"Scotland and Ireland voted in. I hope they vote to be independent " Scotland will be out the door in a flash. Although it's slightly ironic that the only part of England that agreed with them is their old enemy London! | |||

"I don't like the comments on the other thread that inferred everyone who voted out were stupid or ill informed. Both sides of the argument had people supporting them that are well informed, well educated, and not so, to infer everyone who voted a particular way is stupid is not correct. I will not say which way i voted but I hate the fact people are getting personal about this." | |||

The vote was between people that want to try again and again to reform it and those who give up and take a different path. Those of us who voted to stay can't really say with objective certainty that it could have been reformed and anyone who liked it just the way it was is a bloody cretin! | |||

"Only three regions voted to stay, London, Scotland and Northern Ireland, everywhere else voted to leave" Exactly, I voted in tune with my southern fairy neightbours but I can imagine if I was a northern monkey then I'd be pretty fed up now. It's been 8 fecking years since the financial crisis and most people in the EU have a lower standard of living now than before the crisis. Fact. Can't blame then for being pissed off about it. | |||

"One of the best quotes I heard from someone in Cornwall today (where we will be losing a lot of EU funding) was "Well, I voted out because I didn't think it would actually happen" Hmmm - How does the voting system work again " Ironically I had a family member say the same thing! I'm not suggesting they represent many voters though. | |||

"And now the SMP will use this as another excuse in which to have another Scottish referendum which has already caused several families to break apart, to do this again is unjust! " How on Earth can it be unjust?? What utter nonsense. The MAJORITY of this country did not vote to leave! How can there NOT be a referendum?! | |||

"I say that I should have bought USD with my GBP months ago when I first said I would. Calm down folks it's only dropped 9 pence!!!" It's not an issue of calming down, it's just numbers. The £ was at a high when I moved here and had to buy it with my $, and now when I'm considering going back, my savings has the potential to tank when I could have avoided it by buying USD three months ago.

Oh I'm not worried, I just don't understand the need to get personal 51.8% of those that voted voted out. Perhaps people should looked to the 28% of oeople who didnt vote and wonder why? Why didn't they vote, was it apathy, couldn't be bothered, not understanding etc. Not having a go at those who voiced their opinion. | |||

It's the speculation I could have avoided, along with the potential loss. Saying it may be up again in three months doesn't change the fact that I could have avoided gambling with my savings by changing it earlier. | |||

It is only logical. While I would hate to see Scotland leave us (as it has a special place in my heart), I wonder whether - at least economically - it would be a good thing for them. In any event, I don't think the EU will be around in 10 years time. | |||

How on Earth can it be unjust?? What utter nonsense. The MAJORITY of this country did not vote to leave! How can there NOT be a referendum?! " In this referendum 62% of Scottish voters elected to stay in the EU, in 2014, 55% decided to stay in the UK. The result in Scotland suggests to me that felt the bigger majority felt it was better for the UK as a whole to stay in the EU, just as the 2014 vote suggests the majority wish to stay in the UK. The two are not mutually exclusive votes, I see no reason why another referendum should be held in the immediate future. If Scotland did vote in another referendum and voted for independence, they would have to apply to the EU for membership, which takes years, with no guarantee of entry anyways. So what would happen then? | |||

"Can Britain please chill the fuck out! I have to admit its embarrassing seeing some people who yesterday called for togetherness loosing their shit over this mornings result. The country has spoken, regardless of age, race, IQ, social status, religion, we're leaving the EU together, deal with it! I'm safe in the knowledge you make your own luck in this life and no good comes from living in fear. If any outcome of this referendum effects you long term then change it, simple as that, move to a different part of the country/world, switch jobs, start a new business, meditate, whatever, just use your fucking noggin! Our foreseeable future is mapped out for us well in advance regardless of what choice we made yesterday. The majority of you will still be able to sit on your fat arse at the end of a hard days work making money, part of it which pays towards a corrupt agenda, tuck into your processed food, while being brainwashed with one eye on your financed 52" HD Television and the other surfing Facebook on your financed Apple Mac while you're drip-fed more political bullshit over the coming months aimed at dividing us even more! Those with any amount of intellect will know as a nation it's time to stand together not fall apart. We're all humans living on planet earth, some of us are leaving an imaginary border named the EU, so what, things will work out, they always do." Voicing real concerns about potential consequences isn't living in fear. It's being pragmatic. There are concerns that will have to be taken into account by any person who cares about mitigation of risk, which is important in financial markets and trade deals. Yes, we are all humans living on planet earth. Your comments about "the majority of [us]" only serve to further divide instead of heal. The victors should be gracious in victory. | |||

