The fact that that's what you got from what I said does represent your lack of intelligence. The point I was trying to make is that not everyone who is voting league is uneducated. Not that being uneducated neccesarily makes you less intelligent in Politics anyway.
EU Referendum Results Thread | Leave have won, Cameron resigns

I think you are giving them too much credit.
Some of my clients already had plans in place to relocate.
Mental. Even just the opportunity to study abroad, work abroad and work together with other cultures should surely resonate more with you. It's shut the UK off and they've ran away from any sort of co-operation. Ridiculous really.
Erm hugely misguided. Look at the bigger picture ffs.
There probably won't be one!
Incredible. I wasn't expecting this. Damien practically called it. Hope he bet on that as a consolation prize
For how long? Every generation will get older by default, and we already have a bigger surplus of elderly people than any generation in history....If the old outnumber the young, then how can voting for the future of said young ever be fair?
By definition they have a democratic right to vote....But lets not pretend there isn't at least a devil's advocate argument against.
As I said earlier - The baby boomer generation had it handed to them on a plate by their parents who sacrificed every thing for them. They lived on credit, buying houses and holiday homes and making it incredibly difficult for the following generations to have even a modest first home. Their parting gift to those following generations? fecking up the economy further and bringing back the values their preceding generation died fighting against.
The old haven't really fecked the young have they... There are more young people after all. Let's not go into percentage, ratios and proportion math but they don't give you actual numbers.
I don't know how many people you know with degrees, but let's just say you don't have to be a genius to get one by any means.
So everyone concerned about immigration is racist? I'm not following
Not even close to being right.
Bold words by someone who has yet to go through college.
Yes my lack of intelligence. In 3 years time (or maybe 4), you will stick your head in the sand.
British people worked abroad before 1974 and I'm sure they will do after the result tonight.
Throw away 40 years of collective knowledge and replace it with Rule Brittainia principles from the 1800s...
Smart.
So, this has actually happened. I don´t really have words for that.
I have no idea how big the effects of the Brexit will be.
Some things I´m pretty certain of, though:
- The rift between Scotland and the rest of the UK is now immense and I don´t see them staying much longer.
- The UK is now the country to look at for countries thinking about having a similar vote, meaining that depending on how the UK fares now has the potential to become a threat to the Union itself.
- The UK is also now the poster child for every EU sceptic party in Europe, including the French nationalists and the German "AfD". They will celebrate every success the UK will have now and push further against the established parties. This makes the UK now a direct political threat to the current German and French governments. They will try everything to sell the coming negotiations of the trade deal between the UK and the EU as success.
- All economies in the EU will take a blow, the UK by far the hardest.
This will be some fun negotiations. The EU led by Germany and France won´t give the UK an inch in these talks. From where I stand the UK will be lucky to have the same deal Norway has, which includes free movement and single market, so the vast majority of the rules of the EU. UK will follow the same rules they do right now without any influence to make and change them. Well done UK, well done. History being made indeed.

So for the first time in 12 months Donald Trump will take the backseat in news for at least the next week.
Think this is it for me and the Caf for a while, not sure how to take this, completely terrified about what might happen.
Fortune favours the bold.
I said it too....
But with all said and done, what are we going to do about it?
I can see more riots down the line...
One thing that's pissing me off more than the result is the amount of people happy that they "witnessed history".
And pride cometh before the fall.
Crazy things is NONE of the politicos or bigwigs wanted this or have any passion to implement a leave strategy. So who will do the work?
I prefer your words.
Showing your age now. That's a sweeping statement without any fecking context.
Go find someone with a 1st class honours in Maths, Engineering or Computer Science and tell me they're stupid.
and what exactly do you know about how easy it was to do so?
Neil Hamilton already talking about sweeping away regulations this morning. Which is handy, as equal pay is not really that important.
Cities like Bradford, Birmingham and Luton who have a lot of Asians have voted to leave.
Very surprising. It's nothing to do with racism.
Yep. As a young person I feel utterly alienated in my own country and relentlessly attacked by older voters.
Does this mean Boris Johnson will become the PM?
Quite possibly. He's the favourite, anyway.
Damn those babies for not going out and voting! Racist OAP xenophobic cnuts.
By people I mean OAPs obviously because young people wouldn't have voted out...
And there are people with these things who voted out!

I'm the same, I just cannot believe that so many thought it was a good idea to leave.
I'm young, going into teaching, live in the north of England and am genuinely gutted by this.
It's anecdotal, but the amount of uneducated feckwits I know that have voted leave, in tandem with the baby boomer generation that have no thought or consideration for the young, have left the country in a remarkable hole.
Boris Johnson will bring the working poor to its knees. I wonder how all of these racist feckwits will feel then?

It wasn't long ago you were telling me all working class people were thick and elderly were racist. Is there an age requirement for sweeping statements that I'm unaware of?
Of course people like you suggested are hugely intelligent I wouldn't disagree with you. But I know people who are doing let's say sports science and fashion degrees who aren't exactly "intelligent"
I think that would be true if France, Germany and the other EU member states were as powerful as you make out.
I think people are vastly under estimating the value the UK brings to the union in the grand scheme of things. Countries will do whats in their best interests not spite themselves just for the sake of it.
No one actually KNOWS how this will play out. The rest is just scaremongering.
So we could have Trump and Boris as the leaders of the two symbols of democracy? The Chinese must be pissing themselves.
Saying that this is also a failure of the liberal, left who have failed to engage properly with issues that clearly seem to matter.

Which is why Cameron got the public backing from the Leave campaign. They know his position is untenable and it masks just how cynical Boris' actions have been in the past few weeks when he finally throws his hat into the ring.
