I was listening to Marr on R4 this morning talking about how people were healthier under ration than they are now in abundance of supply, and it sounded like some people enjoyed it.

Not the EU. They need to play hardball just in case others decide to leave. We are going to realise quite quickly how fucked we are.
you may be right, but the EU itself is the one clamouring for a quick result.
The French and Germans have said no talks. The rest will simply fall in line.
It’s exactly as predicted, we have entered a poker game with a hand that includes a couple of fours and Mr Bun the Baker.
We will blink first as we have no bargaining power whatsoever.
Big words are great for ego, and the side of buses, but that’s where it ends.

I am assuming that article 50 will have to be ratified through the Parliamentary system. What if Sturgeon kills it or the Lords turn it down?

if they won’t talk it will take longer to plan this.
I’m not sure who it suits TBF.
Everthing’s alright. It’s alright. Everything’s fine…

S&P having just downgraded our credit rating had this to say
The political situation in Europe at the moment adds to the economic and
financial uncertainty. This is because important elections are due in several
EU countries in the year ahead, starting with elections this Sunday in Spain.
“What this all means is that from a European standpoint, one can fear that the
real negotiations between the U.K. and the EU may not begin in earnest before
the middle of 2017, after the political air has cleared,” said Mr. Six.

57% increase in hate crimes since Friday, as reported by BBC news tonight.
Anyone who says that xenophobia and racism hasn’t played a role in the leave campaign must surely be questioning themselves now.

So do you still wish you’d voted Brexit because of all these griping Remainers moaning?

There’s an Asian reporter on BBC local news saying that she’s been racially abused since the referendum, but I don’t get it or believe it because she was fucking gorgeous.
Taking no position on the specifics of the matter, here’s some fuller information which appears to match the news you heard.
The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) has said that there has been an increase in reports to True Vision, a police online hate crime reporting site.
Between Thursday and Sunday there were 85 reports - a rise of 57% compared to the corresponding four days four weeks ago.
The NPCC said the figures only take into account reports made through one mechanism, and this should not be read as a national increase in hate crime of 57%.
is it sima kotecha? her bbc profile pic is atractive.
edit: hang on, no it was twitter profile
No idea what her name is. Never seen her actually reporting anything. All I know is that I’m in love.
Been racially abused? “Tough, democracy in action.”
Expecting to have to leave the country? “Tough, 52 beats 48.”
Beaten in an argument by a more intelligent person? “I hope you die.”
