[Closed] Today is the first day of the rest of our lives

Brilliant.
Looking forward to another recession.
Just look at that twunt Farage.
Today is a very bad day.

To be sovereign once more.

Intensely proud of this democratic exercise, and very glad I made the effort to travel home to vote.

The intense thunder storm we just had over head as they announced the result was timely I thought.

Don't trust the bastards in Westminster to do anything. They'll find a way to wriggle out of it.

Posting in the bike section.....it's downhill already 🙁

😉

Looking forward to all these swarms of sharp international trade experts coming out of the cupboard to work for our underfunded government. Oh, they have city jobs alresdy

@mikesmith, the Lords I'm more ambivalent about. The system worked for a long time but too buggered about with in recent decades. Maybe time for a big change. UK federation to accommodate Scotland's divergent opinion?

Pound falls, import costs rise, inflation rise, reactive interest rise rise, cost of living rise. Least the very small amount we export will be more attractive. Good times on the speculation market ahead.

I didn't know which way to vote prior to the referendum, and at the last minute made the decision to vote

This morning I am shocked by the decision, at least I can now have no regrets.

At least it's nice and sunny here and hopefully the crash lasts a while and the property market takes enough of a hit that I can return to what remains of the UK at some point.

I find it hard that so many people voted against their own interests - let alone common interests.

let alone common interests.

That would be a lack of common sense

Uncertain times ahead. I did not think it would turn out this way ??

To be sovereign once more.

This is the shit that really boils my piss and shows fundamental lack of understanding. We are sovereign with in the EU, the EU has never taken away our sovereignty. People using word they di not even understand.

@TheBrick. I disagree. As did 52% of a 72% turn out.

@The Brick that's the famed democratic deficit!

It still does not make you right, just uneducated or deluded.

It's the result, so now time to deal with it and move on. And please don't call me uneducated. It's not the case and it wouldn't help the next stages, much as it didn't help the remain campaign.

very true, we have all given up holding our breath for any knid of a leave policy....

I eagarly await the looks of abject dissapointment and anger when the slogans fail to deliver anything close to what was expected.

As a scottish mate said about the one up there, we don't care if we are ****ed we just want to know we ****ed ourselves.

Had the Remain campaign explained the facts without spin they may have won but they didn't. It's as much a protest vote against the absence of honesty/trust as it is an EU one.
I'm not clear on how anyone can argue a vote either way is obviously correct as no one knows what the future holds on such a unique scenario.

The contrary view, which the majoriity hold is that now we will prosper, eventually.

One immediate benefit is that exports will be cheaper, imports more expensive, that will be good for the Country, and will help pay back some of our national debt.

And the big loser of the night, the Politicians, who just cannot understand that 'normal' people, outside of the South East, do not agree with their ideas.
Not that it'll change anything, the rich will stay rich, and very little will trickle down.

I must admit I was a no in the Scottish independence ref.

I think now the result would be different assuming that scotland would stay in the EU

Let the English and welsh stew in their own juices with their drawbridge up

Taking a new job paid in dollars may not have been totally daft now 🙂

I was a staunch no in the indyref

I'd vote yes right now and for the foreseeable. Going on our own cannot be worse than this disaster

The Scots had their vote to stay in the UK, that means being part of our democracy and accepting the vote. I hope everybody just get on with it and quits bitching. It was the highest turn out in decades (still poor) the people have spoken.

Used to be proud to be British, now ashamed to be English 👿

The people have spoken but given how hopeless and full of bitching and bullshit both campaign were, are we confident that the people have spoken wisely?

Pretty shocked at the result but a large part of the blame needs to be laid at the feet of the EU leaders and Cameron. I bet they didn't even really negotiate on immigration, just figured that Remain was a done deal so why bother. Leave was pretty much a single issue campaign and they failed when they had a chance to address that issue.
Mind you as much as I want Cameron to resign now I don't want Gove or Boris in his place.
Democracy is fine until all the options are shit :p

You are joking right? The Scots now have a straight choice between being part of the UK, or being part of Europe. That's an absolute no-brainer for them, particularly as the EU will give them a good deal to stay in/rejoin.

This isn't about national cream tea day then?

Britain has lost its triple a credit rating as of 6am. Off to a good start then.

Edit. Misread, it's expected to hasn't yet.

I'm assuming that the STW demographic is from the South East or Scotland!?

The intense thunder storm we just had over head as they announced the result was timely I thought.

Aye, it's almost like someone had just angered the Gods....

I feel it's about time to launch an old school blood sacrifice cult 😈

Disagree, he wasn't negotiating from a strong position. Will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Now that's ironing.

No it's not. The same can't be said of the Leave campaign because they did win. Both were guilty of spin but it's hurt Remain more.

I feel genuinely sick from this.

never a truer word spoken, just look which two buffoons the yanks have to choose from 🙄

I feel genuinely sick from this

same here

Mechanical dope, You and both, sleepless night here, good chance I'll be out of work by Christmas (work directly linked to EU and current project ends in Autumn) 😥

At least I should have a good cx season with all that time to train

Exports would be cheaper were it not for tariffs, you mean...

The backtracking by the leave party already started.

"It was a mistake to claim 350m more could be spent on NHS"

Says farage on live tv

It's as much a protest vote against the absence of honesty/trust as it is an EU one.

So half the country have voted to **** everything up as a bit of a protest vote?

They're even more retarded than I thought.

Guess we now await to hear when the scottish referendum is ?

The cost of imports is now up by 6% !... The pound has just lost 6% since opening. Still this was what the people wanted.!! Every pension scheme in the Uk will get a battering over next few weeks.. but this is actually a really good thing 😀

and more than half the morons in the UK chose that.

Actually - just over a third of the electorate chose this new direction for the whole country.
