Sucks too see the pound dropping for people in the UK

But as a fan of many bands from there I can't wait to buy cheaper hoodies

What the fuck are you doing?!

[ahoyhoy]

Am I wrong to wonder why this was put to a democratic vote in the first place? Why would they expect everyone to know the economic intricacies of leaving the European Union?

Because the UK is not a technocracy?

They clearly learned from the best!

Sky News suggesting Cameron may resign Friday and call election

That would be hilarious, but unlikely.

 

[B-Dubs]

Lol what

Been rumblings about this happening for a week or two now. He's looking down the barrel of a revolt in his own party if he loses this referendum.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Holy shit.

Wow

 

[2MF]

What are the chances we get a 'better deal' from the EU and end up staying in?

Wouldn't that require another referendum?

 

[Fergie]

What is the royal family opinion on this, leave or Remain. Probably remain i would guess

Probably leave but they remain hushed.

 

[Scottish Sin]

I'm fucking still seething at Nigel's "Victory without firing a single bullet" comment.

Cunt.

 

[greatgeek]

I hope that if Britain/EU economy takes a hit it will help to discredit Trump's protectionist bullshit.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

"not a single bullet being fired"

what a fucking disgrace speaking that erroneous disrespectful bullshit.

Jo Cox was murdered a week ago

 

[Kthulhu]

Makes me want to give the US Constitution a big ol' hug.

"Insert BioShock Infinite meme here"

 

[Black Republican]

It's an inevitability if Brexit happens. That and Scotland Referendum 2 Electric Boogaloo leaves the UK as England, Wales, and the smaller islands.

our beautiful family is breaking up man

 

[KingBroly]

Makes me want to give the US Constitution a big ol' hug.

Even if it was based on province/area/state, I feel like Leave still would've won this.

 

[Randomizer]

This is a glorious train wreck.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Holy shit.

He's flat out right.

people already have voted to leave, there are going to be riots if the result isn't going to be respected

[Crashdown]

Well, let's not get carried away...

 

[SuperSah]

Lessen to be learned also: stop listening to polls. They've been so backwards these past two years.

However, we are still a long ways away so I'd not worry too much just yet.

[-Plasma Reus-]

The only way for Cameron to fix the country is to overturn the referendum and resign

 

[pgtl_10]

Is that lady giving the old man a hand job or blow job?

 

[Baybars]

I'm fucking still seething at Nigel's "Victory without firing a single bullet" comment.

Cunt.

An Mp just died a few days ago because of this. The guy literally has no shame

 

[Don'tBeWeird]

Have you been to Salford? No joke. I believe they elected BNP members of parliament before. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I went to The University of Salford!

 

[DoomGyver]

As someone from the US, I know only a bit of what's going on over there. Does this gif sum it up?

Bad news unusually comes in three.. Clinton vs. Trump in November.

 

[Beefy]

So leave EU.
Tories ripping themselves apart
Labour ripping themselves apart
General Election?

UKIP win?

Spoiler

Feel sick

 

[Kuga]

That's democracy. It doesn't exist to ensure the best decision is made - only that the people can participate.

 

[AuthenticM]

Holy shit.

amazing. The UK is disappearing.

 

[Honey Bunny]

Pound at its lowest value since 1985.

But don't worry we've taken back control.

You're saying this sarcastically? I agree with it.

 

[Audioboxer]

I'm fucking still seething at Nigel's "Victory without firing a single bullet" comment.

Fucking Trump style bullshit.

Jo Cox for fuck sake.

 

[tomtom94]

You know what I reckon Hilton might have swung it with his nonsense about the PM's migration target being impossible at the weekend.

We have no fucking idea.

[Salty Rice]

They should do a calamity cry and elect Gordon Ramsay as their Prime Supreme Chancellor of the United Water Island Kingdoms if the the Brexit really happens.

 

[Crisco]

Awesome, time to take a cheap trip to London. Last time I was there shit was expensive as fuck. Now it'll be like visiting central America.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

delta says no, Leave is going to win this

Holy shit, legit stunned if so.

See the pound is suitably down the shitter already. Guess I won't be getting that mortgage.

 

[El Topo]

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to get a rough idea.

 

[Uzzy]

The markets are very confident in a remain win. Nigel Farage thinks remain have the edge.

It will be remain. Would be the greatest election upset of all time if remain win at this point I.e following closing of the polls.

Is it too early to quote this?

 

[Hazzuh]

Yup. And several people in this thread are a part of it. Burned down their own country out of ignorance, and all they can think to say is "stop being mean to us" as if what they're doing isn't FAR fucking worse than some mean words being thrown around. The cognitive dissonance is staggering.

It's about trying to understand why people voted like this. In a democracy you can't say that 50+% of the people are just feckless idiots who can't be reasoned with because then you'll never be able to accomplish anything!

 

[Faynwulf]

Looks like Scotland will become independent. I wonder what's gonna happen to Northern-Ireland.

 

[Briarios]

This is like watching a disaster occur in slow motion. I'll bet anything when all the shit hits the fan and the economy crashes, the idiots who voted for this point fingers everywhere except themselves. Basically, the vast majority of economists, financial organizations, governments, everyone has called out what will happen ... but, like ostriches, the scared little kids put their heads in the ground and ignored the data and, instead, responded on a purely emotional level. There is no rational, data driven reason for leave.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Brit-GAF, hop across the pond.

We have better food, we're not going to elect Trump, and we have the better football.

We are a nation of immigrants, a nation of people who sought out a better life for themselves.

You can be part of it.

P.S. We also have better beer.

 

[2MF]

Am I wrong to wonder why this was put to a democratic vote in the first place? Why would they expect everyone to know the economic intricacies of leaving the European Union?

You could say that about any election. In fact most elections are harder to decide than this, since you don't even know which, if any, promises a politician will keep. At least on this one you know one thing - it looks like the UK will leave the EU.

 

[Mrbob]

As someone from the US, I know only a bit of what's going on over there. Does this gif sum it up?

Bad news unusually comes in three.. Clinton vs. Trump in November.

The only way Trump is winning is if Hillary somehow gets indicted.

 

[Makabe]

people already have voted to leave, there are going to be riots if the result isn't going to be respected

But if I understand things right, Article 50 means we have 2 years to negotiate things right? In that time, people probably won't be so riled up about the situation as they are now. Not wanting such a finicky situation, just wondering.

 

[ZombieFred]

I am crying right now

 

[Aureon]

Shoutout to Oxford and Cambridge - >70 >70 both.
For EU gaffers, amazon.co.uk should be a great deal.. for a while.

GBP/USD down some 10%, GBP/Yen 15%, GBP/Gold (lol who cares ) 14%
GBP/EUR 7%, GBP/Oil 4%

He's only going to get worse.
