    Take a walk around my area and you might be able to see why us "complete fucking morons" voted to leave.

    I think the way the media has covered the result and the decision to leave has been nothing short of disgraceful, the people who voted to remain are showing themselves to be sore losers, they haven't shown the people who are pleased with the result it has all been about the shock and dismay of those who thought that there was no chance that the great unwashed would come together and out vote them.

    The EU was originated mainly for trading purposes if I am not wrong, it has turned into 5 fat cats telling us what we can and can't do and even who we have to let into the country and how much money we have to hand over to the EU.

    Yeah the markets taken a hit but it will recover it ain't going to be quick it will take a few years, the most important thing for us is to get the best possible PM in place to help take us forward.

    There was always going to be a blip in the economy if it went the way of exit.

    The truth is none of us know what might happen.

    My heart said one thing my head the other so in the end I decided not to vote as whatever the outcome I'd have regretted not voting the other way - my choice before anyone says anything.

    Was the out vote based mostly on immigration? Answer is yes most likely. But those in power did fuck all to listen to - what turned out to be the majority - of the public so they only have themselves to blame.

    I bet in reality it will make little difference going forward once everything has settled but the remain people are as said acting like sore losers to me. Very bitter.

    Of course I could be wrong and it will be mayhem.

    I'm not big on politics but it's apparent people have had enough of conventional no action politicians who just promise and do fuck all.

    Theres no wonder The Don is as strong as he is now in the presidential race.


    I'm just worried about my mobile phone roaming charges as ill be in Europe for four weeks out of the next 12. But I'm sure we could sort this out even without the EU.

    We all now need to get on with it. It's done.

    That is all
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    Great news for the working people of the UK, I hope this starts a trend and the rest of the West, including America break free of the Globalist's.

    Lets get the country united and running again.

    That isn't true. The pound RIGHT NOW is trading at the spot rate at $1.345 USD. but before the referendum, it was at $1.48 USD. that is still quite a bit lower than what it was.

    You are correct it is rising today - currently up by 0.02% today. A fair amount to go to gain back the nearly double digit % drop that we had going down.

    Let's wait maybe a year and see where the economy, currency and stock market is. What happens a day or a week after isn'r relevant. Wait to see how things shake out and look in six/twelve months.

    Here's a scenario for you. Over the next six/twelve months tons of big firms and big financial firms/banks say if the new PM doesn't sort out access to the single market they'll fuck off elsewhere. The economy falls off anyway to an almost standstill or maybe even tips into a recession. Lots of investment is put on hold, projects cancelled, that sort of thing.

    The EU tell us that unless we allow freedom of movement of EU people (the same uncontrolled immigration we have now) we don't get access to the single market. The government huff and puff but the EU don't budge. The eventual deal we negotiate includes freedom of movement of EU citizens. The EU kindly give us the option of scrapping the whole thing and just remaining a member -- they'll be under pressure from referenda and nationalist governments elsewhere, not to mention ongoing immigration/economic/currency disasters, so they'll be desperate for a victory to stop the one-way bad news and put a crimp in breakaway movements in other EU countries.

    We get a second referendum with a choice between the new deal and staying in anyway. Basically immigration as an issue taken off the table. With a backdrop of a poor economy and loads of businesses threatening to fuck off we vote to stay in.

    This seems to me at least as likely as us staying in. Maybe the EU make some small concessions on immigration as well to knock the edge off the leave vote here and elsewhere. Maybe the other odd variation, but this is something we well might see happen.

    I see nothing has actually changed, but the media is still constantly going on about the 'feelings' of the markets. It's kind of funny. I could understand it if the wheels were actually set in motion, but I am sure many are doubting it will. Only Corbyn did the right thing and said activate clause 50 immediately. He's great.

    The fact that Cameron and Osborne were trying to be Brown and Blair and pass of the being leader of the country to one another was sickening. They have hurt and disadvantaged the most vulnerable people without caring and watched many die.

    Now they are both kicked out of the cabinet and have nothing to do is just poetic justice.

    There is some justice in the world.

    That is not justice. They are war criminals and financial terrorists. At least Blair left the working poor alone. Like Blair those two should be in prison.

    Lightbulb Re: Britain vote to leave the EU

    I voted out and it seems more agreed with me than not. I'm glad we are out and we can regain our identity , I think most people who don't totally support themselves and their families voted in , those who are sick of giving hand out to migrants and dead legs voted out.
    I was out with my friend last night who is a stock broker he voted out also , he dreaded going to work to look at the markets. However after 4 hours of trading the market was better than it was the Friday before , now that my friends is a fact , not some bullshit the vote in brigade would have you believe.
    Lets make Britain great again from hard work , and lets get our ship in order , fuck Brussels and all the cunts that go with it like Neil and Glenys Kinnock for instance.
    I am sick of hearing from people who cant even support their own family without handouts , let go through the tough times and come out a better nation.
    If we have tough times they will be our tough times.
    To the in brigade , we had a democratic vote and you lost so fucking get over it.
    Democracy won in the end.

    Typical reactionary rubbish from you Al. Virtually everyone I know voted in and everyone of them support themselves and their families. Most like myself are self employed and work really frickin hard, more hours than most. Hand outs to migrants and dead legs? What does that mean.Half the country voted remain so if people are disappointed do not act so surprised and kid yourself the brexit bandwagon was some massive majority.
