Words said as the GBP is falling.

It was mentioned on the live BBC coverage early on. They said delay Brexit by a decade. I'm hazy right now and can't remember exactly.
Something Sturgeon can trigger due to our devolved powers.
It's getting there!
holy fuck. It was like 1.41 an hour ago

Voting for a concept is different than voting for a person who is hated by 60-70% of voters. Not to mention demographics, electoral college, fundraising, and god knows what else. It is a worthless comparison that has no meaning.

Theoretically yes but for a new member to join they need to be ratified by all existing members and there are several members with axes to grind (I seem to recall Spain significantly so) who would be seeking major concessions before authorising membership. In other words, Scotland could gain independence and seek to rejoin, as long as we're willing to lube up and take a good hard economic pounding as the price for joining.

If the UK wants access to the single market they will still have to accept free movement of people even with a leave vote

You've had too much too drink or rather emotional right now.
52% of UK unwashed confirmed. I'll take a wash later.
Nah because baby boomers are the first generation with such life expectancy, level of education and who got to enjoy their civil rights to the fullest (for both men and women) since birth.
Nah they voted leave because they want their country to go back to how it was.
You will also make political decision that your future children have to live with.
Its really disgusting to me that some now insult old people for using their democratic right they are much longer here, have seen much more and have had much more experience.
In the past old people were a seen as a treasure drove of knowledge and experience today they get insults if they dont vote "right".
That graph shows GBP vs Euro

If you think the UK is fucked for leaving, the Netherlands will become a fucking wasteland without the EU.
More than likely is the start of the end of the EU. The UK was going to be the strongest European economy in 15 years. Coupled with what has happened in Greece and the rising far right parties elsewhere and border walls everywhere, there is real danger the EU won't survive this.
They expanded too fast and incorporated too many vastly different countries. If anything, there is no way they will admit Turkey now.

It's more likely UK will gain jobs while EU countries lose jobs because a lower GBP is great for exports.

Yeah right. This is the equivalent of a southern state seceding. And will likely be just as devastating.

Now I know this is a silly question, but did the referendum contain wording that excludes further votes in the next two years to call this off? Like maybe when the people wake up tomorrow and realize what they have done?

They actually triggered their circuit breaker?
Right now it looks like it popped up a bit and then dropped again.

If anything maybe this well get fence sitters to get out and vote in November despite the difference in margins. This shit is the outcome of apathy from young voters.
this is against the Euro, not USD

Morning Quiche.
I think you are now in charge of one of the legendary GAF megathreads!
Not really awake enough to have this sink in yet, but probably I should have put my stock order in on Wednesday.
This is sad.

UK decided to leave EU against common reason, due to biggotry and a laughable sense of superiority.
EU project is fatally wounded without one of their stronger members in the ranks, markets won't look EU as a firm project anymore. More exits could happen.

If I want to take advantage of cheap stock prices today and certain companies like Unilever, Shell etc trade in pounds and euros, is it advises able to buy the stocks In euros or pounds?

I love how people don't get the irony of my Braveheart pic. I do agree with the UK leaving the EU, as I hate the EU and what it has done to certain countries. Specifically, I think Merkel is on a power trip and carrying on the history of Germans controlling other nations.
However, the use of the Braveheart pic is hilarious to me because Scotland has been dragged into all this because of England. Maybe sad for some but the irony in it was just too good to pass up.
On another note, that was the most epic FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOOM scream I could think of.

Wow, what a totally unexpected twist! Who could have seen that one coming????
Fucking over your own country for little more than racist bullshit is hardly a matter of "taste."
Not sure how Mike '4th Place at Evo' Ross will help us.

Seems like this generation of old people is worse than previous ones.
Market gyrations are not the same thing as the 'economy tanking.'
Contrary to popular belief, by the way, a devalued currency has both negative and positive domestic economic effects.
