour, along with the other Leave campaigns, don't forget there was
more than one.

Oh no! Really? So pleased Farage had so much time on his hands to do that.

Are you and Cyprus Grump married, as your postings appear to be consistently in conjunction, and your unneccessary
baiting is becoming so boring.

Wavy Dave .... Your Quote :- "Are you and Cyprus Grump married (?), as your postings appear to be consistently in conjunction, and your unneccessary

1. No
2. Why reply to us then ?

The big question is who will replace Farage. My money is on Neil Hamilton (UKIP leader in the Welsh Assembly and cash for questions celebrity). He sounds like an honest sort of chap.

You will have to wait see.

I would have thought that who the political leaders are is a matter for everyone.
