What? Everyone was saying it was a 50/50 toss up during the time leading up to the event. Do you have any proof of what you're shooting again or you still just trying to throw things at the wall and see what sticks?
Apparently the past is actually whatever we made up in our heads...
What's even more sad is people complain about cuts but voted in the tories and the same areas get funding from the EU but vote to fucking leave.
If true, my incredulity knows no bounds. People scoffed every time Donald Trump said something increasingly outrageous and his ratings went up, and here we are with Boris, one of the most despicable, self-serving scumbags of our time, about to get all that he wished for off the back of catastrophic damage to the country he pretends to serve. Good luck with that poisoned chalice. I hope he chokes on it.
If my wife hasn't been made redundant by the end of the year I'll be shocked. Though to be honest it was potentially going that way before the vote, this has just expedited it. My brother is in research/academia, so draw your own conclusions, and my Father can no longer afford to retire on his 70th in August

Just heard this morning that a friend of mine who lives in the US on a work visa travelled back home just to vote leave. His reasoning? "Because fuck Britain, fuck Europe, and FUCK THE QUEEN!".
He works in finance, so I am guessing he had a feeling that if leave were to win their economy would take a nasty hit. The guy seriously hates his home country.

Just like in the US, conservative politicians favor the rich and screw the poor, all while convincing them it's the minorities and immigrants that are to blame. Funny thing is, thanks to this vote, that's going to be exposed as a complete lie for once, and yet people will still believe it and vote accordingly.
I can safely say that Rupert Murdoch is one of those people who the world will be better off without.

TBH I just didn't want to open that can of worms by questioning which group were likely to be more informed percentage wise. I have my view and it may align with yours but I figure it's more important to question the sense or validity of a vote where its questionable many people voting even understood what they were voting for beyond vague ideals.
TBH the more I think about it the more I question a simple 50+1 referendum for such a hugely complex topic involving years of contracts, agreements and geopolitical infrastructures.

Is this the time Wyld Stallions finally bring that age of peace?
Holy shit Keanu and Farage same age? Hahahaha Farage, you haggard cunt.

Just heard a friend's British friend was denied a place in two German universities simply because the scholarship he'd need is EU funded and the university can't guarantee that because of Brexit.
Fuck you leave voters. Fuck you so very much. You are destroying the future of a lot of young people who don't share your idiotic views & grandiose delusions of Great Britain being better off alone (when they got into the whole union decades ago in the first place because they noticed they are better off together with Europe than separated from it)

Some people don't realize, but I think it's partly the way the Tories & Media etc represent it.
One UKIP MEP joked that when someone said they'd lost their job and said how would he feel when he loses his he said "I will lose my job, i love it" <_<
It's utterly depressing that out of billions of sperm the one that won grew up to be Nigel Farage.

Boris not only looks like a corpse but has the values of one too. Anyone but him...
England fans filmed in France too. I'm done even feeling remotely English.

Holy shit. So much for things will carry on as usual.
Leavers, any suggestions what his dad and brother should do? Y'all were full of that good, everything will be okay shit before...

No policy needs to change for people to get directly hurt by this decision. The market instability is a sign of investors fears and a clear signal that they will minimize their European investments until this gets settled and a clearer picture emerges.
In a global economy, flowing capital and consumer confidence are huge. Until this gets settled, people will be hesitant to start financial services companies, especially in the UK, and it will be a major part of the decision about where people invest/donate their money. This directly results in fewer job opportunities in important UK sectors.
Saying that nothing has changed is a very 2-dimensional view of the policies in place.
Bloody hell
I mentioned yesterday about this, but I saw the Polish dude who lives in our block of flats on my way to work today. I had a quick chat with him about everything and told him my partner and I voted Remain and that I was sorry about this whole mess and that I hope everything works out well for him and his partner whatever happens in the coming years.
He said "I came here for the good times and I'm here for the bad times too."
It might sound silly but I just felt a need to say something to him.

Quite a lof of firms stopping hiring, others already starting to fire people. That's "nothing" for you? We are talking about people here.
A lot of Brits right now fear for their jobs, and rightfully so. The current situation / uncertainty about the future is sheer poison for the job market in the UK.
A lot of Leavers will damn the day they voted for the Brexit once their bosses tells them to go find a new job (well, those with a job, that is).
And the thing is, right now the remains of the British government seems to be in no hurry to change this situation anytime soon. It seems to be far more important for them to stake their claims before starting to deal with the actual exit formalities.
That's truly sad and I especially pray for all those men an women which have a responsibility for their families and look into that uncertain future. As a father of four, this would be my worst nightmare, besides serious illness of one of my beloved of course.

No no, you misunderstand. Nothing has changed for him yet.

Sharing the same sandpit as tak3n, et-al? Must be cramped in there...
I suggested my dad sell up and move somewhere cheaper, but understandably he doesn't want to leave the house he's lived in for nearly 40 years, nor the community he's been in for 70, so I think he'll end up working until he drops.
"Don't spend your whole life dutifully saving into a single pension provider which happens to be Equitable Life, then plan to retire on it's meagre remains 2 months after your country votes to screw itself over" is a plan that would have worked, I guess
That must be why Leavers are so pro kicking people out.
The Christ and the Antichrist.
Ah shit. Now we're at the end of days? Can't catch a break.

Xenophobia against...other fellow europeans, from western Europe of all places, has to be the weirdest thing I never even thought of.
Awful.
Little Englanders, they're unable to see past their pubs.
Whelp there's my joke gone. But yeah first thing I thought. Keanu brought too much good into the world: karma demanded balance.

Good riddance to bad rubbish, at least if England leaves the EU it will be easier to stop these scum bringing their bile to host countries.
Well:
Brexit is already screwing young people out of education, creating international connections & just getting valuable experience outside UK.
Looks like it is bouncing back just a little. Between my father and I's account we've lost $11k since Friday. *sigh*
Credit ratings, people backing off buying Tara Steel, even a bunch of indie game studios closing, the pound cratering....

Why did Farage decide to turn into a Disney villain again?
Schulz is open for the UK to change their mind about Brexit. This doesn't mean they can delay the Art. 50 negotiations, he continued.

Yes but that happens too often. We had an incident in Spain this year with the supporters of the PSV Eindhoven:

Unfortunately it's probably this:
Well, yeah. But I can be slightly optimistic that the UK won't drag everyone down with them.
I know we're supposed to come together in unity and some such, but your avatar, man. Seriously.