"Can Britain please chill the fuck out! I have to admit its embarrassing seeing some people who yesterday called for togetherness loosing their shit over this mornings result. The country has spoken, regardless of age, race, IQ, social status, religion, we're leaving the EU together, deal with it! I'm safe in the knowledge you make your own luck in this life and no good comes from living in fear. If any outcome of this referendum effects you long term then change it, simple as that, move to a different part of the country/world, switch jobs, start a new business, meditate, whatever, just use your fucking noggin! Our foreseeable future is mapped out for us well in advance regardless of what choice we made yesterday. The majority of you will still be able to sit on your fat arse at the end of a hard days work making money, part of it which pays towards a corrupt agenda, tuck into your processed food, while being brainwashed with one eye on your financed 52" HD Television and the other surfing Facebook on your financed Apple Mac while you're drip-fed more political bullshit over the coming months aimed at dividing us even more! Those with any amount of intellect will know as a nation it's time to stand together not fall apart. We're all humans living on planet earth, some of us are leaving an imaginary border named the EU, so what, things will work out, they always do." | |||

You can read about it here: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/tea-firm-twinings-stripped-of-10million-132619 As for the shipyards article, it clearly says the Thatcher government used EU structural funds, of their own accord, to close the shipyards instead of investing in them.

"And a crystal ball really isn't needed, just some sense.

It says that Britain’s economic growth will be weaker, following the EU referendum vote. It also warns the the public finances will be weaker than previously forecast, meaning it will be harder to cut the deficit. Moody’s says that the Brexit vote will herald a “prolonged period of uncertainty” for the UK, with negative implications for growth in the medium terms. And it also warns that the effectiveness of economic policymaking could be ‘somewhat diminished’ by the decision. A negative outlook means there is a greater danger of a country being downgraded. It’s three years since Moody’s cut Britain’s AAA rating. It currently has the UK on AA+, the second highest rating.

"Britain will 'go to back of trade queue', White House says - Reuters Posted at 22:37 " here is some more breaking news for you: In 2015 we managed a mutual trade of some $114 Billion. We have to charge 10% import tariffs as we are in the EU (just) but we can ditch those. They only charge us 2.5%. So do tell us what queue we are going to be in let alone at the arse end of because the UK already has a Bilateral Trade Agreement with the USA. This is the total bullshit we have been getting from the Remainers. We export all over the world on agreements we the UK have arranged. Not the EU. Indeed we have better terms for our Commonwealth countries than the rest of the EU. Canadian Trade Agreement takes 7 years? Does it hell. We already have one. | |||

Ok now we get your point the UKs a sinking ship, so the lifeboats are to your right feel free to use them I'd rather the idiots who sank our wonderful ship were made to walk the plank, frankly." our ship weren't all that wonderful under EU ruling we were promised when we joined during the recession in the 70s it would prevent further ones, then the recession of the 80s, 90s and then the greatest recession of our time.

" Here's some Breaking News for all you Brexiters who seem to think everything is turning rosy... "Britain will 'go to back of trade queue', White House says - Reuters Posted at 22:37 here is some more breaking news for you: In 2015 we managed a mutual trade of some $114 Billion. We have to charge 10% import tariffs as we are in the EU (just) but we can ditch those. They only charge us 2.5%. So do tell us what queue we are going to be in let alone at the arse end of because the UK already has a Bilateral Trade Agreement with the USA. This is the total bullshit we have been getting from the Remainers. We export all over the world on agreements we the UK have arranged. Not the EU. Indeed we have better terms for our Commonwealth countries than the rest of the EU. Canadian Trade Agreement takes 7 years? Does it hell. We already have one." But brexiters told us we don't trade with the rest of the world ? | |||

