Support NeoGAF

[SuperSah]

Our currency is weaker than money from Zimbabwe.

Yes, really.

 

[Chille]

Omg Suzanne Evans (UKIPer) just claimed on Radio 4 the markets are crashing due to project fear and government propaganda.

She also talked loyalty to your country and the markets should show some.

What a mad fucking loony moron.

Sounds like something from this episode

[Rich!]

What gay marriage vote in 2012? If it were up to democracy, 80% of states would still be against it.

What about segregation?

States?! What the hell are you on about?

We are talking about the UK here, jesus.

 

[chromatic9]

GTR Manchester areas

Stockport remain 52%
Salford leave 56%

Manchester centre and Stockport, the two more well off areas vote remain.

 

[Tak3n]

Hold on, why are all the remain camp rolling out the same crap....we have to realise 49 percent of people have voted to not leave, and we have to think of them....

So,if they won by 2 percent would they be sayin 49 percent of people want to leave the eu so we have to think of them.......would they bollocks

 

[wishdom]

It's what people on either side of the fence thinks about these people. Leave voters basically trust no one.



At this point you might as well let UK burn to the ground to serve as an example. Fucking people, man.

Thanks for the clarification, that's certainly is a bit disconcerting.

 

[FelixOrion]

Our currency is weaker than money from Zimbabwe.

Yes, really.

OUCH

 

[Dead Man]

Jesus Britain. Condolences. This is going to make your racist right wingers very bloody bold if nothing else. I just can't understand the rationale for leaving. Good luck all.

 

[Heavy_D206]

How do I make some money off this?

Gold seems to be doing great!

 

[Aureon]

If electronics gets updated for the new exchange, expect Japanese electronics (and games) to jump 20%.
Yeah, GBP:JPY lost 18% in seven hours.

 

[rodvik]

Brexit makes a united Ireland more likely that ever though, I'm sure the rest of the UK would actually be quite happy to see the back of us, as we cost significantly more than we give back. :/

I dunno, this whole thing from my perspective in Belfast, it seems like nobody has a clue how it will work for us. Any question about the border is met with "err well we don't know really. Hopefully we can sort that out."

The UK / Republic open border & Common Travel Area agreements are not related to the EU.

There is zero chance of watch towers or checkpoints coming back. In large part incidentally because the people were trusted in a direct vote just like this one.

 

[Hazzuh]

I don't see NI leaving at all, especially considering how much NI is subsidised by Westminster.

 

[cdyhybrid]

For this one day America didn't make the dumb decision. Feels good. Sorry BritGAF.

Only because our decision hasn't come up yet. We can't let Trump win. We have to crush him.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Why would UKIP even need to exist after this?

As long as there's non-white people in the UK, barely-disguised racists like UKIP will exist.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

FFS went to sleep safe in the knowledge remain would win and woke up to find us 600000 behind. England......wtf are you doing?!? You believed Farage, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove over the experts? FFS

The sun > your experts.

 

[zsynqx]

what are the pro leave camp saying about the GBP freefall?

"What's a GBP?"

Okay sorry, that's probably too much. The leaders are probably ignoring it atm.

 

[eyeball_kid]

Definitely

Scotland break up is as sad as the EU break up. Oh well.

As a non-Brit, I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Did Scotland have a second referendum on the ballot on whether to stay in the U.K.?

 

[smokeandmirrors]

All UK gaf who wants out should come to America. We'll welcome you and we're not as dumb as the place you're leaving any more!

 

[Krejlooc]

is scotland going to leave the UK and join europe?

is this potentially the end of the UK?

 

[Randomizer]

this is going to end up in the dissolution of the United Kingdom. I can't see it any other way.

Oh the irony.

 

[tomtom94]

Douglas Carswell is going to be livid, he knew this was his chance to get rid of Farage.

 

[oatmeal]

700K up now

 

[NeOak]

There'll be wild swings for a few days, there'll be a lot of poorer rich people come morning when the markets crash 10% on opening.

Swings?

Has there been something like this in history? Mind you, there isn't a war or anything.

 

[>-Baron-Spamedi-<]

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.

Nah. Fassbender for Supreme Chancellor and McAvoy for Deputy.

