Poll: The Official OcUK EU Referendum Exit poll (and results discussion thread)

[Concrete]

Like i just said to another poster, your now just carrying on the scaremongering that was there before the vote and now directing it to one set of people, those on benefits, the vote's over now.

You cannot possibly predict what is going to happen to people on benefits just as you can't with the people who are not.

As I said before we are all losers, those of us who earn a decent crust will be able to weather the economic storm that the good ship UK must sail through with a bit of belt tightening.

Those less fortunate don't have that luxury. 20% living cost increase might not bother you, but it will hurt some families horribly.

No, but since we're unlikely to get a left-leaning government who favour and nurture the welfare state anytime soon and more likely the opposite given recent trends, I think it's a reasonable assumption that those on benefits or low incomes are going to end up worse off.

And we're likely to lose our AAA credit rating.

they threatened that years ago before any exit was even conceivable

That is probably just how Cameron thinks along with people like you who look down their noses at people like the one's in the video you posted, working class and poor, who do you think you are?

Hasn't it been shown that those less educated and of lower social class are more likely to vote leave? If so, it's not me being judgmental, it's me being realistic.

The simple fact is that if you're uneducated you're more likely to be taken into the "blame somebody else" camp.

So?

As I said before speak for yourself.

Yes, she's Polish and looks Slavic.

Pics?

Define less educated ? surely the true definition of well educated is just a test of memorizing specific things then remembering those things to give answers to on a bit of paper.

Cautionary advice from people who understand more than you =/= scaremongering.

Oh ok.

How is leaving the EU going to help the working classes (myself included)?

The EU have provided loads of workers rights, it's because of the EU I get 28 days paid holiday and the work week is capped at 48 hours.

I can only see this being very bad for the working class, at least in the first few years.

That begs the question that if you have so little faith in your country do to the right thing by you, why are you even here? If you think the EU legislation so important to 'protect' you from your own country, and have so little faith in and loyalty to the UK, then move.

Wonder what are the chances for the new living wage to be scrappe now.

So?

so it's just more scaremongering from people who are salty as they have lost money

That's actually from the FT

But never mind eh, we've forced people to take a look at themselves and decide that squeezing the countries finances harder over the next few years will work out better in the long run. Even though we weren't really back on our feet from 2008.

Let's see if it works out

Hopefully you all have fixed rate mortgages

One thing I'm kind of happy about right now.


Still, that pipe dream application for transfer to the aussie or nz forces has come back to the forefront of my mind again

 

[Tosno]

Pics?

 

[TwsT]

Y'all have to live with it but that doesn't mean you have to agree with it.

I'm glumly optimistic, i do feel we would have been better off in and voted as such. The over reacting has been humorous tbh. But I'll reserve the i told you so for a bit. For now rubbish dollar rate will impact computer part costs something we'll all have to deal with too.

Because I was born here and am English?
She came to the UK in 2007 when her boyfriend came to study at Oxford. She got a good job off the back of her economics masters degree and so stayed when her relationship failed.

But equally she was born there. We have this amazing thing where we can go anywhere in Europe to live and work. It's a beautiful country, low house prices etc. I would have thought you'd jump at the chance?

 

[n111ck]

I reckon in 5-10 years we will look back at see this as another example of Britain saving Europe from itself. Again.

At least we've put a stop to economic migration, by making the pound worthless.

define less educated ? education is just a test of memorizing specific things then remembering those thing to give answers to on a bit of paper

Your inability to use correct grammar and spell "memorising" could indicate a lack of education.

Education is not about a memory test. It's about broadening your horizons, developing yourself and learning how things work.

Clearly you had a bad relationship with the UK education system? Plenty of people do, but I think you're wrong

I got it from the Guardian and all over Twitter, but correct it was originally a commentator on the FT.
