North of The Wall - youll need your vest

Last post on the other one was...

"Little Englanders have voted with their feet now they will become even smaller and more insignificant in the world without the backing of other parts of the now probable defunctUnited Kingdom. God bless England and all who sink with her. "

Meh! Heard it all before, what abuse are you going to throw at the Welsh? None I bet! There is no need for such bitterness because of conflict centuries ago. It went to a Public vote and the decision is made wether we like it or not. That is called democracy. We all knew yesterday was coming for years, and you had your chance to get out and you didn't. Oh by the way that's called democracy too

17m vote out

16m vote in

13m don't vote

Yes, I know it's the same story with all elections but did those 13m have an opinion? If so did they not vote because they thought (like the bookies) it was a foregone conclusion for 'remain' to win?

If they didn't have an opinion, fair enough, but if they did and didn't exercise it what are they thinking today?

Chances are the split of the 13m would be roughly the same as the 33m who did vote, but in a simple 'yes/no' vote it makes you wonder what it might have been.

The British People voted and by clear majority voted to Leave the EU

common sense came through after weeks of nonsense and Lies from David Cameron.

David Cameron ended his Career on confirming another Lie as he resigned

as 2 weeks previous on the Sunday Andrew Marr show, he promised the British public that regardless of the vote, he would stay on as PM and honour the will of the people

Just have to get rid of Osborne now, a true snake in the grass

those positions being moved may not all be the speculating risk taker types, could be admin etc also..

and 2000 members of a major finance company will have a knock on effect to the local economy and the treasury..

That's fair enough logic. I wasn't saying that it would have a massive swing one way or the other, just wondering what the thoughts were of those who didn't and if they might have made a significant difference (in either direction).

"Bloody is what if they refuse to supply?"

Not a chance. This result is going to bring Europe's businesses and the EU political class into direct conflict. If they try to stop businesses selling to one of their biggest markets then they will become even more unpopular.

The head of the German CBI says that tariffs would be a catastrophe for German business. The Italian PM today said he wants trade to continue as it is with no changes. Profits and jobs vs EU ideology - only one winner there.

Today is the beginning of the end for the Brussels bureaucracy. Good riddance.

I have made the point elsewhere that Corbyn's time is up due to his lack of charisma in the campaign he failed to engage his own voters sufficiently to win the day.

She ignored party policy and betrayed her collegues. Simple choice join the Tory party or stand down.

It would appear that Gisela Stuart was more in tune with the traditional Labour voters than Corbyn.

So she would make a good leader of the party.

What happened to the British public?, when did the majority become a bunch of pansies?

We survived without the EU before we'll do it again. This means a recession, well we've survived a few of those and we will do it again

What's done is done, get over it and move forward the best way you can and bring out the fighting spirit we used to be known for. Regardless of the outcome someone was gonna be pissed off.

To All the voters that wanted to remain if it's the gloom and doom situation you all think it's going to be time to join together now not bicker like little bitches about it, choose to show people you believe we're misguided a way forward

And as for the pathetic "all the turkeys voting for Christmas" comments well some people like a goose at Christmas and it's perfectly acceptable to do so, maybe just maybe you think you've got a turkey and if you approach this with the right spirit there's a succulent goose waiting for you instead, but no no no lets all just be negative and butt hurt instead, grow a pair!

I think many may be surprised by the result if they try and remove Jeremy Corbyn. In my view he has played a blinder. He managed to give lip-service to the remain camp while making it plain that it was for the sake of leading a united parliamentary party. It is now clear that his parties core support (south of the border) did not agree and I suspect any Blairite labour mp who uses this vote to try and topple Corbyn may be in for a career change come the next election.

"You play a blinder when you don't lose "

Not if circumstances force you to play against the side you want to win.

Then the trick is to survive without being labelled a traitor or coward while playing such a small roll in the battle that all can see your heart is not in it.

This is what I think Corbyn has managed to do.

A contact I have within HSBC believes the £ will sit around $1.13 for a good while and that we are looking at inflation rates of around 4%. The Euro rate is expected to be around 1.1

With the £140bn that dropped off the FTSE this morning plus the £250bn assigned by the Bank of England (which is our money) we are almost £400bn down in a day.

