[Bluntwrapped]

Aye, crazy. Who's going to suffer? The Welsh.

Lol so sad but true.

Some people are making the assumption that other European countries won't want British people moving there and will actively try and stop them. There's no evidence of this.

No but it won't be an automatic right it will be up to the country in question if they want you and will inevitably mean some sort of system and paperwork. If we impose a points based system on the whole of the EU expect similar in return it's standard practice.

 

[Seanspeed]

As opposed to getting on your knees blindfolded for Brussels.

How is it blindfolded when we have an active participation in what goes on?

My mum was/is intending to retire in the EU wonder how this will effect her? Was hoping to follow her within the next 5 years and start a business there, have a feeling this going to make it a lot more difficult, this is areal pain the backside for me.

To be safe, you now have 2 years to make that happen. The clock starts soon if not now.

 

[Bluntwrapped]

Wales voted leave thanks dont include us in with the dross that is scotland and ireland

This seems so daft I'm not sure if you're serious or taking the ****.

 

[Rilot]

I wonder what the ramification will be for Northern Ireland. They voted to remain.
Will they put their religious differences aside and join the Republic of Ireland?

 

[Adam]

All eyes on the US markets when they open, could be an almighty sell off. Could end up much worse before it gets better.

 

[Stretch]

It seems we've been voted out by a bunch of 60+ers, who feel threatened by immigration because "they're taking our jobs".

The same people who expected the rest of the working age population to pay their triple locked pension.

There is so much irony in the result it's untrue.

if the economy struggles, and they maintain the triple lock, I predict a riot.

 

[balky12]

Again, factoring in the risk of a brexit...

But why is the world ending now, when it was a similar rate in April? In April we might have been exiting. Now we are?

I say let the day close out and see where the markets are. Better still give it a week...

Of course it will. In fact it will probably be very difficult just to decide you want to retire in France/Italy/Spain etc.

 

[Cleisthenes]

Hahaha

I certainly agree that she's up with the best, from what I've seen anyway

 

[Semple]

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 problem is the markets are still miles down on where they were pre-referendum announcement - not yesterday, back many months ago before the government decided to give everyone the choice on our EU membership.

Back then we were starting to thrive as a country. I can't see it returning to those levels for many many years to come.

"Only down 4%" - Some of the biggest companies that are held in pensions are down 20%+ today.

It's only being made better by a couple of gold companies being up as they are being hedged.

GBPUSD is down 5.5% as I speak, the 1 minute chart shows a decline over the past hours or so.

This is an awful situation, I don't think you can comprehend just how bad this is.

What happens next? Our financial institutions move their workers to other countries in the EU. We lose out on huge amounts of tax revenues, who plugs the gap?

Look at it again in a week or two and I'm sure it wont be half as bad. Markets hate uncertainty. Once the shock is over it'll be business as usual

 

[squerble]

To be safe, you now have 2 years to make that happen. The clock starts soon if not now.

Clock starts in a few months when the Article 50 is submitted by Cameron's successor. We haven't officially told the EU we're going to leave yet.

Nope.

The world isn't ending, the UK is just a lot poorer.

Err no, I am a 27 year old software engineer and everyone I know has voted out inside and outside of work.

What happens next is things stabilise and grt back to normal.

100 of billions was gambled last night it will take time to settle but as much as people on here seem to want it to turn into the end of the world jerk off fantasy theyve had since highschool its just not going to happen.

Might be a dodgy few years till everything is negotiated but so what.

Its a few years weighed against the next few decades.

Indeed, they were good times. 1.6+ GBP to USD and 1.4+ GBP to EUR.

That is probably where it would still be without all this referendum nonsense.
