Jesus, full on flash back to the IndyRef, the backlash from that made me embarrassed to call myself Scottish.
At the moment there is so much bile, hatred, massive over reaction, people on the internet acting like we have just pushed the kill switch on a puppy/kitten sanctuary, there are more dummys and toys on the floor than there were remain voters.

I've spent the day reading watching and listening to people so much spout absolute crap.
this pretty much sums up my feeling at the moment.

The truth of the matter is, we are moving into unknown territory, nobody knows how the pieces will settle, of course there is going to be a little financial nerves in the markets, I fully expect there to be little noticeable change when it all calms down.

Once thing to think about. Change is good, change is a force that inspires the best in us, forces us to push through and become stronger, embrace the change, lets come out of this better and stronger than we were, we need to stop turning on each other and move forward, the sooner we realise this the better.

Not all changes are good, tell that to the Jews when Hitler came into power.

All the remainers just can't understand things not going their way, and the frustration theyre feeling now is completely new to them.

Well, the UK's future has just been decided by a bunch of unelected people. Which, ironically, is the very thing that the Leave mob were complaining about...
 
Thing is no one knows what is behind the corner as it takes years. We need days/weeks to sink everything in and then for the negotiations start bearing in mind that EU will need UK as well not like only we need stuff from EU.

We didn't anyway which is why we took hardly any.

Except that we did allow them to dictate to us because we had to and yes we took less than other countries but we'd take even less had we not had to bow down to the pressures of the EU.
 
I am 30, birthday was today (June 24) and first time voting - this was something I felt strongly about and I voted Leave.

Amazing. 30 years old and never voted until this.

This is what bothers me most. My GF ran one of the polling stations. She said that many of the leave voters hadn't voted before now, despite not being all that young. They weren't bothered about their country politics before, why so much so now?

It took a nose dive immediately after joining the EU and has been in an almost constant state of recession and borrowing ever since.
Overall market crashes causing dips. Holding steady growth overall, though. Certainly no 'nosedive' or the entire line after 1973 would be in the negative.

so you think the French authorities will actually try and stop them from coming to the UK now ?

I wouldn't be suprised if in some dark corridor of the EU building that someone hasn't already sent out some instructions to the French border guards to start taking "extended lunch breaks" .

parts of Kent are going to look like a frigging war zone over the next 18 months

Over reacting. Germany should be worried about turkey letting the immigrants go back.

I'm hoping that the truck drivers start using large chains to seal up their wagons.

Oh and don't forget that Cameron was letting over 100 come in a day from the jungle.

You've been asked to stop referring to immigrants by derogatory names before, please heed the warning.

LOL so weird. The unelected people who decided are the people and yes we're unelected but the referendum itself is an election you don't understand democracy?
 
There's a local in my pub, mid to late 50's whose life experience is a bricky and whose exposure to Europe is a bi-annual trip to resorts in Spain. He gets all his opinions from the Star/Sun and spends most his spare time ranting about people taking his job (despite him always seeming to have work on)

Is this the life experience we are talking about?

I have had this argument many times in the past, age does not equal wisdom or experience. Getting out there and experiencing life does and I would suggest that younger generations (sub 40) generally have better life experience due to the broader travel options that were not always available to an older generation.

I agree, I'm under 40 and I've spent the majority of my life as a British minority working in a foreign work place, majority of my friends have been foreign and it does make you think differently, I couldn't imagine this place without them, the relationships they have formed, children that now exist here that otherwise wouldn't.
