I deny that completely.
And the remain side by conspicuous money and an establishment no one likes anymore.
There is literally no point in putting blame on racists as the vote is concluded.
Welp, they didn't bloody vote did they.
They get no voice, sucks doesn't it... when apathy actually loses you your desired outcome...
You didn't see the poll on here yesterday morning then. Remain was infront of leave until it got closed.
and where exactly are they going to trade once they lose access to the free single market ? Yes it likely means that they will get to sell everything or at least most of it in the UK, but that will come with a price hike for the consumers. People need to think this through properly. The cost of living is going to get a whole lot higher whilst the wages are not going to scale with it.
There is a reason a lot of stores import their goods from the EU, it's because they were cheaper and could invariably be sold to the consumer for a much more reasonable price. When that gets reversed and peoples wages are still in the basement I want to know what the plan is to stop this country going over the edge. Thus far no one has got a clue and the rubbish that the leave campaign have spouted about "of course we will retain access to the single market" comes with absolutely no proof whatsoever. Thus the UK has effectively sold its arse down the river and now doesn't have a boat to get back.

I don't think anyone can deny that your opinion is your own.
I do think that xenophobic propaganda was used, but I don't think racism was necessarily a large motivator for the result.

Well this debate came about because of immigration right? Well UKIP and Farage have shown themselves time and time again to attract vocally racist people.
I am not saying that all leave voters are racist. What I am saying is that people who hate immigrants because they're foreign, are more likely to have voted leave.
In any case, there will be no benefits whatsoever of us leaving the EU. Nobody has been able to say what we will get as a result of leaving, that hasn't been debunked.
This Referendum actually makes me ashamed to be British. We don't look at facts, we look at who we can tell to **** off the most loudly. That is what this referendum has come to.

Yep - I'd have thought, with things like this in mind, that the EU should have conceded more ground during the negotiations.
Morons...
Well certainly not all people that voted leave are racist. But I don't think it'd be a stretch to say a lot of racists would have voted leave. Not the same thing sure, but I wouldn't be comfortable in that company.
This should have rested with the elected MPs and not the general populace. Want out? Vote for an MP who shares the view in the GE. Simple. If the country makes a massive mistake it can correct that at the next election. This once in a generation thing is a nonsense that can't be taken back.
I just don't see the upside to leaving? EU flounders and collapses because of this Britain will follow suit. Europe is our biggest trading partner - there's no getting around this. New trade deals with other countries? Well, nothing was really stopping those before.
If EU doesn't flounder people are saying they need us to trade with as much as we need them... really? There's nothing stopping them giving Britain a short shrift punitive new deal when it comes to dealing with them. We'll be worse off and have zero ability to influence or change things.
Why would they do anything else? If anything, Britain floundering will discourage other EU countries from following suit. We'll have to bend over and accept it.
All the 'silly' laws will still need to be abided by if we want to sell to them and anything we buy through Europe will be subject to them so no change there then. Only once again we'll have no say in them from now on.
British Union could seriously unravel within the next 10/15 years with Scotland leaving - they after all wanted to remain in EU and voted accordingly so nationalists have all the ammo they need to sway what was a close vote last time their way. Once that happens being 'British' won't mean as much which will certainly be picked up upon by folk in Northern Ireland who'll be watching what happens now in Scotland with a lot of interest. Census showing growth in Catholic population in the north so wouldn't be long for a referendum on a united Ireland.
This'll undoubtedly lead to unrest. But that's ok, will have already put those border posts back up that took a lot of time, blood and money to get rid of the first time round to monitor the only land border with the EU.
If the EU does fracture imagine all the bureaucracy required for dealing with 28+ countries and what it will entail. Boy, wouldn't it be nice if we all had a single framework to work under with laws to protect all it's citizens that allowed free movement so we could work where and when we wanted? Wouldn't that be nice?
I just don't see how a fractured divided Europe is good for anyone in the long run? Because that state of affairs always works out well...
Very narrow small minded decision.
I truly hope I'm very wrong.
Any bets on a snap election being called with a labour/lib dem pledge of remaining in their manifesto?! Heck most tories wanted to stay in too but their next leader will have to be a Brexiter.
I was expecting lots of shouting and panic this morning when I got into work. Turned out to be an anticlimax.
GBP/USD hit is a bit of a pain though. Bang goes the purchase of a shiny new toy.
Ooooh... there's a bruise that's gonna linger, no question!
Poor old Farage never dreamed he'd be called to deliver on a wildly populist promise. Reality just hit him in the face like a brick!
& coming from a vote leaver, I hope that brick keeps on hitting him in the face until there is nothing left.
Denied, immigration formed about 10% of my reasons for voting leave. Quite low motivation really, and for a lot of people I know too
Anyway, we won
chill out you remain voters, or go find a dictatorship. Like it or lump it (but please continue ranting because it's really fun!)... i know it's painful when you're on the losing side, but we're all ultimately on the winning side anyway

We will, the only ones who believe we're better in the UK are the ones who originally voted no and voted to leave the UK. I almost forgot to add the Orange bigots too.
To anyone with a sensible head on their shoulders it makes absolutely no sense to remain part of a Union where our democratic wish is diminished and overruled by the rest of the UK. No matter how you voted you should be able to see this.. If you really gave a toss about the future of Scotland you will.
