I was heavily against Scottish independence, but if there was another referendum I would be voting to leave the English.
The leavers haven't voted for a stronger Britain, they have voted for the end of the UK.
Yup thats ****ed it. Will be considering options and putting plans in place over the next year or 2 to ensure we can raise our son somewhere tolerant that can give him the freedoms we evidently wish to give up.
Expect substantial brain drain from the uk from now on
I feel sick.
Everyone convinced me we were staying despite my fears. I should have done more to convince others not to believe the lie of the self promoting racists.
How do you get over the fact that the majority of people around you have ****ed you over?
interesting times, lets see just how far the Pound is going to tank and how high inflation will go?
Well since the polls closed it's 7% down on the Aussie Dollar but I suspect we are taking a hit there too. It's stabalised for now but I'm guessing another drop when the FTSE hits the floor later on. Markets want stability, still can't see that coming from anywhere
Looks like I'll be sitting down to decide who is going to be one of the 4 people we'll be making redundant in about 3 hours time.
This sums up how exasperated I feel;
And this offers a warning of a deep change for Britain, a shift in how we are seen by the rest of the world. For decades, we were regarded as a great place to invest in, to move to or just to visit because we were the English-speaking gateway to the 27 nations of the European Union. We had a kind of best-of-both-worlds status, close to the US, close to the European continent.
That physical geography has not changed, but the psychological geography has. Suddenly it will make much less sense to headquarter a big international firm in London, or for a Japanese car-maker to locate a factory – one that aims to sell into Europe – in the north-east of England. Why do it, if you could be in Germany instead? Why come to post-Brexit Britain, where there could soon be the hassle of visas and tariffs and all the rest? Why bother?
I'm so unbelievably sad today. 😥

90c/£1 by 1pm
14% on Monday
Place bets now!
Proper ****ed
The answer to every question now is "don't know"
Welcome to a world in the UK of a sexist, bigoted, misogenistic, uneducated, little England mentality, who now faces recession, unemployment, inflation and living under Boris.
I'm surprised that I find myself disliking 51.7% of the U.K. Population.
Well done Gurland.
guess we won't be winning euro-vision next year. 😥
I kept dreaming it was remain, and another part of my brain had to keep telling the dreaming part that I was still sleeping and had not checked the news yet. This woke me up.
Control is an illusion.
We shall see. But the truth, uncomfortable or otherwise, is that 52% of the population have voted for it.
So no time for tears and blaming others isn't going to help. We are in a new world, with uncharted waters ahead. Time to get on with it.
#takecontrol 😉
people of the uk had a chance to vote and voice their opinion .. what is the problem ? is it because some didnt vote the same as you?
Everyone had the same ballot paper as far as I could see.
The people have voted....so suck it up
the north-east of England
Well, they brought it amongst themselves yesterday.
For the first time I my adult life I'm genuinely worried enough about the family finances in Santander, working for a US Corp and how the cost of living is about to go. Having said that, it's beyond my control so il just have to ride the waves I guess.
Ps if anyone is heading to the Alps or anywhere else on hols abroad this summer, might I suggest you get down the post office ready for when it opens.
Looking at the demographic of the guardian website it's the poor, badly educated, provincial middle aged Middle Englander who voted this country out.
In a years time they will still be poor and badly educated and those hospitals will not have been built (was it one every 2 weeks?) and a hard working Eastern European will still be 'doing their job'. They only have themselves to blame.
'Making Britain great again'? LOL?

FIFY
I think I have some Euro's I can post...
Oh my ****ing Lord!
What have the morons gone and done?
That's it we're knackered for at least the next few years, and further? Who bloody knows...
Seriously, is savings in a European bank safe?

It'll be too late by then. Buy it online now and hope they honour the transaction.
I hope the people at STW towers have drafted in some more hamster for today.
Yay! Democracy!
Everyone had the same vote as far as I could see.
That in essence is true. But the idea of democracy is that people vote from a position of knowledge, not ignorance.
I'm yet to see anyone on the Brexit side state what this will get better now we're due to leave. I can however see a lot of things getting worse, given that we are a nation that imports lots of things, and the pound is tanking. Worth remembering that most oil and gas is imported too, which means the cost of transporting and making the few things we do produce in this country will also increase.
One of the few tools a government has to increase the value of its currency is increasing interest rates. It's a pity then that the UK is pretty much at the highest levels of private debt it has been at for years.
Well the lunatics have well and truly then over the asylum.
I'm tired and scared. I genuinely fear for a terrible outcome from this vote.
Apparently Farage has come out and stated that the extra money for the NHS might have been a lie.....
Wonder how this is going to turn out when some people realise they have been shafted, again.
Who are politicians going to blame when Brussels isn't there anymore?
It's almost funny. Several mentions during the night of lack of pay rises over recent years being a motivator. What these idiots have done has given everyone a massive pay cut.
An hour until footsie time. Might I suggest anyone wanting to buy anything from outside the UK do it now?
Come Monday, and we'll be out of Europe again.
No more cheap schwalbes

I'm trying to work out which stores will charge me in pounds zokes... I don't trust the big ones to pass on the savings just yet. Not when the chance of real hard currency is around
Remember people we have left Europe but just the EU. Nothing's says we will be closing borders and becoming isolated. I would put a very large amount on us not actually leaving the EU. We might by name but not in practice. There will be a new hybrid membership.
It's hardly a majority tho. Wouldn't be enough for one party to win an election.... so why's it enough for something arguably more important than an election?
Are those rubber dinghies turning around in the med? Are the camps in Calias been taken down? Are the Syrian refugees marching back home ? Are they ####! Farage and Boris .
In the 1930's the world started to lean to the right led by economic hard times, that didn't end well.
I seriously fear for the world. I feel sick.
There will be a new hybrid membership.
This was my theory.
It's my daughter's first birthday today. It's her I feel most sad for. She's far too young to realise what a ****ing disaster this is.

How dare you compare Gove, BoJo (and Trump) with the funny little bloke with a moustache 🙄 😉

Immigrants silly!

That's never been true from the times of Aristolte onwards.
So lets assess the carnage so far
S&P not hanging around - final AAA under threat
HSBC and Stan Char already down 10%
Lloyds expected to lose 1/5 to a 1/4 of its value this morning
Crap yields have fallen even further
Japs in emergency talk over Yen
EM currencies being mullered
Bongohooha - +1 😉

Did this yesterday. And placed bet on brexit at 6/1.
But I'd swap it in a second.
Woody: that is my main hope, now.
Lots of people are going to be in for a nasty surprise when they find out that we're not going to be led into a golden utopia by Boris and Nigel.
Well, that's buggered up anything I was planning to import - that's okay, though, bike shops make loads of money...
Unknown - my feelings too, my son is one in a couple of weeks and i fear for his future.
Difference being that unlike a lot of those who voted to leave both myself and my wife have skills that can transfer worldwide. Only question is where to?
