To Boris:
Yeah basically this. But also keep in mind that the depreciation of the pound might attract more tourists who'll spend their money on the local British economy.Indeed. You could have joined the euro and have a weaker currency and so do more exports.
But also, the UK sells more services than goods. And those services are going to Frankfurt.
Yep it's sicking.Just awful how many "old immigrants" have voted out mainly in protest against the "new immigrants". Incredibly hypocritical.
Nigel Farage said it was a victory for decent people. This is a victory for hate. It sickens me to think that the people I live with that surround me hate this much.90% of the people that voted leave weren't swayed by proper arguments, but by good old fashioned racism.
That is a genuine possibilityMy friend who voted leave keeps telling me not to worry and that everything will go back to normal because they were just scaremongering
London already attracts more tourists than any other city in the world. A tighter control of the borders, which might mean visas for some countries or at least, some procedural bureaucracy, won't help the tourism.Yeah basically this. But also keep in mind that the depreciation of the pound might attract more tourists who'll spend their money on the local British economy.
We Irish caftards could help, considering we're fecked too if you leave, but we're not british citizens so it wouldn't be right.To put it into perspective. 33.5m people voted yesterday. So the Petition would need to get to 335k to represent 1% of the voters and 1.7m for 5%. So this really does need pushing pretty hard.

To be honest, I think they'd be better off calling a second referendum because the Leave campaign lied so many times.To put it into perspective. 33.5m people voted yesterday.

people at work were saying we're doing this for our kids.Infuriated by what a vocal, yet idiotic majority, have done. Especially the older voters who've chosen this path against the wishes of the youth. Better still they wont be around to live with the consequences. I'm glad to see a large majority of people I know on Facebook feel the same.

I agree mate. Have you guys had the email conformation through yet? Still not had mine and its been a couple of hours.

What, and to whom? We're overwhelmingly a service based economy.
That's our next PM you're talking about. We're so fecked it's not even funny.A bit like this?
Fair enough, but it has already reached well over 100,000 signatures which is enough for it to be debated in parliament at least.
By the time they have set a date for that, I'm confident there will be around 300k.
How long before another Scottish referendum ?
What exactly are you planning to export? Manufacturing is dead and financial services are almost certainly moving abroad.A weaker pound means more export.
I actually hope this happens, because I could get a Welsh passport and just say a big feck you to England. Sadly the Welsh aren't nearly as bothered about independence as the Scottishwe'll kick out wales as soon as the going gets tough.
That is a genuine possibility
Britain agrees to keep every single EU law exactly as it is (for now).
I feel like it's also a victory for anti-intellectualism. So little of this vote was based on actual research and information, and so much of it was based on emotion that was whipped up into a frenzy by the government and the media. It's always happened but not to this extent in my memoryNigel Farage said it was a victory for decent people. This is a victory for hate. It sickens me to think that the people I live with that surround me hate this much.
God help us all if he's teamed up with Trump.That's our next PM you're talking about. We're so fecked it's not even funny.

It does show how shifting the time-frame just a few days can massively change the picture though.That might be because sterling became stronger in the last few days when it looked that 'Remain' will win.
Still struggling to get my head around this, had taken it for granted that the vote would be Remain. Stupid cnuts.
Genuine question though, there seems to be agreement that the political parties are out of touch with what the average man in Little England wants, which has probably been the consensus for decades. Can anyone actually define what the average man wants though? Where is the end game for the Leave campaign, where do they see things going from here?
We should start making a list of pros for Brexit, I'll start
1. Magaluf will now be a lot nicer.
Scottish Ref will go through with a landslide, they'll take their oil away and join the Euro. fecking Sterling even further you would think.
In NI I'm not sure if a referendum would vote to leave, though you really can't imagine what the idiots in power here will campaign for or against, a united Ireland or remain vote I would imagine because NI can not exist on its own, it's populous wouldn't know what to do with themselves.
What a complete and utter shit show.
#control?
You have to respect the decision of the British electorate - 1.3m is a fair win. The only reason for another referendum is if the EU decide to offer us a deal that doesn't include freedom of movement. You can't just keep asking the question until you get the answer you want. I really doubt there were 1m people who had a reasonable excuse for not being able to vote yesterday, let alone 1m who would have voted remain.
