Support NeoGAF

[Raxus]

Barclays down 35%
Lloyds down by 30%
House builders down by over 40%

Markets have been open for 15 minutes.

Market went to the NHS.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

What should one do if they have tens of thousands of pounds in a HSBC savings account right now?

 

[Lonestar]

Think all the signs have been proven.

2016 is the year we all die.

or maybe it was we all get pie.

I should have paid more attention to that fortune teller.

 

[Buzzman]

 

[Putzweg]

Exit EU. Enter EEA.

 

[Flintty]

Excellent, well done brexiters. And fuck everyone who just thinks half the country are nothing more than racists. Fuck all of you.

Seconded. Interesting times ahead. Sorry for those who are initially are badly affected but hopefully the market will stabilise pretty quickly. Labour and Tories need to get their game together though or UKIP will take this momentum and steamroll.

 

[brain_stew]

BBC reckon Cameron may be about to resign.

 

[mrklaw]

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

Ireland could be a potential shitshow because of the peace process being affected - Sinn Fein will push for unification.

Scotland will probably wait at least until the agreements with the EU are done - no point jumping ship until knowing what the alternative is. And I think it is just too soon to have another referendum there


My best case hope now is that the UK gets continued access to the free market because it is in the interest of the whole EU bloc. Ironically that might give us less control over borders and less influence to change things.

Maybe this might also encourage some serious discussion within Europe about how it evolves structurally - there is continuous push to and from around more political union vs a more economic approach - and this might push things back towards a simpler, more economic basis

Yeah but the wider market bounced off the low and is about 7% down, so basically back to a few months ago. Shrug.

 

[Jindrax]

Saves 350 million a day, controls immigration, job enrichment, have our own legislation system and justice system etc etc, lots of reasons

Edit: Sorry meant a week

In the words of someone who's been studying your legal system for the passed 5 years and watched the UK form except after exception on EU legislation that would have helped the country. You sir, are an ignorant baffoon who has made a completely uninformed and idiotic decision. But don't feel bad. Half of the country is wearing the same shoes.

 

[EatinOlives]

Governments have been taking money out of education for years. An uneducated voter base is great for those who want to remain in power.

This. That people still pull out the 350 million/week figure says as much.

 

[Busty]

I genuinely feel nauseous after reading the results this morning.

What a massive cluster fuck this is going to be.

The thought of Boris as Prime Minister is already too much to bear let alone the idea the Farage is going to be hanging about UK politics, like the grim spectre of death, for the next ten years.

 

[Maledict]

Even the BBC are reporting on the rumour that Cameron will resign. The markets will double down on exploding if that's the case. No-one has any confidence in Johnson handling this.

 

[GHG]

Whats wrong with showing what Leave voters motivated to vote the way they did?

So you think all 17 million people voted leave for exactly the same reason?

 

[ShipTheCheese]

But people just posting the immigration image over and over again without any discourse is completely ok?

I was not implying that at all, whereas you seem to imply that there have been no rational posts regarding the negative impact Brexit may have (as shown by the severe stock drops), which is not the case.

So far, the overwhelming majority of the Leave party have not shown any intention to discuss matters or their reasoning, which I think is a shame.

 

[Lagamorph]

Surely there is enough evidence already for the referendum result to be disregarded now.
The economy is in freefall, the leave campaign have already admitted they completely lied. How can the result be even remotely considered legitimate or workable under these circumstances?

 

[daveo42]

Saves 350 million a day, controls immigration, job enrichment, have our own legislation system and justice system etc etc, lots of reasons

Edit: Sorry meant a week

The first two have already come out as lies.

 

[SuperBowser]

Well. Good job England. Continue to vote against your own interests.

Not sure I'm staying in this country. Currently work in the NHS and I already know leaving the EU only means my job becomes more shit.

 

[Mr Cola]

Shits intriguing as fuck, havent slept in 24 hours and barely awake but I cant turn it off, dont want to miss anything.

This is pure history in motion

Give me caffeine pills

 

[Kornoponing]

It's funny how some people keep expressing happiness on leaving the EU and hope that other countries follow. Never forget, we may live in the "old" world but the "new" world is is much, much bigger that the European countries. If we don't join up we will have nothing to say in the world. Don't forget, China is 21x bigger than the UK... We are just specs of dust as countries on our own.

 

[Dougald]

Oh good, I was just feeling nostalgic for the last recession

 

[Shaanyboi]

This is the equivalent of threatening to slap yourself, doing it, and falling off a cliff as a direct result...

