Article 50 (We need some high brow stuff here)

Yeah, I read that an hour or two ago.
It hadn't occurred to me that Cameron may have deliberately dumped the whole mess onto his successor, possibly Johnson.

Johnsons press conference on Friday morning looked like a man who was dazed / confused and who had a voice in his head that just kept saying

Cameron and Hodgeson both resign within 5 minutes of their defeats.

Kinda says something about their leadership qualities doesn't it?

Cameron is smart........he doesn't wanna be the one to push the red button

No but He showed no leadership on the issues, allowed the debate to degenerate into a racist rant and, like his footballing counterpart, has left his country looking foolish and walked away.

All I can say is that I'm very glad to be retiring before the 2 years is up and will be living a nice little low cost life in my little house by then. I would hate to be in a position where I relied on work within the EU like some do when this comes to an end, as it likely will not be an easy or affordable task.

For some that voted out, it was nothing to do with racism, but they bought the NHS angle and for others it was about control and being more involved in the new laws being set. There are certain areas of England that are very multi racial, even with a majority of different nationalities. Mind you, I have never really understood the distribution of migrants either. Like one lady said on a programme, 'Why should I learn to speak English, when everyone I know here speaks my language?'. If people were distributed more evenly there would be a better chance of integration instead of the 'them and us' mentality which I so hate.

Lastly the campaigning that led up to the vote was dreadful and full of blatant lies and manipulation. For many people this led to us trying to work out the truth, so we could make an educated decision on who to vote for, but I believe most people even as they voted were not sure if they had made the right choice or not, as the information we had to go on was so confusing and contradictory. This referendum was a farce from the start. It should not have happened the way it did and it would have been better to use the model already used by the Scottish with a 2 year period of time where we can make up our minds with sound information and understanding of what leaving meant. It feels like the UK has been used to make someone's point and it backfired.

Well done the UK government, you played a blinder!

It says something about falling on your sword, a concept Irish(politicians in particular) know nothing about.

Throughout the campaign, Cameron had repeatedly said that a vote for leave would lead to triggering Article 50 straight away. Whether implicitly or explicitly, the image was clear: he would be giving that notice under Article 50 the morning after a vote to leave. Whether that was scaremongering or not is a bit moot now but, in the midst of the sentimental nautical references of his speech yesterday, he quietly abandoned that position and handed the responsibility over to his successor.

get out clause maybe
for them to stay
if a general election were to be called
and a party campaigned on a promise to keep Britain in the EU, got elected and then claimed that the election mandate topped the referendum one.
