Today is our independence day. It was always thought that the people of Britain would vote to leave if given the chance, but I am stunned that it's actually happened. Turbulent times ahead for a while, but the lesson is that you must never, ever threaten the people of this great nation and not expect a fight!
What a truly historic day in our and world history. I honestly expected us to still be in the EU this morning.
Personally, I think it's a great result. The remain camp pushed the fear factor too hard. You cannot threaten the voters and not expect a backlash. Onwards and upwards!
**** me! Mrs rangercol is apoplectic. It may console those who wanted to remain that I may never have sex again!! (What have I done!)
46.499.537 voters 33.577.342 bothered to vote 12.922.195 couldn't be bothered 13 million people didn't care That is an amazing amount of people
Congraz to those who wanted britain to leave. It appears to me as a hasty and intensitive decision, but then again what do i know because im not a briton and im living in the back of scandinavia......Im just concerned, not just a economical impacts in europe because of this, but the fact that Putin is celebrating wildly in kreml. Yes, he is always wanted EU to crash and now it crashed big time. Not a good thing for the future.
My mum wasn't born in the UK Does she need to start packing her bags Can someone please warn the listowel pubs she could be on the way
Well, that's a thing to wake up from an anaesthetic inspired coma to. Congratulations to all those who got what they wanted, but especially Col and Goldie who have argued their corner so well on here. And remember, you are now the establishment! Not sure what to think. The EU has clearly brought this upon itself by cocking a number of things up consistently and for a long time. And the U.K. Has always had a lukewarm and ambivalent relationship with it. But we have damaged ourselves massively in this process, and the divisions between London, Scotland, the young and everyone else are pretty stark. And I've just heard the margin is 52-48 overall, which would have been seen as an unconvincing result for remain. But, looking at the poll on here, it just shows that QPR Not 606 posters are bizarrely representative! Time to drop the confrontational approach. Farage has to be sidelined, and Johnson kept away from number 10. Labour has taken a massive beating, its core supporters ignored its pathetic 'leadership'. Now is the time to look outwards, work out how we develop positive relationships with the rest of the world, not turn in on ourselves. The fact of Brexit should not be blamed for the markets crap, if we can't make collective decisions like this we are truly slaves to the unconscious forces we have created by mistake. Just realised that I have made quite a lot of money overnight, because I have shares in my own company in $. So in the spirit of '**** you, buddy' rules (Stroller will get it), I win! To be honest, it's not much of a consolation. And on the flip side, my salary fell by 10% too. Take care everyone, things will settle down, don't let the turmoil crap panic you and don't let the bastards grind you down!
Been at work since 4 when the markets opened as the country won't get flushed down the kharzi without the help of dedicated professionals like me. It's very busy. I have changed my avatar from a Mauritania class liner to and Olympic class one to show what I think of the vote
The great British (if you redefine what it means to be British) have spoken. Those bloody foreigners have taken our jobs. This is a protest vote against the country being run by a 'one public school' elite and endless austerity or 'prudent' economic management. 'Tories out' cry the Labour heartlands but they don't want the Labour party any more. Well Brexit supporters got their way. We can now look forward to a further lurch to the right - the dismantling of the Welfare state and abolition of the National Minimum Wage. And another old Etonian to steer us through this. At least our people, who were too proud to work as public lavatory cleaners and dishwashers before or refused to do so for the wages on offer will now have jobs. Either that or they can starve. We'll pull together. Oh and let's not forget. We can build a new NHS hospital each week on the money we save and put up a 20 foot wall with electrified fences and barbed wire on top to prevent those bloody foreigners coming in. Where's that effing Donald Trump when you need him? At least we got our sovereignty back. The entire UK can be ruled from the common room at Eton on the basis of 35% of the vote from those who actually bother to do so. It's democracy innit?
Congratulations to the Brexit campaigners on here...Col and Goldy I learnt a lot from you...more than I did from Farage and Boris. I pray my predictions some of which I have put on here do not come true...but I am off to seek advice about when I should retire....I have suspicion it should be sooner than later. As an aside....there was no exit poll...as they feared it would not be representative....They never need to bother again...pundits please come to this board...practically on the button. Congratulations not606qpr we are true microcosm of real life.
The people have spoken. Without a doubt, the government will go with the result and pull the pin. We'll find we're a bit short on friends as the EU digs in and does the best it can to close ranks and treats us like the "I want a divorce" country that we now understand we are. Our decision changes the landscape for them, too. Interesting times just got even more interesting. It's done. Now let's get on with it.
