[SuperSah]

London's own areas cannot catch up.

But really, we are only half way!

 

[Aureon]

Any news calling it yet? At 600k down, all of Scotland reported in.. it's gone.

 

[Yoda]

Remain is going to need a miracle to come back.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

No way is remain coming back

 

[2MF]

That doesn't make much sense... They won't owe the uk anything. In fact, they have an incentive to punish as harshly as civility permits to maintain internal cohesion. The U.K. Is now a foreign country, not at the table anymore and has to come negotiating like every other country. The terms are unlikely to be as nice as they are for the Swiss, Norwegians and such.

The U.K. had an opportunity to play a major role. Now it's just a minor player surrounded by big dogs.

I'd rather the EU makes improvements to make it more attractive to stay, than use the threat of punishment as an incentive...

 

[Drencrom]

RIP UK

 

[pigeon]

The financial systems are still globally linked, London is still the financial capital of the world

For the next eight hours or so.

That's kind of the thing about a globally linked international banking system, it turns out you can pretty much put the buildings anywhere and things mostly work the same.

WALES: SOS! HELP! CAN ANYONE HEAR US? PLEASE RESPOND!

EU: What seems to be the problem?

WALES: THERE'S A COCKING DRAGON AND ITS BURNING EVERYONE ALIVE! HELP!

EU: As one of our many contributions to your great nation, we installed expensive sonar equipment that kept the red winged menace trapped deep within the bowels of the Earth and dormant. You chose to abandon that program on June 23rd 2016. Our technicians inform us that without regular upkeep and costly crystarium ore fuel the Anti-Dragon machines would fail within the year. We wish you all the best.

WALES: FFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Beautiful.

Fuck Wales.

So does this mean better rates on GBP in the Steam Summer Sale?

[VendettaRed07]

So Donald Trump's going to be in UK soon, right?

That's...gonna be interesting.

He is visiting his Golf courses in Scotland.

He'll likely be booed out of there though. He should go south and get a heroes welcome

 

[Madness]

No way is remain coming back

It is over. No way Remain catches up from this. The UK is leaving the European Union.

 

[Mrbob]

DOW is now down about 500 points in the futures. I'm gonna be doing some buying tomorrow after people overreact by panic selling.

 

[plagiarize]

Any news calling it yet? At 600k down, all of Scotland reported in.. it's gone.

No one calling it yet, but it sure looks like Leave has it.

 

[Mr Cola]

At this rate they might call it within the next two hours

 

[SaviourMK2]

What are the odds this'll lead to WW3 (Not to be paranoid, just curious) in Europe?

 

[Kimawolf]

Will this begin a domino affect? Aren't a few other EU countries watching how this plays out?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

US stock futures are down SHARPLY. This is a fucking disaster.

 

[Tak3n]

Spare a feeling for poor Nigel, he is the only politician who looks to be out of a job

 

[mrboo001]

A really, really dumb question:

Could the UK join NAFTA if they leave the EU?

 

[Sinfamy]

The EU should have had it's members vote and participate in a democratic system.
It would have prevented this.

 

[Erevador]

God knows if I'm right on this, but it is where my instincts are leading me. We'll see if I'm totally wrong.

Leave: 52%
Remain: 48%

Turnout: 71%

Current results are quite in line with my predictions, at least for now...

 

[Nielm]

A 500,000 lead for Leave..

 

[Kusagari]

Ya'll ready for the global recession in October that swoops Trump to victory?

 

[Tallshortman]

How many of the leave politicians wanted Scotland to remain? Seems like this could definitely lead to another referendum which would result in separation.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

It's not.

UKIP is not racist at all.

 

[LJ11]

Stock markets have surged since Monday along with the pound and volatility diminished. Markets always know their shit. Remain camp will win.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Hazzuh]

What are the odds this'll lead to WW3 (Not to be paranoid, just curious) in Europe?

What reason would anyone have to go to war over this..?