"And a crystal ball really isn't needed, just some sense. Here's more good news on the state of the UK economy just breaking, from International credit ratings agency Moody's: "Moody's cuts outlook on UK debt to negative Breaking news: Moody’s, the credit rating agency, has just lowered the outlook on Britain’s credit rating to negative from stable. It says that Britain’s economic growth will be weaker, following the EU referendum vote. It also warns the the public finances will be weaker than previously forecast, meaning it will be harder to cut the deficit. Moody’s says that the Brexit vote will herald a “prolonged period of uncertainty” for the UK, with negative implications for growth in the medium terms. And it also warns that the effectiveness of economic policymaking could be ‘somewhat diminished’ by the decision. A negative outlook means there is a greater danger of a country being downgraded. It’s three years since Moody’s cut Britain’s AAA rating. It currently has the UK on AA+, the second highest rating. This morning Standard & Poor’s, the only firm that Britain still on triple-A, warned that it is likely to downgrade Britain." But don't worry, you get a blue passport now!

And thanks to Brexit, we're a joke. The New Yorker has an interesting cover - John Cleese doing his funny walk straight off a cliff. Sums it all up nicely. | |||

"I have just been reading metro online "People are already regretting voting to leave the EU – here’s what they told us" Comments such as: ‘I feel sick and wish we remained. ‘lied to and deceived’. Meanwhile on Twitter, dozens shared their regret at backing Brexit: Not gunna lie I strongly regret voting to leave the eu. I voted leave to help our economy. However the £ has plummeted and I immediately regret my decision ??. Plus Farage is a lying tosser Those are just some comments, the regrets seem to come in now." They haven't even got a clue. | |||

"Once the referendum was announced there was always going to be some who were going to use their vote to have a go at Cameron because of the austerity.. and others maybe a small minority who knows just how many voted purely because of what they saw as Labours open door policy ( that those who have come in are working and contributing meant nothing), they are and will continue with some to be simply foreigners who have taken 'our jobs' (despite a lot of those jobs being available to all).. there is a disenfranchisement with politics in this country which has been getting steadily worse as people feel that voting in local, national and European elections does nothing for them on the whole.. This one gave them a question that they felt their answer would be listened to, and it has and it should be respected no matter how one feels because that is democracy and any other alternative is not worth considering.. the ramifications and the consequences for a lot of us in this country may well be costly both socially and economically in the short term and beyond.. the Bank of England can only do so much QE and this decision could tip us back to the 08 crash scenario but that will have to be dealt with if it happens.. this is not 'sour grapes', i accept that this is a democratic decision and yes there is much not right about the EU as an organisation which has been due proper reform for a while.. yesterday we were in one camp or the other or were not going to bother.. today we are where we are and we my want to think about that .." | |||

We will have a much stronger economy and be free of European controls . Energy prices may drop because we not have to adhere to the various EU green packages . We have a strong car industry and some leading research and technology companies . Maybe speak to those who actually run successfully companies and provide employment . Lord Bamford is a good example. We have a great future to look forward to and we can now ignore some of the human rights legalisation that helps criminals . In addition we can now hopefully control immigration . Today is a turning point in the history of Britain . With a Conservative government voted in by more voters than any other party and the majority of residents in the UK wanting to leave the UK . the future not only looks bright, it looks great . | |||

Armed Forces Day to show my respect for those currently serving and the 11th November for those who gave their lives and the veterans .... I don't think 2 days out of 365 is too much to ask and it is sad you seem to think showing respect is something to ridicule. | |||

"I don't like the result but it is what it is. I hope Scotland go for freedom this time though. I've seen quite a few Brexiters on Twitter shocked that we've left and now wishing they hadn't voted. How can people be so stupid? But I'm glad the NHS is going to get an extra £350m a week. That's great the nhs wont get 350m a week it was more a figure of speech that some people took as gospel. if wanted with the spare 350 it could go into the nhs but in reality they will het no where near that but will surely get more funding now than they ever have I'm sure we were told it'd be spent on the NHS. That's what I'm expecting. " I do not think anyone is too worried over this figure . Just think of the savings when we clamp down on health tourists and misuse of the NHS . | |||
