    The EU getting the blame for the government austerity measures in my opinion... We are now heading for a period of great instability and we all need to pull together to make the most of the tough times ahead..

    I believe Osborne said this week that he did not have a plan for the "out" vote. Surely he has to go then? Like you say we all have to pull together and hopefully becoms Great Britain again.

    So how long before an MP pops up on TV and says, "well, yes the vote to leave is 51.9% but that only represents 37% of the UK constituency, so Parliament doesn't actually have a mandate to leave, so **** you Mr Joe Public"?

    Nows not the time to be interpreting the vote RAW. I've already heard Keith Vaz doing that on the radio.

    He sounded like your typical arrogant establishmentarian, as in, yes well that's what they voted for but they don't really know anything about this do they, attitude.

    The Bank of England will have been planning for both eventualities since the referendum was first called.

    They'll be working their arses off for the next 4 or 5 days trying to bring some stability to the markets.

    There'll be no weekend off for the BoE this weekend.

    Lots of reason that the answer is NO.

    For a start I couldn't live in London. I'd miss the Grandchildren too much apart from all else.

    Then there is the unsurmountable difficulty in that I don't lie.
    I may from time to time exaggerate the truth, (or hide it), but I don't do outright lies.

    As you will appreciate this disqualifies me, at a stroke.
    I don't do cheating either.
    However I am a bastard, but I'm afraid that only one out of the three necessary qualifications is not enough.

    Immigration is the main reason for a large amount of leave voters.

    Now our government and all of the EU are left in no uncertain terms, just how sick of it, we are.

    To all the Out voters. Remember, your vote was a vote for Boris too. <whistle>

    No complaining now...

    I'm putting a tenner on ET turning up before the end of the year!

    And maybe an each-way on finding Elvis really is working in a chip shop just like Kirsty McColl predicted.

    Might as well make it up to a treble and that Lord Lucan will be found.

    People should give Cameron credit for taking on the referendum, many before him gave it a swerve.

    It's gone onto cost him his job, and if/when Boris gets the job some on here might regret what they wished for, time will tell.

    My arguement with that cumbria is we democratically elected the government, regardless of which party, to make these decisions for us, for our benefit and to serve the people. They put the onus on us cos they didnt have the balls to do it.
    Whatever happens now anything that goes wrong will be" well thats what yous voted for".

    Im not Camerons biggest fan theres no denying that but I dont like to see people lose their jobs although I suppose hes offshore millions will see him survive.
    Regarding Boris. Armageddon springs to mind.

    We can't and won't panic, recovery from drops last night has already begun.

    The first thing we need to do, right now to help the pound recover is tell Scotland that we will consider another referendum for them to leave in ten years. Them kicking up a fuss will not help us in the short term, whilst we will inevitably be juggling a multitude of far more important things than their independence. They had their chance to leave, now they must stick with us, as they voted to.

    Project Fear has now come into effect, let's see how the world will crash around us imminently, let's see how this inevitable recession goes. Let's watch the big banks and FTSE100 companies all withdraw day by day, from the capital of the world, to stand shoulder to shoulder with a failing EU economy.

    The pound will recover, because we know when things are bad, we fix them, we don't print money to get out of trouble.

    I'll also give him credit for saying we will take 20,000 refugees only, and they have to come from Syria... he's been depicted as the devil but this could go down as one of the greatest decisions this country has ever made and he gave us it under his term.