 

[Jezbollah]

So does this mean better rates on GBP in the Steam Summer Sale?
#itsimportant

It means buy all the games now because they'll be £99.99 each next week.

 

[rodvik]

"I want my country back", what the fuck does that even mean? It basically translates to "I want everyone in Britian to be British!"

It's just racism.

No it is not. It means they want full sovereignty of the country and feel joining the EU was a mistake from the start.

Projecting Leave voters as all racists has not been very effective during the campaign, its not going to be helpful afterwards either. Particularly if they are the majority.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

So does this mean better rates on GBP in the Steam Summer Sale?
#itsimportant

It means buy now before they double their prices in pounds.

 

[jem0208]

Beautiful.

Fuck Wales.

I'm Welsh (kinda) and I say fuck em too.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

What are the odds this'll lead to WW3 (Not to be paranoid, just curious) in Europe?

Pretty much zero.

 

[Mr Git]

So Donald Trump's going to be in UK soon, right?

That's...gonna be interesting.

"I love the UK he's a good guy"

 

[Hagi]

Not for lack of trying on my part, I apparently converted two friends to 'leave'

Don't worry looks like you'll have another chance to convince them to leave something else

 

[Duffman]

What are the odds this'll lead to WW3 (Not to be paranoid, just curious) in Europe?

lol

 

[Faustek]

On the plus side, we won't have the massive USK ratings ruining our game artworks now, right?!

hahaha, you really had to look hard to find that plus.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

So since we're about to leave the EU, wtf do I do if my GF can't get her rather important medication? What if we can't get trade from the required countries? The fact this is even a concern is fucking ridiculous. Ashamed of this country.

 

[Cromwell]

I am honestly proud of my fellow peeps in the UK. I was a leave voter but I was fully expecting remain to win. I honestly did not think this country had any fucking balls left to vote for leave. I am so glad they have found the balls to do this.

On another note god I would love to see Davey Camerons fucking face right now.

When the economy goes to shit and the racists/bigots/idiots are empowered, don't come crying to anyone. It's on you.

 

[User1608]

Ya'll ready for the global recession in October that swoops Trump to victory?

I'm sure he'll botch that opportunity too.

 

[Gandalf]

Hackney took a 100k chunk out of the lead... but the leave wins keep rolling in.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Ya'll ready for the global recession in October that swoops Trump to victory?

We can blame the lads on the other side of the pond for our problems one more time!

 

[Psychotext]

When other countries take control of their destiny it's a laudable thing. When we do it, it's "get fucked". Charming.

I'm a Brit, and this is a huge mistake.

 

[Alienous]

A 500,000 lead for Leave..

You porked it, David. You porked it.

 

[tomtom94]

I will always be British. Never English. Not after this.

 

[painey]

there's gunna be a lot of pissed off 'Leavers' who just found out their summer trips to Ibiza just got a shit ton more expensive

 

[Spaghetti]

Just checked the results for my area.


Wolverhampton

37.43% Remain

62.57% Leave

Yikes. Expected a diverse city like that to vote Remain.

 

[Gallbaro]

I gotta think the moaning and wailing is a bit overdone.

Last time i visited the UK I couldn't spend Euros, had to go through passport control, and so on and so forth. Whatever the UK re-negotiate regarding free trade agreements etc with the mainland are not going to contain special "punishment-you-left" clauses. The financial systems are still globally linked, London is still the financial capital of the world and I'm damn sure it is going to save its own skin. Some people are talking as though england is migrating to the moon or something.

It has been trading back and forth with NYC since WWI, but it is certainly over now.

 

[KingBroly]

A really, really dumb question:

Could the UK join NAFTA if they leave the EU?

NAFTA is a free trade agreement.

It's also CAFTA now (we added Central America)

 

[Africanus]

Recession Recession go away, come again another day.

 

[Matush]

I have no words

I feel very badly for my UK friends who will be impacted by this vote.
