UK economy is likely to grow faster than most of the EU regardless of whether we're in or out and frankly being out might well encourage a greater % of trade with the wider world and less ties with the absolute time bomb of a problem the EU is going to have in Southern Europe... I'm so glad we've had this result even if it is partly on the back of Xenophobic UKIP types... People are mostly panicking about the short term implications.

Firstly, no it wont grow faster, not when big business will set up in the EU and not the UK for their own economic interests. The smaller business in the UK right now that rely on trading or buying from the EU will have to raise prices which is likely to cause many of them to struggle.

How on earth people think the UK and its small population can demand better trade deals that a block the size of the EU single market is beyond me.

Would I like to see the UK do well from this, of course. Is it likely to ruin a lot of businesses and lives for a long time before it even looks like UK starts to get stronger again, of course.

Its not all about living costs.

Hopefully there is a second referendum, or the government reject the results and negotiate a new EU deal off of the back of it.

So you want to move to a country that doesn't yet have all the problems the EU creates.

As it's going to take 2 years of preparation before we actually leave, do all the bad things we were warned of (economy, recession, job losses, etc) start now or in two years?

Yes.

Think it probably starts now and depending how we get screwed in the exit deal could get worse or could get better near the end.

Rather worrying time. I await to see these big companies that spoke out on remaining to see what they're actually going to do.

Depends on how soon London's money leaves. It won't hang around.
 
I thought the forum polls were heavily skewed to the right and it would be the remain that would take it by a fair few percent, genuinely surprised.

That'll be clever, go to a country with higher living costs.

Lol, how much do you think all our electronic goods are going to rise by now, in fact anything we import will be up twenty percent over the next year.
Recession on the way.
If we get a knock on effect throughout europe, then it'll be utterly messy.

Norn iron, in april expected to be 70% remain, the leaver pre election hoped for 38% of the vote, they ended up with 44%.
Dup did their job, got people out to vote leave.

Now we await a border with the south again, utterly messy indeed.


Now we need a strong government, a united gov from all sides, to get us the best deals across the world and in europe now.
Devisive farage needs shot right now, take the result, shoot him, then negotiate strony rather than have him slobber all over the place for the next number of weeks further weakening Britian.

Come say hi! :D

I'm now going to be pushing of my other half to apply for her German Passport in case we ever decide to try and work in Europe now.

(unless there is some jiggery pokery in the negotiations - we aren't going to have any type of free movement). It'll be interesting to know how many Brits have/will lose their jobs in Europe now.
