Scotland look likely to have another referendum and may well leave the UK
Apart from a border between us and Scotland it will mean a permanent Tory government and all the people who have been leading the Leave campaign have at some point supported scrapping the NHS and replacing it with the American model.
The pound is plunging.
(that 1080 or 1070 you were planning on will suddenly cost more for one thing)
No-one can invest in our country as we have no idea how big our market is.
Billions are being wiped off the stock market.
The banks are being hit heavily and they contribute about 13% of our tax revenue.
The bank of England has made £250 billion available to the banks for liquidity
That's £250 billion of real money - how many years would that have paid our EU budget.
It's hard not to be extremely angry about the financial mess our country is now in, how much poorer we all are but no-one's noticed it yet, how we've given up one of the strongest positions and economies in Europe and left ourselves in a much weaker position.
There should have been a 'don't know/don't feel qualified to make that decision' box to tick.
But those who weren't sure and voted Leave anyway - why were you so willing to take such a huge risk on everyone else's future rather than taking a gamble on your own - such as leaving your own job then trying to get it back but for more money, less responsibilities and none of the things you don't like?

Then they are idiots. Most polls had this as an extremely close call. Floating around 50/50...

It's also bloody true
BECAUSE ENGLAND RULE BRITTANIA ETC!!
Labour were all about in, so surely we now are voting UKIP or perhaps old school conservative led by Boris.
Parties which will shaft most of what those voting out want (better and fairer public services)
I will find it hugely amusing if we now vote Labour.

Mark Carney suddenly seems more upbeat than he did. Strange that.
"The Bank of England has consistently strengthened over the last seven years.
The capital requirements of our largest banks are now ten times higher than before the crisis.
The Bank of England has stress tested them against scenarios more severe than the country currently faces.
As a result of these actions, UK banks have raised over £130bn of capital, and now have more than £600bn of high quality liquid assets.
Why does this matter?
This substantial capital and huge liquidity gives banks the flexibility they need to continue to lend to UK businesses and households, even during challenging times.
Moreover, as a backstop, and to support the functioning of markets, the Bank of England stands ready to provide more than £250bn of additional funds through its normal facilities.
The Bank of England is also able to provide substantial liquidity in foreign currency, if required"

It's his job to be. He needs to regain confidence of the markets to slow the instability.

I'm aware of that. What I'm saying is that, taking free movement out of the equation doesn't mean other European countries, whether members of the EU, EFTA, or neither, will automatically decide to block people moving there. They might, but there's no way to know for sure.
All of this "my children can never go and live abroad" is ridiculous scaremongering.
Really? I think his comments are quite fair actually.
That's exactly what is happening right now if you have any kind of insight/exposure to the markets.
One last time... Farage already stated last month that he would call for a re-vote if leave had lost by a small margin.

..and Scotland were always going to have another referendum if we voted to leave...
Except that it's not though!

The may be, but they have to be, this is what is happening right now. What may happen in the long term is pointless if we don't sort the negative issues in the short term.
