Which is exactly the problem with it. 17 million people have spoken one way, 16 million have spoken the other way, and some have not bothered to speak at all.
The masses have spoken - and it wasn't a clear result at all.

That depends entirely on how much you're spending, and whether your profit margins can sustain the increase.
It's not a massive issue from a personal perspective (though £70 odd quid on a £200 grand holiday for instance isn't overly welcome), but from a business point of view it's potentially significant.

The Tories will pick that clown Boris. With Gove as Chancellor. Scary times.
Which should scare people more than it seems to be - political commentators have been saying how this referendum has seen Gove change when infact what they aren't recognising is that it is not change but a glimpse of what is really behind the mask.

We'll never know for sure as LB were the leading party for years. Maybe the conservatives would have done something earliier. LB still pi$$ed away our money, giving handout to all that asked, breeding a benefits culture. Bush and Blair the crims too.
You are forgetting it was Thatcher who removed controls that were put in place after 1929 to ensure it would not happen again. Cameron is quoted in Hansard as saying there should be fewer controls, so no the Tories had the luck of not being in the driving seat when the proverbial hit the fan.
If you're on 2k a month it's like someone picking £70 out of your pocket, if the rate stayed just the same it was when the 10pm poll result suggested remain you'd have the effect of an extra £80 in your pocket.
A gap of £150 a month. Meaningless?
Then you have to factor in the uncertainty and that the weaker currency will also have its own influence on prices combined with the actual difference - many companies are going to be looking at for instance stuff where they are dealing with dollars costing them quite a bit more now than just the percentage difference which will likely push a good few into the ground if thing don't bounce back quickly.

Boris also qualifies to be president of the USA, he's still on to do that terrifying double. Being that Trump has got as far as he has, it doesn't seem so far fetched.
I'm honestly not sure what would happen if he did put his hat in the ring for the US presidency - there is a not insignificant number who'd take almost any option to Hillary or Trump and not likely to vote Sanders either.

The next leader options are scary , real scary ... BoJo, Leadsom or May.... Dooms day is real sheeple!
People lost their minds with public sector cuts Cameron put in place. The likes of Boris, Gove, Morgan, May being potential PM is so worrying. Depending who Boris has next to him would be troublesome but Gove or May as PM makes me feel sick.

Brexit and Cameron out shortly.
Could today get any better?

I've never had a good opinion of Gove - was just talking to my mum and turns out one of her friends actually works with Gove and she says he says he is actually a very nice person heh weird. (Also says that Gove and Cameron's families are very close and despite whatever the public image is behind the scenes they will actually be closely aligned).

My day is a mixture of elations and wincing, Corbyn going will be great aslong as it isn't someone worse... one way or another there is gonna be some pain down the road though.
