LOL :lol: Pound taking a nose dive and taxes will be going up..

It will take two more years to be free, and will cost them 2 times what they paid per year to be a part of the EU..

Now the EU may boycott The UK.. Unless they still take immigrants and abide by EU rules.. So are they really out.??

Meh but it looks good on paper

1.49 down to 1.34 to USD :lol: and still dropping - taking a POUNDing :lol:

What is sad about this election is UKIP sold fear of immigration, the same message Trump is selling... so it makes the message of fear of terrorism, fear of immigration a possible win for Trump..

That is scary and sad that people could be so weak.

hope our dollar doesn't drop fast like diarrhea. :( ;)

HOLLY SH'T Cameron quits as PM, Scotland wants to be part of EU so is threatening referendum to quit the UK..

Brexit voters urged to #usepens at poll, fearing their pencilled votes would be erased

Cue the conspiracies. Brexit backers were urged to bring pens to the polls because they feared their votes would be erased and changed if they used the provided pencils.
They spread the word during Wednesday's vote through a hashtag: #usepens. It was trending in the U.K.
"#Brexit take a pen with you, don't fill the box with pencil they will surely erase it!!" tweeted one.
Polls leading into the close vote suggested many who planned to vote for Britain to get out of Europe feared the campaign was rigged. A YouGov poll found 46% of Leave voters believed it was "probably true" their vote would be tampered with.
However, it didn't take long for the #usepens campaign to be taken over to mock the conspiracy theorists.
"If you're worried about your pencil vote being erased, take a pen. Then push it through your eye and into your stupid f---ing brain," tweeted one angry Brit.

The BBC (and flossy types) is bringing out the "Asians" to lament on the leave vote and how it so bad for the UK and bad for security etc..

Lots of butthurt among social justice warriors in the UK this fine day.

Lefties 9-11.

Christiane Aminpour of CNN has been ripping Nigel Ferage for the last two hours, called him a xenophobic anti-immigrant.... Hahaha

Of course.....
Anyone who doesn't agree with the current state of affairs is a xenophobic, islamophobic, homophobic, nazi, KKK, blah blah blah....

I, and I bet a lot of ordinary people, are getting sick of that. This is a beautiful kick in the arsz to the politically correct left who continually tell us how we should think.

A nice big "FUKK YOU" to the establishment.

Ohhh, but The £ is plummeting.

It's going to fluctuate over uncertainty. But it will strengthen as a degree of certainty returns over time.

Remember, the sky didn't fall. Everything Britain had yesterday it still has today.

Relax.

Also most of the FTSE100 companies benefit from a lower pound since they operate globally and a weaker pound helps sales abroad.

The pound will be close to where it was within 6 months probably, if not less.

The financial crash of 2008 saw the Dow Jones fall 18.3 percent on Oct 6, this is nothing, dont forget some of the biggest markets for EU products are in the UK, german cars for example frankly European industry wont allow this market to suffer, next Spain, Portugal and Greece will go.