In EU net cost terms that's 50 years of EU membership at the current rate.

So.....yeah. Good job us

I get the thinking just I am not convinced he had any plan. Unfortunately I think this opens up Labour to more problems defending it's core vote. Without an effective labour party you get an unbalanced democracy.

On the good old unbiased BBC the bank are denying they are about to move anyone anywhere:

"There will be at least a period of two years before an actual exit takes place, so there will be time to implement any changes required to adjust our business to the new environment. "

No he's a coward like the rest of his commy bastard friends. If you cared about the working man you'd put him out his misery and put Dan Jarvis in charge.

Does this mean instead of walking about being paid to look like a farmer, farmers may actually have to farm now.

"Morgan Stanley already moving ahead with its plan to move 2000 jobs from London to Dublin or Frankfurt. Didnt take them long"

I'm available to hold the door so it doesn't hit them in the ass on the way out.

They'll probably just move to Scotland anyway, it'll be back in the EU soon

London / Herts

I'm tired of reading and hearing calls to keep a stiff upper lip, because it's going to get better. It won't. Even after things level out, the losses will have been massive.

I'm also concerned that so many people voted on an ill informed basis. Believing that a leave vote will be tantamount to waving a magic wand over the UK's resource issues. That suddenly, there'll be places on the council housing register, jobs for the young'uns, and overall a greater sense of "Britishness", whatever the hell that it.

Also, the remainers who voted on the basis that we can make the UK "great" again are deluded, because that term makes little sense and is totally irrelevant in 2016.

Latest news:

Once Article 50 has been triggered a country can not rejoin without the consent of all member states.

Mr Cameron previously said he would trigger Article 50 as soon as possible after a Leave vote but Mr Johnson and Mr Gove, who led the campaign to get Britain out of the EU, have said he should not rush into it.

So are they already realising it was a big mistake to leave?

I think they have.

Accept what the majority want, it's called democracy. Something that the EU know little of and perhaps why the were democratically voted out.

No political alliance is permanent, they come and go, always have, always will.

It's not like the EU was cut down in its prime. There were basically 52% of voters who hated it and want to leave and 48% who hated it and wanted it to be something it hadn't been for a long time.

"A contact I have within HSBC believes the £ will sit around $1.13 for a good while and that we are looking at inflation rates of around 4%. The Euro rate is expected to be around 1.1

With the £140bn that dropped off the FTSE this morning plus the £250bn assigned by the Bank of England (which is our money) we are almost £400bn down in a day.

In EU net cost terms that's 50 years of EU membership at the current rate.

So.....yeah. Good job us "

Except that:

$1.13? The £ dropped after the spivs realised their profit gamble hadn't paid off. It fell to $1.33 and last time I looked it was about $1.39.

Inflation has actually been too low and needs to be around 2%. Any sources why it will be higher?

The FTSE 100 index began the day by falling more than 8% then regained some ground to stand 2.5% lower. A loss that would have barely merited a comment a week ago. It is still way above the 6,000 mark. Care to recalculate that £140 Bn figure? In fact it is the European Bourses that have been hit worse with losses of nearly 10%.

And that £250 Bn is a stand by fund. It has not been spent and likely will not be. So it is not a cost.

You forget this is how the spivs work. they sell at a high price, talk the price down, buy back at the lower price and make their profits to buy their Porsches ... The people selling the £ on 'shorts' end up owning the same £ they sold 12 hours earlier but bank the $ profit in between.

I am sure you didn't mean to mislead us but I do think you ought to sack your contact at HSBC....

Yawn. We heard that excuse after the Scottish vote. Caveat Emptor!

If it doesn't turn out well then we can all relocate to Scotland which will no doubt be holding another referendum where it will leave and join the EU itself.

will we also see in the years of austerity still forecast, a reduction in benefits to perfectly capable young 'indigenous' people who will replace the young people of the continent who have exhibited a good work ethic in picking the fresh produce on our farms..

