indeed..
London is going to suffer so much. So many jobs are going to be lost to companies going elsewhere.
How is it ridiculous? old people who will die soon are ruining the lives of young people, they don't have to deal with it long term, young people do.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Cornwall pleas for reassurance they won't be worse off.

Joke post? If not, then why? Please explain yourself.
Yep I simply do not see freedom of movement going away...which is ironic because it was the biggest reason why Leave won.
Even more ironic considering Brexit supporters claimed that because Norway and Switzerland are doing well then so can UK while supporting the anti immigration policies at the same time.
It's not, with ridiculously low minimum wages.

Yeah, France is not leaving the EU anytime soon. We can be extremely stupid but not enough that we would consider telling Germany to fuck off. We would be a mess without them.

No way. Zero benefit for EU to do that. In fact, taking over that role will be the only true benefit EU can get from Brexit. THey might do some consessions in trade deals, because it could benefit both sides, but financial services are moving to Frankfurt.
Er pound dropped to lowest level not seen since 1985. I've literally never seen the pound this low.

With the market exploding right now how is this going to effect the rest of the world?

This may be a terrible analogy, but are we looking at a Soviet Union situation where once one nation leaves, everything falls apart?

Honestly, if democracy and self-determination are the main drivers, I can't see the rationale for not allowing Scotland, North Ireland or even Gibraltar to have their own referendums about whether they want to stay in the UK.

There will certainly be a push to get a referendum in those countries. In Germany the AFD would love this.

Legit shook.
Once this sinks in I am heading out into town to put my affairs in order and brace myself and the family for the incoming shitstorm.

Where have you been? It's barely been two years since there was a referendum on Scotland's membership of the EU.
Interesting. What's the cause behind that?

The UK is going to crumble
I thought all those Cornish fishermen would start catching gold bricks as soon as we left the EU though
Farage responds:
"There is still demand for pasties, pastie exports will be a major part of our trade negotiations. You'll be fine."
How did Cornwall vote? If they were for leave, fuck them. They've made their bed.
As AHA said, literally the same thing happened 1:1 with the Scottish Independence referendum
"And I love pasties! I have one a week! At least!"

No. Your money isn't going anywhere. Banks are not going broke. And even if they are - which again, is not happening - your money will be returned to you by the government.
This is the shock because no one was expecting this result.. at all lol, over the next months the pound will bounce back and keep rising, you'll see.

I sort of love this "well, we knew the beginning would be hard, but we'll come back stronger!" argument. For the foreseeable future, the UK's economy has been extremely weakened. Good job!

It will be interesting to see what happens with London. I don't know specifics,but I do know that none of my chums in the city were particularly concerned. Furthermore it's often been said that Wall Street is the financial capital of the US, and London is the financial capital of everywhere else. Obviously a lot of it involved the EU, but a lot of it doesn't, too, yet it competes against the likes of Hong Kong, Singapore etc. This obviously won't help, but will it kill it? I dunnooooo.

Didn't young people decide to not vote en masse? Then they can have only themselves to blame. You can keep telling somebody to not put his fingers into burning stove, but if despite all the warnings he still does that it's hard to feel sorry for him.

That resurgence took off in the early 2000s - it's not beginning now or in the future, the Commanding General of the United States Army Europe, Ben Hodges, just last week recently spoke about how Russia's modernisation/resurgence efforts and threats on the baltics is of concern. Part of their modernisation/resurgence even surprised the U.S with technology they were completely unaware of until it was displayed in Syria last year.
Here's a 25min video of the interview with him by the BBC. The actual interview segment with his starts at around 6m44s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NgYGccVBfI&t=25s

Sure I studied Politics at university. I know exactly what I'm talking about. The EU is a big pile of shit. It's just a matter of time until it dies.
Looking at the demographics of this election once again, I get the feeling that us younger people, the ones who actually will have to deal with all this mess in the future, are overruled by the majority which consists of old-ass backwards idiots. I'm getting more and more afraid that our senior citizens are fucking us over.
Once our generation becomes the majority we'll have our hands full with turning all of this around instead of making the actual progress we could have done instead. Thanks, old people!

holy shit
Scotland had a referendum in 2014 and Gibraltar in 2002
That's the main reason i reckon the leave-campaigners thinking they'll get a sweet trade-deal with the EU as a reward for leaving are delusional.
That is very sad. I honestly had no idea this was going on.

Aye and you've never seen a country leave the EU before, so let's leave the doomsday predictions for now.

I'm hearing from HSBC guys that this was basically the final straw, so it isn't looking good.
