Former Blair adviser Alister Campbell saying a "hard border" between the Republic and Northern Ireland will now happen. Christ Britain, what have you done?!

 

[blastprocessor]

[Christoff Yurievich]

So here I sit in Windsor and I'm in country for two more weeks before I go home. Crap.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

beautiful really. could almost hear the birds tweeting jerusalem. i'm off out to bulk buy croissants then get on the housing ladder for 50p as johnny foreigner flees his ill gotten property.

 

[SirRattleBalls]

As a brit im so embarrassed right now, the British electorate was so uneducated on what they where voting for.

 

[FunkyMonk]

Now I know this is a silly question, but did the referendum contain wording that excludes further votes in the next two years to call this off? Like maybe when the people wake up tomorrow and realize what they have done?

nope, the vote was very clearly worded. No mention of further votes on the matter. It was : remain in the EU or leave.

 

[Audioboxer]

I asked earlier and got a few responses, but I'm seriously wondering. Can an independent Scotland support itself economically?

From my limited understanding, Scotland's economy is significantly subsidized by England.

It will be tough but we are a small nation with some decent export and will swiftly get rid of Trident.

Nope situation has changed, we were told our EU status was protected if we stayed, we had no choice on this vote we had to accept it.

Look forward to the next 24 hours of the same Scots who were scared into voting No getting called morons and told you made your vote, no going back on it.

And the Labour Party probably trying to blame us for Brexit.

 

[MrPing1000]

Just according to keikaku

 

[weekev]

Can someone help with my questions?

Okay, couple of questions.

1) What happens when markets open?
Absolute carnage, sell everything and invest in Gold.

2) What happens if it's 'bad'?
I'm not sure there is an if. When it is bad, the global economy will be sent spiralling into recession, Unemployment is gonna go up, many businesses will stop being businesses, but hey at least we can stop the mass immigration of eastern Europeans who have actually had a positive impact on our economy.

3) What is the likelihood of inflation and recession etc?
Recession is all but a lock atm.

 

[Maengun1]

I'm American and I barely followed this at all beyond doing some minimal reading and figuring out I wanted remain to win, so sorry to all the Brits who are gonna get screwed by this.

It's wild scrolling thru this thread and seeing like 80 upset posts in a row and then a random turd-in-punchbowl post like "yasssss #freedom #celebrate" lol

 

[ProfessorMoran]

What have we done...

It's called democracy.

 

[Archer]

The British chose to be the shadow of a failed empire over being a part of one of the biggest trading blocks, one that could leverage it's size against the likes of USA, Russia and China.

Nobody ever said people were smart. A large majority are idiots at best.

 

[NeOak]

If GBP-USD gets below 1.300 i will eat my fucking shoe.

Careful there

Id hold off. The shoe will be worth more than the gbp shortly

What kind of hot sauce?

Boiled leather isn't too bad.

Get ready

Have the mustard ready?

/dead

 

[Aquavelvaman]

I'm trying to see the silver lining and maybe after this kills the global economy capitalism will finally crumble right comrades?

 

[darkwing]

Ok, I can work with these, we manufacture export goods.

I am shocked at how devastated this decision has made me feel.

yup exports are good, unless your raw/source materials are mostly exported

that is why Japan doesn't like a strong yen, they rely on exports

 

[Mr Git]

I love that I was thinking this earlier and hoped the internet would provide. And it did. Thank you.

 

[BadHand]

All accordin to keikaku

wtf does keikaku mean? I need an interpreter.

 

[theaface]

I was being fictitious. If I said I am going to kiss you, and you ignored me...I would say, next time you will listen

Yeah... I don't understand you at all, and I'd prefer not to get myself banned.

Enjoy your pyrrhic victory.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Former Blair adviser Alister Campbell saying a "hard border" between the Republic and Northern Ireland will now happen. Christ Britain, what have you done?!

What does this mean?

 

[rodvik]

It has the typical margins of a landslide.

Just like the independence referendum did then.

 

[Easy_D]

If GBP-USD gets below 1.300 i will eat my fucking shoe.

I mean, at this rate, you migth have to eat shoes to survive, mate.

 

[antonz]

The Irony of a bunch of Idiots Parroting about making England great again when in the end all they have done is finally kill off the United Kingdom

 

[Dmax3901]

If GBP-USD gets below 1.300 i will eat my fucking shoe.

May need that shoe when the country's starving.

EDIT: Beaten.

