people of the uk had a chance to vote and voice their opinion .. what is the problem ?
The problem is that to make the best decision when you vote you have to understand the issues.
If I put it to a vote my kids would vote unanimously for crisps for breakfast. Would that be a good idea? It'd be democratic...?
Sounds delicious either way
her I feel most sad for. She's far too young to realise what a **** disaster this is.
This. So much this, giving the kids breakfast and I just feel some massive weight has been placed on their shoulders.
I'm a member of a few Facebook groups for various interests. Without exception it's the knuckle dragging morons with the Union Jack profile pictures posting victory messages telling about 'taking there country back'. Democracy may not be such a great idea after all.
I think we've all got to deal with the emotion first and let things settle. Chances are it won't be as bad as we're all fearing.
At least things are interesting now and have been shaken up. Even if it's not the result we wanted we have chance to say we told you so.
$350 billion wiped of the UK economy already (about 40 years worth of 'unaffordable' EU payments) buts it's only doom and gloom so it's okay. Stats show the old have sold the future they don't have to ease their unfounded fears.
In Italy this morning. Have overwhelming urge to keep apologising to people for the small-mindedness of the UK. Now off to empty the local ATM of Euros.
To the guy that's about to make someone redundant - to do so solely on the grounds of a dodgy referendum is not a sensible move and if you did it to me I'd drag you to an employment tribunal, and win. Assuming the relevant laws haven't been ditched by then in favour of electric shock collars and workhouses.

No description of anything good started with the word interesting. I told you so is great, I think we all told you the currency would tank (oh it is 7.5% drop overnight before the market has opened) so tomorrow things start going up, so the cost of living rises. Well done.
molgrips - you are thinking just the way the Politicians are, they think they know better, and the uneducated mass should be told how to vote.
This vote, and the last election with the ousting of Labour in many places, show that the 'great unwashed' are sick of the promises/lies/thoughts/ideas of the cureent crop of Politicians.
They have no idea how people feel about the vast majority of their policies, and they still think they know right, just like many on these EU threads, who pretty much dismiss anyone who wants to leave.
Well played, Corbyn.
How long before leave voters realise that half the promised independent utopia is not down to EU, but down to our policies and decisions of the last 30 years?
How long before EU itself starts to unravel....
From the coal face.
This is more volatile than Lehmans.
S&P futures have already been limit down (although they have come out of that now).... when that happens there is NO hedge and ANYthing with ANY liquidity will get hit.
The stock market may well close... I blooming hope not... Ive been here for an hour already
Lets make good of a bad situation and make a few quid.
Could be a dream scenario for my desk... I trade US equities .... Uk buyers of over seas stocks in a falling market.... just a long time to wait until this afternoon when we can get stuck in ... will be helping the ETf boys until then
On a purely selfish note, I just bought a house. Britain you absolute bastard
I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling like this right now

Sorry. A lot of people are stupid; don't bother to find out anything about politics; only read biased news sources; or just don't think about it.
You cannot convince me that their viewpoint should be the basis of competent government. Crisps for breakfast.

We wouldn't have a community on here if it wasn't for disagreement.
Labour in many places, show that the 'great unwashed' are sick of the promises/lies/thoughts/ideas of the current crop of Politicians
Very true and the political classes don't know how to react hence the rise of Trump etc.
The unknown is what will emerge from this vacuum?
Ro5ey - long Trump votes??? This is all part of a wider trend. Position yourself correctly!!
The EU will start to unravel, and, hopefully revert back to its original intention, a co-operative free trade area.
Germany, Austria,France and Netherlands will be fretting today, as they will be the ones who will have to paythe majority of the debts when one of the basket case economies fail again.
Your life isn't hard. It may be relatively harder in the future than is was in the past, but it's not a hard life you live. Dry your ****ing eyes. Adapt and overcome my limp wristed biker e-friends.
On a purely selfish note, I just bought a house. Britain you absolute bastard
Assuming you bought a house because you loved it and you can afford it - why should that change?
Alanl - i now think that is the best option that could happen considering this outcome.
Can't see it though too many groups will try to keep it together no matter what
Well... the idiots have won. Hurray for xenophobia. I fear for the direction this now drags our political discourse in. Its on a rightward trajectory with some thoroughly nasty individuals at the helm
I am utterly ashamed of of my country this morning. As well as being despondent for my childrens future.
The older baby boomer generation, in a typically selfish act, as they have done so many tines before, have deprived the youth of another one of the benefits that they themselves enjoyed.
The EU will start to unravel, and, hopefully revert back to its original intention, a co-operative free trade area.
It was to bind France & Germany ( and other belligerents wannbes) together to prevent another European war.
The EU will start to unravel, and, hopefully revert back to its original intention, a co-operative free trade area.
In an orderly or disorderly fashion?
London to be a special economic area like Hong Kong?
Well... the idiots have won
its that kind of sentiment - dismissing people with a different view to yours as idiots that have got us to this point.
...And thanks Corbyn. Still sat in the 6th form common room, staring dreamily at pictures of Stalin & Fidel?
I wish I'd bought that bit from Bike24 last night it's gone up by £20 this morning and my forks will have gone up by even more.
£50+ poorer already
****ing thanks #Brexix
its that kind of sentiment - dismissing people with a different view to yours as idiots that have got us to this point.
I agree. Idiots don't like being called idiots. Perhaps we should have called them morons instead. Either is demonstrably true.
Assuming you bought a house because you loved it and you can afford it - why should that change?
My main regret is not taking a longer fixed term
dismissing people with a different view to yours as idiots that have got us to this point.
So anyone with a different point of view is automatically valid? Every point of view is equally worthwhile?
Give me a break.
I'm assuming the STW demographic is from the South East and Scotland!?
When you see Farage doing a victory speech on the news, you know something is wrong.

Every point of view is equally worthwhile?
Yes, that is how it works. Can't complain now.
In all seriousness, if people believe that we're stretched to the limit via immigration and have voted for exit, the only rational thing to do to solve this now is: deportations.
Am I right? I can't think of any other measure that would achieve this end.
I didn't want the 'out' vote to bother me but then I hear that both the French and Belgium far right parties wanting a referendum too (spurred on by our result) and I hear Farage all gleeful on R4. How can I not not be saddened by all the xenophobic bigots being happy for an 'out' vote. Sad day.

That story shows how bloody stupid people are.
"Phased repatriations" already mentioned by a UKIP MEP, and this is how it starts, with "phased repatriations" aka "send 'em back".
Glad that's over and as stated earlier I'm looking forward to no discernable changes. As you were people.
dismissing people with a different view to yours as idiots that have got us to this point.
I do apoligise. They're not all idiots. Theres a good smattering of old fashioned racists and bigots in there too.
I don't know what the Outers expect to happen now, but I suspect they're going to be very very disappointed. Boris and co are about to set about reshaping things in their own interests. Those voting to give 'The Establishment' a kicking aren't going to like the New Establishment one little bit, when the reality of it takes shape. Saying 'We told you so' is going to be a pretty dispiriting experience for the next few years
Finally I can buy ab odd shaped banana!!!
Well, that was a early morning shock! Peed off I didn't buy my dollars yesterday, but hey I'm sure it will all bounce back as the dust settles! ( crosses fingers)
Certainly interesting times ahead! 😕

as the human rights charter is now under repeal, I can, without fear of reprisal, because we have our country back etc, say:
"if you voted leave, then you are a stupid ****".
P-jay
Either you misheard Dan Hannan say phased repatriation...of powers or you have got caught up in a twitter shit stir from someone who wants you to think he meant people. Which Dan Hannan would never say, and you insult him if you think he would.
