Heading into the city this morning, will be interesting to walk the floors and get a feel for it today.

People need to be more optimistic. Who better to look after our interests than us? Too many people have tried to do down this country, the same country that has shaped the way the modern world is today. We have a lot of brilliant hard working people and in or out of the EU we've embraced those from abroad that want to help make Britain great. I can only see that continuing and going from strength to strength.

Exactly. This is the greatest of countries. We can only go on to succeed.

"Nothing has actually changed overnight"

Check the pound price and the ftse opening.
We're dead.

Lol people short selling Sterling. I know one person that has made £600k doing that. It will soon stabilise.

tbf, all any FB user has had to listen to over the passed 2 months is Vote Leave people spouting crap about how they want to make Great Britain great again and other meaningless soundbites.

Guess I was lucky. None of my friends were vocally leave (but the majority are probably remain).

Behave. No we aren't. The financial markets are volatile, they have survived countless wars and disasters. They'll settle back.

Good. The sooner this whole Euro thing collapses and leaves each country for their own, the better.

+1 completely agree.

Not a chance, no. Our very justifiable fear (from past events and current stance/rhetoric from the Spanish Government) is a Border Closure/restriction, which Spain can (and most probably will) apply with no issue.

Ironically the EU has done more to defend us than the UK has, certainly in my lifetime.

not good.

Marie le Pen calling for a Referendum for France to leave the EU. And so it begins...

Farage: June 23rd must become a national bank holiday and it will be called Independence Day

Too soon, some people woke up and now feeling like this today

Life in Gibraltar just took a turn for the worse. Massively disappointing to say the least.

Someone said EU protected Gibraltar from Spain embargos ?

How does that make any sense?

I imagine Caged is speaking about the complete half truths, made up facts and other rubbish that has come out during this campaign, even from friends and colleagues. The amount of facepalms I've done over the passed 2 months has been off the scale.

Had everyone sat down, done some research themselves instead of being fed crap by newspapers and politicians with an axe to grind, the result would undoubtedly be VERY different.

Exactly. If you spend three decades telling people via the press that the reason why they have issues is the fault of the EU and turning education into a test-passing exercise so people aren't able to critically evaluate what they are presented with then you get people voting against their own self-interest. I don't doubt that people feel immigration or sovereignty are issues, but they are misguided, and the actual problems have a root cause in the policies of successive governments and their failure to address them.

UK headed for the 'world's first DIY recession'
Richard Buxton, head of UK equities and chief executive of Old Mutual Global Investors, predicts that the UK will fall into a recession that it has brought upon itself, echoing previous comments from the Chancellor who warned last month that a leave would vote result in a year-long “DIY recession” for Britain.

Haha. I like that headline

Yh I work in Canary Wharf, I don't think there's going to be much cheer around the office.

Although if hubris were a currency we'd be pretty sorted.

So do I. I suspect my colleagues will (mostly) be fine.

Ahh great idea, implement a rule after the fact .

The uncertainty now following this vote is going to absolutely tank GDP growth. Foreign Direct Investment in the short term is bound to fall and capital flight from the UK is probably going to start soon once the Big money wakes up. It's going to be a tough few years, I really hope the vulnerable people who voted leave appreciate that the potential for a better future isn't going to happen any time soon.

The pound is already tanking, even before any serious trading has opened. Businesses will certainly be looking to leave if the UK has an uncertain short term future and some will probably never return.

 

[McPhee]

Nah should be 24th as its a Friday so longer weekend. Besides we didn't know the result until the Friday.

Um...

June 24th isn't a Friday every year.

If you want to blame anyone, blame the EU for their desperately increasing political union that did not want to listen.

The union was so out of touch.

It expanded too quickly, not all countries were on an even footing, it was never going to work with a half a dozen rich countries and 20 odd poor ones.
