What about the 40.1% of people in London who did vote Leave?

I'm not sure I get your point - they were outvoted. I'm sure you'll agree with me on this, but London still has it's fair share of idiots (who didn't really comprehend the fall out) ;)

Don't worry. You will get contracts from China, India and other developing countries tens of thousands of miles away.

edit:

I hope you're not lying though.

The general public are stupid.

They would much rather watch whether Rhianna bleached her roots than David Cameron talk on EU legislations (yes I know that isn't a test for intelligence). They simply don't understand the wider consequence.

You are now talking BS

Your are generalising.

Just stop it.

The overall cost of borrowing will increase as our currency weakens - the cost of borrowing will outgrow a .25% or .5% decrease in interest rates. Cost of paying mortgages is almost certainly going to go up. How much, that's a key question and having a nice big mortgage myself I'm fully hoping any rise will be minor.

I have a Mortgage myself, but I made sure we had plenty of room for a rise in interest rates so we bought a slightly less expensive house than we could've done with the intention of putting money into it

Not at all. I think they'll be screwed even worse than before. British voters have somehow been persuaded to vote against their own interests. It's fascinating to watch, in a slow-motion-car-crash sort of way.

Contracts from the National Front and neo-Nazis don't count.

I could, but I wont - not worth the hassle.
 
I'm astonished people are wanting a second referendum, completely missing the point of a democratic society.

And that's not limited to the currently devastated Remain camp, Leave would have been doing the same if we'd elected to stay in, though it'd be much easier to brush under the carpet as nothing much would have changed.

Now, change is coming. We all have to accept it, dividing England (nevermind the UK itself) won't help any of us.

The German car industry are the biggest lobbiests in Brussels. They sell around £1bn to us a year. There's no way they're going to let the EU impose anything on us that will affect their business with us. Anything that does will mean job losses in Germany, meaning Merkel won't get re-elected. There's no way she'll let that happen either. What will probably happen is that for the zero tarriffs on car sales, the deal the other way will be tarriff free trading.

If saving the EU means the German automobile taking a hit, then this is what will happen. The ECB and german central banks will cut a deal with German industry to ensure that the foundation of the EU is preserved above the finances of a single manufacturing sector. People are overplaying the importance they believe the UK's love with German automobiles will have when the alternative is the demise of the EU. It simply will not be allowed to happen unless the entire EU puts its hands up and says the party is over.

Which law is that?

I'm pretty sure unless you have an agreed contract, you can choose who to work with as long you don't discriminate on gender, race etc..

Irrespective of the way people voted, the only people who seem "mad" with people who voted Leave seem to be young, social media-type millennials. That's a shame, and I certainly hope they move the Acceptance stage of bad news soon. Someone - Jeremy Corbyn perhaps - ought to reach out and put a bit of perspective on things.

I wonder if Labour coming out early and saying something like: "We respect the result of the referendum and will support the process to Brexit. Our analysis shows the best option for Britain now is to join the EEA and we will pursue that option" will play to their advantage a bit. Instead though, they're fighting a civil war in their own party :rolleyes:

This isn't split along any kind of party line, we are in an era of two new opposing demographics now, and the parties will either shift to embrace them or new parties will be created.

No ones giving perspective, because they either don't want to say "I told you so", or they don't want to continuing pressing lies that aren't going to happen.
