EU in or out???

[scruffynick]

Well, in a few hours us in the UK will find out if we're still in the EU or not. A big day in history for the UK and whatever side of the fence you're on, the debate has split the UK!

[knock it close]

Welp leave is getting some traction

[MarkFromTheUK]

I'm sane, so I voted remain.

 

However, on behalf of the 51% of halfwits who voted to leave, I would like to apologise for setting back the global economy years, and for plunging the UK in to a recession.

[MarkFromTheUK]

Farage the charlatan is backtracking on pledges already. Both he and Boris Johnson should be arrested and charged with fraud.

[pmadden86]

The people have spoken. The GBP will level out and is already on its way back up. Independence ref for Scotland and a United Ireland, and Gibraltar will be given back to Spain. Fantastic result.

[scruffynick]

I voted stay but it seems the rest didn't agree.....I'm actually for the first time ever worried and nervous about my and more importantly my kids future! And if Boris Johnson becomes PM, I'm moving to California!

Yeah... cause by living in Cali, Trump would be your biggest problem... smdh

[i*windows]

I can't believe the result. As an English guy living and working in the EU its a terrible day, not for me but for my kids.

As an American who never thought it would actually happen, and haven't really followed it bc it was "impossible," what was the reason?

 

Was it primarily immigration? Or are there economic benefits to the UK I don't see/ understand?

A combination of scaremongering and making unrealistic promises. I thought most Brits would see though the lies. Alas not.

Immigration, no doubt.

 

This country is a load of closet, screaming rascists. Much like any other country i'm supposing, lol.

 

Voted for remain. BTW.

Hilarious how controlling your borders means you are a racist - that was the single argument for the remain campaign - that is part of the reason it lost.

 

We are pumping many millions more into the EU than we get back - and our schools and hospitals are out the door with migrants. The once great NHS is about to fall apart as it cannot cope with the amount of people, and healthcare is free here.

 

Is it racist to complain about being unable to get a doctors appointment when I need one after paying my taxes here for 20 years?

Dam forgot about that, right then it's new Zealand.....my cuz lives in Christchurch! But what a combination, Boris and trump!! A chill has gone down my spine

It's looking like that, but the over 60s really swayed it I think. They just wanted out and that's that. Uk might be better off but the simple truth we don't know and that's my worry, I just don't know what's going to happen.

But this damp little country has gone through worse and come out the other end, just try and remember it's a vote to leave the EU not a vote to go to war. The UK will be ok as I'm optimist!!

[knock it close]

Crazy, monumental day. Markets are in turmoil, oil is down, gonna be rough.

 

Obviously not nearly enough knowledge on the subject but I think I would have lent toward leave. Then again me and my friends talk about Alberta jumping ship all the time, then again that was during 80+ oil, we'd be in trouble now, like Scotland would have been if there referendum passed

 

Just goes to show how widely divided the right and left in global politics have become.

[deasy55]

The irony of people voting leave to 'make the UK powerful once again' have pretty much given the 'United Kingdom' the death penalty.

 

Scotland will leave. Northern Ireland may follow.

[moegolfer11]

Markets will bounce back in due time always happens one way or another, no need to freak out and sell. What's that old Buffet adage again?

As an outsider, it seems like economic suicide.

 

The UK was an economic powerhouse during colonization, and slowly lost influence as it released colonies. The island, while lovely and damp, (at least when I have been there), doesn't have a lot of natural resources. The success came from free raw materials they were able to turn into completed goods to be sold. By leaving the EU, won't these goods be taxed more heavily, thereby driving up prices of the those goods and losing competitiveness on the open market.

 

I sure love your golf courses, and I love the fact you have taken Turnberry off the rota, but this seems like a xenophobic shot to your own foot. Perhaps a quick re-assessment of the national mood might bring Turnberry back in. Let's make Trump Turnberry Great Again!

 

Good luck UK, I hope I am wrong, but I can't see this (without any changes) as being a positive for anyone.

 

And thank you for the replies, I appreciate it.

Alan Greenspan had some interesting comments about the exit. Look them up.

Agree all the way.

 

Heard an 80 year old ex army fella interviewed on Radio 2. He couldn't stop crying at the fact that he finally 'had his Country back'. He also mentioned that he didn't like being 'ruled' by Germany and didn't want our Servicemen fighting for that.

 

All will be well.
