The whole of the U.K. Is in turmoil at the moment, give it time and let the dust settle. They'll be knee jerk reactions surely, but I have a feeling this will cause a domino effect to the EU. No country seems happy with it.
I just hope it happens before too many businesses and banks relocate out of the UK for the likes of Obi and JPF. Will it be too late by then?
The thing is mate, nobody knows for sure. We're in a hideously uncertain future. It's not the end of the world, our country hasn't died. The reaction of some folk is way ott. At this time, we are a rudderless ship and we need some stability. Only time will tell. To be honest, I wasn't fussed either way, looking at it now, possibly the best thing would have been to remain, but there's a lot wrong with the EU. A lot of the countries in it are buggered, Greece, Italy, Portugal. No one seems happy with it. Horrible time at the moment, but time will tell.
Farage is going to end up the modern day general custer. I voted so don't blame us all In actual fact 10 million 18-24s didn't vote
You hope? I hope for many things but I wouldn't risk the livelihoods of the children for them Regardless just like everything else I'll have to wait until I can say I was right Just a pointer I won the fa cup prediction league, I'm currently top in the European prediction league, won the last two caption contests and Newcastle did sell all their best players and get relegated Just before anyone goes there I didn't predict in the premier league prediction league otherwise I'd have total monopoly right now, so be grateful. Good morning I'm off to build a bomb shelter, then off to greggs to stockpile greggs pastys before purchasing several 5 Ltr drums ofwater, a generator and lots of rice.
Just catching up on this thread but not sure why the Scottish issue re-raises it's head. Scotland had a "once in a generation" vote in 2014. http://www.scotreferendum.com/quest...r-referendum-on-independence-at-a-later-date/ What has changed? Nothing. So the majority of Scots who voted voted to remain. So the majority of the whole of the U.K. that voted (which includes Scotland) voted to leave. So the SNP didn't get the result they wanted. So what. That's democracy. The majority of the people who voted (and they are the only ones that count - don't vote, for me you're not entitled to whine afterwards) voted to leave. That's the decision of the people and if you're one of the people (which the Scots are) then live with it and accept it.
If Scotland had a another referendum, won and wanted to seek EU membership - Belgium and Spain have threatened to veto it due to the Catalonia/Flemish independence movements. Anyway, SNP seem to have calmed down since yesterday as they know the score. If there was another referendum they would lose and they know it. With oil prices the way they are it just won't happen. They want freedom from London - to hand it to Brussels. You have to laugh.
Bad decision in my opinion but for all this bleating about recounts, etc is pathetic. What annoys me is the EU members now turning round championing the need for reform and so on. Maybe it wouldn't have been out if you morons hadn't rejected this notion and got so out of touch with the swell of feeling among the general public across the EU. Talk about after the lord mayors show. I think things will settle a bit but I do think we might have a hard period ahead.
1. In the run up to the last referendum, when the opinion polls showed the independence side winning, David Cameron, Ed Milliband and Nick Clegg signed a letter to the Scots that told them that the only way for Scotland to remain in the EU was to vote to stay part of the UK. 2. That same letter told the Scots that if the UK ever voted to leave then Scotland would be free to hold another referendum in the future. 3. The SNP ran for power in the Scottish elections that promised that if the UK voted to leave the UK while Scotland had voted to remain then Scotland would be offered a fresh independance referendum. I don't believe for one second that the SNP wanted this to happen yet. It is too early for them and the timing is completely wrong. That is why Nicola Sturgeon was so careful about her wording yesterday about seeking to speak to all the other EU countries first. However, she has to do it otherwise she would be breaking an election pledge. Personally I don't think they would win, but then I was also surprised to see several people that I know voted to stay last time who were posting pro independence statuses on facebook yesterday. I spoke to my sister last night, who as an Englishwoman living in Scotland was vehemently in favour of staying last time. She told me she would vote to leave this time. Don't underestimate the feeling of anger in Scotland about what has happened - not just the vote, but the sequence of events going back to the promises about remaining in the EU. This isn't about economics for the Scots. It's about being inclusive.
I voted to remain and think we have made a terrible decision that will harm us (and others) for years to come. However, now that we have voted we can't change it, so yes, I do hope I am wrong and that it works.
I've mentioned before, I wasn't fussed either way, but to call more than half the country racists is a tad silly. I would have thought the vast majority would have thought long and hard about their decision. There was a lot more to it than immigration.
I agree but I don't doubt a large swell seemed swayed by the reclaiming of borders argument - which was quite frankly moronic and a complete gimmick.
I would agree that it is unfair to call everyone who voted leave as a racist. It is very unlikely that anyone who thought long and hard about this vote would have voted leave on the basis of immigration as leaving will have zero effect on immigration. It is far more likely that those who thought about it before voting would have voted leave for economic or ideological reasons.
He's joking. Either that or he needs sectioning under the mental health act but he needed that long before this referendum happened.
