Things I'm still waiting to happen:
Donald Tusk, European Commission president (I don't remember voting for him, do you?) said western political civilisation would be destroyed if the UK voted 'Leave'
David Cameron, who didn't quite say the words "war^^ will break out" but who did say:
"The serried rows of white headstones in lovingly-tended Commonwealth war cemeteries stand as silent testament to the price that this country has paid to help restore peace and order in Europe.
Can we be so sure that peace and stability on our continent are assured beyond any shadow of doubt? Is that a risk worth taking?
I would never be so rash as to make that assumption.
It’s barely been 20 years since war in the Balkans and genocide on our continent in Srebrenica. In the last few years, we have seen tanks rolling into Georgia and Ukraine. And of this I am completely sure.
The European Union has helped reconcile countries which were once at each others’ throats for decades. Britain has a fundamental national interest in maintaining common purpose in Europe to avoid future conflict between European countries."
I don't know about you but to me that reads like he's suggesting if we leave the EU peace it at risk and therefore war is more likely to happen. Of course he's too smart to actually say "world war three" but it's definitely implied, isn't it? So I'm still waiting for that to happen.
I'm still waiting for George Osborne's tax rises.
That immediate recession. I know you'll say it's because we haven't really left yet but before the vote it was suggested we'd all be in a recession the day after the vote... still waiting.
They said the EU could be reformed from the inside. I'm seeing no evidence of that being remotely possible. The EU is a power hungry bureaucracy that will not be tamed.
All those job losses. Isn't unemployment at its lowest rate?
My husband and I have both had pay rises this year. In the NHS! So we're not £4000 per year worse off this year.
I'm still waiting for Scotland to leave the UK. That's looking less likely after the last election, isn't it?
When will that massive fall in house prices come about?
I'm not still waiting for that EU army though, that Junker has proposed. The one that Clegg said would never happen. Think he said it was a dangerous fantasy...
