EU!

[mickvp]

Less than 5% in it at the moment, with some of the big sectors still to announce. Close and close enough I would say.

[mickvp]

Looks like leave has won it then save for a miracle at this point.

Since almost every section on Scotland voted remain, will this mean another independence referendum?

Confirmed now, we're out of Europe!

[Frosties]

Never mind Merkel

[HarryHornby]

I voted for out, but shit, I can't believe the result was leave.  I genuingly thought the country would bottle it.

[unfazed]

How many more did the same? Mortgage holders beware now.

[alan09]

All we need to do now is win the Euro's

[Flooky]

I voted leave too but I didn't think it would go this way, glad it did .
I think the biggest mistake the stay campaign made was the fear thing...I think british people are by nature polite and tolerant but don't respond well to threats , we just dig in  and wont be bullied.
I am now off for a FULL ENGLISH down the café..

[TOADY]

oh well, see you Europe, hello world commerce .............. hopefully  :eek

[TOADY]

just seen on the news Cameron stepping down

[Fazerider]

Wow! The bookies will be crying into their cornflakes this morning. :lol

[fazersharp]

just seen on the news Cameron stepping down

I refer you to what I said way back  in [size=1.35em]APRIL[/size]

[size=1.35em]If we vote out then Camoron AND Doshborn will both also be out too, because there is no way after all their doom-saying that they can then precide over what will be a smooth painless fast transition.[/size]

And again yesterday even when it was looking like an in vote

[size=1.35em]It will be an out vote then DC and Osborn will go, then there will be a leadership election in which Gove will be pm with Boris not wanting the job (yet) Nigel will be Lord Farage so he can be given a job on the cabinet[/size]

Pound has nosedived.

Scotand has voted to remain.
Northern Ireland has voted to remain.

Westminster needs the cooperation of those two parliaments to leave.

As for Winston Churchill, he was in favour of uniting Europe.

Not a good day for the UK.

[fazersharp]

Pound has nosedived.

The markets are run by silly children who get scared by the slightest thing.
Already as you write to say it has nosedived it is now rallying again.

There is no reason for the markets to change at all because right now we are still in the EU - we are still trading nothing has changed.

If the markets never go down then no one would ever make money out of them by buying when it dropped low, also when markets drop it means that people are selling - in other words cashing in on their past gains, they then wait until the drop in price is enough and then buy back the same ones that they have just sold. 

[HarryHornby]

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.

[locksmith]

Not a good day for the UK?

65% of voters where I live think otherwise!

[lew600fazer]

Initial shock GBP £ bombs , just checked the markets looks as if it is a bouncing bomb, from a low this morning of €1.20 already back @€1.25 and still going up. Finland, Sweden and now Holland are looking to call for a referendum.
Looks as if the EU will implode or will become a club of 2 Germany and France + the other member states looking for a handout.

[BBROWN1664]

I heard yesterday that even France were getting wobbly about staying in without the British helping fund their farmers.

Its all kicking off now in Westminster. Cameron has said he will leave and Labour MP's have tabled a vote of no confidence in the gnome. Looks like new leaders all round (apart from Farage)

[Millietant]

The stocks and money traders only make money on uncertainty (they're just professional gamblers), so it's their job to make sure the markets rise and fall - whether there's a reason, or not.


Just imagine, stable currencies, stable economies, wtf would stock market and money market traders do ?.


We get screwed by these guys every time someone farts somewhere in the world - who do you think drove things up yesterday (and why did they do it ?).
