Support NeoGAF

[MrS]

Again, your attitude is not helping. Not implying that everybody here is acting like a saint (far from it), but your way of reacting to it is not the best either.

He's right though.

 

[Hip Hop]

It's not as bad as GAF makes it out to be - people are just being drama queens.

Just like our U.S. politics

 

[Striek]

do you understand the concept of a dead cat bounce

Too early. Also, the underlying fundamentals haven't changed much. Doesn't apply.

Edit: But more broadly, I wasn't speaking about today or even this week. I mean in the next couple weeks when people realise, shockingly, the sky has fallen on no ones head.

 

[convo]

Does this lead to war ?

Or another EU but version 2

I'm in freakout mode

Giving that voters would be too lazy to even vote why would they even leave their home to go to war? Political apathy would be more my thing.

 

[owasog]

Gambling the future of your entire country just "to put middle finger to Cameron" would be the most dangerously childish thing I've ever heard of.

That's what happens in referenda like this. The rabid negativity crowd shows up to vote but the indifferent stay home. And when you ask them why they voted this way they come up with all sorts of nonsense arguments.

 

[deefol]

Because now we can actually sign deals with other countries...

That's not how deals work, you have to have leverage and with everything going to shit and all the biggest money makers leaving, there will be no leverage.

Therefore we can't sign good deals with other countries, at least for now

 

[Already Torn]

Pointing out untruths is OK. Insulting people because of their choice of vote is just wrong.

Thanks. You too!

We shall see. Yeah things are changing but we'll all still be living and breathing. It's not as bad as GAF makes it out to be - people are just being drama queens.

Literally every measure that could suggest that this has gone horribly wrong has happened.

 

[commedieu]

The markets LOVE uncertainty...

So do all these companies leavers think they are going to get?

This is twilight zone shit.

 

[Arnie7]

Just woke up to the news. How surreal.

 

[eBay Huckster]

Too early.

and this doesn't apply to the rest of your post because...?

 

[Afrikan]

Is this dude American? WTF?

edit- Bank of England Governor. Mark Carney.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Wait, why is the governor of the Bank of England an American?

 

[antonz]

100% leave voters are morons
100% remain voters are intelligent and informed

Got it

The Leave Campaign has already openly stated they lied about 2 of their major reasons for leaving the EU.

So doesn't speak well for the people who fell for the lies

 

[AmyS]

Wow this Bank of England guy doesn't sound British, sounds American.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Bank of England is ran by a American?

He sounds America

 

[SomTervo]

I felt sick when I got up this morning. I just feel completely numb now. Never thought I would be pissed to see Cameron go but him abandoning ship like this is unforgivable. We are probably going to have Boris in charge by the end of the year. My wifes employer is 50% funded by the EU so she is probably going to lose her job. What a fucking time to be alive.

Me and my girlfriend both felt exactly the same.

 

[Maledict]

Wait, why is the governor of the Bank of England an American?

Canadian.

Because he did an great job in Canada, so we lured him over here to run the BoE when we needed a new governor.

 

[Arksy]

Isn't he Canadian?

 

[FStop7]

He is Irish-Canadian

I swear he almost said "Bank of America" but cut himself off

 

[mdubs]

Wow this Bank of England guy doesn't sound British, sounds American.

He's Canadian, and was formerly head of the Bank of Canada

 

[Carl2291]

He is Canadian iirc.

Canadian, started at Goldman Sachs.

 

[mrklaw]

It's ok - he's Canadian

 

[DirtyManos]

He's Irish-Canadian. This shit ain't on us lol

 

[Jindrax]

Where has that Remain tolerance that you guys supposedly espoused gone?

I'm not Brittish. Looking on your situation as an outsider makes the half of your country look incredible dumb.

Christ even having trump as president is less bad than this. His power is severely limited, if he has congress against him he's done. And he can be be impeached the first moment he makes ( and he will ) a critical mistake.

The choice half of your nation made on the other hand...

 

[KimiNewt]

Good heavens. What a terrible shame, terrible.

