Congratulations to all you Brexiters. I hope the Cameron and Osborne predictions of economic doom prove to be as exaggerated as you presumably consider them to have been. I look forward to the extra £350m a week for the NHS. Just heard Nicola Sturgeon talking, as you would expect, about a second independence referendum for Scotland justified on the fact that Scotland had voted overwhelmingly for Remain. Interestingly, she said that she had spoken to Sadiq Khan and that he and she shared the same view about their areas remaining in the EU. Independence for London - now there's an fascinating prospect! Why should Londoners, who also voted overwhelmingly to stay in the EU, be ruled by faceless bureaucrats in, er, London?
Didn't take long for Spain to renew their claims to Gibraltar........or for the SNP to re-hash their Independence call after their once in a lifetime vote last year.....
Good night all ................ I've had too many 'liquids' to offer any sensible comment so on that note .....................
Scotland won't leave. After Brexit other countries will demand a referendum Holland/Spain/Italy/Austria/France/Sweden and it will be the break up of the EU (that's one thing Farage has got right). Scotland cannot survive on their own. I won't happen
Hard left hard right alliances are always amusing, 'ends justifies the means' stuff. Sadly the left will have absolutely no say in the leave negotiations and shaping the way this country looks in the next few years, unless you move to Scotland. That's democracy for you.
Good heavens! The Uk has voted out and now our tiny island nation will have to stand alone. The PM has resigned, the economy has nosedived, Scotland is making a new bid for independence and Labour is about to take out its leader. I hope this nightmare is just a bad dream as a result of having had too much cheese at suppertime.
We will now enter a period of panic headlines, rumour and counter rumour. Things will be a lot clearer in 6 months time. Whilst I voted OUT, I too have concerns about the future, but at least it is a future where WE are in charge rather than unelected eurocrats.
Just clocked our vote outcome....bang on the money, we could have told them the result at the start........ Stay off the late night cheese 999's unless it's washed down with copious amounts of Port, all of which will now be more expensive.......
I think Boris and co need to publicly distant themselves from Farage. Farage wasn't even part of the official Leave campaign. Scary but exciting times ahead but Farage has his own agenda. Good one with our poll - as mentioned, spot on. Now back to football.
Some people think traders made a lot of money from the stock market and sterling drop but the opposite is true. People who shorted these markets covered their positions as it looked like remain was going to win in the days before the vote. In fact some actually went long so the drop caught a lot of them out and cost them a lot of money>
I can't speak for anyone but myself, I couldn't place my vote on the effect on Russian foreign policy, I voted on what I felt were our best interests long term. We'll never know who was right, but I doubt that will stop us all pointlessly speculating forever more.
Presumably the bookmakers took a hit too - they got the odds badly wrong. I looked at the even telephone and internet polls at the time and thought - the bookies must know something I don't. Turned out they didn't
No, unless you are a 'trader'. And even then it's a generalisation, not specifically aimed at you, if indeed you are a 'trader'.
