If the amount you owe is for some reason in euros you would be paying more.
If the amount is in pounds you carry on.

Osborne came out today and said they were fully prepared for what has happened, if Cameron doesn't have a solid timeline of events planned out then that's not Leave's fault, it's his as Prime Minister.
Only the far right want referendums?
Oh so because it has been around for 40 years and Turkey, Croatia, Serbia and Kosovo wants to join it's all going well? Why do you think those countries would like to join?
Think the vast majority in Southern Europe would disagree that the EU is going well. A long with majority of the UK (who could be bothered to vote).
supposed to be what happens next but yet again its the blame circle jerk that we had in the referendum thread.
You'll be able to get the best staff now internationally, not just from within Europe. We'll be able to let in more people from the rest of the world.
Although his idealistic view is admirable, it is unrealistic. Your view of a strong position outside of EU on the world stage is simply delusional.
But blaming the Government isn't a plan for getting out of this mess either. It doesn't matter who's fault it was right now - the point was that there is nothing to be optimistic about because nobody has put forward any idea of what is happening next.
Bankers make money if it goes up or down, they just need to "guess" the right way.
Helluva a business to be in.

It isn't short term though it is medium term loss and you then have to deal with the problems for that term(decades). Then you just reach the starting point for the new reality.
Yes, I was happy with the way things are here. I was also happy with most of the EU policy making (not all, but then I'm not in favour of all of the UK government policymaking either - no one could ever be) and would be in favour of further integration.
My outlook (as someone who runs their own business employing 25 people and generating a reasonable amount of VAT, NI, corporation and personal tax) is that we flourish more when we are a group of countries working to a common interest. It IS our responsibility to help countries poorer than ourselves to try and spread wealth more evenly - it's the right thing to do.
People keep saying we have such a strong economy and Europe needs us...well yes that is true, but we built that economy as part of the EU so it hasn't harmed us has it?
Now personally a recession won't really affect me. We started this business in 2008, right in the middle of the last one. We're in a sector (digital marketing and advertising) that clients if anything need to spend more on to get through a recession. So we'll probably make more money, but feel desperately sad about it.
Croatia are already in the EU.

You are starting to sound like Chris Evans. FACT!
I was wondering if anyone else shared my opinion on this. Good stuff.
I do as well...
At least Chris Evans, as hateful as he is, doesn't talk complete tosh *all* of the time.
(admittedly because he is fed lines to say, but still)

So the people who said that Boris was only fronting the Leave campaign for publicity reasons to get him into no. 10 look to be right after all.
Boris and co need to come out and say something a bit more detailed than they are at the moment, they aren't helping matters...

Geoffrey Robinson has written an article calling on people to lobby their MP to vote Brexit down. It would be bitterly ironic if Parliament demonstrated its sovereignty by voting down Brexit after all the blather from Leavers about sovereignty.
I do as well...
Yup
There is a reason for that - infact some foreign entities are lining up to make sure we have good access to credit heh - it works in their favour in the long run either way - either we bounce back or they can gut the country of what wealth it does have.
Indeed the yare, D'oh,