People feeling sorry for bankers losing their jobs? The mind boggles

It won't be just the bankers, ordinary jobs will be lost"

What like the 10,000 at Ford's Southampton when they moved Transits to Turkey?

Or the 20,000 when Peugeot shut 206 production at Ryton?

Or the thousands when Dagenham was shut down and cars went to Germany?

This country has been losing jobs thanks to the EU for decades. There is no such thing as 'job security' any more. So now if its a few spivs I really don't mind ...

"You play a blinder when you don't lose

Not if circumstances force you to play against the side you want to win.

Then the trick is to survive without being labelled a traitor or coward while playing such a small roll in the battle that all can see your heart is not in it.

This is what I think Corbyn has managed to do.

I get the thinking just I am not convinced he had any plan. Unfortunately I think this opens up Labour to more problems defending it's core vote. Without an effective labour party you get an unbalanced democracy."

We have an unbalanced democracy now in my view. The Labour party has been drifting to the right since the 80's and with the revision of clause 4 in the mid 90's it changed from being the party of the working class to being the watered down Red Tories of Blairs New Labour. I think Corbyn is continually firefighting his own parliamentary party which is now dominated by red tories.


"I'd this the "new politics"? Isn't he a man of principle?

No he's a coward like the rest of his commy bastard friends. If you cared about the working man you'd put him out his misery and put Dan Jarvis in charge. "

I think he is a man of principle.

I also think he is a highly intelligent man who is picking fights he can win and letting his political enemies win pyrrhic victories while he saves his energy and ammunition for use when he can win and make it count.

No amount of evidence will convince someone blinded by ideology but nothing in the last 24 hours has worked in labour's favour. Not that I consider it a bad thing given the clusterfuck that it currently is.

As I say, the quicker labour wakes up to political dynamite on its back bench and gets rid of those fart loving communists, the sooner we'll have a close general election.

Of course you would .... No what they were actually doing was what sensible and responsible politicians should do when in a changing situation. Stay calm, reassure people (especially the markets) and confirm there will be no rush. And if you think the Vote Leave team have any regrets you clearly didn't listen to all the speeches this morning...

Democracy in action and isn't it beautiful?

The people have turned out in massive numbers and cast their vote.

What if? What if? What if?

The people had a democratic voice and it was used. You would never have been given that option if Corbyn or Miliband were in power.

Remember that we elect governments on far less of a % of a far lower turnout and the question was posed to the electorate who turned out in numbers.

If people chose not to vote, there is no come back from them.

If you voted and 'won', remember that there are more battles to fight and we need to be strong.

If you voted and 'lost' then remember that it was 100% fair and democratic and that is how democracy works and we wouldn't be complaining if we'd have won by an even narrower margin.

And everyone lets recall, we need to work together to strengthen our country. Onwards and upwards.

"You play a blinder when you don't lose

Not if circumstances force you to play against the side you want to win.

Then the trick is to survive without being labelled a traitor or coward while playing such a small roll in the battle that all can see your heart is not in it.

This is what I think Corbyn has managed to do.

I get the thinking just I am not convinced he had any plan. Unfortunately I think this opens up Labour to more problems defending it's core vote. Without an effective labour party you get an unbalanced democracy.

We have an unbalanced democracy now in my view. The Labour party has been drifting to the right since the 80's and with the revision of clause 4 in the mid 90's it changed from being the party of the working class to being the watered down Red Tories of Blairs New Labour. I think Corbyn is continually firefighting his own parliamentary party which is now dominated by red tories.

I'd this the "new politics"? Isn't he a man of principle?

No he's a coward like the rest of his commy bastard friends. If you cared about the working man you'd put him out his misery and put Dan Jarvis in charge.

I think he is a man of principle.

I also think he is a highly intelligent man who is picking fights he can win and letting his political enemies win pyrrhic victories while he saves his energy and ammunition for use when he can win and make it count.

He needs to starting winning the political battlefield. Other parties won't wait around and will be keen to take core seats.

He'll have to win a vote of no confidence first "

Labour MP's need to see the car crash happening now to vote him out not admire the scenery as they go through the crash barriers

Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton were one of the biggest 'out' wards.

