Disappointed in the country, but not surprised.
Much more disappointed in a lot of my family who voted leave "because because immigrants" i pressed them everytime they brought it up and none of them could come up with a coherent thought on why immigrants.
Oh well, best strap in.

While Gordon Brown didn't do a great job, he was just there for the fallout... Which he created before he was PM, but this is specifically about him being PM! Whoever comes in after Cameron will be looked at in the same light.

Yeah so? Not all people share the same point of view. Its not all about xenophobia and racism, many people have been disappointed by the EU project for many years now and want it to fail.
Nothing ever changes. Nobody proved beyond reasonable doubt EU was at fault for all our problems.

I'd love to hear from EuroGAF their opinions on the likelihood of:
- the end of the UK, with Ireland, Scotland, or both leaving
- the end of the EU as the dominoes start to fall

What a great day, made sure that I did my bit. The EU was doing us no good, I see the scaremongering has got to many of you but don't worry kids, we will be okay and the rest of EU will still want to trade with us and all that jazz. All these issues with trading will not last long, of course now there is being an overreaction.
This will just be the start, I can see other counteries following us and leaving as well such as the Netherlands. I'm not usually proud of my fellow countrymen because they usually pretty shit but today, damn good job to those 52%.

It's not ironic in the slightest. The country needs to pull together, with or without the EU. Unity can happen without the EU.
So if you disagree with policies and regulations imposed by the EU those are not valid reasons? If you say those are your reasons are they just a cover up for your "racism" and "xenophobia"?
And just so you know, I didn't vote myself, I'm a British expat living abroad. Looking at all of this from the outside its quite sad to see, but sad for reasons not realted to the result of the vote. The country is divided and has been for quite some time. This vote has just brought it all to the fore.

I should have heeded your warning, yeesh.
I think Neville Chamberlain still holds that title.

Yes, deciding important matters on the future of the country through a democratic referendum does sound like a healthy country.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215 There's a petition for a clear majority.
Holy fuck. I almost feel like you guys should demand a revote based solely around the fact that this man lied to millions of UK citizens. Even if it would probably cost me my job, I would have told him to fuck off if I was that journalist.

The US's huge diversity and polarization that causes minorities and liberal whites to band together against the Republicans make it extremely unlikely for the GOP to win the presidency this go around.

Shitty news to wake up to. I'm actually ashamed to be part of this country. I have two years to get the fuck out of here right?

Nigel Farage quoted as saying Leave made up the "£350 million extra to NHS every week" statistic AFTER the referendum results. Is that enough to prove manipulation and lies throughout the campaign? What about the "Turkey will join the EU" bullshit? That good enough?
EDIT: Lol at people quoting "Unity". You realise 2 of the 4 countries that comprise the United Kingdom voted OVERWHELMINGLY for remain? There's no Unity there. Also our capital was 60/40. The people with the means to create Unity are backing the fuck out.

I fff hope not. As a trading Centre of Europe that would fuck us over so much.

It's not a healthy Union by any means anyway. A monetary union without a united fiscal policy is a disaster as has been proven with PIGS. At the same time, good luck getting a united fiscal policy with mostly the big players dictating policy for their benefit. It's a shit show.

Let us free ourselves of the false song of globalism. I want peace and prosperity between NATIONS, not evil empires calling themselves "unions".
We can live in an international world of trade, travel, and peace. Nation States are the key to prosperity. You can take what good there is out of the EU, without the EU and rid Europe of the rest of it.
Fear has been instilled into so many, especially the youth into thinking the world is better off with globalism. Is cultural degradation, complete inequality of nations, less freedom, and forced policies really the superior way? Giant multinationals raping the working class of the world and nations are the solution?
We are better than this. Please research the evil of globalism and wake up. I want a peaceful and prosperous world just like many of you who disagree with me on this issue.

48% of us wanted to stay in! Don't tar us all with the same brush
Just feel bad for the almost 48% of the country that has to deal with the just over stupid half
