Switzerland thrives because of its banks, Norway because of its rich oil reserves and Liechtenstein is small you can't even begin to compare it to an country with 65 million residents.

Feels like impending doom...

Come to America. Our boomers are on the downslope.
But why do people expect economic collapse
This...
that is why it was right, we abandoned a sinking ship, if not us it would of been someone else

Having not really kept up with this. I honestly thought this wouldn't pass, but huh...
So what's the good and bads to this?

How much of that youth even bothered to vote though? They fucked themselves if they didn't.

If we can pull one small positive from this clusterfuck of a result, perhaps this will serve as a wake-up call to young people that we need to fucking go out and vote at every single opportunity.
ScotGaf here.
This I don't blame on EngGaf ... EnGaf? Whatever.
This is on London.
You do not spend generations being the face of milk snatching, DWP, and TV AM and then turn around and ask the people you have been victimising for years on end for a solid.
That gets you this.

Even if the us market tanks a little it will rebound hard within a week. All the money pouring out of UK and EU will have to go somewhere, and the US is the default safe haven of choice for all money managers, hedge funds, citizens, countries, etc. If you see any dips in the US stock market, it would be a great time to buy in.
Overall it really won't have any impact on the US, The UK -> US trade market is around $5.5b USD annually (US -> UK is around $4b); the US does more than that in a single DAY of trading with China.
You could fill me in.

Woke up this morning to see that the day belongs to Boris, Farage, Gove, dog whistles and uncertainty.
Excuse me while I throw up.

All your old people screwed you over. Time to kick your grandparents to the curb.
People who won't even be around to see the damage they've done.
You should lose the right to vote at 60.
I was jumped in the last thread for daring to suggest these old cunts not be allowed to vote. I was given ridiculous anecdotal evidence to suggest they trend towards remain.
Pfft.
I'm not going to say I told you so though, I need to start figuring out my move to Frankfurt... not sure what my girlfriend is going to do as her job is here...
Guess I'll put my house up for rent when I leave...
Sigh. A bunch of old, racist bigoted fucking cunts just decided my foreseeable future for me. Cunts who won't feel the consequences of their actions... absolute fucking disgrace.
Reposting from last thread since thread was closed.
It was bound to happen tbh after the insane Paris attacks. People are scared and fear wins.
The funny thing is that the British have had south asian (or Pakistani) imimigrants for decades now. Three generations born and raised in the U.K so they should be used to them. They should know not all muslims are evil. But nope, they let ISIS win.
You guys can come to the U.S. Queen Hillary's got your back.
Merryweather was right. Fear always wins. Fucking hell, UK.
I shoulda sold stock today! The markets were up!

High I would imagine like. I will wager a protest March is already preparing to lay siege to the houses of parliament.
Because it is. Like. Right now.
At this point, the disintegration of the EU is a legitimate concern. Far-right parties and Donald Trump will have a ball.

Article 50 has a two year automatic timer associated with it.
The Leave camp want more than two years for EU exit negotiations.

It's just a bit odd to see gaf so pro establishment
I mean the more Tory the more privileged the more London the more banker the more "stay".
It seems to me it's quite unclear as to how this will shake out but I am sure even Sanders has mixed feelings: voters rejected the conservative entrenched establishment, and their rather arrogant idea they could throw out a referendum to shut up critics. It's democracy warts and all not warped by electoral bohndaries or low turnout.

And Boris does?
Don't say that, it's easier to treat people who are for Brexit as racists and idiots.
Well lets hope Trump doesn't get in. Might just take you up on that offer if that's the case.
Though all the money I could possibly come up with would only get me around $5 the way the pound's going.

True, just saying no point bitching that it was done as a referendum....if it has been by counties it would of been a landslide for leave
Sidebar: At least for the US, it depends on the condition and your plan. My prescription is free, but I pay out the ass for basic doctor's visits and in weekly premiums. I'd hope you guys would at least stand to try and keep NHS, cause that'd be even more fucked.

This precipitates the sinking, quite possibly. That's the point.

Children of Men is my favourite film, but I didn't want to live in it.
BBC with all polls reporting.
I'm part of the 28% who didn't vote.
Mostly because I thought the public shouldn't be voting for something so major anyway.
...soI forfeit my right to complain.

I don't understand why people think the NHS is suddenly going to crumble?
You can't claim you abandoned a sinking ship if your way out was blowing a hole in its side.
I know every objective measure points in that direction, but why are people expecting that?
As an American citizen who lived in the UK three different times for over six years and have visited at least once a year for the last 20+ I'm pretty shocked. I know a lot of people complain about Brussels bureaucrats bossing them around but I never thought they would do something do short-sighted.
Honestly, I'm a little scared what this means for our own upcoming election and how this is going to effect the global economy in the short term. Crazy times.
