Not having a stake in this at all, but I sympathize with every UK citizen who voted Remain.

This is a disastrous outcome, with horrible implications in both the financial and social circles.

Now the thought of Trump winning seems even more viable than ever, as I though Remain was the obvious win.

Fuck.

 

[Qasiel]

I'm utterly disappointed in my country. Fear and ignorance has taken the place of common sense and unity.

 

[Tak3n]

So Wales did not do what they thought



The big cities did not come as predicted apart for a couple of areas

 

[Kimawolf]

Well. you guys are strong, you'll survive i'm sure. It'll be rough i'm sure, definitely, but the British people will survive. I'm sure America will have your back.

 

[pbsapeer]

Anyone know of any Pharma jobs in the us? Considering leaving this god forsaken island

 

[belvedere]

Well, America's done for as well. Trump can say he called this like a boss and he'll take the presidency.

How fast can I move my family to Sweden?

 

[Mr Cola]

One things for certain, aint gonna give us a referendum again for a looooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggg time.

 

[Skellig Gra]

So, I was planning a trip to New York in a months time, but hadn't booked the tickets yet. Is the pound dropping going to fuck over the prices/make it more expensive?

Yes, significantly

 

[uncleniccius]

I am honestly proud of my fellow peeps in the UK. I was a leave voter but I was fully expecting remain to win. I honestly did not think this country had any fucking balls left to vote for leave. I am so glad they have found the balls to do this.

On another note god I would love to see Davey Camerons fucking face right now.

I know this is something late reply but yes, so glad we've had the guts to fuck up our economy completely.

This decision is senseless. I'm seriously in utter shock. When I'm looking for graduate jobs I imagine I'm going to be having a much harder time. And what do we get in exchange for this economic risk? A tiny bit of pooled sovereignty back. Madness.

This is one of the worst days in British political history. And I think in 10 years many will see it that way.

It depends on how quick can pound recover, hint: it won't be fast.

 

[Alienous]

I think it might be the tiredness, but I feel like I'm living in a pseudo-world.

 

[CyberPunked]

Wait, what? What do we do now?

 

[avaya]

Armageddon.

 

[Syder]

Man. Back to back years where British voters completely shit the bed.

Since I've been voting, the vote I've gone with has never won. How do I feel about the voting populace...

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

I'm so sorry, UK-GAF. My condolences are worth jack-all, but you have them nonetheless.

Honestly, these posts mean more than you think. Going to work in a few hours and probably getting a newsletter about this is going to be tough to say the least.

 

[NeOak]

They want the right to govern themselves and they don't want a bunch of corrupt dicks controlling them.

AYYY LMAO

 

[ferrasvansen]

Scotland, you guys NEED to have another Independence Referendum, get the FUCK away from the English as soon as possible.

When Boris becomes PM it will be 80% plus for independence, he is utterly despised here.

 

[gerg]

So, I was planning a trip to New York in a months time, but hadn't booked the tickets yet. Is the pound dropping going to fuck over the prices/make it more expensive?

Unless things bounce back very quickly (which I doubt) things are already 10% more expensive.

 

[tearsintherain]

Is this the beginning of the end for the EU? Would Germany or France also vote to leave in the next few years?

It always seems weird to put to a popular vote very significant decisions like this, while people bitch at the US congress for getting nothing done in many ways it kind of shows you why its sometimes smart to have so many layers of power, so nothing can be done quickly yet slow progress can wind its way through. If it was up to popular vote US would never have passed the civil rights or marriage equality laws.

 

[Carl2291]

Scotland, you guys NEED to have another Independence Referendum, get the FUCK away from the English as soon as possible.

Don't forget the Welsh, who have also had enough of the EU

 

[Bergerac]

Celebration time people....so great to feel justified against a tide of attack dogs, we have merged victorious..

You've won nothing. Our economy down the toilet because you're shit scared of IS.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Major leave votes by a lot of areas usually consisting of solid Labour voters, also, Wales.

I thought 'Remain' was leading in the polls?

What happened to that?

 

[Dr.Acula]

NeoGAF ads already dropping hints.

 

[Yamauchi]

Congrats, UK.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

Price of gold is spiking hard.

 

[whitehawk]

Wow. Can't believe it happened.

 

[Kabouter]

Yeah but at the same time you're equating that to a cessation of European cooperation. I think that will continue.

Yes, I am. Nationalists tend to be blinded by fanaticism and don't want compromise or cooperation. There are some dark times ahead :/

 

[Liberty4all]

1995 Canada for Quebec staying in the Federation. Except this is the reverse result.

 

[kotodama]

London should leave with Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar.

 

[Stumpokapow]

So will Cameron resign tonight or tomorrow?

 

[darkwing]

double post

 

[Darkstorne]

That moment when you realise the majority of your countrymen are muppets...

 

[Zelias]

Dear Scotland, if you leave, can you take the North of England with you too?

 

[perfectchaos007]

I feel like some Brits may have voted leave out of pure morbid curiosity of what the consequence would be if they did leave. Wonder if people in the US will vote Trump under similar pretenses.

 

[Gallbaro]

Euro taking a beating to, capital is going to run to the US.

 

[brochiller]

Anyone know of any Pharma jobs in the us? Considering leaving this god forsaken island

You're not getting into the US unless you have family here. Sponsorship is near impossible unless you have a PhD. I work in Pharma.

 

[cdyhybrid]

When does Scotland leave the UK and rejoin the EU?

Immediately, hopefully.

I feel like some Brits may have voted leave out of pure morbid curiosity of what the consequence would be if they did leave. Wonder if people in the US will vote Trump under similar pretenses.

This actually gives me hope that this won't benefit Trump. We Americans value our money far too much to ignore what's happening economically as a direct result of this.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Devastated. Especially when I look at the demographics of the voters.

 

[solarus]

If only my family was ever willing to move, I'm stuck here forever.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Wait, it passed?!?!?!?!

Holy fuck

 

[Vyrance]

I wasn't checking this thread today because I didn't honestly think Britain would leave the EU. Craziness

 

[blastprocessor]

goodbye Brussels.

 

[Honey Bunny]

Hackney leave 22%. Lmao.

 

[Dryk]

David Cameron was so desperate not to be remembered for the pig incident that he set in motion the disintegration of the United Kingdom.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

This is gonna mess with our 401ks in the US isn't it.

Damnit.

I don't get why people follow day to day changes in their 401k anyways. Unless you plan on cashing out everything then day to day volatility should not be an issue to be concerned about. The long term trend of the market is still obviously upwards.

 

[brownfedora]

I am going to London on Saturday (from the US).

With the pound collapsing, should I be buying up scotch, etc. to take advantage of the favorable exchange rate.

What are some unique goods to buy in the UK?

Too soon?

 

[PeskyToaster]

This had better not lead to other countries leaving the EU. The great European experiment, with the goal of preventing another global scale war like World War I and II, is heading towards failure.

I think NATO did a better job at that than the EU.

 

[Betty]

Scotland, you guys NEED to have another Independence Referendum, get the FUCK away from the English as soon as possible.

I voted no before and would've again if we'd stayed in the EU.

But i'm all for seceding if it means we can rejoin the EU.

 

[krioto]

Ok Scotland - give that independence referendum another go now.

 

[novenD]

U.S Gaffer here, genuinely distraught at this turn of events. What a mess.
