    Hi Andy and Edyta
    My wife and I voted last week (postal votes) which turned out to be a complete waste of energy as she voted one way and I the other, neatly cancelling each other out.
    Oh well, such is life!

    Well I suppose if the UK votes to leave the EU they can always apply to join the Great Anzac Commonwealth!

    Great photo Andy & Edyta!

    Thank you for your good wishes, Andrzej and Edyta.

    What will the result's effect be on the price of models here, I wonder? I expect that they will increase.

    I see now we live in totally different worlds.

    It is not possible Sven and I am not sure if the Brexiters are aware of that.
    One of the grounds of Norway's, Switzerland's and Iceland's status in the European Economic Area, EEA is the free movement of people which was one of the basis for the referendum! Moreover, Norway pays a contribution to the EU budget up to 90% of the sum it should pay if being a regular member.
    So if UK would like to be a second Norway and function on the same conditions, than the Brexit is a total absurd.
    The think-tankers say that UK now has a nasty choice between a plague and a cholera.

    Sad day for all those who fought a war to end wars in Europe and dreamed for a better future.
    The EU stands, if for nothing more, for 70 years without murdering wars in the western Europe.
    Dark days are coming and we can see the vultures flying freely in the skies again.

    Sometimes there aren't enough tinfoil hats to go around.... And Andrzej, you're spot on about Britain's prospects. Many a little infographic about Switzerland and Norway has been shared in the past few weeks, and they've all been curiously lacking the bit about unlimited migration being a condition that the deal rests on. Britain has chosen to leave - now it gets to discover what "leave" actually means....

    The result of the UK referendum is only a notice of intention to leave according to Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon. EU Treaties remain in effect as per subsection (3), see below:

    Article 50

    1. Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements.

    2. A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention. In the light of the guidelines provided by the European Council, the Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. That agreement shall be negotiated in accordance with Article 218(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It shall be concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council, acting by a qualified majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.

    3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.

    4. For the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 3, the member of the European Council or of the Council representing the withdrawing Member State shall not participate in the discussions of the European Council or Council or in decisions concerning it. A qualified majority shall be defined in accordance with Article 238(3)(b) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

    5. If a State which has withdrawn from the Union asks to rejoin, its request shall be subject to the procedure referred to in Article 49.

    The changes will not likely take effect for some time.

    It's either a triumph of the democratic process or a moment of national insanity depending on which side of the debate you stand.

    Hi Carl, i knew that the official changes take place two years after notice given, I was thinking more on the lines of Europeans backlash against visits to Uk, for which I would not blame them as we have basically just turned our backs on them, which I think we will rue. But that is what the vote says.

    Pretty sure Andy will be too, got to keep the European flag flying

    We didn't even have the right to vote one way or the other as they put a limit of to vote on being more than 15yrs away from the UK , neither did my children one of whom works in France and another who lives in Spain but works in Gib. Certainly is a watch this space scenario.

    We should respect the vote of the British.

    ...and we should respect the feelings of other EU members.

    Your father is from Italy.

    How does he think about the EU?

    Why do you think the EU should dissapear?



    I accept your opinion, but try to see the reason for it.



    At Prague Con I asked Flying Officer Kyte, if the UK is embedded in a kind trading / treaty sytem network of the former Commonwealth countries. It isn't.

    Maybe this is a new way to revive old connections and be a gateway to continental Europe.



    I'm not angry but I feel not good today. Something has to change in the EU. Bigger states have to care for intakes or follow solutions and measures of smaller ones like it happened in the refugee question. But the last thing we should do is bury the project.

    I wasn't talking about you or me, but the space where we are.
    You can always give your opinion. That's what freedom is for.
    And you can see that nobody that is against UK leaving is saying that they cannot. Once again it's democracy working.
    Even if we think that the choice was wrong, we'll do nothing against it.

    What I was saying is that because we're a band of friends here - whether we're pro or against Brexit, we should not let our opinions become too acid.

    And believe me, your opinion about Europe, immediately made my blood pressure went up a bit.