Congratu-fucking-lations.

 

[Lightning Count]

So just to re-iterate, leaking now that Cameron is about to resign.

Possibly the only good thing to come out of this disaster. But if Farage or Johnson is his successor it's time to run for the hills.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

What was the main platform of leave? What was the overwhelming message from leave?

Job security? Better quality of life?

Short on stocks?

 

[Daffy Duck]

I genuinely feel nauseous after reading the results this morning.

What a massive cluster fuck this is going to be.

The thought of Boris as Prime Minister is already too much to bear let alone the idea the Farage is going to be hanging about UK politics, like the grim spectre of death, for the next ten years.

Same here, and if Cameron leaves it's just going to add to the madness.

What a shit time.

 

[Orniletter]

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

1. I think it's pretty likely. Scots are fed up with England's dickwaving and are pro Europe.

2. No. The entire Union is far too important to let the cunts that voted leave tear it all down. England will be made an example of with unfavourable trade deals and the recession they'll fall in will scare everybody else off.
(sorry 48 %)

 

[LucidMomentum]

So you think all 17 million people voted leave for exactly the same reason?

No, but the word cloud shows that was a major determining factor.

#BREAKING Brexit: Spain proposes 'shared sovereignty' over Gibraltar

jesus

 

[Officerrob]

Yes but maaaaybe it will be a smaller shockwave

Markets hate uncertainty, that's not going away anytime soon

He's brought his wife out, he's gone.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

So you think all 17 million people voted leave for exactly the same reason?

No, you know, I know how to read that kind of charts.

 

[MassiveNights]

I am scared, banks are tanking.

[brain_stew]

He's going here.

 

[AmyS]

There's he is.

 

[Z3K]

No. Replace EU with UK.

The EU is not dead, but it needs to listen to what people are saying and implement more sweeping reforms to stop contagion.

 

[Jezbollah]

Possibly the only good thing to come out of this disaster. But if Farage or Johnson is his successor it's time to run for the hills.

Be careful for what you wish.

 

[Aiii]

But people just posting the immigration image over and over again without any discourse is completely ok?

You mean the word cloud that was gathered from social media? The one that says "immigration control" as one of the major pillars of the #brexit side?

Because it was, you know, it might not be your personal position, but that was a huge part of the #brexit camp regardless of that. If that's enough to offend you, I honestly don't know what to tell you.

 

[geordiemp]

Excellent, good job for destroying peoples lives, savings and retirements. Good job all!

Doom I tell ya.

After a few days it will all calm down.

 

[Blastoise]

Why are housing builders being hit so hard?

Did they build houses outside of the UK?

 

[mehrmantrout]

Fuck his wifes there, he's going to go isn't he?

 

[Arksy]

Anyone have a good live stream?

 

[MMarston]

So just to re-iterate, leaking now that Cameron is about to resign.

Just a refresher as a backseat spectator: this was all his idea right?


If so, what else should he do? He just played all-in and it blew up in his face at the cost of the UK.

 

[oti]

Cameron speaking

 

[User 85168]

Cameron speaking now

 

[Ashes]

Fuck me. The markets are still tanking.

We're still the fifth largest economy. Why are these people panicking so much?

 

[Brutalitops]

Excellent, well done brexiters. And fuck everyone who just thinks half the country are nothing more than racists. Fuck all of you.

My cousin voted leave and he's not close to being a racist.

 

[The Naked Priest]

This is a massive win.

The EU will implode, and this is the start.
Iceland don't want to join, Switzerland has cancelled their application, France wants out etc.

To call England leaving xenophobic and racist is just pure ignorance and actually make you look pretty daft.

I hope we here in Sweden will have a vote as well as we're many that wants to leave, but with the incompetent moron in charge that will sadly not happen any day soon.

 

[AnathemicOne]

When will Cameron speak? I'm interested to see what he will day of this.

 

[CyclopsRock]

Possibly the only good thing to come out of this disaster. But if Farage or Johnson is his successor it's time to run for the hills.

Look at literally everyone in the Tory party and name one person that you - as someone who presumably doesn't like the Tories - was rather PM than Cameron.

 

[BahamutPT]

What controls does Norway have on borders? Assuming best case is a Norway-like agreement,mod we end up with more or less control over borders and immigration?

Norway actually is a member of the Schengen area. It would be illogical for the UK to leave the EU and adopt Schengen.
I just can't see what will change border-wise. (Ireland also has an opt-out on Schengen, so people can't "enter through there")