Regular columnist Peter Rhodes wrote this today:

"God, this feels good. The people have spoken. The people are packing their bags and leaving a place where we never felt fully at home.

After 40-odd years of dithering, we can arise and be a nation.

There are few events in history that raise the spirits in such a way. The fall of the Berlin Wall springs to mind, or the Blairs’ triumphant entry into Downing Street in 1997 when even some Tories rejoiced to see a new broom in Number Ten.

This feeling is a combination of knowing that an idea has reached its time, and possessing the power to make it happen.

Rejoice, for we still live in a working democracy.

We are righting a wrong that has haunted this nation for more than four decades.

In 1975 we voted to stay in the Common Market. Somehow, we ended up not in the free-trade area we expected but as part of a European superstate with our laws overruled by Brussels, our courts subordinated to Euro-courts and our population scorching towards 70 million.

Today, we begin the process either of serious renegotiation (don’t rule that out) or of getting out entirely.

This is not some rabid raising of the drawbridge or a withdrawal into a fondly-remembered 1950s idyll, the happy, post-war Britain of Brief Encounter and the Titfield Thunderbolt.

This is not a retreat. It is our advance, as a big, bold and potent trading nation, into the world.

From today we will not be chained to the mountains of bumf churned out by the bureaucrats of Brussels.

From this hour we are no longer Little Europeans. We are Great Britons and the entire planet is our oyster, just as it used to be.

And while it may appear unseemly to crow over this result, let’s allow ourselves a few seconds of mirth at the idiocy of the largely London-based europhiles, the movers, shakers and commentators who are today in deep shock.

They are the ones who assumed Remain would win a resounding victory because the only people they talk to are people like themselves.

The sort of people who see a massive, dead-handed bureaucratic machine in Brussels churning out thousands of laws to regulate everything from duvets to dental floss, and somehow convince themselves that this is a dynamic, worthwhile institution offering a desirable future. It is no such thing.

For me, as I explained a couple of days ago, this referendum was never about refugees, wages or the wider economy.

It was an historical feeling, a gut instinct that Britain should be friendly with Europe but not totally immersed in it.

Call me a little Englander but I want my country’s borders to be at Dover, not somewhere on the Iraq or Syrian frontier.

I know, from having friends in France and Germany, that we Brits will never feel like citizens of the EU in the way that they do. For them it spells destiny and security.

For me, the EU is just another European superstate, an unpredictable empire in waiting. Relish the moment.

But accept, too, that this is only the beginning of a long and tangled process of unravelling. Right from the outset, we must be aware that there are dark forces at work to prevent us from quitting the EU.

Watch out for those who suggest what we really need is a second referendum, the kind the EU imposed on poor, dithering Ireland to bully it back into the fold.

As for Scotland, the received wisdom was that a Brexit vote would redouble their struggle for independence from Whitehall.

But Scots opted for a quiet life by voting to remain in the UK two years ago.

Are they ready now for the problems that would surely arise if they were in the EU and England, their neighbour and biggest trading partner, were not?

If the Scots feel the need to organise a new referendum, so be it.

But my hunch is that this Leave vote will not weaken the Anglo-Scottish connection but strengthen it.

Finally, here’s a crumb of comfort for the losing side in a referendum which split the nation deeply and painfully.

There is another recession coming. It may be next year or the year after but it is certainly due because capitalism waxes and wanes in cycles.

And when the inevitable downturn comes and house prices plummet and unemployment soars, you Remainers will have the satisfaction of being able to claim that if we had only listened to you, all would be well.

Imagine that – the opportunity for half the nation to spend the rest of its life telling the other half: “We told you so.” "

We're not usually a cut-and-paste fans but this says everything for us.

"What happened to the British public?, when did the majority become a bunch of pansies?

We survived without the EU before we'll do it again. This means a recession, well we've survived a few of those and we will do it again

What's done is done, get over it and move forward the best way you can and bring out the fighting spirit we used to be known for. Regardless of the outcome someone was gonna be pissed off.

