Who needs a leader who jumps off the ship when the people who elected him tell him what they want?

The European Union is just like Ebay, Dictatorial, restrictive, Controlling, No freedom to be able to do what is best for our businesses.

The UK now has a free hand to do what is required to make things so much better for ourselves.

Just like breaking away from Ebay with my own Website, was like a breath of fresh air. Business is so much better now.

Not to say that trading on Ebay will not continue for me, just as trading will continue in the EU for this country, but we all have a control of our own destiny. Free to make our own decisions without the interference of a dominating platform.

The question people should have been asking themselves is this ..... Looking at the state of the economies on mainland europe and the countries set to join, would we want to JOIN given all the issues that exist in europe now?

Iv'e been in a few clubs in my time and if they didn't deliver to my expectations I left ....... Guess what? I'm still here and my roof hasn't fallen in yet.

Have faith ...... this country may even be GREAT again.

True - but maybe Cameron is too used to doing as others say rather than doing the job himself - maybe he never did lead this country and is better off out of the way?

AA Gill's view

We listen to the Brexit lot talk about the trade deals they're going to make with Europe after we leave, and the blithe insouciance that what the'?re offering instead of EU membership is a divorce where you can still have sex with your ex. They reckon they can get out of the marriage, keep the house, not pay alimony, take the kids out of school, stop the in-laws going to the doctor, get strict with the visiting rights, but, you know, still get a shag at the weekend and, obviously, see other people on the side.

Really, that's their best offer? That's the plan? To swagger into Brussels with Union Jack pants on and say: ? "Ello luv, you're looking nice today. Would you like some??

When the rest of us ask how that?s really going to work, leavers reply, with Terry-Thomas smirks, that they're going to still really fancy us, honest, they're gagging for us. Possibly not Merkel, but the bosses of Mercedes and those French vintners and cheesemakers, they can?t get enough of old John Bull. Of course they?re going to want to go on making the free market with two backs after we?ve got the decree nisi. Makes sense, doesn?t it??

Cameron is a Knob of the highest order, Coming in when the country was in dire straits, what did he do? Go to a referendum in Scotland which wasn't the most urgent of matters and nearly lost us the UK, and now pandered to his backbenchers instead of telling them to shut up and has now made us 'Little' Britain.

And ebay fees are likely to go up as ebay UK are based in Luxembourg so go figure all you idiots

Don't think referring to over 50% of the population as being idiotic, holds much water. I like DC. Ok sure he made some poor decisions along with some good ones. He has done the right thing in resigning after loosing the Vote.

Re: EU vote

Anonymous — Fri, 24 Jun 2016 08:54:26 GMT

But he was voted in to run the country. (not by everyone either)

Now he has the chance to do that he runs away?

Seems he was only interested in being told what to do by Brussels and the easy life.

Then again I don't supose he'll be joining the dole queue any time soon?

I am totally mystified how one thing leads to the other in that statement.

The UK has not 'joined' eBay in a contract which it can 'leave'. eBay is a company that trades in the UK and the UK leaving the EU has got nothing to do with eBay's technological issues.

What may be interesting is whether eBay UK can continue to hold it's business within the EU (Luxemburg) and thereby take advantage of the lower VAT rates.

An outstanding insight.

eBay is an online selling platform based in Luxemburg. It's optional as to whether you use it or not to try and sell your items on. It's not some kind of small EU state.
