Traders have been rather bullish for the past few weeks (thinking it would be a remain result) and so £ and FTSE were already higher than normal so the drop is not as big in real terms as reported.
As you say, traders are a fickle, skittish lot, it will recover.
I voted leave but I'm keeping my head down among my friends on facebook, there is a lot of anger out there......
I'm not racist, I don't like Farrage, I'm actually on the blue side of the fence. I just don't think our infrastructure, especially here in the southeast can cope with the continued influx of immigrants. Refugees, let them in, if someon is running away from terror and a life of war then we shouldn't turn them away, no one should. But if they've come to work our fields, wash our cars, clean our offices they they all need houses, all need medical care. Where I live the council are being forced to build another 600 homes on green belt land in a town that's already struggling for schools, Drs, and social housing/care. Maybe if we didn't have this sudden influx in such high numbers, things might be different.
We have an NHS already struggling to cope with the people already living here let alone adding more to the list.
The people I'm talking about are the ones legally entitled to come here, and in great numbers, too great in my opinion for us to cope as a country.
