Should I stay or should I go now? - The EU Referendum Thread

[daboarder]

man you guys are so frakked.

look at that pound go

[Mr Mystery]

Oh dear.

There goes the economy, the currency, jobs and indeed common sense.

Though for those in the colonies...

1. Got any spare rooms?
2. Enjoy your cheap Forgeworld.



Pound in free fall, FTSE down 19%.

Early days of course due to immediate market jitters....but man. It had been kind of nice having a stable economy.

For once, I feel sorry for people who bought houses recently. 20% drop is possibly an underestimate....remember, the PPI scandal, whilst literally my bread and butter, has seen tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of home owners cancel any and all repayment insurances they had protecting their home. When mass redundancies start, that's a lot of home owners with their arse in the breeze and no way of maintaining their repayments.....expect repossession to hit a stupid level.

I didn't think the uk would actually be this stupid

I told you the working classes were pissed at the labour party taking them for granted.
What we need now though is the News to stop talking the economy into a recession, especially while it gets over its initial jitters.

Re the scotland/northern ireland question, it's both the nationalist parties trying to make political capital. Neither are anywhere near the 75% needed for it to discount the pro-eu nationalists using it for for their own ends.

I even had my losing gif picked out...

Really? If the referendum showed us anything it's the the k isn't that u.

You* cannot choose just to ignore the issue of the majority of voters by dismissing them as stupid or some sort of ism. People across England have been discontent for a long time. A campaign based on name calling and threats was never going to work.

Cameron is stepping down. May be not the time but it has raised a smirk with me.

*in the general sense not anyone specifically.

[Kirsten]

It is a victory for small minded pettiness and racism. We have been ****ed because idiots didn't want to look at the facts. I hope everyone enjoyed the last recession

[grimmas]

People don't care about "facts" when their own life experiences are to the contrary. They aren't happy dismissing it out of hand has not worked. May be leftsplaining is a thing. Gotta keep the plebs happy, the Romans knew that 2000 years ago (of course don't call them Plebs their faces though that won't work all).

I just can't believe it. I feel sick

I just can't believe it. I feel sick

Really?
If it was going to cause the end of the world they wouldn't have allowed us to have a vote.
