So how goes things today, thread? You seem to have finished arguing over racism.

I maintain it's only racism where you're killing them - anything else is light harassment.

Agreed. If the bastards wanted to be treated fairly they should go back to Arabia.

Big hints that we won't be allowed to dawdle.
It is not a cantankerous question of permissive godwottery, but a question of what rambunctious skullduggery runs widdershins to us dawdling.

Now that it has (barely!) been established that we want to leave, despite my own feelings, I think we need to go fast and hard.
Without going into descriptive terms more fit for lewdness, what would you suggest we do in the leaving process? Or only using terms more fit for lewdness I suppose, whatever floats ones goats

Re-establish the Republic of/Northern Ireland border.
Fixed border controls for the common travel idea is not a good idea, I've only see this said by people who thought Ireland and the UK were schengen area

Stockpile materials for a potential Scottish fence.
1. Hadrian's wall lel
2. You don't need to stockpile materials for fences
3. Scotland will be pissed off by southern migration on the ground route long before the other way around
4. If independence occurs

Nationalise the steelworks to create the necessary metal for that.
Not a good reason to nationalize our steel industries. Supporting our shipyards and aerospace would make more sense tbh than fences, we can get fences quite easily

Start to ramp up military hardware, simultaneously.
"Ramp up?"

Reverse the armed forces de-recruitment plans, demothball the second aircraft carrier and construct new patroln ships, send military units down the Chunnel to better control the 'British zone' at that end. Revoke all visa-waivering. Build that Boris Island as the International air-portal, with segmented zones to allow greater- and lesser-priviledged national carriers/originating visitors to be kept segregated....
I think just abandoning the failed replacement of the active vs reserves recruitment would suffice, the second aircraft carrier is not mothballed and our patrol ship fleet is of sufficient size. Personally I'd like one more science vessel and more mine clearance ships (never enough mine clearance ships) but that's not necessary, just a thing of personal preference. Sending military down to the Chunnel should be done at Calais, not Dover, makes more sense to start prevention as prevention, not just damage control. Boris Island as the international airport do not make sense, you do not make a supplement your staple, and a new airport would have much development to do before it could compete with Heathrow or Gatwick. Revoking all visa-waivering is pointlessly retarded.

Or not. But we do need to establish both our national USP and also pull a lot of our external needs (e.g. energy and food supplies) homeward. If we're going to be insular, let's do it properly. (Not that the current government, even under the next leader-presumptive, will ever spend money to save money.  It'll continue to cut costs, ineffectually, to thus actually cost of our economy much more.)
I think it's a telling product of how little the two camps listened to one another that this is the impression of Leave; that it was not a vote to be in the world again, but a vote to be insular.

So how goes things today, thread? You seem to have finished arguing over racism.
We briefly touched on the etymology of salty in addition to what the banks are doing. Still gonna take some time to see what actually happens of their actions

Get this: on thursday at 12:23 PM the EU newsroom posted an article on divorce laws called: "International divorces: new rules on whose courts settle property disputes"

Oh, the irony

GBP/USD exchange rate looks to be normalizing at ~1.36. Dead cat bounce or hasty financiers reining in the horses?

Who can say~

Actually, I seem to remember someone or another mentioning a fair amount of the current stabilization was due to (re)investment in gold mining? Something along those lines, anyway. Which is another way of saying it may be a bounce :V

Some of it's due to the banks doing the whole flail about panicking trying to mitigate the damage thing, too, though.

So an amusing thought: From my understanding, London is quite integrated with the EU, essentially serving as its financial capital; as such they voted strongly remain too. Anyone know if there's a possibility of London leaving the UK? :V
So I guess I wasn't the only one to think this: http://www.newsweek.com/london-sadiq-khan-brexit-londependence-independence-referendum-474356?piano_t=1
