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.

Why would EU countries be super chilled and happy to have anyone from the UK coming over if we have told them to **** off and closed our borders big time to European immigrants?

Again there seems to be this attitude that we can have our cake and eat it. That we can just sack of the free movement and EU laws and our obligations but not face any of the consequences or not lose any of our rights. It worries me that a lot of leave voters probably felt the same way.

She's the most talented and competent politican the UK has. South of the border you're never going to get the information to show this, why would it be good for England to see the success of a politician who wasn't born in England. The spin of the truth on this is nothing short of staggering.
 
England: 'We want to leave the EU!'
EU: 'OK, you can if you want to.'
Scotland, Ireland & Wales: 'We don't want to leave!'
England: 'Bad luck, I'm taking you with me whether you like it or not.'

Time passes...

Scotland: 'We want to leave the UK.'
England: 'No, you're not allowed to.'
Ireland & Wales: 'We want to leave too!'
England: 'Bad luck, you're all staying with me whether you like it or not.'

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.

Markets would have reacted violently to any decision. Maybe not as bad if it was a remain victory.

Getting emotive over markets hours after a massive announcement is short sighted. Let the dust settle and see what it's like. After all the pound was weaker against the Euro back in April this year....

Are there any actual sources for Farage or Boris claiming that "all" of that £350mil would go to the NHS rather than just pumping some more cash back in?

You mean this bus that they've been parading around in? It certainly gives you the idea that all £350 million would go to the NHS if we leave.

For starters, the number of people migrating in either direction will play a part.
 
Its a bit ridiculous everyone losing thier **** over the events of the first few hours.


Go grab a beer sit in the sun things will be much more back to normal by tomorrow.

Ftse has already rose back up to only a 4% dip and is showing steady slow growth.

The pound has jumped back up with the boe promises and looks set to slowly rise again.


There has been a huge smount of speculating going on which is going to screw with prices a little bit.

Gontake a break and come back and then think if youd be acreaming like a girl about what the situation is in a few days

The markets are kneejerking over a very raw vote right now.

It's not a knee jerk reaction. Markets are adverse to risk, risk is bad and creates uncertainly. There will most likely be days of this. The US markets haven't even opened yet.

I work for a company selling risk products to financial institutions, you wouldn't believe how much of these feeds and products we have sold. Every financial institution has been modelling risk based on events such as Brexit for a long term.

This isn't a short term problem, investors are running scared as know one knows what happens next.

The possibility of leave has already been factored in big time for months and months.

If we voted to remain forecasts were that we would be going over 1.35gbp to eur and over 1.55 GBP to USD. That is what you should be comparing this to and not what it was in the run up ( as a lot of the risk was already factored).

I was thinking about this earlier, there must be a lot of people who didn't vote with an informed opinion getting caught up in this and voting one way or the other.

Perhaps it would be interesting to see what the outcome would be if the referendum was rerun with people now knowing for a fact what an uncertain future we face?

I was in Scotland during the referendum. So many people I knew initially got overwhelmed with patriotic feelings and were saying they were gonna vote yes to independence. However, as the date was closing in people saw some sense, thought about the future of their children, disregarded personal feeling and selfishness and voted no.

Being part of the EU was a major part of the propaganda to vote against independence. Many of them feel betrayed and cheated today. Scotland will leave the UK for sure.

It's a shame the english couldn't do the same but I'm not surprised to be honest.

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"

Exactly, he's hardly going to come out and say "WE'RE DOOMED", even if we are.