To All the voters that wanted to remain if it's the gloom and doom situation you all think it's going to be time to join together now not bicker like little bitches about it, choose to show people you believe we're misguided a way forward

And as for the pathetic "all the turkeys voting for Christmas" comments well some people like a goose at Christmas and it's perfectly acceptable to do so, maybe just maybe you think you've got a turkey and if you approach this with the right spirit there's a succulent goose waiting for you instead, but no no no lets all just be negative and butt hurt instead, grow a pair!

I'm amazed that you think it's ok for the British public to cause a recession

48% didn't want this

I'd give my right ear that if we knew then what we know now it would be very different

I don't doubt We would have had a recession either way most of my life weve lived in a state of recession anyway and that was under EU rule

How many recessions have we been through whilst being in the EU ?

"

4 - mid 70s, early 80s, early 90s and the most recent one the Great Recession that latest the best part of a decade in the 2000s

"And everyone lets recall, we need to work together to strengthen our country. Onwards and upwards.

Work damn hard now we have made an idiot move

"

I think what a lot of the very vocal leavers seem to have forgotten in their gloating at the moment is there are 48% of people who will need to be brought along if this is now going to succeed

I really tried to stay out of this as what is done is done and we will all have to face the consequences... But I do feel at times a tutorial in real world economics would be useful so you know what possible impact is coming

Too late for sticking head in sand now

"The FTSE is trading up on opening Monday... Can someone please explain the crash... oh yes it didn't happen!

An exit was predicted Monday. Friday it happened.

Plus markets don't factor everything in - it's often whimsical.

Anyone who lost money this morning did in fact fully lose that money.

You need to view things in the longer term, not pick 2 data points that could just be outliers"

And people shouldn't go around saying that the market was going to crash and send us in to a depression that would cripple our economy...

"I'm tired of reading and hearing calls to keep a stiff upper lip, because it's going to get better. It won't. Even after things level out, the losses will have been massive.

I'm also concerned that so many people voted on an ill informed basis. Believing that a leave vote will be tantamount to waving a magic wand over the UK's resource issues. That suddenly, there'll be places on the council housing register, jobs for the young'uns, and overall a greater sense of "Britishness", whatever the hell that it.

Also, the remainers who voted on the basis that we can make the UK "great" again are deluded, because that term makes little sense and is totally irrelevant in 2016.

I'm concerned that the majority of voters are being insulted with terms such as stupid , ignorant and ill informed. The bike spouting from the remainers because they didn't get what they want is truly sickening.

Accept what the majority want, it's called democracy. Something that the EU know little of and perhaps why the were democratically voted out.

Or lied to. Appears already NHS is not guaranteed the EU funds promised. Next it's the farmer's to be disappointed ? "

So Cameron was telling the truth when he warned of WWIII and famine ?

"the Mayor of Calais wants the treaty renegotiated over the border check point in her gaff..

This is absolutely obvious. It wasn't brought up in the campaigns as 'project fear' would have had anouther mark against it. But why Calais would harbour migrants when our border starts at Dover is silly. Once they are shipped to Dover they are our problem and it is highly unlikey we will be able to police the numbers. Either on the ports or potential boats across the channel that the French will no doubt no bother stopping.

I also have my suspicions that if the economy does not settle within 2 years there will be an intellectual evacuation, either moving to Europe or English speaking countries. Professionals will have the financial means to move and qualifications for necessary visas (just to throw that one into the mix). There was an interesting talk about trade agreements were we only have enough civil servants to negotiate at most 2 trade agreements at any one time, a Brexit would mean countries outside of Europe that rely on the UK to trade with Europe i.e. India - UK - Germany, due to our power, will want a renegotiation. The discussion posed the question that a Brexit could potentially mean new trade agreements with 50-60 countries. Something we simply could not manage, and we would be be second best from.

funny enough i said something in a similar vein earlier that gloating or 'told you so' from either side post the result will not assist the debate..

and i have also stated that it is what it is and we have to get on with it regardless of how we voted (i voted to remain)..

raising valid points is not having a whinge or a moan as lets be honest this was always going to be a time of uncertainty if it went this way and there are many area's that no one yet knows just what the impact may well be and how long it will last..

reality is not sour grapes and for some the reality may be difficult, the truth is we don't yet know..

the result is a democratic one and to be respected by all of course..

