    The U.K. has just confirmed that it's a nation full of small minded ****ing idiots.

    The pound hits a 30 year low and the markets have tanked by 8% already.

    Well done Wayne and Waynetta at least you won't be getting any more Rumanians stealing your place in the pound shop queue though.

    Despite being on the winning team, I think Boris has just committed career suicide. He was popular in London, not any more. He's just been hilariously heckled as he left his home to go and party with Nigel. You can't hear the word "TWAT!" too often on breakfast news!

    The rest of the country have always thought he was a bumbling toff.

    So I'm not sure where this leaves him.

    I genuinely think that people didn't understand the wider implications of what they were voting for.

    The first person who complains about how expensive their summer holiday to Greece was this year will get a slap from Sir Stan!

    The mother in law was going to vote Leave simply because she's quite racist. She wavered towards Remain when I pointed out to her that her son and grandchildren live in an EU country and that she spends a lot of time and money going to visit them.

    She hadn't really given much thought to that as she was so focused on the evils of immigration. As it happens, she lives in an area where there are almost no immigrants at all!

    The irony is, immigration will hardly change at all, in or out.
    Since, when we make FTAs with the EU as a separate entity, one of the first conditions of said FTA will be free of movement of EU passport holders <laugh>
    So twats that voted leave for immigration reasons are ****ing ******ed, this country has benefited far more than it has suffered through immigration...that will always be the case

    The irony of this, is that the working man has ultimately delivered this suicide pill for the UK. The same twat who'll be scratching his bollocks when his rent rockets and his disposable income halves as inflation grabs a hold of everything from lager to ***s.....

    The EU was a failed experiment, it started as a Trade Union and should have stayed that way.
    Instead it morphed into a political union that tried to usurp Europes Governments through the back door, Emperor Palpatine style.

    The pound has dropped, fuel prices and food prices will raise slightly for a few months.
    Then we will agree new FTAs , the pound will go back up and it will be business as usual.

    Unless your livelihood was reliant on EU membership (like I get the impression Tobes is), we will be fine.
    No apocalypse, no deltmown. We will cope.

    As I said, the lunatics now have control of the asylum.

    Wait till they find out that Nigel's long promised utopia is just a fairy story!

    All that awaits us is at least 2 yrs of uncertainty, falling markets, pound disappearing up its own fundament. But, as Tobes said, if it's gets rid of all those immigrants!!

    We are still in the EU for the next 2 years.
    As of today, nothing has fundamentally changed from yesterday, except people pulling out of UK investments in panic like morons.
    But we are still in the EU, so the pound dropping in value is a mirage, just a by product of idiot investors. It will sort itself.
    My hope is we get the EU FTA drawn up quick sharp, and then move on to other markets we never had agreements with under the EU, in order to redress the balance somewhat.

    Luckily, I got to greece on holiday in 2 weeks, and I had the sense to get my Euros a couple days ago.

    Well, that was a close run thing.

    The prophecy of 2015 came to be, and Labour truly paved the way for the loss
    (never has the politnik disconnect between London and the rest of England been
    shown electorally in such a damning way) .

    Do not think UKIP can become an English version of the SNP, so Farage et al
    are not long in the limelight.

    And as if the dotcom crash and CDO debacle were not evidence enough of the
    self-serving greed of the City, we had GBP = USD1.50 (well for 1 hr anyway :D ) .

    **** Tobes, you are usually more composed than this.
    This must be about to affect you badly.

    We go to Greece in 3 weeks. It's an all inclusive holiday including airport transfers that I paid for in February. I plan on turning up with 0 euros!

    I'll admit I voted Leave and I hate the clearly moronic opinion that immigration is a good reason to do so. My view was partially being a natural fan of the 'mystery box' in any scenario, partly because I don't feel the economic arguments from the Remain campaign stacked up and partly just a general apathy towards what the EU has become. If it was us, Benelux, Germany and a few others, I think I'd support it, but the more it expands, the more it moves away from being to our benefit imo.

    I hope we still have free movement of labour and trade with the EU and expect we will.

    Exactly how I feel.
    I voted leave too.
    But immigration couldn't have been further from my mind in this referendum.
    I am under no illusion that a HUGE chunk of leave voters made, what is in my opinion, the right choice, for the wrong reasons.

    But I will take a victory where I can get it.
    This wasn't Left Wing vs Right Wing, it wasn't Liberals vs Conservatives, it wasn't Good guys vs Bad guys.

    Well, at least we can export loads of glutinous cake from Walthamstow to France. No need to worry at all ...