I was considering moving to the UK at some point in the not-too-far future but that takes it off the table. I suppose Ireland will do.

 

[jelly]

What the fuck, I can't fucking believe it. We have screwed ourselves.

Fucking hell. I wake up to this shit.

 

[TCRS]

no he's a leaf

 

[twobear]

Has there been a worse time in the last sixty years to be a person under the age of 25 than right now? A decade of Tory governance and a vote to leave the EU is wrecking their futures.

 

[Red Arremer]

What if france wants to leave the EU ?

They go then others go and we work out a new deal?

Or economic hardship all over Europe

I don't think France would have it easy to leave, since they have the Euro. That makes their economy and agreements much further entrenched with the EU than the UK ever was.
So it's extremely difficult to say what would happen if a Euro country would leave, since the UK always has been the odd one out with all those special regulations and exceptions and whatnot.

France, Netherlands and Italy up next mark my words.
This has set the precedent for others to get out of the EU.

Interesting times ahead.

Don't forget Austria.

All Your UK Are Belong To U..S.

Holy shit this is such a disaster I can't believe it

 

[Arksy]

Great statement by Mark Carney.

 

[LilJoka]

I bought a house last week, 2 bed 75sqm in Slough 360k new build.

I lose 500£ to back out.
What should I do?!

A recession will surely put me into negative equity.
It's my first house.

 

[Lagamorph]

I really hope the talk of a free movement zone between UK/Canada/Australia/New Zealand starts to become reality now at least. It could at least help to take the edge off of all this.

 

[BigDes]

Wow this Bank of England guy doesn't sound British, sounds American.

He's Canadian.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Is there any worse image than seeing Farage grinning from ear to ear in celebration.... Urgh.

 

[Tecnniqe]

no he's a leaf

He sure is flying in the wind now


Heyooo

[Peru]

Young voters overwhelmingly voted to stay, but are fucked by old geezers on their way 'out' anyway. That's the most shocking story in this, to me.

 

[nOoblet16]

Freaking balls out right now, French wife.

Maybe she wants to leave Uk . At moment doesn't feel welcome here.
.have a son from another relationship lives in uk

What do I do?

Had hardly any sleep.

Won't affect your life or hers, she is married to you she can stay and even become British. Your son from other relationship is British because of you.

 

[Betty]

What because the alternative had a clue what they were doing as well?

Cameron had a clue when he allowed this vote to happen?

The reality is, nobody has a fucking clue what they are doing. Everyone is winging it.

The EU will treat us like shit and won't give us good deals because if they do it'll be an incentive for other EU states to leave.

For the next few years, no matter what we do, our future is going to be a giant gamble. We could be the most industrious nation ever but if everyone can buy from EU states cheaper and trade easier, I can't see many companies willing to take the risk to remain in the UK.

This was a ridiculously bad idea.

I'm now all for an Independent Scotland vote when I wasn't before and I can say with confidence that Scotland will likely leave the UK.

The United Kingdom has a very, very, very good chance to be dissolved in the coming years and at no point would I say that was the right course.

 

[mrklaw]

Looking forward to my job hunting being delayed as I expect a bunch of vacancies will be put on hold

Bank is on now.

Basically confirming this is a disaster.

I Believe how EU will handle the negotiations with the UK that determine the outcome of it all.

What are we going to do with all of the U.K. Flag merchandise? They're gonna have to change all the emojis.

 

[firehawk12]

Wow this Bank of England guy doesn't sound British, sounds American.

He's Canadian. He was the BoC chief before going to BoE.

Sad? This fucker gambled with the future of his country and the EU to Garner some domestic political currency.

The UK leaving will be his Legacy, and I couldn't be happier that this clot will be remembered as the short sighted irresponsible man he is.

As for the future, the EU will bounce back and finally have enough people willing to Reform it in order to make it leaner and more efficient. Without a country that always wanted to play it's own tune the European Idea can finally grow further.

The scots will be interesting to watch now.

Oh I know, but imagine the feeling of being remembered as the worst PM in the history of modern Britain. He's now worse than Tony Blair. lol

it seems largely predictable to me?
