Well, the very first point of the executive summary has already been blundered. The same guy who said "the British people would rightly expect that to start straight away," is now saying he wants no part of it and has no intention of starting anything straight away.
In fact, in seems like no one in a position of political power wants any part of this result and rightly so. It's a disaster.

The UK does yes. I don't see that being particularly badly effected though.
Going over EU Civil Service statistics, it's interesting that Brits make up only 3.8% of EU Civil Service, for example Poles make up 4.8%.
It's going that way. It's what Blair talked about. "We can now test this with reality".
Sterling is getting beaten up like it owes money. A sub-parity GBPEUR cross is being priced at material probabilities.
Meanwhile business will continue to hold off investment and announce plans about moves.
The cratering of consumer confidence and Q3/Q4 GDP falling negative is the aim.
This is the only politically acceptable solution to back away from all of this and salvage EEA+Passport. Which will then be done by the House and not by the people.
Crises focus minds to the reality that we are a small country. It's the only play here.
Wales voted leave

Welp, at least soon Finland can claim to no longer being the sick man of Europe. Instead it'll be a sick man of Europe.

Martyr to the cause, tho, right?
Twat sent all his customers a letter saying it wouldn't affect the economy that much and dismissing remain as scaremongering
Don't overestimate Merkel's "kindness" here. Autumn will be her breaking point no doubt about that.

Until a UKIP tit crawls its way into power and fires the loaded gun everyone had tried their best to forget.
Communist league booth. I don't expect any less.

Yep give us a taste of what's coming up, the stop it going off the edge, sounds sensible to me. The general population are living in cuckoo land, no sense of reality and willingly throwing away the economy at a whim.

Exactly. This wait and see by the UK will not go well, and EU will be forced to expedite this and stop the bleeding,

Yep. Was pointing out because Wales would still be in a terrible situation, they wouldn't be members of the EU.
Leave managed to convince the UK this wouldn't happen, do you think they won't manage to convince people that this is all someone else's fault and nothing to do with Brexit?
The minority didn't want them. But you are right all dave had to do is lie a little, offer a EU ref and call all sick/disabled scroungers. I really hope people have changed their view over what has happened in the EU ref, but can't see it.

Spartacist? Is this the Weimar Republic?
You must've only read British papers or something, there were European leaders far harsher than her and Germany in general. You make it sound like she was alone.
Where did you ever see/hear that? (Genuinely asking.)

Not if Boris and Co are in with this, they will not risk destroying the economy or its bye bye careers, no plan suggests to me there was never one and won't be one.

Foreign conspiracy to undermine the British empire. Man the battlements.
No, it's fucking brutal and I really don't understand why your Remain campaign didn't take a few juice bits from this as soundbites to raise hell before the referendum.
I hope that the UK stay with the loss of the privileges gained in February (which the EU seems to consider void anyway, since they were given to STOP you from voting Leave) and a few other concessions, but it looks grim.
The only upside is that I can import more Warhammer than I ever wanted if the pound drops below 1:1 with . Before trade tariffs become a reality, of course. And postae goes up even more.

The people don't vote for a leader of a party only their own MP locally. The leadership of the Tory party is largely influenced by group of Tory MPs called the 1922 committee which is very anti EU.

Are there place of birth requirements to be Prime Minister of the UK? Obama's available in a couple of months
Welcome to the wonderful world of Trotskyism, where your splinter groups have splinter groups!
You need to be a Commonwealth citizen. Obama's Kenyan citizen therefore makes him eligible
I'll repeat myself: it probably is.
Yes, I read an article that said it could help the Berlin start-up scene, with the drawback that it will harder for start ups and small companies to get into the UK market.

Yes please.
I think Obama would rather do another 4 years with a republican congress than wade into this shitshow for one day
That sounds slightly un-democratic, can I vote to leave the UK now please?
I'd do anything for this. The funny thing is that this wouldn't even make the top 5 most ridiculous things to happen because of the whole Brexit chapter.
Another immigrant taking a job from a hard working white British person?!?
Cameron himself said it:

David Cameron said:
Cameron isn't hard working. I see no issue here.
The catch 22 is that they will similarly destroy their careers if they do not put into practice the referendum result that they campaigned for.
This would be my preferred outcome, but short of some extremely savvy political maneuvering, Johnson will likely never get a full term as PM.
It's sickening that he's obviously even still just trying to find the best option for his career rather than the best option for the country.

Prediction: the UK will be fine. May see a slowdown in economic growth temporarily, but you guys are still a big market and many countries - including European ones - are going to trade with you. After all, trade equals wealth and economic growth - and that's what both the UK and other countries want.
Another prediction: pretty bad news for Europeans that don't want an 'United States of Europe'.* The U.K. was the only big nation that was slowing down that movement and you were also the ones that were constantly pulling the handbrake.
Many Northern and Western European nations, in the nations where the people do not want an 'United States of Europe', have just lost an important ally.
* In the short-term it's probably better for those that don't want an US of Europe, as there is EU criticism all around Europe. In the long-term, I predict, it's still going to happen and there will be no UK for us to pull the handbrake.

On every john oliver video now you have a swarm of alt-right posters who are circlejerking, celebrating their distribution of bloody noses and calling of course that everybody except them are liars. That's your voter demographic ladies and gents

They will get away with it if the Tory press swings behind them, revisionist headlines will work wonders, it's a joke and utterly pathetic but perfectly believable.
