Eddie Izzard Has Lost It Again...

If only that only that pink beret didn't see the light of day again...

Why can't the minority (because that's what they are, however slender) just accept that they LOST?!

Khandro > Isn't protesting about the result of the referendum, rather like protesting over the result of a football match which your team has fairly lost?

Yes,except you can be dismissed in a game of football..

I was a 'Remainer' as you all know. I was starting to see the benefits of leaving. But now I hear that we may decide to get out of the European Economic Zone as well as out of the EU so that we can have more restriction on immigration.
My area near Cambridge voted very strongly to 'Remain' . We have several huge and very profitable science and medical research centers here they employ 10,000s of highly paid people. They depend totally on being able to move staff in and out all over Europe as easily as getting a bus into town.
They also get a large % of their research funding from the EU. People are really concerned that this 'Brexit' will be the end for them. They need absolute certainty that the freedom of travel and the funding will continue. They need this not just for now or next year but for decades into the future. In the EU they thought they had that! Now it has all been' blown'.
The government say they will replace the lost funding , but where from it is £ tens of billions? The UK has been getting by far the largest share of the available EU funds and a lot of it has been coming to Cambridge.

Anyone who is in any doubt about who Eddie Izzard is just needs to take note of below from wiki:-

He identifies as "a straight transvestite or a male lesbian".[63] He has also described himself as "a lesbian trapped in a man's body",[64] transgender,[59][65] and "a complete boy plus half girl"

[Khandro]

^ I wonder which half of the girl he got.

// How can anyone take Izzard seriously?

His performance on QT was cringeworthy with his boorish and obnoxious interruptions.He does the Remainers cause no good whatsoever. // I wouldn't mind if he was normal but !!!!

Eddie your post explains all. You are no doubt aware that the Government has already pledged to maintain research funding at the same levels as they are currently. Why do you think the EUSSR was so keen to provide funding? Could it be that they full access to the research done in the UK, and were keen to put it to their own nefarious use? The funding of which you speak will come out of the money that the EUSSR took from us..........then gave back(some of it) to us in errr funding. They were getting the results of British research for diddly squat. It is obvious that your whole stance regarding Brexit took only into account your own selfish and personal circumstances and had no regard for the common good as a whole of rest of the UK or indeed future generations of the UK. Now if you could get he French to sort out the Calais problem I am sure that goods and people will be able to move quite freely. Brexit does not prevent the movement of either. We were never in the Schengen Zone, you know that, but are once again blowing smoke.

Togo; I agree with what you say, though I think the Brexiteers (I'm one) didn't state clearly these basic facts of 'EU funding'. The same applies to the luvvies and artists who claim funding (for often crackpot projects), who seem to think that their kind benefactors are clowns in Brussels, who are actually handing them back money, with strings attached, which was first given to Brussels by British taxpayers.
