Caporegime
I think people are forgetting that we haven't actually left yet.
Indeed. We've insulted a lot of countries in the EU who considered us friends or at least good allies. Hurt them by sticking two fingers up at them, by making it sound like the EU is some terrible organization (even if we don't agree wih everything it does, the EU is still trying to do the best for all its members). Add to this abusing their countrymen living amongst us and treating their contribution to the UK like **** (most immigrants here work hard and contribute). Also by destablizing the EU with such a clumsy and chaotic exit (if we were going to go we should have done so with a proper plan, to not do so is an insult to everyone).
All in all we're behaving very un-British, which is ironic given the whole angle of the Leave campaign was to free to be more British. I guess we're just showing our true colours as a nation, which is deeply sad.
If Bo or May can survive in the hot-seat for more than 18 months after Brexit, colour me surprised.
Agreed. Poland of all places was a close friend and ally of the UK. They will be seriously hurt and slightly embarrassed that Britain, has in large part decided to leave (and destabilize) the whole of the EU because it's citizens were simply exercising their right to live and work in the UK.. which is something we willingly agreed to when they joined.
All it says about the UK is, we hate you so much, we're willing to put our entire Economic security on the line to stop any more of you coming in.
You don't really get much more insulting than that.
Poland still is a close ally, this is all rather bizare - leaving the EU doesn't stop us from being allies and this was much more than just Polish people living in the UK

With refection, it will become more apparent just how syndical the leave campaign has been. It's the privileged elite, taking advantage of the disaffected poor, for their own ends.
The media and politicians in cahoots.
GBP expected to fall to 1.2 to the USD, a start if a recession looks extremely likely now.
Well done brexit items, you should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves for ruining Britian.
Yes, so you keep saying. Everything will be fine. Ok...

erm no the elite were mostly on the side of remain... the big global companies, FTSE 100 index bosses, Goldman Sachs and assorted other banks, the US President, the UK government
you've got to wait until London starts trading really, it has opened lower in Asia but it hasn't then made a big move... frankly it could bounce all over the place on low volume.
Need to wait and see what speeches/press releases etc.. go out tomorrow morning - Osborne saying some nice things and/or some good statement from a significant EU/German figure could just as easily see it change course.
