Leave
Remain
Undecided
Oh well, if that's the case there's no doubt about itOriginally Posted by Letters
In case you hadn't noticed there are many of ignorant people who voted remain (I'm referring to the ridiculous posts on Facebook not the people who voted for a genuine reason but accept it didn't go their way) posting on Facebook at the moment too, again it doesn't prove a lot.

Wow that's a shock, that really came out of nowhere, do you have any more unexpected news?
If you know anything about basic economics then you'd realise this is a normal short term reaction to an event of this kind.
referendum usually means that the decision is too big for one party/government and they pass the buck back to the people.
The thing is pushing the big red self destruct button marked article 50 is clearly too big for anyone too. Quite a smart move from Cameron to leave it to Boris there. Now some brexiteers will Claim there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow when we leave. others will claim it's all going to be a socialist utopia with holograms and shit. And most of them will just rejoice at the idea of forcibly deporting Muslamicals.
All off the guff is irrelevant against the huge upheaval that an article 50 exit clearly implies. we have maybe a dozen trade negotiators left since all that was handled by the Eu. We have about 80,000 pages of law to sift through and replace with new uk law and as we've seen a massive problem trying to change any immigration numbers if we want to kee access to the single market (which we clearly need to).
in the meantime the pound and stock market are collapsing. investment decisions are getting put off, hiring plans shelved order books drying up and retirement nest eggs crushed.
Remain said all along this uncertainty and adjustment would cost us dear and wasn't a price worth paying. nobody listened and I suspect most leave voters didn't understand until after the event when they saw it on the news. Well it IS happening and we ARE in the shit now.
on a separate note, my brother was out shopping with his toddler yesterday. Got into an altercation with some old bloke who , outraged at having a toddler in a pr in his way demanded they back up. On not getting what he wanted he mumbled something along the lines of having voted leave and how folks like my brother need to pack their bags. This was on Holloway Road. I haven't experienced any of that since the 80s
I know some folks want to turn this into a treatise on globalisation and workers rights. well whatever the motivation of scribblers like Corby or ambitious men like Boris, they have simply whipped up some very base instincts. I'll never forgive them for taking us backwards like this.
Whoops! There go the goalposts again. Earlier you were saying the fall wasn't that bad...

Uncertainty affects markets shocker!
Nope, nothing to see here, everyone with half a brain would have expected this, it's normal in such an event.
I'll just repeat this I think...
Zim...given that we'll be without a Prime Minister for a few months, still waiting for the government to exercise Article 50 and we're talking two years until we're fully out of the EU....laws and regulations need to be rejigged, we need to strike up individual trade deals which can take several years to complete...Scotland are talking about a referendum.....when do you think we'll see a recovery in the market if it's reacting to all this uncertainty?

This was always going to happen short term due to uncertainty, it will settle down.
Hey, I told you that in confidence!
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
I've seen it could actually take more like 10 years to leave the EU, as there's a lot to do.
The market will recover once the initial shock dies down, you can't put a timescale on it but this reaction isn't unexpected, everyone thought remain woud win and right now there's uncertainty about what happens next, markets are very sensitive to these kind of factors.
On a different note Cameron has been very quiet I see, I thought he was prime minister, until October at least, seems to have disappeared with his tail between his legs.