BREAKING: Dutch Party for Freedom leader Geert Wilders calls for Dutch EU referendum after Brexit

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Can someone please give me some positives.

I am sitting here with my head in my hands :-(

You've now got more of a reason to move to another country, but it might be harder to actually do.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Yup, it reemerged temporarily, now down on volume.

Nintendo stock down 8.5%

Oh I see, the standard "Stage 1" circuit breaker is at -7%, for the Japan stock exchange indexed to the Nikkei 225.

The NYSE has the same circuit breaker, tied to the S&P 500.

 

[DeadlyParasite]

So as a Canadian what does this mean long-term? If Great Britain somehow dissolves does that mean the end of the commonwealth? Will that shape how our own government works with the queens involvement?

Either way, European jimmies seem rustled to the extreme because of this.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

I still can't believe this lmao

 

[Oriel]

1.1 million lead....

Full mandate, no question

Only in England and Wales.

 

[Social]

yeah... transferwise is not accepting any gbp trades atm

 

[demosthenes]

I was literally thinking of selling some investments yesterday. Thanks UK, about to lose all my gains.

 

[Doc Holliday]

The stock market is not the economy.

Too young to remember 2008?

When companies lose value, they lay off people.

 

[Gaz_RB]

wtf does keikaku mean? I need an interpreter.

(Keikaku means plan)

 

[mulac]

So as a UK Citizen (scottish) with a UK passport that is due for renewal early next year...a permanant resident in australia and getting my citizenship here this December.

WTF does this mean - I cant travel to the EU/US this year??

 

[Beefy]

At least Job Centres will be hiring I guess...

 

[Matsukaze]

What does this mean?

You know the Wall in Game of Thrones?

 

[FlammableD]

Agreed and if they had said, we refuse to vote as we don't want to leave...would have more sympathy....but they wanted to make Scotland's voice heard...well we heard and still lost...

I don't know any legal reasons if they could of blocked the referedum in Scotland, so I might be talking shit

wouldn't make a change

 

[ElTorro]

GBP vs USD NEW HISTORIC LOW IN DECADES

At least those filthy foreigners will now stay out of the country, amirite?

 

[MUnited83]

You will also make political decision that your future children have to live with.
Its really disgusting to me that some now insult old people for using their democratic right they are much longer here, have seen much more and have had much more experience.
In the past old people were a seen as a treasure drove of knowledge and experience today they get insults if they dont vote "right".

There's no knowledge or experience here. Just fearmongering and bigotry.

 

[Sarek]

Nikkei 225 is already down over 7%, will be interesting when the markets in EU and NA open.

 

[TyrantII]

I love how people don't get the irony of my Braveheart pic. I do agree with the UK leaving the EU, as I hate the EU and what it has done to certain countries. Specifically, I think Merkel is on a power trip and carrying on the history of Germans controlling other nations.

However, the use of the Braveheart pic is hilarious to me because Scotland has been dragged into all this because of England. Maybe sad for some but the irony in it was just too good to pass up.

On another note, that was the most epic FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOOM scream I could think of.

I think Scotland and Ireland will be having the last laugh.

 

[BlueTsunami]

The Irony of a bunch of Idiots Parroting about making England great again when in the end all they have done is finally kill off the United Kingdom

The beauty of letting fear guide your judgement

 

[jerry113]

So if this result encourages Northern Ireland and Scotland to break off from the rest of the UK, we could be witnessing the beginning of the dissolving of the UK as we know it...

Kind of ironic that the Leave supporters wanted to make a stronger UK.

 

[FeD.nL]

.

Unsurprising. Would have been breaking news if he didn't tbh.

 

[milanbaros]

This country. This country. Feel isolated. I hate this country right now. Job at risk today. My wife's job won't stand a chance.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

.

At least seeing the EU exploding itself will be a good thing coming out of this.

Fuck you Merkel.

 

[Steel]

Nikkei 225 is already down over 7%, will be interesting when the markets in EU and NA open.

Fuck.

At the least that means that the DOW will probably be down less than that. It doesn't move down much as other indexes in times like these.

 

[Mailbox]

The next few days are really gonna be interesting, that's for sure. But geez... those Pound value decreases are nuts.

wtf does keikaku mean? I need an interpreter.

Translators Note: Keikaku means plan.

 

[darkwing]

yeah... transferwise is not accepting any gbp trades atm

makes sense, you don't deal in currency that is currently unstable