As I said on the other thread it's been a difficult day. A child that needs an immunotherapy drug that may now not happen long term because the NHS may lose more funds and the EU funded a lot of the research too. A Polish lady has been in tears as she feels like we dislike their race and don't want them here. She's worried she won't keep her job.

And then you have those who are happy. Strange mix and Hopefully things will settle soon after the initial storm.

a fair point. what is definite is the fact that the financial institutions always make the rules to make profit. within 4hours overnight there were zero parliamentary acts or buy outs/collapses but the money disappeared in the blink of an eye. that is the act of companies gambling with finance. oooh its definately remain buy buy. shit its not what i gambled, sell sell.

"A contact I have within HSBC believes the £ will sit around $1.13 for a good while and that we are looking at inflation rates of around 4%. The Euro rate is expected to be around 1.1

With the £140bn that dropped off the FTSE this morning plus the £250bn assigned by the Bank of England (which is our money) we are almost £400bn down in a day.

In EU net cost terms that's 50 years of EU membership at the current rate.

"Bloody is what if they refuse to supply?

Not a chance. This result is going to bring Europe's businesses and the EU political class into direct conflict. If they try to stop businesses selling to one of their biggest markets then they will become even more unpopular.

The head of the German CBI says that tariffs would be a catastrophe for German business. The Italian PM today said he wants trade to continue as it is with no changes. Profits and jobs vs EU ideology - only one winner there.

Today is the beginning of the end for the Brussels bureaucracy. Good riddance. "

(bad luck with the redundancy)

"He'll have to win a vote of no confidence first

Labour MP's need to see the car crash happening now to vote him out not admire the scenery as they go through the crash barriers "

Really?

Now lets just examine what you have said critically.

After the disaster that was the last labour general election results with their support hemorrhaging throughout the country and collapsing in Scotland due to the continued adherence to right wing Blairite policies the Labour party had a plebiscite of its members and supporters. They elected Corbyn as their leader and you think the way to recover lost political ground with Labour supporters is for Labour MP's who have been sniping at Corbyn since his election to stage a coup and replace him with someone whose policies have been rejected by the party and its supporters as a whole?

Now I have been told many times I don't have a crystal ball and cant tell the future, but I am willing to bet that if the Parliamentary Labour Party do as you suggest then come the next general election the bloodbath that was the 2015 GE will look mild and Labour will join the Lib Dem's in the political waste bin.

I'm pretty good with pattern recognition, and I see a grim future.

I'm an immigrant, and I agree in every way with the idea that there must be a much higher level of control at UK's borders. Actually I believe that the refugee wave in the past couple of years is what pushed many pro-leave voters to choose that.

On the other hand, the long term consequences are terrible. UK is a major, if not the biggest commercial node for Europe, at the moment.

Much of the "wasted" money is being made as a result of the trade agreements and laws with the EU, which now will disappear or at least be renegotiated.

Large foreign companies operating here will soon relocate or downsize, due to the new, restricted business environment.

The value of a currency is given by how much it circulates. Restricted economical conditions mean less money flow, less value.

This is getting too long, lol, and it's too late for anything anyway.

"Much sour grapes going around today. Out won, in lost. That's just the way it goes, grow up and get on with it...

I've been saying the same all day

My prosperity is at risk so excuse my lack of enthusiasm. I won't be railroaded into a celebrations with UKIP and the extreme right.

Then I suggest you move to north korea, they don't like democracy there either..

You obviously don't like other people's free speech Feel free to be repetitive

Grow up, silly child

See..... Foolish

That's quite singularly the most childish come back you could have said

Maybe like most we're tired of the losing out brigade chanting from the same song sheet,

you're like spoilt brats that won't accept what's been laid down and refuse to get on with it ...you just throw the potential threat of the UK collapsing around our knees about...

This is why the strong voted out, we don't try to predict the future...

we look towards shaping it...

"

"What happened to the British public?, when did the majority become a bunch of pansies?