 

[Timbuktu]

Nonsense. This will surely have economic and political repercussions, but it's not the end of the UK, it's not the end of the EU, it's not the end of the world.

Now, if Trump wins, then we're talking. Until then? Nah.

NI and Scotland will push to leave the UK. Wales and England don't make up very much of a United Kingdom.

 

[31GhostsIV]

I feel sick, hopefully the morons voting for leave have a plan to get us out of the financial quandary we're going to be/are quite possIbly already in.

Oh, and well done for giving Murdoch what he wants.

 

[plagiarize]

Cameron has to think about the future of the UK right. Cancel this ref. Resign!

Then what? Ignore this, and then what? You've just ignored democracy. The voters would rebel. It wouldn't be good. The UK will still end up leaving soon enough.

This is not the best way forwards.

 

[BlastProcessing]

You guys who claim that this will have awful consequences, how do you explain that Switzerland does just fine?

I have no dog in this, I'm just asking.

The market hates uncertainty. That's actually why Switzerland has always done fine. They are predictable and dependable. This will create years of massive uncertainty. That's bad.

If you are a large company looking to invest anywhere in the EU, it's going to be prudent to just stand back until the dust settles. That means less investment, which means recession, which starts a very negative cycle.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

My friend has Tourette's now.

She's screaming lots of swears.

 

[Baybars]

Scotland and NI deserve to leave. Why should they tie themselves to the boneheaded decision by the fools in england and wales?

If it does happen, cameron will go down in history as the man who broke the united kingdom

 

[MassiveNights]

AmericaGAF checking in.

How quickly can Scotland move to leave the UK?

Is there a way for London to leave the UK?

It's complicated because the SNP don't have a majority in the Scottish parliament and arguably don't have the mandate to trigger another Scottish referendum.

But there will be a new groundswell for independence by the general public here now and the SNP will be open to it.

I don't know how it happens. We might have to wait quite a while.

It could become less about politics and more about the legal status of Scotland and the EU. Do we have a right to remain part of it?

 

[firehawk12]

As long as there's non-white people in the UK, there's a place for barely-disguised racists like UKIP.

Pretty much.

 

[Zackat]

It keeps going dooooooowwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnn

where can I get the direct feed on this?

 

[B-Dubs]

is scottland going to leave the UK and join europe?

is this potentially the end of the UK?

If most of Scotland goes for remain and the UK leaves, odds are they'll push for another referendum on independence.

 

[ZombieFred]

OVER 700K AND IT'S NOT EVEN ITS FINAL FORM!

 

[Honey Bunny]

Where did you read that?

Remain won according to Birmingham Mail.

On Sky news just now. Also saying Wales have voted leave.

I haven't followed this at all, I just expected us to remain. Pretty happy rn but it's not over yet.

 

[Staccat0]

is scottland going to leave the UK and join europe?

is this potentially the end of the UK?

Scotland should join the US. Pull a double heel turn.

 

[Audioboxer]

Doesn't Birmingham have the highest amount of immigrants in the UK?! If so shit what a loss.

 

[RK9039]

is scotland going to leave the UK and join europe?

is this potentially the end of the UK?

Yes, even NI is saying the same thing.

 

[kavanf1]

what are the pro leave camp saying about the GBP freefall?

Given they've demonstrated they're economically clueless, I don't think it matters very much to them that they've fucked us all for years to come.

 

[weekev]

with near worthless oil and having to join the euro

And we'll still be better of than the rest of the UK.

 

[Tak3n]

You remain guys dared to question the Sun....they always choose the winning side

 

[FuturusX]

I think we can agree on one thing, whether you supported leave or remain. Seeing Nigel Farage delivering a victory speech is a dark day for the UK.

 

[Oregano]

I'm fucking ashamed on my home city of Salford right now. Fucking useless.

 

[Kurdel]

Might as well run full speed towards that darkest timeline.

Come to Canada, things are slowly getting better over here!

 

[Steel]

So.... Bets on the next country to leave the EU now that there's a precedent?

My money's on France.

 

[darkwing]

How do I make some money off this?

buying low, selling high?

 

[Opto]

Give it a few decades and a man in a mask might help england get to.... anarchy


hm

 

[Grug]

What else can you say but "you ****ing stupid twats!"

 

[Yaboosh]

Who profits off of this result?
