Support NeoGAF

[blastprocessor]

We have changed history.

 

[weekev]

So our jobs are now seriously on the line, it's likely Boris Johnson will be running the country, our economy will be in the toilet which means that when a lot of us lose our jobs there will be none to turn to. Many of.our friends will have to leave.the count R y and head home and we will have the Tory idiots writing our laws for human rights?

Thanks England, you really fucked us good.

 

[darkwing]

so what happens now, do we stay in the EU for the next 2 years while negotiations are made?

looks like it

 

[Audioboxer]

Well that's it. The dream is dead. Time to renounce my English ancestry and go full Scottish. The one ray of sunshine is that when the flakey periphery of the EU drops away, perhaps the core can band together and take a new, more focussed and more centralised approach to European Unification.

I hope Scottish Indyref 2 happens asap and they extricate themselves from the UK.

We welcome all English unhappy with this with open arms.

Welsh, maybe, but you guys really let us down.

 

[Samaritan]

Condolences to UK-GAF from the US. :|

 

[Machina]

If I could bring a bit of dark humor into it, if any of the European countries still have any old grudges against Britain, I guess now is the time to cash in those chips lol

 

[Miletius]

Wow. I can't believe this actually happened. I'm sorry to hear it.

 

[Mr. RPG]

When does Scotland leave the UK and rejoin the EU?

Scotland should certainly vote on it.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Congrats on fucking up your country and economy, you idiot fucking racist leavers.

#NotALLRacist

The economy! I mean look how well it's doing already!!!

 

[BlueTsunami]

John Oliver's next show is gonna be epic, or the one after the one coming up

 

[BadHand]

UN FUCKING BELIEVABLE!!!!!

My company is leaving the UK now

My dads small company, which is 90% reliant on EU trading, and already teetering on the edge of collapse... is now fucked.

Him and the partners were working so hard to turn things around

He's asleep now, but will be heartbroken in the morning.

Global markets were shaken to their core early Friday morning as the running total of votes in the Brexit referendum put the “leave” campaign in the lead.

The Brexiteers were ahead with 51.5% of the votes versus 48.5% for the “remain” side, with 289 out of 382 counting areas having declared results, according to the Sky News results tracker.

Here are some of the biggest market moves:

- The pound slid below $1.35 for the first time since 1985

- Futures for the FTSE 100 sank 7.5% to 5,810

- Futures for U.S. stocks were also sharply lower, with those for the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 487 points, or 2.7%, at 17,425

So, I was planning a trip to New York in a months time, but hadn't booked the tickets yet. Is the pound dropping going to fuck over the prices/make it more expensive?

You just lost 14%(and counting) of the money you'd spend there.

 

[HeliosT10]

Going to the US in a week for a two week holiday, been saving up for months and didn't get a chance to change my money today because of the queues

 

[eXtv]

I feel like some Brits may have voted leave out of pure morbid curiosity of what the consequence would be if they did leave. Wonder if people in the US will vote Trump under similar pretenses.

The desire to make a change in any way is a strong one.

 

[linkandzelda]

Devastated. At least I'm still eligible for EU citizenship through my Irish grandfather. But the EU is looking to be increasingly nationalistic. I hope this doesn't cause the EU to collapse.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Does this mean Canada can detach itself from the Americas and stick itself to the UK?

If Canada wants to attach itself to a racist, xenophobic UK I'd say it's time to pick up a 51st state.

 

[Sickboy007]

Cameron just lost half of his country and possibly crippled the most successful peace project in history.

What a legacy.

 

[Silphonica]

looks like it

So i can move somewhere in that time and start a life elsewhere?

 

[gollumsluvslave]

The latest map

If that is not a Mandate for Indy Ref 2 I don't know what is.

 

[Zackat]

 

[Madness]

I bet all those Scotland voters who decided to stay with the UK only to vote Remain are now kicking themselves. Had they voted to leave the UK they could have stayed with the EU.

 

[Jezbollah]

why

It's pretty obvious. There will be hundreds of companies moving their headquarters to cities like Frankfurt to remain in the EU. It will lead to the loss of thousands of jobs.

 

[Uzzy]

so what happens now, do we stay in the EU for the next 2 years while negotiations are made?

The 2 years only start when Article 50 is invoked. It'd be madness to invoke that any time soon.

 

[Sesuadra]

Wow pound plummeting even faster, preparing popcorn.

Well I'll gonna order some stuff from Amazon uk later.

But honestly, this is a dark timeline. The next view months will be "interesting"..unbelievable that so many people don't understand why we need the EU

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Good luck UK-GAF. Cameron should resign.

 

[thatdamnmook]

Chuka is absolutely fuming

 

[Cromwell]

GBP to USD is now 10.49% down, holy shit.

 

[Kaban]

Guess I'm rooting for Iceland now. And I'm British.

 

[lastplayed]

I feel sorry for all the Brits comfortably living in Europe and vice versa. Uncertain times ahead.

 

[DrForester]

John Oliver's next show is gonna be epic, or the one after the one coming up

Less epic, more incredibly depressing.

Sorry man, that will cost ya D:

[pestul]

I hope Scotland leaves and takes all that juicy natural resource money with it.. because that's what is next.

 

[Lima]

Yo Trump will win now. I want to see the whole world burn.

 

[iammeiam]

I work for a US based financial services company with a pretty hefty UK presence.

Tomorrow is going to be batshit crazy; I worry for our London office.

 

[Dennis]

I was pretty sure it would be a small Stay so I am quite surprised.

 

[Phased]

Sorry to everyone who just saw their job ending in the near(ish) future.

Isolationism benefits nobody.

 

[SteveO409]

this has to be the most bizarre year in my lifetime. holy crap

 

[brochiller]

If Canada wants to attach itself to a racist, xenophobic UK I'd say it's time to pick up a 51st state.

As long as America makes a better decision in November than the UK did today.

 

[eXtv]

My dads small company, which is 90% reliant on EU trading, and already teetering on the edge of collapse... is now fucked.

Him and the partners were working so hard to turn things around

He's asleep now, but will be heartbroken in the morning.

My parents run a business that is fortunately manage-ably small and UK-centric in who it works with/for. Still scares the shit out of me, I'm worrying to death.

 

[PeskyToaster]

Come to the US remainers! Help us fend off Trump.

 

[darkwing]

condolences, with people flocking to change GBP I imagine it will go down lower

Brexit: economic equivalent of quitting your job b/c you think you can get it back minus the parts you don’t like

 

[Almighty]

Well I am a little shocked it turned out this way. Granted I live in the US, so haven't been following it closely, but I was thinking remain would win out.

 

[moai]

Thanks a lot uk, the price of copper will now plummet.

 

[kgtrep]

Another condolences from a US-GAF.

 

[trh]

It sure was a weird night watching the UK douse itself in gasoline and walk into a fire. Goodnight.

 

[Darrenf]

As an Irish person I can't believe it. Quite scared for the future.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

So basically fuck England and Wales?

I'm moving to Scotland.

Wales voted with England mate
