[trh]

What an utterly idiotic thing to say. You want to ruin the lives off millions of people purely out of spite?

No, he wants the UK to be made an example of what happens when you employ a scorched earth strategy on your own soil. Deters others from doing the same.

 

[Flintty]

So Mr Jaunker

Next time we say we want a new deal, you will listen...

Let's not forget had Cameron's reform been anything offer that pathetic we would of probably voted to remain...the EU had a hand in this

This. Fucking this.

Rule Britannia!

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Could Scotland become independent and then rejoin the EU?

Some people on CNN already talking about it. Didn't get their titles, but seems like a real possibility. They voted to stay under the impression the UK would be in the EU.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I'm out to lunch and I can overhear this British dude on the phone and he's losing it. This currency thing seems to be screwing him big time.

Yup. The economy is crashing hard over there. Pretty fucking hard. And the thing is, it's at an insane pace. People don't have time to react to safeguard their money because it literally happened overnight.

This sucks. Alot. It sucks a fucking lot. And people are going to lose their jobs all around the country(And outside of the country as well.)

It sucks.

 

[mercenar1e]

Didn't think it would happen.

Ok this is great lol

BREAKING: Dutch Party for Freedom leader Geert Wilders calls for Dutch EU referendum after Brexit

[DjRalford]

So if Cameron resigns, does that mean we have to deal with Boris for a few years?

Not a fan of Cameron but he's better than that bumbling idiot.

If Cameron speaks and says he will stay and work on negotiations the markets will stabilise slightly, if he resigns it'll be worse than 2008

 

[Oriel]

So Scotland is told it needs to remain in the UK in order to stay in the EU and now they've been dumped out by England. Well done little Brexiters, you may just have destroyed the United Kingdom.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

How people can celebrate and wake up happy with the economy tanking is fucking beyond me.

Outright stupidity.

"WE DID IT" says the man who's arms and legs just fell off.

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

Looks like it's pretty much certain now. I'm going to bed. I'm going to be tired enough at work "tomorrow" as it is.

[Cromwell]

Congratz UK!

This is a joke post, right? Scotland voted to remain and is 100 percent guaranteed to split from the U.K. now.

 

[sikkinixx]

So England is safe from Muslims and polish people now right?

 

[BlastProcessing]

The movement is the same as after an apple announcement.

I don't think Apple announcements affect FOREX...

 

[Tyaren]

Congratz UK!

Wrong picture. Scotland is more europhile than ever and may even split with the UK in the near future. Oh, wait...the picture does actually fit perfectly. XD

 

[cirrhosis]

how the fuck must it feel for Cameron to know that he was so fucking stupid to put this to a simple vote and realize that he's utterly fucked the country

how do you live the rest of your life knowing that you were the cause of it all? gadzooks.

Feeling for you Remainers and ScotGAF. Really hoping you guys pull through this oncoming wave of shit.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

What the, I really don't think they would allow it to fall beyond 1.20, this is crazy

It's Euros, not $$.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Greeks not paying tax is Europeans fault?

All these privileges handled by Merkel so UK would stay in the EU failing, after being way less tolerant with a country with a 2% GDP EU debt over a pure political matter is music to my ears.

EU as a project is fatally wounded, and I'm rejoicing.

It has begun. The next global recession won't be caused by banks, but by idiotic voters.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Sometimes it feels like a panda could sneeze in China and people on this forum would be talking about what does this mean for Trump? He has become some kind of urban legend. The guy is in one of the worst positions a potential nominee has been in since Goldwater and everyone is so scared of him.

I mean, it does have parallels to this vote. Hyper nationalists win the day despite the outcome.

 

[plagiarize]

The short term worst of it is, all this uncertainty about what's going to happen isn't going to go away any time soon.

It's going to take ages before the details will be hashed out, of the leave, of any new trade agreements, etc etc. We're looking at months if not a year or more of uncertainty. That's before we find out the real details which could be better or worse than what's feared... but...

Yeah. Enjoy months of economic uncertainty. Have fun with that. Congrats Leave.

 

[Croatoan]

The unwashed masses literally don't know what's good for them a lot of the time, what is the country's best interest and how it should behave.

Yes, too much direct democracy can be bad. As shown by this very thread.

Wow, how high is that horse you are on?

 

[Peléo]

As an international student studying in London, I now have even less idea about my future.

 

[rodvik]

Scotland can apparently trigger something that would delay Brexit for 10 years if we don't get a referendum. Something to do with us voting to stay in the UK guaranteeing us staying in Europe.

I think anyway.

First I have heard of it. I guess we will find out.