We survived without the EU before we'll do it again. This means a recession, well we've survived a few of those and we will do it again

What's done is done, get over it and move forward the best way you can and bring out the fighting spirit we used to be known for. Regardless of the outcome someone was gonna be pissed off.

To All the voters that wanted to remain if it's the gloom and doom situation you all think it's going to be time to join together now not bicker like little bitches about it, choose to show people you believe we're misguided a way forward

And as for the pathetic "all the turkeys voting for Christmas" comments well some people like a goose at Christmas and it's perfectly acceptable to do so, maybe just maybe you think you've got a turkey and if you approach this with the right spirit there's a succulent goose waiting for you instead, but no no no lets all just be negative and butt hurt instead, grow a pair!

Maastricht was more of a formality regarding something that existed for decades.

This was a vote of fear without judgement. And bad things followed such decisions in the past.

That old generation won't probably experience the effects of their vote, so they followed their impulses. The next generations, however, will feel the consequences of something they had no say in.

All that's missing now is Trump winning and 2016 will truly be a cheerful year.

If the vote result was to remain that decision still would impact on future generations that had no say in it.

The simple fact is no one knows for certain what will come of this but there are plenty self righteous people that think they do

To all of those with such crystal balls please oh get them out to give you the wining lotto numbers at least your prosperity is safe then

I imagine it's easy to take this view if you ignore the reality, which is what defines the thinking of Leavers. You voted for £350M quid a week saving...big money, and a made up figure! The BOE have had to spend ten years worth of EU payments in one day to stop our national currency from collapsing. What a victory. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

This country is now split right down the middle. Their is a brave, confident and forward thinking half who now have to live with the spectacular mess you've made of our beautiful nation. God help us.

Over the rainbow, under the bridge

People are concerned about the future for the next generation.

Well, the vote has been counted. Want a better future for the next generation? Then work towards it. Don't sit around apathetically waiting for 'society 'to do something, moaning about how awful it is.

Try little acts of kindness. Help those who need it if you are in a position to do so. Don't deliberately make another person feel shit just because you can. Don't behave badly because 'everyone else does it' (no they fucking don't).

There are things in our power where this could be a more cohesive and kinder country.

But only WE can make it happen. Government never will. I wouldn't trust a politician to wipe my arse.

It's not their country. It's ours.

"And everyone lets recall, we need to work together to strengthen our country. Onwards and upwards.

Work damn hard now we have made an idiot move

I think what a lot of the very vocal leavers seem to have forgotten in their gloating at the moment is there are 48% of people who will need to be brought along if this is now going to succeed

I really tried to stay out of this as what is done is done and we will all have to face the consequences... But I do feel at times a tutorial in real world economics would be useful so you know what possible impact is coming

Too late for sticking head in sand now "

Whilst I'm very disappointed to see the outcome of the vote, and in no small part worried for the future, I'll be damned if I'm not up for the fight of keeping this country as an outward-looking tolerant and liberal nation which welcomes allcomers and has a decent welfare system.

I think we've made a huge mistake, but there were many people who felt their voices weren't being heard, and we must not make that mistake again.

You've missed the point. You think Tony was too right wing but what he did won elections. Gordon went left and lost. Ed went further left and lost. Corbyn went so far left he ended up sitting next to Marx on the train journey there. But you think he's going to be successful!

Well they would be wouldn't they, they get shit loads of free money, who wouldn't be in favour of it, that's why Scotland is in favour of it as well, they get free free free and somebody else pays... Who wouldn't be in favour of that!.

The day Scotland and Poland have to pay their own share, you'll see them go oh...errr , you mean we have to pay as well! ,I thought it was just the other lot!.

Trading block, everybody pays the same fee, we all get the same benefit.... Evolve or die

"

This is my reply the-doors from referendum part 1.

Yes, poland and the slavic countries have a tough rule against the islamination of the world, so by living there it would be like Europe as we know it and they dont give in like the rest of europe does and stand by their values and culture. I guess few countries get free money and you could say they are lucky as well on that point.

Whilst I agree wholeheartedly with that sentiment, how can we ever do that when we have half the country hanging around our necks like an albatross? If this referendum proves anything, it's that you cannot fight ignorance with facts, you can't fight fear with bravery, you cannot fight intolerance with respect.

