We're out of the EU!

Codcheeky, you're quite right about the disgraceful behaviour of the EU towards the PIIGS countries, Greece in particular. It is the one thing which led me to doubt which way I would vote the other year.

However, this referendum was about the UK. I'd guess that a tiny fraction of a percentage of voters went Leave due to the actions of the EU in southern Europe. Self-interest should have led us to vote remain, but the electorate hasn't just given themselves both barrels in the foot, they've reloaded and done it again!

I shudder to think what sort of an exit plan we will end up with when you've got a post-truth leadership of the Tories such as the liar Johnson and the idiot Gove. Good Lord, we're going to end up with Fox and IDS back in government again with Farage - someone who has stolen a living from the EU for years - helping to steer the debate. The mind boggles as to how much worse than the already terrible Cameron and Osborne this bunch will end being.

My fears too, it has left the country completely divided with a scary bunch of people in power

When I woke my wife up this morning with a cup od tea,

I said  " its a double whammy "

We are out and Cameron has resigned

Her reply was  " Hooray "  !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reporter: "Now Mr Cameron, what are you going to do now?"

Cameron: "Well, I've packed my bucket and spade and I'm going to Cleethorpes for the weekend."

Reporter: : "Will you be riding a donkey while you're there?"

Cameron: "No, fortunately George Osborne isn't coming"

it looks very much like it's the working classes and northerners who have really voted for this, and unfortunately it's going to be them who suffer first when the the job losses and factory closures start kicking in.

btw - banks already starting to talk about moving staff from the UK and into Europe. that means less payroll taxes and business taxes coming into the coffers.  companies will not be making investment decisions, they won't be buying new equipment etc and slowly but surely the economy slows down , jobs are lost, less taxes come in and more is spent on benefits.
but at least we won't have immigrants coming in, so that makes it all worth while.hurray!

I fear you don't know the damage you have done for the young people of this country. All we need now is Boris Johnson in charge and we are well and truly fooked. Sad day for me and i'm a little embarrassed that people from my area voted overwhelmingly for xenophobia, when most of them couldn't spell it, never mind know what it means. Bet most of them couldn't point to Brussels on a map.

You are welcome to your opinion Ginny,

In a few years time you will be saying , what a great move it was leaving the EU.

If nothing else there'll be some interesting chants if we play France in the QF! Their stock market is down a lot more than ours today.

You have nothing to base that on whatsoever. It was just another lie you were told...

I wonder how many of these "out" people are thinking 'I f**ked up' although they'll never admit it.

I wonder just how many of these remain guys have just had the carpet pulled out from under themselves unexpectetly. The remain guys seem shocked that this had happened, like they've been living in a dream world fantasy land.
