Support NeoGAF

[painey]

I wish I could laugh at this

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

Cardiff VS the rest of Wales. Well, fine. We'll take our money and you can just get zero support from the EU anymore.

 

[Liberty4all]

... which is based on a fear of the other.

I disagree. It's more an argument of the value of nationalism/isolationalism more than anything else. But it's not an argument that can be debated fairly on GAF without getting called a racist.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Whole lot of people will lose their jobs

The value of the pound drops, pushing us deep into another recession. Generally increasing the cost of living.

Manufacturing industries will look to jump ship and set up elsewhere.

Goods that we import from the EU will rise in price even more without the trade deals in place.

So, nothing good and everything being worse off than before? Terrible. Maybe they can still review the situation and call another vote?

 

[Hazzuh]

David Davies talking about how everyone in favour of Leave is also a Unionist is absurd considering this will end the Union forever.

 

[Boy Wander]

Leave have gone odds on with the bookies for the first time.

 

[Kathian]

Great east been result - which Beeb would share numbers - percentages are useless.

 

[Arksy]

There is nothing positive I could ever say to you. In person I would be prone to immediate violence. This country is utterly fucked because of people like you.

You disagree politically so instead of peacefully resolving your political differences, such as a referendum....you would be prone to violence? Seriously?

 

[Audioboxer]

Fuck Salmond saying betting has swung to leave now. Uh oh.

 

[SuperSah]

Elena and Redcar is OUT.

 

[Mr Git]

Any recommended video livestreams? I'll fire up BBC if they've been half decent

also I like that this has turned into a livestream commentary thread. huge amount of interest

 

[haxamin]

Neoliberal austerity measures and unhinged capitalism fucking everyone over followed by racists and neo-nazi opportunists using inequality and "culture" to blame brown and black people

So where are does Priti Patel, or Nadhim Zahawi, or Naheed Majeed fall into all this?
Or are you all just going to continue to believe this is the result of neo-nazis?

 

[Gabriel_Logan]

Reading this is like reading what might happen with Trump in the States.

Sorry British GAF.

Except there is no chance of that happening unlike here lol.

 

[And_Gignac]

This!

All this mess is a major fuck up that goes beyond ideological lines.

 

[Geminosity]

How long after this vote does UK ACTUALLY leave the EU?

I keep hearing 1-2 years being thrown around.

To leave we have to enact article 50 of the lisbon treaty which gives us 2 years as a base. The EU can vote to extend it however. If 2 years pass and the EU don't have a majority vote to extend the period, the UK immediately stops being in the EU then and there.

edit: important to note that the 2 years start when we enact the article. We do not have to do so immediately and can hold out for a while to do some preliminary discussions/deals beforehand.

 

[Rich!]

fuck, I think Leave is going to win. Fuck this I'm going to bed.

How the fuck has this happened? Everyone on social media was all about remain I thought.

people that make a lot of noise online are rarely the majority.

2 years from when the exit button is pressed. When it gets pressed is up for debate.

 

[*Splinter]

Also receives hundreds of millions of £ from the EU.

Yes, but fuck all to do with the EU.

Oh I know. Not saying it's a smart vote, just an inevitable one.

@davidottewell
I agree it's too soon to call and we need London results. But if I were a betting man I'd be putting a lot of money on Leave

 

[Cromwell]

Dimbleby on BBC1.

 

[mackaveli]

Stock futures just getting killed at the moment. Www.investing.com.

 

[GazzaScotland]

Leave now favourite with a most of the bookies. Sterling crashing again.

 

[Kid Kamikaze10]

sorry I disagree.

I think this is very similar to what is happening in the States too with Trump.

... Which is also about racism and xenophobia, to a scary degree.

Cool, getting ready to splurge on amazon.co.uk.

Unless a certain country tanks the world economy before November...

 

[hohoXD123]

Decades of politicians scaremongering about the EU, blaming them for all lifes ills, blaming immigrants for causing massive strains on local resources and stealing jobs while living on benefits, decades of ignoring deprived communities and taking their votes for granted while sneering at any concerns and dismissing them as racist..

It's all coming back home to roost.

Funny how some of the same politicians who stoked the flames of hatred against migrants are the ones shouting for us to ignore the hatred against migrants and vote remain.

 

[Rellik]

Haha, touche. But no, Iceland has always been my dream place to live... One day, I'll make it there.

Iceland does look an amazing place.

 

[Tubie]

Why is this referendum even happening?

Who was the genius that thought this was a good idea?

 

[Lashley]

I can cash out on my leave bet for profit haha

 

[Yoda]

The pound is plummeting right now.

The prediction market(s) have flipped entirely too, but most likely it's just short sellers.

 

[Mr Cola]

Salmond cant lose either way, he either wins by remaining or wins by getting another referrendum

 

[Simply Sami]

This is depressing.

All the council estate benefits thieving voting to leave because they think think they been stopped getting a bigger house by foreigners.

Who do they blame when no longer in the EU?

The Scots?

You made the same mistake Bernie supporters made in the US it seems.

 

[haxamin]

Jesus christ guys the comparisons to trump is beyond ridiculous.

 

[dmr87]

Echo chamber.

 

[Tak3n]

HOLY FUCK

From 11/1 on betfair to Favourites. I am stunned

 

[VendettaRed07]

Oh my god this is seriously happening isn't

I'm so sorry

 

[kmag]

It's out the little englanders have had their day. At least we'll it the cord this time

 

[giant_frying_pan]

So, what is expected to be the most immediate change to life there if the outcome of the vote is to leave the EU? Higher cost of living across the board?

England get knocked out of Euro 2016.

 

[Kathian]

Also this is a terrible time for Trump to come to the UK. Why would he time it today?

 

[Boy Wander]

Off to bed. I work in IT at an investment bank. I have a feeling tomorrow might be interesting to say the least.

If only people in Syria had the same easiness with migrating

 

[Rush_Khan]

What is going on? I still think Remain will marginally win but Wales? Come on.

 

[Graphics Horse]
