Talking of the "plan" that appears to have been overlooked...
Here's one called the "Have Your Cake and Eat It Too Plan": "Cornwall votes for Brexit and then pleads to keep EU funding" "The Cornish council has issued a plea for “protection” following the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union. Cornwall, which has a poor economy and as such has received millions of pounds in subsidies from the EU each year for over a decade, voted decisively to Leave. But this money is now threatened following the severing of ties with the EU. John Pollard, the leader of Cornwall council said: “Now that we know the UK will be leaving the EU we will be taking urgent steps to ensure that the UK Government protects Cornwall’s position in any negotiations. “We will be insisting that Cornwall receives investment equal to that provided by the EU programme which has averaged £60m per year over the last ten years.” European money has helped develop infrastructure, universities and broadband internet in the county. From 2007 to 2013, €654m was given to pay for these projects, the Financial Times reported. But a statement on the council website posted on Friday said prior to the referendum said the county was reassured by the Leave side that withdrawing from the EU would not affect the funding already allocated by Brussels. Leave campaigners also promised the county would not be worse off in terms of the investment it receives. “We are seeking urgent confirmation from Ministers that this is the case,” the statement added." Etc.... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/brexit-cornwall-issues-plea-for-funding-protection-after-county-overwhelmingly-votes-in-favour-of-a7101311.html Posted by Poirot, Saturday, 25 June 2016 7:46:48 PM

"The reality is that Brexit has nothing to do with my views.
Obviously, if you're going to leave the world's largest trading bloc, one would expect some sort of grand plan to be waiting in the wings." But we've both just agreed that your views are irrelevant, remember? The idea that you know how to structure the world economy is just laughable stupidity, and your openly displaying that you fail to understand this only makes a more complete fool of yourself. All of the Bremain arguments are based on the assumptions either that the super-state showers material benefits on its subjects without corresponding cost anywhere - infantile creationist superstition - or wrongly blame the Brits for the EU's protectionism.

JKJ,
"The idea that you know how to structure the world economy is just laughable stupidity, and your openly displaying that you fail to understand this only makes a more complete fool of yourself." What is your problem? I point out that everyone seems to have been caught on the hop with the Brexit result - and you deliver your usual sad hackneyed spiel. Lol!....how many times have we heard it? JKJ disagrees with fellow poster and faster than a duffer without an argument, he whips out the ad hom. Anyhoo... "Brexit petition demanding change to EU referendum rule to force second vote gains more than a million signatures" "More than a million people have signed a petition demanding a second EU referendum as the UK continues to reel from the vote for a Brexit. Signatories are calling for a new rule to be implemented stipulating that polls on the European Union with a majority under 60 per cent and turnout under 75 per cent must be re-started." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-petition-latest-eu-referendum-rules-change-force-second-vote-poll-government-a7102486.html Didn't take long... The wheels haven't fallen off yet - but they appear somewhat wobbly. Posted by Poirot, Saturday, 25 June 2016 8:47:40 PM

Hi Poirot, I was sorry to read that you are not in favor of the Slave Market. A careful analyst of this Pommy vote, by the Usual Suspects on the Forum, has revealed the Poms had in fact voted to give a ringing endorsement to the Turnbull government, don't want a jack of gay marriage in Australia, want all Muslims here locked up, and throw away the key. Also the Poms want it known, they are all voted out, and wont be fronting up in Oz next week to put Malcolm back in, unless its necessary.

"3 Brexit promises campaigners had wriggled out of before breakfast on EU referendum results day"
As previously mentioned:
"Nigel Farage told Good Morning Britain it was a "mistake" for the Leave campaign to claim there'd be £350m a week extra for the NHS after Brexit .
Asked to guarantee that money would go to the NHS he said: "No, and I would never have made that claim. That was one of the mistakes that the Leave campaign made."
On immigration...
"Speaking on BBC News this morning, Tory MEP Daniel Hannan said: "People are grown up and they understand this isn't something that can happen tomorrow.
"No one has ever suggested there is going to be no immigration.
"There will be EU nationals watching this programme now and I want to underline - no one has suggested any change in their status."
Plus...invoking Article 50 straight away
"Brexit campaigner Dr Liam Fox said: "A lot of things were said in advance of this referendum that we might want to think about again and that (invoking article 50) is one of them.
"I think that it doesn't make any sense to trigger article 50 without having a period of reflection first, for the Cabinet to determine exactly what it is that we're going to be seeking and in what timescale.
"And then you have to also consider what is happening with the French elections and the German elections next year and the implications that that might have for them.
"So a period of calm, a period of reflection, to let it all sink in and to work through what the actual technicalities are."
