No I didn't, that is just how you read it.

Conversely, you were shamelessly mocking someone who voted the other way for legitimate reasons, and because it is what they believed in.

Living up to my stereotype of the 'typical brexit voter' very well I might add.

Serious point, who is going to pick the vegetables you eat, and work on the farms for the livestock we eat now that the workers won't be here, and the subsidy the farmers get is gone.
Not immediately of course but over the next couple of years?
The trouncing the economy will take coupled with the loss of income will mean we cannot just pay for that farming subsidy from the taxpayer purse.

Expect tesco prices to slowly rise and rise.
 
I cannot believe people are celebrating the fact the world has been plunged into financial and political uncertainty. The electorate have been played for fools by some of the most untrustworthy people in British politics.

Well done Little Englanders. You've got your identity back - whatever that is.

I hope the inbound suffering to come is worth it. What a terrible day for the UK.

I had a friend tell me the EU shackles us to 27 different countries and we're alienating the rest of the world, that we must leave the EU and start growing our GDP, because "Ethiopia, India, Peru, Vietnam. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan" all has growing GDP. I don't even know how to fathom his intellect levels.

Then that is down to the Government and the Remain camp spouting nothing but fear fear fear.

Yep, we dont need to have vat at 20% any more. We can have it anything we like. Since vat was a EU thing not a UK thing.

Hahaha hahaha.

20% VAT is not an EU thing. It was 17.5% before, lowered to 15% to increase spending. Then raised to 20%.

Under EU law it cannot be lower than 15%.

Next period of UK leadership is key and I just hope the infighting is kept to a minimum & those who had the vision keep at it. We get it right, I can easily see the UK riding a wave of optimism leading ot it becoming a worldwide powerhouse.

Can't happen as soon as we give notice to quit we start a process with defined timescales that can only be paused with the agreement of every member state which I doubt we'd get without offering some serious concessions in exchange.
 
Jesus
I'm glad I took half my investments out of the stock market before this hit

This is going to be pretty awful isn't it.
There are going to be a lot of people feeling pretty silly with their vote in a months time I think

I may be wrong but I think this will be worse than the 2008 recession

This could well break up the eu. Or. Just as likely. Others see we have made a mistake and club together more.
I cant see this a good thing.


I'm actually pretty fearful of the future of the UK after this.
Will financial institutions leave?
Will there be mass emigration?

I for one am now much more open to leaving the UK.


I cant see things being better now we are out. At least in the mid term, it's going to get messy

as for financial services - yup the city could take a bit of a hit, but it will survive... plenty of other major financial centres are not in the EU either

trade is increasingly global - no reason in particular why we need to be so closely integrated to the countries that happen to be right next to us

And who's going to do all these 'no skilled' jobs that EU migrants won't be available to take up, because those people who moan about their jobs being taken previously certainly won't.

...people who want to work in those industries? Why can't people come work in those industries if we are not in the EU.

Farmers Weekly, which i read, had an EU poll a month ago, 60% leave it was.

As opposed to the brilliant 'truth' spread by the Remain campaign?

Get over yourself, both sides acted like children. Your side too.

Thats the spirit! All my savings are in Euros (I'm based in Europe). Its a little too early to definitely commit, but today I'll be kicking off the hunt for another 2 - 3 BTL properties :D

This is exactly what I'm talking about. And you friend sounds like one of the more intellectual ones (he used the acronym GDP!). All of the other halfwits that haven't been able to stop telling people how they'll vote have been banging on about immigrants and "being British!".

Well it feels good to be British with our British currency which just nose dived to the lowest point in 32 years and is expected to keep going. Maybe this is what the leavers were talking about when they were saying they wanted to bring back the good old days.