'We' haven't made a huge mistake - we voted to remain. But we are doomed to live with those who saddled us with their mistake.

How insulting you are because you didn't win reminds me of Cameron to be honest spitting the dummy being insulting.

Get over it the majority of the U.K. Want a change and that's the desission that was made if you don't like it leave the country it's as simple as that.

Mind you I'm sure even if you did that you would come across someone who didn't agree with your views and the circle would begin again.

"Whilst I'm very disappointed to see the outcome of the vote, and in no small part worried for the future, I'll be damned if I'm not up for the fight of keeping this country as an outward-looking tolerant and liberal nation which welcomes allcomers and has a decent welfare system.

I think we've made a huge mistake, but there were many people who felt their voices weren't being heard, and we must not make that mistake again.

Whilst I agree wholeheartedly with that sentiment, how can we ever do that when we have half the country hanging around our necks like an albatross? If this referendum proves anything, it's that you cannot fight ignorance with facts, "

It would have been nice if the Corbyn had tried though.

The south west is the oldest part of the country and was always voting out, the south east was always voting in. The North held the balance and were crystal clear in their expression.

Why did the people who voted out make a mistake? The majority made well informed, consist decisions on what they felt was best, just as you did with your remain vote

"What happened to the British public?, when did the majority become a bunch of pansies?

We survived without the EU before we'll do it again. This means a recession, well we've survived a few of those and we will do it again

What's done is done, get over it and move forward the best way you can and bring out the fighting spirit we used to be known for. Regardless of the outcome someone was gonna be pissed off.

To All the voters that wanted to remain if it's the gloom and doom situation you all think it's going to be time to join together now not bicker like little bitches about it, choose to show people you believe we're misguided a way forward

And as for the pathetic "all the turkeys voting for Christmas" comments well some people like a goose at Christmas and it's perfectly acceptable to do so, maybe just maybe you think you've got a turkey and if you approach this with the right spirit there's a succulent goose waiting for you instead, but no no no lets all just be negative and butt hurt instead, grow a pair!

I imagine it's easy to take this view if you ignore the reality, which is what defines the thinking of Leavers. You voted for £350M quid a week saving...big money, and a made up figure! The BOE have had to spend ten years worth of EU payments in one day to stop our national currency from collapsing. What a victory. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

This country is now split right down the middle. Their is a brave, confident and forward thinking half who now have to live with the spectacular mess you've made of our beautiful nation. God help us.

First things first I didn't even vote I was undecided so happen to go with any outcome so no I didn't vote for the "catastrophe" we're "facing" "

That's alright then!

Regardless of what everyone voted and on what bails their decision was made... A truly democratic decision was made by a large proportion of the electorate.

It's a shame that as adults we cannot manage to have a healthy debate, but resort to abuse and name calling.

We'll just have to see how things pan out in the end. The current market conditions reflect the uncertainty of the current situation.

Ultimately there will be little discernible impact to most people's everyday lives for some time.

I'll certainly agree with you that they made consistent decisions on what they felt was best.

As for well-informed...no.

Well it looks like us Scots will be heading back to the polls to vote for or against independence for a second time.

We Scots weren't just voting for the future of the UK, the result also impacts on us as a whole nation. The future of the EU may be in doubt but we also face further uncertainty for a second time. Nicola Sturgeon will request another referendum and hopefully she'll accept the decision if we still vote No.

Inflation may rise to 4% just think how much more that will mean to your mortgages that are probably at 1%. How many will lose their houses.

This country has had immigration for over 100 hundred years. Being in or out of the EU won't change that.

The result does have consequences for all of us but it will take a few years for it all to unfold.

Really? I've seen and heard plenty of people saying they voted out on the basis of the £350m figure which has been totally refuted. People thinking this will mean more money will go to the NHS, when it obviously won't. People thinking immigration will change, when that is totally up in the air.

I put a note in my diary today. It simply says........"bugger"

I have a fair mind to pop London and wave a sign in front of a camera for the first time in my life.
