Did you honestly think a campaign built on lies had an actual plan? I'm be impressed and hold some regards of respect of them if they did with the lies simply being a small part of the bigger equation. Sadly most of the leaders in support of this didn't actually think it through and said anything and everything to take us out, ignoring the feasibility of it all.
Whenever someone says 'unity', all I can hear is "can someone else do the work for us?"
There's no plan, misleading Facebook memes and import/export ratios isn't leverage. There's no route out of this which gives a politically acceptable method of bending over in a manner which allows Londons financial centres competitive advantage intact
Tales from ass !
Yes, I tuned in rather hoping the questions would be along the lines of "what the fuck now?"
Some hope. As a country, it appears we fucking deserve this shower of shite.

The only UKIP MP believes the horseshit about only 400,000 eligible and nobody challenged him despite the fact you can look at the json file and see 96% of the votes come from the UK.

Yeah someone should point that out to him, made himself look a fool. Then again I guess he likes that facade.
To be an effective politician, Diane Abbott would need a brain transplant. It's genuinely amazing to me that she even has a job. She is so thick.

Paul Nuttall takes the idea of 'cultural marxism' seriously. Of course he's gonna pull things out of his ass.
Just trying to ensure the BBC survives a post-Brexit Britain.
Question Time is infuriating, and it's just further proof of what a farce this referendum was. Wish I was living in Scotland right now; Salmond is beasting this rodeo.
Nope, I knew they never had a plan and that's why I voted remain. It's just ridiculous that it's two days since they won with the EU pressuring us to all hell and they STILL only say vague insinuations of "unity" and "German car manufacturers"
There's a video which shows Firage talking about this exact point that turned up - he is as guilty as all of them of this lie. and it is a lie - it's straight up impossible. We don't freaking spend £350m on Europe!

Farage was implicit with the lie. If he really thought it was a mistake and was misleading voters unfairly he could have said so at any point during the campaign. Instead he waited until after the result to say he didn't agree with it, as though that excuses him from accountability.

Unless there's mass manifestations I'm afraid UK-GAF you're fucked.
These POS politicians who play on ignorance are fucking you over.

What a bore, question time has lost its way.
It is called Question Time, not Answer Time.
Hehe. No but this one especially was going in circles. Leave are so happy they won they don't seem to care what comes next.
I'm not disagreeing with that but it's largely irrelevant because Farage's campaign was technically separate from the main Leave campaign. Him lying doesn't matter because he's not an elected official. The Leave campaign largely were.

"We have to move on" to actual problems that need to be solved, what a fitting ending. Last one out of the UK turn off the lights.

That last question "how are we going to fund research now?" answer: "we lost" ding dong was that bell?
Yes. Unequivocally.

Heh. That's brilliant.
Yeah lol.
"What about the funding of research?"
> "We've lost - let's move on."
Unbelievable. Like the question doesn't even matter anymore.
The UK is fucked. I'm sorry for you guys. I hope our generation and those following us can somehow make this right again someday.
According to the Facebook meme I pulled out of my arse, only 2 people care about that subject. Of course, the real number is millions of people, but who needs facts? It's not FACT TIME.

Only question that mattered in the end.

Yep fraid so, no one has a plan, no one wants to take charge and no one wants to activate article 50, we are well and truly fucked.

Silly to have an hour on such an important issue. Should be on BBC2 for 3 hours. What's the point of asking questions and then moving on because we haven't got time for an answer.
Meanwhile, lets hear Alan Shearer instead.

You just have to move on, apparently.

Gotta say good on Scotland for having by far the smartest politicians. I'd be 110% for Scottish independence and EU membership just on the weight of the clusterfuck so far.

What I got from that was there is no plan... Still. Oh and England aren't just being racist towards immigrants, but towards Scotland too.
He did get an answer. It was basically "we fucked up, so tough luck".

We haven't got the time. Move on.
Eh, it's just people yelling at each other, nothing of value would be there.
