Waiting for remain camp to go to eu court to say as it was raining in London their human rights were affected as they could not vote

Citation needed. The stock market isn't the economy. Its even more divorced from the economy most people participate in.

How do you think stocks are valued? And what do you think he link between that and the U.K. as a prosperous economy is?

 

[GregLombardi]

There is too much wealth in the world. People just want to have fun at this point.

They're in for a rude awakening.

 

[oatmeal]

Lol that's good

 

[Psychotext]

Edit - I'm a drunken idiot.

 

[Wallach]

At least Scotland didn't have their head up their ass. Hopefully they get out of the UK over this and can get back into the EU.

Fucking mental, seriously.

Are retirement plans not a thing? Is the pound collapsing not a thing that affects people?

 

[AllenShrz]

So, if the UKP, Yen and Dollar are losing... which currency is winning?

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Don't really buy that scaremongering. It doesn't matter now anyway, we aren't part of the EU now.

On our own I think we can negotiate back in fine. We gave a solid message to the EU tonight we still love them. 100 fucking %.

Well, you are. This isn't an instantaneous thing.

 

[MHWilliams]

I haven't been following this.

Why is everyone branding people who vote leave as bigots and racists? What's up with that?

I genuinely don't know the positives and negatives of both options.

Most of those leading the charge on the Leave vote were doing so largely for nationalistic reasons.

This is one of the most famous of UKIP ads.

Let's see if you can glean the focus of these ads. Does that go everyone person who voted for it? No. But the very heads of the movement? Oh yeah.

If you voted Leave, you better be fucking ready to take a few harsh words for your moronic, ignorant actions that negatively impact millions more than the narcissistic few you represent.

Disgusting creatures.

Grow up

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

If this can become a reality, Trump can become a reality.

It can, but thankfully it's much less likely

 

[eyeball_kid]

Time for the Queen to lay down the law.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Why the hell do people keep bringing Trump's chances into this? There's a list that stretches a mile long why there's no comparison here other than "lol racism."

I guess since the Brexit was also seem as something beyond possibility due to the obvious negative outcome. Stupidity CAN prevail. Fortunately the US general election isn't as close as this vote was... Yet.

 

[Audioboxer]

Can an independent Scotland support itself economically?

Small population, and some okay export. Decent working/employment rates as well.

We will get Trident to fuck, England can have it and pay for it and we will be okay.

Well, you are. This isn't an instantaneous thing.

You know what I mean. As someone in my 20s I plan to be alive for a lot longer than the next 2 years.

 

[Faddy]

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

Lol No

Zika virus and now a Brexit? This isn't news, this is the prologue to, "Children of Men."

 

[nephilimdj]

Trying to catch a falling knife is almost never a wise investment, doing it on currencies is even less so, and doing it on something that is driven by uncharted political actions is really risky if you ask me.

I know a lot of people who got rich of the USD 25% drop in 2003.

 

[SgtCobra]

Godspeed Great Britain.

 

[Easy_D]

Easy to blame UKIP but FUCK YOU, Remain voters too lazy to get out and vote.

Voter apathy is the fucking worst.

10 billion wiped off HSBC

2016 has been a strange year with the deaths

 

[cdyhybrid]

Easy to blame UKIP but FUCK YOU, Remain voters too lazy to get out and vote.

And this is why everyone needs to come out and put the boot down firmly on Trump's throat in November.

It's not enough that we win. We need to send a message.

 

[darkwing]

So, if the UKP, Yen and Dollar are losing... which currency is winning?

gold

 

[NeOak]

So, if the UKP, Yen and Dollar are losing... which currency is winning?

How is the dollar losing?

The Yen is gaining value.

Edit: oh, you mean the markets. Yeah, RIP.

 

[Matsukaze]

Hmm... What's an appropriate theme for this turn of events?

Oh right!

But for real, UK-GAF, I wish you the best with this chaos. Stay strong.

 

[catpurrcat]

So, if the UKP, Yen and Dollar are losing... which currency is winning?

The yen and dollar are fine, rising, unless im interpreting the graphs wrong.

[Lebon14]

asked in the other thread, just in case;

I know shit about economics...so...

Will this affect the CAD dollar in any way? We are already hurting here with our fucked currency

In the brief moment that I saw the graphics on xe.com (coz it's down over the sheer volume of people trying to see the exchange rate), our dollar has been buttfucked by this decision. We lost ~2¢ vs. US$ when I saw it. FFS. When it was slowly recovering from the Fort McMurray drop...

 

[damisa]

I am working 12am to 7am because of BREXIT(I work for a financial company in new york) People are freaking out

From an unknown dealer morning commentary: After Brexit we will be looking at Grexit, Departugal, Italeave, Czechout, Oustria, Finish, Slovakout, Latervia, Byegium

I thought it was V for Vendetta.

 

[danowat]

Fuck......

 

[uncleniccius]

If we left the UK we wouldn't be in the EU.

I imagine they'd be willing to negotiate on the grounds that Scotland voted in.

 

[avaya]

So the emails I got at midnight were spot on.

This country is full of absolute cunts.

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Thank you mum.

Oh yeah, I'm from Northern Ireland, I can get an Irish passport too? And my wife/kids?

 

[TechnicPuppet]

Wales voted remain... just about.

No they didn't.

[BreezyLimbo]

"Democracy sucks because I didn't get my way"?

That is literally what you wrote.

I'm not British.

And do tell what's a good thing about leaving the UK. I mean, the pound has dropped so much already.

Or....despite seeing the pound drop so far....despite fearmongering taking control of the people, do you really think Leave is such a good thing? Sometimes people shouldn't have a choice in bringing about an outcome that is only negative for their country.

 

[Mung]

The baby boomers have fucked us over so many times. This is the ultimate.

 

[Warm Machine]

The currency tanking is actually good news especially if it loses more in another 2 hours. Having everyone realize how serious the vote was for their economy could be helpful sober proof in nullifying the result.

 

[Fou-Lu]

So, how soon before Scotland can vote to leave the UK again?

 

[Heshinsi]

Now since this isn't legally binding, can Cameron just say fuckit and not go ahead with the exit?

 

[Mimosa97]

It's the same bullshit in every country. Old people fucking the next generations over. Taking decisions that WE will have to live with for decades while they only have a few years left on this earth.

Fuck man democracy is the best political system we have but shit like this is infuriating. Old people fucking scared of every bit of change who want shit to always remain the same and can't fucking understand that the world is moving fast and you have to adapt or die.

 

[rodvik]

So the UK join such pariah rogue nations as Norway and Switzerland.

I daresay the world will learn to live with it.

Except, in this case, they didn't even win.

gold

Why? How does that work?

 

[Lo-Volt]

How is the dollar losing?

The Yen is gaining value.

Edit: oh, you mean the markets. Yeah, RIP.

Also, Japan has long preferred a cheap yen, so this isn't preferable for them either.
