Haven't been paying attention but why do people in the UK want to leave the EU and what are the consequences? Any pros?

Has Jeremy Clarkson weighed in on all of this?
Unfortunate weather, but people must understand this is extremely important decision for this country.

Us leaving the EU would be idiotic, yes.
But you lot making Donald Trump the most powerful man on the earth is much worse.

They're stalks, not sticks! Smh
A mixture of racism, ignorance, and spite
Why should we sugar coat it? There were no good reasons to vote Leave.

There is no London result. It'll be a lot of results from London.
So as an American who's central experience with Brexit is the NPR report with Robert Seagull (hahah... I kill myself)...
Would people here equate the Donald Trump movement with the Leave movement? Isolationism, nationalism, etc?
We were talking about this at the lunch table, and I was just curious.

Everyone talking about Remain using MI5 to change votes, but no one is talking about Boris Johnson using his weather machine to flood London to stop voters!

Not an excuse, my 45 minute journey took me 3.5 hours instead, on a hot, humid, sweaty bus no less, but I still managed to vote later on.

I'm finding some of the panicked reactions in this thread quite amusing to read. Could it be this is the first time a slice of the young, University-educated GAFers in decent white collar jobs are seeing what the lower class really thinks?
It's easy to call people racist or xenophobic, but your opinion might change if you lived in an area that over the past couple of decades has gone from just mixed working class to seeing women every day in the full veil and hearing any language but English spoken in your local supermarket, plus jobs decimated and local community areas reduced to a string of betting shops. I think these people have real concerns, confusion and fears that aren't being addressed - they're making connections between what's happening on the news and to the economy and what they see in their daily lives. It's shit-heads like Farage, the Daily Mail etc who swoop in and exploit those concerns for their own agendas.
Do you blame the "plebs" for voting leave, or do you blame the government for willfully neglecting the people at the ever-growing bottom of society and the tabloid rags for taking advantage of their insecurities.

That is the general opinion, yes.
Have you considered that rhetoric like yours may be a large part of the reason why so many people voted leave?

Are the results binding if Leave carries the day?
Boris Johnson is a wannabe Trump that's been fired as a journalist for making up quotes.

This guy tim has a dodgy biography https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Montgomerie
Well, I do have visa-free travel because I am a US citizen. I just liked using my UK passport to go through the far shorter EU member immigration lines when visiting Europe.

London has MILLIONS of people who are likely left leaning, and/or immigrants. It is majority non-white. These people will carry remain way past the finish line to over 5 points spread.

Thanks to all of the immigration issues in the news over the last few years the racists now believe that the wogs really do begin at Calais.

Voting for something stupid because somebody said you were stupid to consider voting for it is EVEN STUPIDER.
