    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.

    The shares and pound are back to where they were before the referendum.

    Panic over.

    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.

    It will get there eventually. Have we had world war 3? NO!

    Boris has now announced he will not stand for leadership, I bet Cameron must want to strangle the fat blond buffoon.

    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.

    You are right just found out they were paid hundreds of thousands of pounds in severance pay.
