Britain leaves EU. Brexit happens.

Well, the "sky is falling" scenario with my funds has dissipated and I have recovered all but 4 or 5 grand so I'd imagine most of the Pound's value will return soon. Sovereignty isn't such a bad thing.

This is what cracked me up with this whole thing.....the market goes up pre vote in the anticipation of the vote being to stay....then the end is upon us (according to the press) when the vote goes the other way, down for a couple days....oh, right.....its back up (pretty much silence from the press about that).
Just silliness.
Market fluctuations shall continue.
Comedy.

Macroeconomic argument? I was using an example to prove that things are changing now. But obviously that proof doesn't benefit your argument. Yes politicians lie, but Brexit took that to a new level. This wasn't party politics, but a 'Pop-up Party' with people out for their own, we be already seen BoJo step down from the limelight, because he doesn't think he's 'the man'.

If you think the same amount of grant aid will come from the Uk government post Brexit then I think you're mistaken, I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am in this instance.

The same goes for the population argument, I hate to think that we're now going to be pushing immigration into the UK into the hands of criminals. Immigration will still happen.

I respect what people voted, I just don't think that they've been given the right information to make an informed decision, people have been lied to.
Let's agree to disagree.

I do find it interesting thought that pre referendum, BoJo, Farage et al insisted that they would fight for a re-vote if it was a 52-48 split, but they're all quiet now.

I was wondering if any of our POM members on the board have any updated perspective on this topic?

Are the red coats done arguing?

 

[UKram]

wait...what ...brexit ? EU ? damm i knew i forgot something

all i know is the politicians form all sides will be fine and dandy they'll all still be millionaires or fudging their expenses and making sure that they and theirs are alright while the common man and woman in the street get told to bend over and brace yourself. They are freaking hypocrites ... Far-ass is the biggest one there is

i voted remain just for clarity sake

So, revisiting this eight months later, how are things across the pond? Economy? Sentiments? How many immigrants have been strung up or ran off the island? Or is it a touch Shakespearean, "Much Ado About Nothing"?

It's a clusterfuck with a reality TV moron at the helm.

This is a shitshow.

Who's at the helm from reality TV? What makes it a shitshow? I haven't been keeping up with the news over there lately.

 

[Ramhusker]

Thanks. The only news I get here these days is of idiots in the streets protesting, usually, not even knowing what they are protesting while the rest of us go to work.

No convictions.....

So you would gain independence from England and remain in the EU?

That's the plan.

That's the plan.

Think that will work for your country? If so I'm happy for you guys. The people should always decide things for themselves.

Personally yes but the polls are literally 50/50 at the moment. It's going to be an interesting two years.