 

[NeOak]

What the, I really don't think they would allow it to fall beyond 1.20, this is crazy

Damn.

It's getting there!

 

[danowat]

So England is safe from Muslims and polish people now right?

Wouldn't most Muslims be happy considering the EU's potential legislation against them?

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Hope you're all looking forward to Trumps speech later today.

 

[Tak3n]

My wife's prediction

Election called, Labour get into power by the 48 percent who want to remain, chaos ensues

 

[QuicheFontaine]

I still can't believe we did it, in the face of all the threats from Juncker et al, our own Chancellors punishment budget, WW3 omens. So proud of the people on these islands right now. Rule Britannia!

 

[Link]

Or maybe they're more politically active voters and workers, with more experience, who know better than 18-24year old kids the decline in real wages and conditions and the hyperinflation of the wealth gap between the haves and haves not, who aren't as easily fed lines to regurgitate on message boards, who don't swallow the nebulous "economy" as the centre of all importance, but actually care about decisions which impact on them?

Are you serious with this garbage? The way they vote contributes to those exact problems.

 

[Flintty]

Crow is what you serve on a plate when your favorite game gets a higher metacritic score than expected not when the whole country is fucked. Not a laughing matter at all.

I'm talking about the guy who repeated on every page 'Remain will win' and offered to face riducule for being wrong.

And the country isn't fucked, it's a glorious day.

 

[Psychotext]

Morning folks!

Oh my god, what the fuck have we done?

At least I got a few hours sleep.

I didn't. I need a hug.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Well Scotland, it's time for another vote, me thinks.

 

[ferrasvansen]

Scotland can apparently trigger something that would delay Brexit for 10 years if we don't get a referendum. Something to do with us voting to stay in the UK guaranteeing us staying in Europe.

I think anyway.

Yeah the arguments and such over transfers of laws would take a generation, there are so many laws needed to be rewritten and no actual idea between experts of how that will work, you have no idea what this has started lol, clusterfuck central. There is even a growing opinion in legal circles that Scotlands parliament would have to agree to be removed from the EU, convention demands it, right ordering 20 years worth of popcorn.

 

[Scum]

Scotland and NI calling for independence referendums?

Very very likely.

 

[milanbaros]

I thought you were certain london would sway the vote?

I thought so too. Now got to go in and see if I still have a job.

 

[Striek]

The unwashed masses literally don't know what's good for them a lot of the time.

Yes, too much direct democracy can be bad. As shown by this very thread.

....right.

You know how obnoxious this is right? Everyone decrying the decision and people who made it because its not the one they wanted. Thinking that you are actually smarter, or know more on the subject, have a more valuable opinion or the right opinion.

 

[Metal B]

the bigger countries are over represented and push around the smaller countries

the EU should not be proportional by population, the EU should be every member state is an equal no matter how big or small the country is.

I am not a fan of the way Germany treated Greece mind you

Do you really believe, that many of the smaller countries had a better time without the EU? Maybe the EU really needs to collapse, so that people get reminded, why there were so much benefits with it. If there ever will be another chance.

 

[fester]

You know Britain, it's one thing to shoot yourself in the foot...and quite another to take dead, fucking aim.

 

[Easy_D]

That's UK in 2 years ? :")

Yes, after Scotland is made independent and invade to make England great again.

 

[Sioen]

It is a good day for democracy even if the camp that won wasn't your taste.

 

[Envelope]

I have no idea what this means can anyone break it down for me?

UK falling apart

EU looking shakier than ever

rip brittania

but hey, at least they have "freedom" to watch it all crash and burn!

 

[Mr Cola]

As an international student studying in London, I now have even less idea about my future.

Gonna take 2 years to negotiate out of Europe, in that time we will still be a part of it with all regulations and such.

 

[maabus1999]

So this is going to put stress on the EU now to actually strengthen membership requirements; they won't want to go through this again...

 

[Mooreberg]

Realistic answer?

Scotland 5 years minimum. We just had one and even though things have changed there is no way any UK government is going to hold another one before at least one more election cycle.

Northern Ireland. Unchanged, Ireland as a whole (North & Republic) is currently enjoying the benefits of the good friday agreement referendum (oh the irony) and if unification was to happen it would be a gradual peaceful one as attitudes changed due to long term peace.

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

 

[Faustek]

Congratz UK!

Either that is really stupid or really smart.

 

[SuperSah]

Okay, couple of questions.

1) What happens when markets open?

2) What happens if it's 'bad'?

3) What is the likelihood of inflation and recession etc?

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Markets are tanking, Japan has stopped trading.

Wow
