BBC map looks like a game of splatoon

You mean it's the Splatfest! Leave vs Stay. Hope you backed the right sister

 

[Grover Cleveland]

So what country will get a exit vote next?

Scotland. From the UK

If you mean a country leaving the EU again, I think the EU will do everything in their power to make sure that what's about to happen to the UK serves as a warning to any other countries trying to leave.

 

[RK9039]

Hackney I love you.

 

[Lime]

UK you're so fucked.

Good luck with the shitty economy. I wonder who will be blamed in five years. My bet is on the brown people and Eastern Europeans. It fits the currents of racism in Europe anyway.

My heart goes out to everyone affected by this shit. I don't know what to say

 

[SuperSah]

It seems like we're going to leave the European Union doesn't it?

 

[2MF]

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.

I highly doubt you'll have a problem getting medication because of this. And even if you did, it wouldn't be tomorrow or anytime soon.

Stop acting like the sky is falling people. The UK will still be in the EU tomorrow!

Edit: Double post

 

[Goodstyle]

What a fucking embarrassment. If there's one silver lining in this, the coming disaster in Britain will be a global example of why you should never hand the reigns over to far-right knuckledraggers that think campaigning on fear and racism is OK.

 

[jellies_two]

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.

I don't agree. The buildings need to be in the right time zone, with the right legal system, and the right language spoken and there aren't any obvious alternatives.
Bankers also love London and not because its part of the EU but because it is London. It totally isn't clear to me, given that exit is a two year process, why anything can be stated for sure regarding the future of London as a financial capital, let alone anything like "in eight hours".

 

[Geminosity]

So what country will get a exit vote next?

I believe France, Czechoslovakia and Denmark were eyeing the prospect, though I think denmark's minister recently said 'nope' so maybe not them.

 

[cdyhybrid]

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

"Look at my Briton over here. Look at him. You're behaving, aren't you?"

 

[Yoda]

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.

Those of us on Wall St. beg to differ The financial markets always over-react, it'll be volatile for a week or two but everyone will get over it by then.

 

[Aureon]

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

The UK didn't take the instability it'd cause to the EU much into account, and i severely doubt the EU is going to overlook that.
You wanna take down the union for (completely theoretical) benefit, the union is very likely to take every scrip of vengeance it can without hurting itself.

LSE stock not giving a shit for now, but that's likely because it's closed. It was down 30% when Leave was last posed to win

 

[mulac]

F** - just realized my UK passport is up for renewal end of this year...

 

[maquiladora]

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

Zero. But the odds of Scotland becoming independent will be close to 100%.

 

[Mrbob]

For those in the USA CNBC is going to start coverage at 11PM EST. I'll probably switch over just for Kelly Evans.

 

[Tak3n]

Mood has now turned to Manchester, all up to them now

 

[Black Republican]

Brap brap.

where u at?

east end fam

Still waiting though.

still waiting for my votes to show up, probably remain

 

[Scottish Sin]

Heh, well, here's hoping no matter the result it's ultimately a brighter future for us, even if the short term might be a lil scary :3

Aye, here's hoping bud.

 

[El Topo]

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

About as high as the chance that a supermodel knocks on my door right now and begs me to teach her the intricacies of making love.

 

[skypunch]

It's not.

Then what is it? Britain is still here, immigrants don't make it any less British or whatever. People just want something to moan about and blame, and the easiest thing to point at are immigrants. Immigrants are the catchy hook here. Absolute dumb fucks. Patriotism can do one.

 

[Fergie]

So an election after this? Tons of MP's wanted remain.

 

[Stinkles]

Zero. But the odds of Scotland becoming independent will be close to 100%.

Awww yiss.

 

[BlastProcessing]

This is about nationalism and border protectionism. Which I believe is the same with Trumps campaign. The difference being that the demographics in the UK still favour the nationalist side of the equation.

Is Nationalism/isolationalism inherently racist? I believe many feel it is and many feel it is not which is why this is so close a race.

Yes Nationalism/isolationism is racist. Yes, many racists don't think that they are being racist.

 

[Übermatik]

We're fucked aren't we?

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

I live overseas. Nows the time to pay off my student loan debt, right?

 

[Stallion Dan]

Remain voters have turned sickeningly hostile.

 

[Aureon]

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

0%
WW3 isn't happening, there's nuclear weapons around.

 

[Daemul]

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

Nah fam, that won't happen. Even if it did the UK(or what remains of it at that point) will be too broke to take part anyway.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Well we done fucked it up.

Enjoy being poorer with zero plan after leaving.

 

[Audioboxer]

What numbers could London put out? It's millions isn't it?

I mean it's still totally possible for remain to do it?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

European stock futures are down 8%, good lord.

 

[Basileus777]

I believe France, Czechoslovakia and Denmark were eyeing the prospect, though I think denmark's minister recently said 'nope' so maybe not them.

Look forward to hearing about the Czechout.

European stock futures are down 8%, good lord.

Fuck.

 

[eyeball_kid]

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

Great job, Hackney. I had a lovely time there a couple years ago.

 

[plagiarize]

I don't think this will be the disaster everyone is fearing. But I do not like what my country look to have done. At all.

 

[Makabe]

This probably won't lead to WW3, but it may lead to political roughness between some EU countries which may lead to a lot more defensiveness and concern.

 

[ampere]

6 month low and a 6 month high in a day, LOL.

that is fucking insane.

God the GBP is volatile right now

 

[GhaleonEB]

I can't spitball too much from the US, but yikes, UK. Condolences.

 

[Geminosity]

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

considering how 'stay' scotland is, this kind of works out for pushing for a scottish referendum again so you might be right

 

[BigDes]

Well we're fucked by the looks of it.

When is the referendum to kick Wales out of the UK?

 

[Tak3n]

SLOUGH....seriously? Is there anyone English even living there?

 

[FuturusX]

London won't be enough methinks.

 

[Hazzuh]

Cameron is done. Corbyn is done.

 

[TheXbox]

You fucking goofed UK.

 

[Croyles]

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

What's truly charming is the constant us vs them mentality.

 

[jem0208]

Remain voters have turned sickeningly hostile.

That's because the leave voters are fucking it up for everyone.

 

[Audioboxer]

Well done Manchester.

 

[Interceptor]

So happy to see all the "but but racist" reactions. Gj britain.

 

[mrboo001]

NAFTA is a free trade agreement.

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

Ah that's right. Not nearly as involved as the EU. Thank you.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This is crazy to watch.
